The DIY crusher is a tough, effective machine. It is easily assembled in a few minutes. Works with apples, pears, grapes, and other hard or soft fruit. Just halve smaller apples, or quarter large cookers, put the crusher on top of a bucket and turn the handle. This quality fruit press takes up to 12 kg of pulped fruit and yields around 5 litres (9 pints) of juice per pressing.

Excellent product simple to use and very robust – I previously had a juicer which broke after not much use. This is the product you need if you want more than just very occasional use. This size was right for us to make 3 or 4 bottles of juice a month.
There was a slight problem with screw which was fixed by return of post. Happy with that
Handle on press is hard to use ended up fashioning some padding from some pipe insulation and pvc tape. Would be nice if the was a way to clamp the crusher to the barrel of the press as it really need 4 hands to operate. The shaft of the press gets stuck after use and requires a vice and some mole grips to loosen each press. Other than than that press and crusher are well made and substantial and did the job of crushing and pressing 70 Kg of apples. resulting cider is good.
Quick delivery, perfect for small quantity pressing
I am really happy with this offer I bought for myself as a solution to slicing and pressing so many apples and pears to make my cider vinegar and chutney. The two items were easy to assemble with gloves (the metal can be sharp). It took in all about half an hour to build the two and get going. They are easy to wash down with a hose pipe.
Excellent press. Could really wind this tight and get all juice out.
I am very satisfied with the purchase. Great contact, very fast shipping

Straightforward to assemble and worked well, we made our first batch of cider from our own apples. Particularly impressed with the crusher. The press needed a bit more setting up, perhaps because our apples weren’t very juicy, but we had to clamp it to a table and then set it at an angle to get the juice to pour out ok.
Everything worked as expected, made lots of juice.
