Navaris Food Mill - 20.5cm Stainless Steel Rotary Food Mill Sieve Grater with 3 Grinding Discs - Vegetable Strainer Sauce Maker to Grind/Puree Food

I bought this 'Flotte Lotte'/ mill for the main purpose of processing tomatoes, which I do in large quantities at a time. This mill will crush the tomatoes, extracting the juice and pulp whilst retaining the skin and seeds. They are also used for processing apples.The mill arrived as two pieces to be assembled, along with a choice of 3 disks, each one being a grater with specific sized apertures. I mostly used the mid sized one for my purposes.Assembling the mill was easy. I placed the disk of choice in the base aperture of the mill. The disks have three raised 'ribs' which locate into respective grooves in the base of the mill, locking securely. The centre of each disk has a hole, into which the stem of the hand crank must be inserted. The cross bar of the hand crank is secured on both ends into the mill, by pressing its 'winged/ upward facing end tips into the pockets on opposite sides of the mill. The mill is then ready to be used.I found operating the mill really easy, effortless- it operates so smoothly. I also tested the mill on mango pulp (cutting off flesh nearer the seed) The mill sorted the fruit pulp from the fibres with ease. I have since tried peaches and more with great success. This is a really versatile tool that is amazing at separating juice/ pulp from fibres, seeds and skin. I saw these used more in Southern Europe - I don't know anyone personally who has one.This mill is just as easy to take apart for washing. I always ensure that the components are fully dry after washing, before re- assembling for re-use.As I can a lot of produce, I find the mid-sized disk to be adequate for all my produce. There is a finer disk for thinner juices if required and a larger aperture disk for thicker produce, e.g. mashed potato.Basically. don't underestimate how effective this tool is, I wouldn't be without it - it is simple to use, very lightweight and extremely versatile.

it was solid and well made but had a fatal flaw from my perspective. the blade does not touch the sieve so any fruit skins soon block the sieve and its not possible to turn backwards and remove the blockage using the blade as a scraper. The old fashioned french style moulet allows this scraping of debris and is much more useful as a result.

Quite difficult to use - fiddly and results not great- had to resort to sieve

Great machine, easy to use. Good size. Easy to come apart and clean. Good for very soft food. I had watermelon to juice and my blender broke so used this, took a while but did manage to juice it, so does have good versatility.

You get what you paid for, cheap food mill that does its job.Don't have huge expectation from it, it's ok to process very soft and fiber-less food.Great to mill boiled/steamed potatoes and tomatoes.If you try with more fibrous food like butternut squash the blade will not work properly.

Light versatile and easy to use .Does the job .

It appears sturdy and well made but the blade is a long way from the sieve. You turn and turn and not much happens. And there’s a lot left over. I’ve tried bending the blade so we’ll see. Not impressed

Absolute garbage product. Nothing holds the lever in place which means nothing keeps the scraper on the discs. Assumed it was missing a piece, but no- it’s just a horrible design.
