1.6 Gallon Fruit Wine Press Cider Juice Maker Tool

Pretty simple operation, put crushed fruit in, assemble the pressing plates, turn nut, get juice. There are some problems though.

Easy to clean

Press out moisture from blanched vegetables used for egg roll filling.

Love, love, love this product! Helped me process my six apple trees into apple juice. Just make sure to process early in the morning so you can hose everything off and it can dry out in the sun. We got enough spacer blocks to adequately press everything. Make sure to buy food-grade oil or petroleum jelly so that it doesn't rust! We attach ours to a pallet which gave it the height needed to put a large jug underneath to catch the apple juice.

This press works fine, we pressed grapes and apples. I cut an extra piece of wood to fit inside at the bottom so the slatted cage doesn't move around. One iron bar is ok, but I used two more for ease of turning. You'll have to replace the mesh bag fairly soon, it's not robust. All in all for the money, it's a reasonable starter press. I'm pleased with it.

Easy to use,arrive in nice condition.

It does the job. I juiced grapes, apples, pears etc.

If you're looking at purchasing this item I strongly recommend buying something of better quality. Press should really be screwed down to a sturdy surface as it will move around and easily make a big mess to clean up.

I’m obsessed with my juice maker tool. Very nice, it's easy to assemble and clean

I have just finished 10 pressings of apple cider with this press. I give it a 4.75/5.0.Per the reviews on this press, I did two things before using it. First, I cut two extra oak 2x4’s spacer boards to fit. Next, I anchored the base to a wide board. I you don’t do these two things, you will be disappointed.Yes there was some minor paint chipping on the press nut after some use. Also my pressing bag held up well after 10 uses. It is a good idea to have a spare bag.This press is perfect for those processing 5-20 gallons of juice.MMm, this cider tastes great!

I just used it today to press apples for cider. It worked well and did exactly what it's meant to do. Cleanup was easy.

The press works fine, is easy to put together, and to clean. I gave it an almost with the ease of use because it gets VERY hard to turn when the apples get low. Made great juice though and my daughter is using it to teach a "Prairie" class at school. Seems a good value for the money too.

This juice maker is very easy to use and easy to clean, strong Material ，we use this to make wine and all kind the juice, very delicious, my family love it!

It works great, other than it needs a bit more woodblocks to do a good job of squeezing. I just added in a few extra oak blocks that I sanitized with star-san.

This seems like a good press. Not too large and easy to use. All metal parts were wrapped with plastic wrap. Base must have been sticky after painting because wrap will not come off, which will become a health issue. Contacted the manufacturer twice with no reply, hence the 3 star review. Not sure how I will remove the plastic. Would have sent it back had I not added 3 coats of mineral oil to the wood before assembly.

I have no prior experience with pressing cider, so I can't make any comparisons. But this thing is a heluve lot of fun to use.

I have used this press for the last two days pressing apples and I love it!! From apples it will produce between 34-36 ounces at batch.

Used this to crush apples for making apple wine and cider. Once mounted to a board and clamped in place it was quick and easy to squeeze the juice out. Just right for the home brewer that is going to prepare only a few gallons at a time.

I bolted this to my work bench and it works awesome. Had to cut some extra wood blocks to put inside to get the max amount of juice but amazing for the price.

Well made. Haven’t rendered any cider yet but, seems to be a quality press.
I would buy again.

Exactly what I was looking for

i used this product to press about 40 gallons of wine must. Took about an hour. Great device and easy to use.

Haven't used it yet. It would be great as a decorator piece in your family room or garden if not crushing grapes!

Fiance's talked about a cider press for years. Us and the kiddos hav fun with it

I have just started make me my own juices but looking at juicers online does not match this fruit wine press looks way better in it’s more vintage looking than the ones you see online for the juicers The quality of the fruit wine purse is super nice it is a very nice quality wood and it’s super easy to clean and it’s super roomie and super light as well

It's OK. Not very stable if not anchored to a table, but it got the job done

This juice maker is very easy to use and easy to clean, strong Material ，we use this to make wine and all kind the juice,very delicious ,my family love it!

This isand it works very well.

This thing is awesome!! Made about six gallons of apple cider this year!! The kids love it, the fresh cider is awesome!!

Nice little press.

I was skeptical when I saw / received this, but it is a sturdy little workhorse and cranks out the cider. The first thing I did was to duplicate the two spacer blocks on my table saw so that I had a half dozen extra to space the crusher head as needed. I run the apples through a food processor first to chunk them, then clamp this press to a table and crush the processed apples.

Great product.

Works great. Easy to clean.

Superb construction, easy to use, and worth the money!

