Bought this to crush apples for cider makingAs long as you cut the apples into quarters they crush down into fine enough pieces to press for juiceThis has sped up the process significantly

Average processing, poor functionality. There are gaps between the knives, so every now and then the apple sits on top and the knives just tickle it in the half-eviscerated stomach. he can't handle the fruit properly, so the big apples just dance in the hopper. The axis of the handle is crooked and out of alignment, the blades rub against each other in the lower part. The resulting grit is quite coarse. I wonder how long the "bearings" will last.
