I got the Roma manual tomato mill this spring (with the optional grape auger, pumpkin screen and berry screen) and have been quite pleased with it. I was able to do two flats worth of tomatoes (about 25 pounds) in about 45 minutes, including set up and clean up time.

I did one batch of roma tomatoes and several batches of mixed varieties. The roma tomatoes produced more sauce per pound of tomato after cooking, because the raw pulp/juice was less watery.

I also did two pounds of grapes to make grape jelly. A lot less work than running them through either a Foley mill or a chinois. Pumpkins are next on the list of things to try.
