A Canner’s Dream.

I bought this on 08/22/2023 on the recommendation from my co-worker and I am so happy that I did! This attachment cut my tomato prep by 75%. I processed 204 tomatoes in about 2 1/2 hrs. Prior prep time was 4 1/2 hrs for 70 tomatoes. The strainer worked exceptionally well and cleaning it was a breeze. My helpful hint would be if you want to run the grinding cast-off a second time, pour some off the juice with it so the grinding screw doesn’t get bogged down/ jammed. The KitchenAid team who designed this gets a A+ and should get a huge raise. The KichenAid Marketing team gets a D- because my only knock is that the strainer and grinder should also be offered as a set because you cannot use the strainer without having the grinder already.
I have processed less than 20 pounds of tomatoes and 12 pounds of apples and the strainer has broken - it separated along the seam. I also had the same issue as many in that i did not realize that you had to buy so many separate parts to get this system to work
WHY on earth do you have 3 different grinders and only ONE that is compatible with the strainer? I have wasted SO MUCH TIME driving to stores. You’ve lost a customer for life. Maybe make it CLEAR that this doesn’t go with the strainer. Terrible production.
I love this attachment. I have used it for many years and have canned a lot of sauce using it. The only issue I have with it is that the hopper where the food product is placed is cracking where it attaches to the mixer. I do love KA products and was disappointed that this had failed to meet my expectations for sturdiness that I have come to expect. I have many other KA products: pasta roller/cutter, meat grinder, etc. and they have all had a reliability, sturdiness and quality that I have relied on. I was hoping to buy just the foos hopper but it appears that I would have to purchase the entire set.
The pictured item offered for sale is not the item in the box. Only the far left part is included. The center Attachment shown is missing. Therefore your vegetables will rot before you get a proper center part if you needed it in time for canning.

Wish I would have bought this sooner. I only grow cherry tomatoes, but always end up with too many. But the “old school” way of making sauce is too much work to do with cherry tomatoes. The hole in the top of the grinder is the perfect size to pop in whole cherry tomatoes. Processed bucketloads of tomatoes for sauce in no time and with hardly any effort!
I have used the product about 6 times on tomatoes. Like so many other reviews here mys strainer seam has popped which forces seeds and skin out. love the way it works, but very disappointed with the faulty part.
