Customer Reviews

Rated best citrus juicer by America's Test Kitchen / Cook's Illustrated
I learned about the effectiveness of this product on "America's Test Kitchen," and the product review on cooksillustrated.com in an article discussing citrus juicers and reamers. Part of the review is copied here, since it's a subscription site, I can't just link it!

"After testing nine models, I found that the better models have a pointed tip, which effectively pierces the core of the lemon and grabs hold. Without the pointed tip, the lemon slips right off the head. The second important feature is the sharpness of the ridges. Those with sharp, pointed ridges "gripped" the lemon well, making it easy to extract maximum juice with minimum effort, while those with rounded ridges caused the lemon to slide around, making for difficult juicing.

The two winners of our tests were the plastic Oxo Good Grips Citrus Juicer ($11.99) and the Fox Run Wood Lemon Reamer ($2.99). They both juiced lemons quickly and efficiently. The Oxo Citrus Juicer features a unique design with two open, ridged heads (for large and small citrus fruit) and a non-skid bowl for juice collection. The Fox Run reamer has a classic design and an especially comfortable handle."

I have found ATK/CI equipment reviews to be reliable and am ordering it on their recommendation!

Not For The Dishwasher
This juicer has two juicer attachments to juice large fruits, (grapefruits) or small fruits, (lemons and limes). Very easy to use, but not ready for the dishwasher. Very easy to take it apart and hand-wash. The first juicer became warped when we put it in the dishwasher. This purchase was simply a replacement.

Overengineered for Yuppies
Not great for squeezing orange juice. I give it two stars because it's better than squeezing orange sections by hand into a bowl. However, I've used better juicers.
Its faults:
1) The reamer is hollow and has large triangular cuttouts instead of ribs. As a result, it tends to scrape the pulp off the skin and accumulate it inside the reamer instead of actually mashing the juice sacs flat. This wastes juice.
2) The reamer is held loosely in its frame. It pops out when you turn the sieve upside down to dump the pulp into the trash unless you hold it in place with your hand Then you end up with a handful of pulp and seeds.
3) The sieve/reamer assembly is hard to remove from the cup when your hands are wet with, for instance, orange pulp.
4) The sieve/reamer assembly needs a dam to hold back the pulp and seeds when you pour the juice out of the cup.
5) The sieve/reamer assembly leaks if you try to use it directly over a glass instead of using the supplied cup.
