5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent juicer, providing you are strong enough!
This is an entirely manual juicer, so you need to be strong enough to pull down the handle, which takes a surprising amount of effort for the oranges I used. But that isn't a fault with the product, just the strength needed to juice oranges. Similarly, you require quite a lot of oranges: I need 3 or 4 to make a small glass of juice, so once sliced in half, you are looking at 6 to 8 pulls on the handle. Larger juicing oranges probably take less effort; I found a large juicy red grapefruit only needed the two halves to make a small glass.When pulling down the handle, you need to place your other hand on the top of the juicer to counterbalance and hold it steady, otherwise you might pull it over from pressing so hard. It has rubber feet which help keep it stable, but it still needs a little bit of support. I find the feet leave smudges on my worktop, although they wipe off. Some people have said that the handle risks falling down when raised and trapping your fingers, but I haven't encountered that. The top press position is adjustable using the allen key supplied, although I found it was already in the ideal position.The device itself is very solid, cast metal, and the juicing cones feel good quality and strong. You do need to wash the cones immediately after use, as otherwise the acidic juice discolours them, and bits of dried orange go sticky and harder to remove. You can't remove the top press itself to wash it, so I use a piece of kitchen roll to wipe it down.Overall a good quality item, and it looks fantastic if you buy the bright orange one like I did. It would look good in a kitchen just as an item of decoration aside from using it to juice oranges.
5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC JUICER!
I don't usually bother writing reviews for everything I buy, but I spent ages picking this juicer and have to say it is exceptional. I chose it primarily because it is simple stainless steel and cast iron (so no aluminium parts), and the handle seemed to lean further back than most (a point I noted after reading about one lady nearly having her finger cut off when the handle on her make of juicer was knocked forward!). The juicer is heavy and therefore sturdy and extremely easy to use (my 7 year old can work it). There are no sharp edges on the juicing parts and it is a simple matter to separate the two pieces for washing after use. I usually keep a tea strainer on the cup or glass when I'm juicing to catch any lumps because sometimes pith gets through the strainer holes due to the power of the juicer, but I've found this very much depends on the oranges I'm using. Can't recommend it highly enough.
4.0 out of 5 stars Not cheap but really effective
If you've room in your kitchen this solidly built workhorse is worth considering. On tougher fruit it excels - pomegranate particularly good. Grapefruit pretty good, thinner skin oranges will split but still juice very well....don't expect to use it on kiwi fruit obviously. Most effective result on tough skinned fruit so if you're zesting organic lemons, juice them first.Easy to clean, substantial and a time saver.
5.0 out of 5 stars Robust
Chose the Orange coloured version - great colour (note it's a little softer in colour than the bright citrus colour in the main pictures)Quality - really good quality - heavy and robust - feels like it's built to last, handle has rubber cover to give maximum gripSize - nice size not too big and not too small - just right for my kitchen.Price - really good price for the qualityContents and packaging - came in a plane brown box with polystyrene inner, warning/instruction and Allan keys to tighten any screws - very well packaged
5.0 out of 5 stars Really good juicer!
We bought this after a holiday in Sicily where we purchased juice daily from a stall - the seller used the juicer to hand press the fruit!You need to have a bit of strength to use it but we have found it to be a really good buy!
3.0 out of 5 stars Great machine but wastes too much fruit!
I am reluctantly returning this because although I find its simplicity and heavy duty style very appealing, I just feel that it wastes too much fruit! The leftover orange halves (see image) feel like they still have weight and also look as though you could get rather more from them. It's a real shame because I love this thing otherwise! The press is soo satisfying to operate and has a really good overall feel to it, for example the big rubber grip which covers the press handle is particularly pleasing. The stainless steel insert feels rather lightweight compared to the sturdiness of the machine itself, however it does its job no problem. You are somewhat restricted in terms of what vessel you can place underneath to catch the juice; it can't be too tall or wide. I used a 0.5 l Pyrex jug. I will also mention that unless you don't mind quite large chunks in your drink, you may want to use a sieve.
5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and it works
I am impressed! This is the simplest of devices, just a mechanical press, but it works very well. It's easy to keep clean and it should last a lifetime.I've read reviews that say that the lever can fall down and hurt your hand. I don't understand that! At its top position the lever is slightly angled backwards so it could only fall forward if it is pushed forward. You'd need to be very clumsy!
1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Worked so well for a few days !!
Parfait!
Répond totalement à mes attentes. Très solide et facile à laver
Love it. Keep fingers clear.
I'm a fairly intelligent person with lots of life experience. I still got my finger caught in this thing. When you read the reviews about the handle not staying up, believe them, test it out, maybe put a hot-dog in the juicer and "accidentally" bump the handle so it falls down and you can see the result. Whatever you have to do to avoid the brainless accident I caused myself even though I knew it could happen. Luckily it was just bandage worthy and didn't require any trips to the ER.Having said that, I still love this thing. I love making margaritas with fresh lime juice and used to use a hand juicer. By the time I had enough juice, I didn't have the hand strength left to actually make the drinks. With this thing, not only is it fast and easy, it actually gets more juice out of each lime so I don't have to use as many. I'll do a bag of limes in the morning, easy peasy, and put the juice in the fridge for drink time.Cleaning is really easy. The bits that get juicy just pop out of the stand and can be washed separately. I tend to get a little juice spray on the stand so I'll just give it a quick rinse and wipe off with a towel. It's very sturdy and will probably be around for my grandchildren to make margaritas, if I ever have any and if there is still citrus that far in the future.It's really big. Plan for some cupboard or counter space for this thing. It's not ugly so if you're someone who is allowed to keep things on your counter, I'm not, you could just keep it on display and ready for the next party.Apparently it also juices oranges and grapefruit and such, but who knows.

Es buenísimo!!! Se exprime sin mucho esfuerzo y es fácil de usar y de lavar
Great juicer!
My box were damaged when it arrived and i had some missing screws but i found them easily and it’s working great so far. Smashes the citrus perfectly with no effort, easy to clean. That juicer is solid and strong, don’t let the handle fall back on tour face, be sure that the kids are supervised so they don’t break their tiny fingers.
sturdy, 100% squeeze, super easy to use
I'm using this to squeeze lemons and limes for now. This thing is rock solid. The long lever provides great leverage/power. Aesthetically pleasing. No instructions but none needed; arrived with a plastic and metal washers, and small screw needing attachment to 1 joint; 2 Allen wrenches also included. My unit has rubber feet on the bottom and combining it with its weight, it moves nowhere when using. The price is a good value. All of the juice is squeeze out from the limes/lemons! Very happy with this product.
