Amazon.com Review
Start your morning off right with a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. It's got more vitamin C than processed juice, and it just tastes better. The Mighty OJ citrus juicer in retro 1950s chrome puts 800 pounds of pressure to use making sweeter juice than electric juicers. Put your glass under the juicer, place half an orange on the raised cone, hold the juicer foot for leverage, and press the handle down. Just remember that it takes quite a few oranges to get a substantial amount of juice, so buy a bag. You can also use it to squeeze lemons, limes, and grapefruit. To clean the cone and funnel parts, lift them out of the juicer and rinse under the faucet. Lifetime warranty on moving parts. --Doree Armstrong

Customer Reviews

No problems
I have had this juicer for a year now, and have not experienced any of the problems noted in the other reviews. We may use it 4 times a week for several weeks, or only on weekends for a month. It looks good, is sturdy, and is easy to clean. Place the orange or whatever in the holder, slowly press down on the paddle style handle, and its juice galore. For larger fruits or bigger oranges, lift the handle up, reposition the fruit carcass a little, one more squeeze and Bobs-your-uncle. We like the machine just fine.

Looks great! Works ... O.K.
If you're looking for an orange juicer that will look great on your cabinet, then this might be the one. But if you're looking for a juicer that's user friendly and efficient, you might want to look somewhere else (like Metrokane's Chef's Juicer). When I bought the Mighty OJ, I noticed problems right off the bat. In the first place, it's hard to get an orange in this thing. There's barely enough clearance. So, if the orange is big, you have to sort of wedge it into the juicer. Then, the handle is short, so it's hard to get a good grip on it. If you don't hold down the left side of the juicer, it'll tip over when you press the lever down and spill juice everywhere. Also, with large oranges, this juicer won't remove all the juice. It will leave a ring of the juicy part of the orange just inside the peel. If you make orange juice once a week, these things might not bother you. If you make juice every day, they could be pretty annoying.

Big Mess, Wasted Fruit, Smashed Fingers, but the BEST JUICE!
I bought one of these to see if it really was better than the super cheapo electric juicer I've been using for about three months. (It's one with the spinning squeezie cone...) The first time I tried the Mighty OJ, I didn't think to hold on to the machine, and it slipped, spilling OJ and peel bits everywhere, while falling on my hand, bruising up my fingers pretty badly.

OK... my fault. I tried again... and found that it just really doesn't handle normal sized oranges (about a big as a child's fist) very well. For something bigger than a lemon, it only squeezes the middle, and leaves a ring of unsquashed, messy orange on the outside. BUT, you can see that where it does squeeze the orange, it gets EVERY little bit of juice out! So... after mutilating about four oranges, and throwing about a third of each in the trash, I took a sip.

It's really the best dang juice I ever tasted. I was amazed at how much better the juice tasted than the juice I squeezed out of the same batch of oranges with my electric doodad.

So... I guess I'll buy little dinky oranges from now on... :)
