It’s ok for the price. If you are used to using the cast iron press you may be disappointed with this one, because, well, it’s just not the same. Always make sure to handle with care also, because the metal it’s made of is much softer than traditional presses are made of, so it’ll be much more likely to break after you’ve used it a while if you mash with too much force/pressure.
Good cheap tortillera. Doesn’t flat them per thin as I wish it did and you can tell it’s a little cheaply made but serves the purpose of flattening out the dough to make tortillas or tostones! It’s good for the price

Works Wel. I purchased this press to make smash burgers and it makes them well.I put an 8″d parchment paper on the bottom press plate, put a 2oz ball of 80/20 on the parchment, then another parchment on top of the ball. Squish the ball till it’s 1/8″ thick. Get 8 patties out of 1 lb of 80/20. Then I put the stacked parchments in a zip lock then into the freezer for an hour or so.I heat the frying pan to medium high, pull the parchment off one side of a frozen patty, slap it down into the pan and peel the 2nd parchment off. Because the patties are so thin they can be flipped in about 1 to 1-1/2 mins, then put the cheese on and cook for another 1 to 1-1/2 mins.I have not used this press for tortillas yet but after seeing it’s performance with 80/20 I believe it will work well for flour and water.You can get the 8″ parchments here:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GQZ8Y6F?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsHaving said all of that, there is a minor issue.There are 2 points on the handle and the top press plate where intense pressure and friction occur. The whole press is painted with a thick light gray paint.Where the handle and top press plate meet the paint will quickly wear off and could possibly get in your food. I used a rotary tool with a sanding sleeve and removed all of the paint in those areas. I don’t expect that to be a problem any more.

Calidad y precio. Por el precio es excelente
Very inexpensive. It works as I expected
First Time Tortilla Maker. I’m no expert, but this item moves around on the countertop a bit. I think it’s fine for making a couple of tortillas, but a heavier press would be more efficient for larger batches. There’s also an issue with the finish. It scrapes off when pressing the handle down. That means there’s paint flakes, visible or microscopic somewhere in the vicinity of the dough. Proceed with caution.
Love it! Time saver and does a great job with a variety of types of tortilla dough. I have had mine for a couple of years now and use it monthly to make a few batches of tortillas to freeze ahead. Mine still looks brand new. Works great, easy to use. I have made too many tortillas to count, from corn, to flour, to gluten free, to keto tortillas. I just read the comments where others mentioned making smash burgers. What a great idea! I’ll have to give it a try! I wonder if smashed potatoes would work too?
Works excellent. We have enjoyed it works well
