The other five halfs juiced perfectly by holding the juicer with one hand and pressing the orange down firmly on the juicer. I am very happy with my purchase and would most certainly recommend this to others. At first, I actually wanted a juicer that contained a tank in which the juice would flow into. Well, I bought Cuisinart CCJ-100 at a local store because the type with the tank was unavailable. The juice was perfect, just the right amount of pulp. I removed the unit from the box, rinsed it off, picked three large oranges off my tree, cut them in half, and juiced them into a two cup mug. It did move a bit on my granite countertop with the first half, no spill onto the counter.
And I will mention I do like the fact that I did not buy a juicer that has a tank, too much to clean, I like simple things. The motor is a high torque motor which is a good thing as other juicers the motor stops when you press down too hard.
I was very concerned. Was very easy to clean, just rince off the strainer and the base and let it dry.
I alos only wanted to spend 25 to 30 dollars on a citrus juicer and wanted to buy one in a store in case I wanted to take it back. Had no problem with the reverse feature.
Reading the negative reviews was a good heads up so I knew how to handle the unit. When I got home, I researched my purchase and found all the negative reviews.
Wow, this little beast has some torque.
It also has so much juice just sitting on the sides that don't even make it to the spout. Also, the spout is so short that you can't even get it to pour into the bowl and goes running down the side. Horrible product. I was so excited to buy this item because it looked so nice and it was compact well looks sure are decieving. When you try to press the fruit down onto the grinder the whole machine goes sliding all around the counter and so the spout misses the bowl and the juice goes everywhere.
This is worst product I've ever bought, it fails at something so simple. Do yourself a favor and go for the Black & Decker or the CitriStar models. This product is bad enough that I am posting a review on an appliance for the first time. It is really is as bad as everyone else has mentioned.
Cuisinart used to make a tiny one. Wish it were smaller. Lemon drops anyone. Powerful, effective, very easy to clean. Love it.
In addition, lack of pitcher = shorter driveshaft + more space for motor = sturdier drivetrain.The fast-spin feature is nifty but doesn't give THAT much more juice. It looked and felt solidly made, and the smooth brushed stainless shape looked good on my counter. it may not be perfect, but I'm not getting rid of this one. It works, but I make sure the surface below is easy to wipe. Plenty of power and a good reamer design - whatever the citrus, this juicer takes it down to the rind without slowing down and gives tasty, pulp-free juice without any bitterness. The night before, my Zinbo juicer had died suddenly and violently. This would eliminate the need to lift and tilt to rescue juice trapped by the flat container bottom.Rummagers, move on. many criticisms leveled by previous reviewers are correct if sometimes overemphasized.
It's perfect for mixed drinks that call for juice of 1/2 lemon + 1/2 orange + 1 lime, etc. I was roaming through the wilderness of a local electronics store, desperately seeking my next margarita. It appears "cord storage" was inserted between feet and outer rim. Lose the storage, move the feet all the way out, and it might not be necessary to manually stabilize the juicer to keep it from walking.3) The reamer does fill up fairly quickly. Here are the changes I'd make:1) The juice spout should be longer.
This juicer is good but it's not perfect. However, the sink sprayer clears reamer and strainer in no time.4) The bottom of the juice container should be shaped like a half-bowl with a deeper channel leading to the spout. It does what I need, and does it well. The jam often appears to be the diabolically-strong part of the fruit just inside the rind. The container traps more than the fast-spin releases. I don't know if this can be readily designed out without sacrificing efficiency. a loud "snap" announced its broken driveshaft.I was looking for a more reliable companion that was enjoyable and easy on the eyes, but prima donnas need not apply.This juicer seemed to fill the bill.
Must use free hand to stabilize the juicer that's moving instead of the glass that isn't.2) The rubber feet should be more widely spaced. From what I've seen, fast-spin + tilting gives an extra 5% at most.Now. For that I respect and adore it.I like the use of a spout rather than a pitcher; single drinks go straight into the glass with less to clean. After fast-spin, lift the juice container and tilt it slightly toward the spout and you'll be rewarded.
