The model is so solid stainless steel, I decided to buy this one instead of plastic models. It cuts well and without much effort so it ensures its decision from the start. The catch is in the end when to remove the apple bottom because the device does not cut nearly to the end but it makes a small loss of time but nothing serious. Anyway, it applies to all such devices. This is convenient for me who am using a juice extractor and can put apple quarters into the machine. I recommend this model compared to others, because for months tested and approved!
