Excellent Juicer So Far
I've put this juicer through some heavy use in a couple weeks. I juice 20 or 30 pounds of oranges every week during the harvest season. I've been searching for a solution that can handle fairly heavy use and produce a lot of juice cleanly and efficiently, but that doesn't have the innumerable weaknesses that so many of the other juicers have. This may be that solution. Initial quality is good. It's not a commercial unit, but for a consumer product, it's fine. I purchased the 200W unit, and there is plenty of power. I never feel the device bog down or heat up, and it has no trouble running in steady use for a hour or more. It produces juice quickly, and handles different sizes of fruit with no trouble. I thought I would dislike the spike on the top of the reamer, but it's actually fine. It's fairly easy to switch between the large reamer and the small reamer, but I find it's not really worth even the little effort it takes. The large reamer is fine for all but the smallest fruits, at least with oranges. When juicing lemons, I imagine I'll start with the smaller reamer in place. The drain spout seals well when closed, and doesn't drip when I empty the collection vessel. The built-in strainer allows a very small amount of pulp, and is easy to remove and quickly clean during the process. Overall cleanup is easy, and the device fits neatly under the cabinets on the countertop when the handle is down. I don't use the "press cone" because it doesn't really work that well with different sizes of fruit, and hand pressure does a slightly better job of extracting juice. The cone is easily detachable, so it's no hinderance. I'm hopeful that machine will last, but for the first few weeks, it has performed quite well. I purchased it in February 2024 for USD $67.86.
