DASH Citrus Juicer Dual Citrus Cones 20 fl oz Capacity 25 Watts

My first juicer I’ve had going on two years. Works great very powerful and no issues at all. Easy to operate and easy to clean. Because of this, I ordered one for my niece who loves to make homemade lemonade. Would recommend this juicer to anyone interested in making lemonade or fresh orange juice. A greater time saver as well. Read more

I bought this because it was recommended by America's Test Kitchen. I was not disappointed! It's a cute little machine which I would be happy to keep out on my counter top if I had the space for it. Small footprint and it has a cover to keep any kitchen grime from settling on it if you don't use it often. The color is a pleasing mint green, just as I expected from the photographs. I juiced 5 lbs. of lemons (I'm guessing around 20-25 lemons?) in about 5 minutes. I was very pleased with the efficiency of extraction, if you twist the fruit around as you push down, this will get pretty much all the pulp. I will say you have to be careful when you're removing the cone and filter tray part, if you fumble it, you'll get pulp and seeds dumped into your juice. I'd also recommend rinsing the filter tray between batches, after emptying out the carafe. I didn't at first, and it got real messy up in there with all the pulp and seeds. All in all quite easy to take apart and wash by hand, though the filter/seed tray was a little bit tricky to figure out at first. If this thing breaks, I can see it being one of the clips that holds the two pieces together that goes first. I think if you take care to unclip the bottom before just pulling it apart, it will save wear & tear. You will definitely want to take that apart before cleaning it, a lot of pulp gets stuck in between the two layers. According to the description on the listing you can put all the non-mechanical parts in the dishwasher. I might on the top shelf if I really couldn't be arsed to wash it by hand, but it isn't that difficult. Then again I am lazy, so... I've only used it once so far, so I can't speak to its longevity (although ATK tests stuff pretty rigorously and they gave this one good marks for durability). It does feel like a pretty solid little machine. Stays put while you use it, and is easy to wipe down once taken apart. I pressed down pretty firmly on my lemons and squeezed in at the sides to scrape out all the pulp, and it didn't affect the sound or speed of the motor at all. I was genuinely shocked by the low cost of this juicer. When I saw that the top rated juicer from ATK was almost $200 I figured they'd have chosen a higher-cost model with bells and whistles as their next best. When I saw it was only $20, and highly rated across all categories I did not hesitate. I have paid twice that in the past for juicers that ended up being way harder to clean and much more wasteful than this one. Based upon my one use of this juicer, and considering its high rating from a website I trust, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a high-quality juicer, and you sure can't beat the price.

This saves lots of time when juicing at least 2 lemons or limes. It was well worth the price. The motor is a little loud but no more so than any other electric juicer or extract I’ve ever used. I like the dual sized juicer cores for smaller limes. Fresh orange juice is no problem. The white color is clean looking. Read more

I used this juicer to make the best glass of juice I have ever had using fresh oranges and grapefruit. I am so used to store bought juice that I didn't know how good fresh juice could taste. I only have one complaint, and that is cleaning the strainer part of the juicer. There are two parts that snap together and you can adjust the holes to allow pulp or have "pulpless" juice. It is hard for me to get the pieces apart to clean them. You have to press in three tabs and pull apart the pieces and that is hard for me with smaller hands. My husband has no trouble, but I do. Otherwise, I am happy with my purchase. I guess I will have to develop stronger hands! Update on review. It is now February 2023. Today I used my juicer for a lemon. Worked well to extract all of the juice from the lemon, but when it is time to clean the part that keeps the pulp out of the juice, I swear who ever designed this must have hated the world that day. It is impossible to get the two pieces apart if you are a woman, especially of a "certain age" If it weren't for my husband, this would never get thoroughly cleaned. Beyond frustrated with the design. Read more

I've been using this juicer for a couple of weeks now to make limeade from the hundreds of limes my tree produces this time of year and it works very well for me. Some reviewers complained that their juicers quickly broke but I think it might be from pressing down too hard when juicing. This juicer is almost completely made from mid- to low-grade plastic and I can easily see how a person could break the motor or drive shafts by pressing down the fruit too hard and snapping something. I believe that if you are gentle with this juicer it will last for awhile. It's much easier than squeezing by hand and is a decent value for the price. Read more

I used to use an inherited glass hand reamer but often had a reamer imprint left in my palm after juicing more than 2 oranges! Then I tried those brightly colored hand squeeze juicers but often the fruit didn’t fit or I could see areas left “unjuiced”. Time for an upgrade. This juicer was an ATK Best Buy and it certainly is!! Easy to use and clean, has 2 reaming heads, adjustable pulp screens, marked measurements on the carafe and extracts every bit of juice. Not noisy and comes in a pretty bright yellow, a retro green and white. All this at an unbelievably reasonable price. Read more
