My grandson is making peanut butter and all kinds of oils. He loves it.

We have watched one million YouTube videos. This thing is junk. Sunflower seeds turn to pure rock and jam it up. The lighter always goes out. We tried the soaking trick. It didn't harden up but it also didn't extract oil either. This is for mechanics not normal people.Update: My wife finally got some sunflower seeds oil. It took hard cranking and the seeds can't have too much moisture as one YouTuber suggested you soak them. That's not adviseable. So. It does work but it takes time to figure out exactly what to do. We still haven't figured out how to stop it from totally compacting in the end cap.

great tool, however, it all depends on how you treat the seeds, nuts or pulp of the fruit you will use to extract the oil

I cannot express how happy I am to be actually producing my own oil at home. The Piteba seems, at first, very difficult to use. Don't worry!! It gets better, trust me! I nearly gave up until one day everything clicked. Read the instructions CAREFULLY and make sure to take all of their tips, which are provided with the machine. Patience is key. Be sure to know that at first you will probably make a huge mess in your kitchen, or wherever you are extracting oil. That's fine. Once you get the hang of it, no mess will continue and you will be happily spending your evenings squeezing various nuts and seeds. I recommend using peanuts first and not sunflower seeds, as I did. Enjoy! ¡Viva la Piteba!

I have revised my review to give you guys more details on this crappy product.Pros: NoneCons:1. This item is really too expensive. I bought my manual Remington 18" lawn mower for only $99 in Sear two years ago. It never rusted and it is very durable. This crappy product rusted the first time I used it. You need to clean (using only oil!) it right after using it; otherwise, the cheap cast iron will rust in less than one day. If you hate crappy low end China-made products, you will hate this one even more cause it is way too expensive. At this price, you should expect at least some stainless steel parts, not CHEAP cast iron. BTW, the body is just steel with oil paint (not good!) on the surface.2. It is very small. It takes a long time to produce a significant amount of oil and also a long time to clean up! I just found out that there is another product made in India that is reasonably larger than this one. You definitely need a larger one if you do much oil extraction. It doesn't mean that I will buy that one though.3. You need to create your own plastic container to hold the nuts by cutting out the top part of a plastic bottle. Is this reasonable for an expensive product like this?4. It is difficult to wash. This has something to do with the size of the product. If you press walnut, the walnut will jam very easily. When you try to clean it, it is stuck. Again, it is really time consuming to try to clean it properly. Buy a big press, or not at all.5. It cannot support itself. You need to screw it onto your counter top. Don't do it, cause it will eventually break the counter top cause of the force you need to apply to extract the oil. You should only mount it on some very sturdy bench in your garage.For a price of $150, you can buy a bicycle with an aluminum frame. Think twice before you purchase this item! I should have purchased a multi-function juicer which probably only costs $2XX. It was just a bad decision.BTW, I do a lot of things manually without relying on motors or electricity. I use my manual lawn mower to cut my grass. I grind chicken egg shells using bricks manually before I spread them into my yards. I hand laid the bricks and stones to creates the pavements in my yards. I made my own tofu box to make my own tofu. I make my own wine. It is just not worth my time on this piece of junk. So, I now use my good old garlic press to extract the oil from my walnuts. Heat your walnut to about 120F and put it into your garlic press. The garlic press is much easier to use and to clean up. If you have a lot of nuts, buy a multi-purpose juicer. It doesn't mean I will buy one though.

Piece of cake on the second attempt.Failed miserably on the first attempt because the commercially dried, then toasted, seeds were way too dry. I added 45ml of water to the half kilo bag of seeds(double what the instructions say)and left them in the window for two days...stirred them a couple times a day. This morning I cranked it up again and went through the bag (half a kilo) in about ten minutes....crank turns easy. Initially a few seeds and a couple of drops of oil came out the front expeller holes then it started to flow out of the oil slot. This is great. Going to do more next week.When the first attempt failed I read through the instructions and took a look at the Piteba site. I also watched a couple of the Youtube videos. It was obvious that the crank should not have been as hard to turn as it was on the first try. The results fit the seeds way to dry description.We used Perila Seeds (Korean mint) which are about the size and oil content of sesame seeds. They worked fine. It just takes a little reading and experimenting to get the moisture content right. That seems to be the key to success.And this thing is built like a tank. If you break it you've done something wrong.
