Customer Reviews
I’d be delighted to provide some details of my experiences with your equipment. I bought a hydraulic press GP-26s and an Electric Fruit Crusher ESE-018 from you in 2020 as I had moved house to a rural location in south west England with 12 apple trees spread around a 1.5 acre sloped garden. I had no previous experience of apple pressing or any similar activities but didn’t want the apples to go to waste, as each year about 4-6 trees produce a good crop of useable apples, which are a mix of dessert and cooking varieties.
The press and crusher are incredibly well made. Their study construction is a delight to see, as they are serious, no frills, can handle lots of volume and look like they’re so tough they’ll last for decades. My experience with them has been great. I’ve used them for 4 harvests so far to make apple juice for personal consumption, usually over a 2-3 day period in mid-October, preceded by several weeks of sporadically collecting windfall. Following your very helpful instructions re windfall vs picking, cleaning, crushing and pressing, I’ve made 150 litres of very tasty apple juice over 4 years. Initially I tried freezing the juice but found that pasteurisation is much better - when pasteurised and using good quality resealable glass bottles the juice has lasted 2+ years stored at room temperature.
Photos of a) my makeshift crushing and pressing setup – this is between day 2 and 3 of the pressing action in 2022 (a bumper harvest year), and b) bottles cooling post-pasteurisation (with an apple tree in the background), are attached. In case it’s of any interest to you, stats of apple kilos picked and cleaned, and juice litres obtained are as below. Starting apples kg are probably about 40% windfall, 60% picked on the day.

Nous faisons de longue macération de fruits dans nos bières. Après séparation, ils sont encore gorgés de liquide. Nous utilisons donc la presse pour extraire le maximum de liquide des fruits.

Thank You very much! The sent crusher arrived today before lunch. Very correctly packed and the crusher itself is also properly made. I was surprised by the very quiet engine - no noise and that it remained stable when starting and did not jump from place to place. I am very satisfied.

I love the fruit press (20 L basket). I use it every year to press about 200 L of apple juice and it does the job well. I appreciate the design in particular. The press is quite compact for its size and can be moved around yet it is tall enough to accommodate a container under it to collect the juice. The purchase process itself was straightforward and the delivery excellent. The packaging was very solid and nothing was damaged in transport. It is easy to press apples with the press. I had issues with jamming the wooden piston initially and damaged the screw end. Your support was exceptional then and you kindly sent me a metal piston to replace the wooden one, which works much better for me.
I really like the crusher as well. It is very compact and crushes apples effectively. Both products are perfect for me and the amount of apples I am juicing.

The apple press we bought from you is superb. We used it to juice apples to make cider, last October. Very easy to use and clean, we look forward to using it again in the Autumn. The delivery time to Ireland was very fast and it arrived in perfect condition.
I have no hesitation in recommending this product and your company.
Thank you!
