As a table top press it does the job. Fruit needs to be pulped first to make the pressing easier. Only used a couple of time so need to practice. Didn't want to screw down the base to keep it from moving whilst turning the screw press, so it really is a two person job. Apple juice comes out really a dark colour probably because of the skins etc, fantastic tasting though and worth the effort. going to experiment freezing the apple juice to see how it keeps.
It is a great presser, only disadvantage is that it is so small. But it's written in name only 4.5 litre. On the other hand, it has very good plastic parts and very well made metal parts. I like it, even if it small
