Anyone recommend a good cookie press?

Question

I bought a Deni battery operated cookie press to make Christmas cookies. I like the way it is constructed, I like that you get two dough tubes and 25 dies for different shapes, but the motor is just not powerful enough to squeeze the dough out  through the die. I used the recipe that came in the instruction booklet, so I don't think the recipe is the problem. I'm returning it to the store tomorrow.
I would prefer a manually operated cookie press, but I don't know which one to buy. I want one that is sturdy, has plenty of dies, and is easy to operate. Does anyone have one that they really like?

AAaaahhhhhhh... the ever loving cookie press!  Great idea BUT after trying to use one... you don't think it is so great after all.  

My Mom has this older than dirt one... probably from the 70s it is the only one that I have ever used that works.  However, by 'works' I mean you can make a couple dozen cookies, it's not a fun process nor is it efficient.  But it is the only way that I have been able to find to make these WONDERFUL little Cream Cheese Spritz cookies.  

Last year I tried rolling the dough into tiny balls and 'stamping' it with the bottom of a sugared glass... they tasted great but not so fancy.

I've tried the Wilton cookie press and the store brand Les Gourmet Chef cookie press and no, they both bit the big one.  If you find one that is wonderful... please email me!  Best of luck to you!
