Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have used this Roma Vegetable Strainer for making apple sauce twice. Previously I have used the Victorio strainer (very nice and sturdy, but no longer available) and Back to Basics (stronger than the Roma in my opinion, but not as good as the Victorio - it had a lot of parts to lose and was not rust resistant). The Roma is easy to put together and seems to be rust resistant, but is weak, flimsy, unstable, and doesn't hold on my counter well with either the suction or the clamp. Things I like about the Roma Strainer: * Pieces attach easily without nuts and bolts * Seem to be rust resistant (The Back-to-Basics strainer that I bought 15 years ago had some parts that would rust) * Plastic cone that takes the waste (seeds, core and skin) away is farther from the sauce dispenser, making it easier to have various shapes of bowls. Things I dislike about the Roma Strainer: * The suction cup does not hold on my smooth quartz counter-top. Nice try, but it doesn't work. * I have a bull-nose (rounded edge) to my counter-top so the clasp doesn't work very well either - it isn't long enough to reach around the bull-nose. So, it starts wiggling fairly quickly and isn't very stable, with no way to attach it more firmly. * The handle is much harder to turn than the old Victorio (purchased 30 years ago) or Back-to-basics (purchased 16 years ago) strainers I have previously used. As I turn the handle, the vertical support seems to wobble or bend a bit, as though it isn't very strong. * The handle seems a bit flimsy. * Turning the handle is stiffer with more resistance than with the other strainers I have used before. (You tire more quickly. * I have to run the waste product through 2 x as there is a lot of good applesauce that goes out with it. The materials and workmanship are poorer quality. Some of the features (fewer parts to get lost) are nicer. Overall, though, my experience is that it is not nearly as good or as easy to use as the other strainers I have used in the past.
