Now, I know you guys think I'm going to give the thing high praise at this point...NO. I fiddled around with that thing for 2 years until I saw it was a hassle, and clearly not up to the level of production I desired, let alone the waste of tomatoes that were coming out of the end! Trying to run that pulpy mess back through was time consuming and messy.

I now use the fastest, most efficient method to juice tomatoes at home, on a larger than normal scale. A blender, and a food mill. 12 gallons of juice from washed and cored tomatoes in less than 15 minutes! And NO waste other than a handful of DRY seeds and skins!
I have been doing exactly what you practice. I do around 300 pounds per year depending upon my garden production.The pictures on the internet are not are not convincing but I will reserve my opinion until I give it a try.
