I bought one last year and used it a lot, but what I find is faster for me when making salsa is to just halve my maters and put them cut side down in a roasting pan/dish and broil for 5-10 min on the top rack. The skin comes off easily after. Then it all goes into the food processor. I don't really use tomato juice and for me the victorio made way to much juice, even when I was saving seeds. Roasting keeps most of the good stuff in the mater and is less work for me. I like the taste of jalapenos done the same way.
