Not feeling the love for my new Victorio strainer

Father'sDaughter · September 29, 2018

After a full season with the Kitchenaid strainer attachment, my Victorio has been officially retired.

The KA attachment creates a fraction of the mess (no splatters!), runs through the tomatoes in a fraction of the time, and the screen goes through 20-30 pounds of raw tomatoes without a hiccup. I cut out the core and cut the tomatoes into quarters so that the pieces easily slide down the chute and into the auger with almost no help from me with the pushing tool. I can even run the skins through twice without a problem. Clean up is about the same as the Victorio.

I'm now convinced the new Victorios are a different machine than the old ones. Seems everyone with a vintage Victorio loves it and too many of us with today's model seem to be having issues.
