Yes, I'm getting old. Yes, my neck and shoulders used to kill me when it was time to crank out my tomato sauce or applesauce. I used to bribe my son to come over and crank for me. But since I got this motor a couple years ago, he can stay home, which we both appreciate. :) It's very easy to set up and it's very easy to use. Honest. You'll love it.

I do all kinds of canning and freezing, but, cranking that handle really started to hurt as I aged. I'd get cramps in my neck and shoulder. We finally bought the motor attachment and I said, "We should have gotten this year's ago!" I admit it was a little confusing at first, figuring out what went where. In this non-engineer's opinion, it doesn't go together the way "I think" it should. :) Other than that, it's been running for a couple years now without one complaint. This was the best investment I've ever made for canning purposes.

My neighbors / cousins have one of these electric motors for their roma food mill, it works fantastic !!!! The last three years we have made at least 100 gallons of tomato juice and salsa, pizza sauce and other things, the electric motor really takes so much work out of it. Worth every penny !!!
