Food mills

I want to get one, but I want a good one. I have a Kitchen Aid mixer, anyone have their food strainer/grinder? How well does it work.

I will primarily be using it for blackberries.

Reviews on the Kitchen Aid attachment says it clogs on blackberries - so that's out.

Best reviews so far is the OXO food mill.

I have one but it is difficult to use on blackberries. It does work, though. If that was my primary use, I'd probably get the victtorio (spelling?) with the changable screens. I love my kitchen aid for apple sauce, tomato sauce, raspberry jam, small batches of blackberries. But, if I were doing tons of blackberries, maybe not.
It's not supposed to work on grapes, either. I havent tried that yet. My complaint is that it only has one screen and it's rather fine. It would be nice to have a coarser screen for larger seeded work, to help prevent clogging issues.
I've thought about looking for a cheap hand mill but I don't need it often enough to justify it. I do use the kitchen aid for big batches of stuff fairly often.
I also love the meat grinder you can get in the same package.
Make sure you buy the larger tray separately.

I have been using a Squeezo for over 30 years and love it, I have 3 screens, one for fruit, one for berries and one for pumpkin/squash. The only thing I found I can't run thru it is grapes. I believe Lehmann's is carrying it again; for years I hadn't seen it on the market. Good luck!
