Okay for smaller citrus
By K. Amesbury
Overall impression was that it was of fair quality, but unsuited to my needs. I have a lot of grapefruit to juice, and this is not a good tool for that job. The juicing dome, cup and presser cone were too small for all but the smallest grapefruit. Consequently, using this juicer left about 1/3 of the available juice behind. (I measured the volume the juicer squeezed out - then used a small electric juicer to extract the remaining juice. The first squeeze extracted about a cup. The second juicer extracted about half a cup.) Additional pressure did not help the situation because the part of the fruit with the juice was not getting pressed.

The results were much different with oranges. This press extracted virtually all of the available juice from medium-size oranges. Were I only dealing with small citrus, this press would probably have been quite satisfactory for moderate use.

I would characterize this as a satisfactory juicer for medium-sized oranges, lemons and limes for periodic use. It is not suitable for any but the smallest grapefruit, nor do I believe it would hold up under heavy use, but beyond its shortcomings as a grapefruit juicer, it may be all you need.

Save your money!
By Penny Murray
This unit is only OK. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and every time I use it I think it'll be the last. Meaning, it feels like it'll break every time! It does a fair job at juicing, but it's not very durable. The main housing is already bent out of shape, so it's no longer straight, and the dome no longer aligns with the juicer base. I have to adjust the fruit each time, so the dome will "catch" onto the fruit. I bought it as a quick-fix because I didn't feel like spending a hundred dollars or more. I didn't pay very much for it, and feel like I've already gotten my money's worth out of it. But, if I had to do again, I would just pony up for the more expensive (and presumably better quality) juicer.

Good but could be better.
By Traveling Girl
I purchased this because one of my friends had a similar one made by a different company. This one does pretty well but not as good as my friend's.

Where it is lacking... when you pull the lever down to squeeze the juice, it doesn't always hold the fruit in place and the fruit might slide to the left or right. Then, you need to do it again. No huge thing but just not as user-friendly as the one I had used at my friend's house.

What it does well... it does juice citrus fruits pretty well, separating the seeds from the juice.
