Does this applesauce maker leak around the gaskets/strainer part? I have an old one that leaks a LOT and makes a big mess underneath. Thanks!

My old one leaked also and was more messy but this new one does not. It is also easier to assemble.

Mine is new and does not leak where the strainer is attached to the main unit. It has a 'rubber' (could be soft plastic...I don't know) ring which serves as a gasket where the strainer is attached to the main unit. I believe the 'rubber' ring is absolutely important, as if it was not there, applesauce would likely squish out there.

Hi Lisa: We also had an old one that leaked like a sieve, but it was probably 50 years old, so that's what prompted me to buy a different one. This one, I do keep a little bowl on the floor in case it drips.........I have found it'll drip a small amount if I'm making 'V5', and my carrots aren't mushy enough. The strainer probably isn't made for that, but that food mill will go through anything. So, in answer to your question, I would say 'yes', but only a matter of a few drops........NOTHING like my previous mill, where most of the juice was on the floor. Hope this helps!

The only place it leaks for me is at the handle. Since I 1st tried it out I've purchased the motor and it still leaks a little so I just put a paper towel on the floor below it and keep on working. Guess its just part of the process. Now I do use the mallet that comes with it to push the food down into the shute and that's when I notice the juice leaking so I may be pushing too hard. No other location does it leak for me.

A little, but not like the old ones. There is a new seal that fits in the crank hole that eliminates most leaking. I was pleased with the improvement

Mine did not leak but from using older versions of food mills I put a towel on the floor just in case. For me this machine was a pleasure to use.

Yes it does, not always but I do need to make sure I have something under it.

Hmm, I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to--I put a bowl under the section that the peels and seeds etc come out of, and then a bowl under the strainer that the sauce goes into. So, yes there are things coming out of the machine, but they're stuff you want to come out--the yucky part--and good part!! No real leakage to speak of. I hope that answers your question:)

The first time I used the appliance it did not leak. The second time I did not have the ring in properly and it leaked a little. My biggest problem is the plastic plunger is useless. It's a good thing I kept the wooden one from my old strainer to use with this one.

Other than the water left over in the grooves from either rinsing or over filling it and then closing it I haven't had a problem with it leaking. It could also be the rubber attachment, I took nine off right when I got it because it was irritating me.

Hi Vikas, i had that same problem in the beginning, I changed the hose and it still happened but it wasnt drastic, i tightened the hose and since its been fine with no problems. Not sure where it is leaking from but check the hose connections, I hope this helps.

There is no gasket and I have 3 that I love. I do put them on the top basket in the dishwasher and do not take off the silicone sleeve. I have dropped one a couple of times and it has not broken. They are easy clean and durable.

I have had this problem 3 times. Returned twice, third time found a fix online: 1) check the gasket, as mentioned. you may need to flip it 2) use pliers or a vice grips to "overtighten" it. If you follow the instructions and tighten by hand, you will have a problem with the metal fitting leaking. This is technically a defect, but it can be corrected very easily.

I don't know about that. We did not have leaking, rather the drainline was constantly getting clogged. We replaced this washer with another brand after 2 1/2 years due to ongoing problem.

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I have not had that issue with multiple batches of crab-apples this fall. You may be waiting too long to collect the juice. If it gets full, it probably would spill over. Also, check it when you wash it to make sure you do not have a faulty pan.

Mine became loose, as well. I carefully removed the gasket, then placed a rubber band on the lid. Lastly, I carefully placed the original gasket on top of the rubber band. It now has a tighter fit than when I first purchased it.

Mine seems to leak at the seam if I put too much in at once. Also, I do run the pulp through again once or twice. The veggies/fruits are too expensive not to try to get more juice out of it.

If I remember correctly it came with an O ring to seal the strainer. I know I didn't use any sealant and I don't have any leaks so far. Also don't tighten it too much as it is plastic, test for leaks afterwards...

My blender is an oldie too, I believe the gasket will fit, it fit mine with no problems with leakage. Happy pureeing.

My blender never leaks and I've had it over 2 years. You probably didn't put the gasket and blade back on correctly. Make sure you put the rubber gasket on the glass jar first, then the blade then screw on the bottom plastic piece. Hope this helps.

You are correct. There is a plastic gasket that comes with it. I find that sometimes it still leaks. The gasket should have been made out of rubber. I still like mine. I use mine for cane syrup.

Hi, I freecycled my Magic Bullet. I did use it once without the gasket; but, I was using dry ingredients. My son tried it when he was mixing some ice cream, milk, and Instant Breakfast. He barely got a chance to start it when he had to stop. The liquid started leaking out.

Mine doesn't leak, maybe put some pipe tape around the threads see if that works

Seems to leak from the water gauge..at the side ...? Unless you are overfillng, then it comes out the overflow hole in the back. Hope this helps.....love the maker itself but the "gauge" has me troubled...Lynn