Fun to use....works GREAT! Had to make longer blocks for smaller batch, but overall, GREAT gadget

I used this for pressing crabapples. My method is drawn out and tedious but yields lots of tasty juice. I cut the apples in half, freeze, thaw, chop in the food processor, then load the press and crank it down. I let it sit about 5 minutes, then crank down a little more, repeating this several times until I'm sure I've gotten every last drop. Doing it this way yields 2 quarts of juice per press, about 2 gallons per 5 gallon bucket of crabapples. I did cut 2 2x4 blocks to use in addition to the blocks provided to get maximum press.

It's small and you really do need to cut up your fruit into smaller pieces to get the best juice. It's a bit wobbly (thinking of attaching a flat plate of some type to the legs for stability), but okay. We're looking forward to using it as a fun family activity (everyone gets a chance to turn the crank) each fall as we get some great fresh apple juice. IF you want a lot of juice -- buy a bigger unit. This one is perfect for us as a couple of baby boomers enjoying the fruits of our labors (pun inteneded).

Love it! I pressed a load of apples, the juice was delicious. This press it easy to use, clean and store.

remember buy smaller than you'd think you'd use--to get best pressure

Finally got to try this out this summer for making cherry juice. It worked great. Appears to be well made, looks like it will last for many years. Great price for a very durable product, but probably too small to try to press harder fruits like apples in it.

The press works well. I have used it with two batches of apples I crushed first. It is not a large press, which I knew, but for someone just doing a few batches it is fine. It would have been nice if it had more blocks. To really make it work the best and to get all the juice out of a batch, you need to make or put in more blocks to squeeze the apples more. I cut two pieces of 2 by 4 boards to put in vertically, which allows you to do this. Other than that, I am pleased.

squeezed apples.. 1 5 gal bucket of apples equals 1 gal of juice. worked great. thanks

We used it to crush grapes. We put in 10 containers of concord grapes, and we were left with just a few ounces of pulp. I squeezed all the juice out. It was a real fun activity.

I did my first spple cider..works great

Seems to be made good but havn't had a chance to use it yet.

Works very well

Works great. I recommend ordering extra wood blocks.

The press is fine for small quantities. We used it to make apple cider. We learned how best to use it by trial and error. We recommend mounting the press to a piece of plywood to give it more stability.

This is one of the better thinga we ever purchased.

love it!made 10 gallons of muscadine and loved this press .

worked very well

Worked out well.

I was satisfied with the press only thing was I had to modify the 2 wooden blocked on top. They were to long to go into the press. It arrived on time.

worked well bag was a little cheap but worked.

the press works well; however, if you have less than a full bag while pressing you have to put a piece of 2x4 because you cant spin the press down past thr wooden basket. soumds confusing until you try it.

I have used this press for the last two days pressing apples and I love it!! From apples it will produce between 34-36 ounces at batch.

Good product for making small amounts of apple cider.

I used it so far to press honey out of comb and it worked well

I expected this to be a piece of crap from the price relative to many others I've seen online. Very pleasantly surprised! I have done 2 gallons of apples so far on it and it's worked great each time. My kids get a real kick out of helping. If you're on the fence about trying to press your own apples, this is a great starter piece.Order some food safe grease with it! You *need* to grease the screw or it will get disgusting, and you need to use food safe grease or your cider will be disgusting.

Works as expected. For the price, meets expectations.

I gave it 4 stars because you have to make more blocks to squeeze farther down but it works great

Works great!! The wood blocks that came with it weren't enough so we had to make more wood blocks and then it worked great! Very pleased with it!

works great !!!!!!

I haven't used it yet but come May of next year I'm sure its going to make the blackberry squashing much easier. Looks about like the big press I had many years ago for making cider.

Very pleased with this press. It is sturdy, well made, easy to use and clean. It really is worth the price. Note that you will want to have more wooden blocks for pressing out the maximum amount of juice. Not a big deal, but being prepared with extra blocks on hand before pressing your juice is a good idea. I bolted the unit to an old cutting board to give it stability, which you will need when pressing harder fruits such as old fashioned pears and good cider apples.

Use it for honey extraction and works great.

I love it - works great- I get clean clear juice from my grapes! So much easier and the size is appropriate for a small family garden.

Brought for a friend who make wine he said was the best thing he have no complaints. The The price is also fair.

I like making wine and this makes juicing so much easier and makes me feel nostalgic using it. I made six gallons of apple cider on my first run with more apples to press. Strong, well built, and easy to clean.

The press looks nice and is well made. To use this design, note that you'll need the right amount of fruit, or else you won't be able to press without putting additional wooden blocks in the press.

Really like my press well made

Works great. With so many berries it is going to be a life saver. Thank you for a wonderful price.

So easy to use
