Same design problem as the standard spiral October 29, 2008
Gidget (Oregon, USA)
There is a gap of 1 1/2" to 2" at the back end of the grape spiral under the hopper, and because it is the spiral action that moves the matter being sauced or juiced into the spiral, all of the matter that is in the gap never moves into the spiral. The Norpro "Sauce Master (model 1951)" that the grape spiral is used in is poorly designed and I wouldn't buy it again; there are just too many flaws. The bottom of the "squirt guard tray" (the plastic discharge chute that the juice flows down to a collection bowl) is exactly 2 1/2" above the surface of what the body is clamped to. Makes it difficult and messy to dump the juice into a larger container. As with the standard spiral and any of the screens, there is the problem with the refuse falling into the sauce or juice as the discharge frequently falls into the "squirt guard tray". The discharge end of the screen makes it extremely difficult placing anything other than a small deep bowl under the "squirt guard tray", which severely limits the diameter of the collection bowl. If you look at the "220 Food Strainer and Sauce Maker" by Back to Basics (which is highly rated), you'll see that they have a clear plastic extension that attaches to the small end of the screen allowing the placement of the refuse bowl a good distance from the collection bowl, and moreover, it appears that the bottom of their "squirt guard tray" is higher off the surface that the body is clamped to, allowing for a larger and deeper bowl to collect the juice and pulp. The 2 1/2" clearance of the Norpro unit is a serious limiting factor in how much juice or pulp you can collect before dumping without spilling. The grape spiral is just a standard spiral that has been sawed off at the smaller end. The Back to Basics unit is about $20 more than the Norpro unit, but price shouldn't be the deciding factor; get the better unit.
