Bought this product, was disappointed to learn that one needs another product (the food grinder) for this to work. I was about to purchase the meat grinder but then took a trip down the reviews and realized this thing wouldn't make it 2 days with our usage (extracting beets and semi firm fruits. Quite often you see customers who misused a product but the sheer number of photos showing the broken cone point to a poorly engineered product rather than misuse. Returning immediately to spare myself the agony of the back and forth.
