This patty press is a good alternative to the thousand dollar pattyomatic for the price. It_ essentially the same thing from what I can tell. The only thing I noticed was that the piston that goes in the cylinder was too big in diameter to fit in the cylinder so I had to use my bench grinder to remove a couple millimeters from its overall diameter. Finished it with some fine sand paper and viola! I most definitely would order this again seeing how it was a way cheaper alternative. The few minutes of grinding and sanding were better than an extra 800$?.My package got delayed thanks to Fedex, so I contacted the seller and they responded quickly. There weren_ hardly any reviews for these presses so I was skeptical. If you_e been on the fence whether or not to buy this, don_ be, I have no regrets.
