This was used to juice a variety of tomato types. It works best with juicy tomatoes not the seedless, firmer tomatoes. It worked well with de-seeding the juicy tomatoes. The firmer tomatoes clogged up the auger & liquid backed up necessitating dismantling. Not sure if liquid backed up into mixer drive area. What a nasty scare! Of course, no directions and mixer did work after a few minutes rest.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am unable to use the new fruit and vegetable strainer attachment, as it needs a piece not included in the set. I believed I had that piece as part of the meat grinder attachment, but KitchenAid changed the design between these two purchases. The two elements do not fit together. I will now need to purchase yet another kit to accommodate the fruit and vegetable strainer. It is especially frustrating because, although I live in a small town with a class-act kitchen store, they are unable to carry KitchenAid products because they are too small to provide merchandise, according to KitchenAid. That's a mistake. And it forces me to purchase on-line where I cannot conduct business with real human beings. I tried calling KitchenAid when I first placed the above order, to make sure all was correct. I was on hold for about 1/2 hour. I finally hung up.

Do you have any idea how many hours of my childhood could've been spent playing instead processing tomatoes if Mom would've had one of these? Love this thing!
Isnt compatible with the kitchen aid meat grinder we have. Even though the picture shows it being used with the plastic meat grinder
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Horrible. It clogs way too fast and the grinder that it mates with leaks. What a waste of $. I had to purchase the new model grinder just to use it. Tomato juice all over my kitchen! Had to unclog it multiple times and seeds, skins and core ended up in my sauce because of the clog cleaning, so completely defeated the purpose.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
