Default OMRA

Does anyone here own a OMRA non-motorized tomato squeezer? My DH is eyeing one as a Christmas gift at a local shop but given it's price I'd sure like to hear from someone who has had experience with it.

Thank you in advance....from a peep that hopes to have many, many tomatoes to process next fall!

I own the Villaware manual model below and found it at HomeGoods for $30.00 + tax.

It works great and it's easy to set up, easy to clean and built of out sturdy materials.

I canned over 60 quarts of tomato gravy in 2004 and it worked like a charm. :wink:

and not all the power of death

can keep my spirit

from wagging a grateful tail.

Thank you for the reply Mischka. I'd also seen the Villaware advertised online and the price looked *much* better (I'll be checking out their shipping costs right away . I wasn't sure how well the Villaware would stand up so I'm happy to get a thumbs up from you.
