I cut out the core and cut the tomatoes into quarters so that the pieces easily slide down the chute and into the auger with almost no help from me with the pushing tool. I can even run the skins through twice without a problem. Clean up is about the same as the Victorio.

I'm now convinced the new Victorios are a different machine than the old ones. Seems everyone with a vintage Victorio loves it and too many of us with today's model seem to be having issues.
Your review of the KitchenAid attachment has made up my mind.
I could get a more expensive more powerful contraption but I have to ask myself.
Do I really need it and would I use it enough to justify it.
