More food mill questions

I looked at two of them yesterday, and one was like the people who
responded to my last question about food mills described. It was $40. and
similar to a stainless steel bowl, with a screen in the bottom and a handle
that when turned, caused a blade to rotate, crushing and separating the
food from the seeds and peels. It came with only one size screen, which
was too large to remove berry seeds.

The second resembled a meat grinder, in that it was mounted on 3 legs, you
poked the food in from the top into an augur assembly that forced it
through a cone shaped screen. The good stuff came out from the bottom
into a bowl, the seeds and peels came out the end into another bowl. This
Foley unit was about $65 after buying the extra screen cone to remove
berry seeds and was mostly stainless steel,except for the plastic bowl.

Have any of you any experience with the second one? Is it any better or
worse than the first one I described here? Should I keep looking till I
find one like the first one described here only with 3 straining
attachments?

Thanks for your help in advance.

The second one is a FOLEY? Wow! Didn't know they made one like that!
I have one (although a different manufacturer) with an auger that
separates as you describe but it clamps to a counter, doesn't sit on
feet - see my post of January 5. I'd go for that one.

Do you have a link to the Foley you describe? I can't find it myself.

I have one almost exactly like the one in the link except the body is while
plastic. I use it frequently and wash it in the diswasher. Mine was the
Martha Stewart food mill from K-Mart and was only $20.

I am sorry. The first one was a Foley. The second one was a Victorio from
Villa Ware. Sorry I got them mixed up.

The Victorio is great - get the berry screen for another $10-12.

Check this one:

Hey, Dwayne -- have you checked on eBay for a Victorio (or similar
brand)? Might be worth the effort.
