Elite Gourmet ETS623 BPA-Free Electric Citrus Juicer, Compact, Large Volume, Pulp Control, Oranges, Lemons, Limes, Grapefruits with Easy Pour Spout, 24oz, Black/Stainless Steel

Woooooooooooooooooooh!I am just mesmerized!I love natural and healthy things and I could not find the ideal option out there so I stick to using glass manual hand squeezer one which is truly so much work to make one glass of juice that I often skipped the idea thinking of all the labor ahead.I was considering getting some manual/mechanical squeezer but the idea that the juice will have to travel through the metals of all sorts be it staginess or aluminum kind of puts me off and while plastic is not an ideal thing from health point perspective I somehow tend to think that very brief contact of the very acidic after all substance that orange juice is will have much less reactive power and chance to pick up stuff from this brief plastic situation then from alsorather reactive metals. Even most lovely of the stainless steel contain all kinds of necessary additives t hat makeit what it is, there is for sure chrome, nickel and some such additives that tend to be much quicker to react then the somewhat sleepy plastic.Anyway.. my first reaction is - this machine is absolutely amazing and I wish I got it earlier.Because.. I still can use my glass one when I feel more noble, but when I feel more lazy and need to get things done fast this will be the go to juicer.SPEED - it is fast, I mean I have ZERO experience with any other electric juicer out there but I find this speed manageable and fast enough to do job done without throwing anything at the walls.EFFECTIVNESS - TEN STARS ! - this thing get all the stuff from the inside of the half orange and leaves you with the bare pill inside, it just takes it all out.MANUAL FORCE - I was really afraid how it will work with nice soft ripen oranges that are easy to fall apart if you put force on it while squeezing but somehow it is super friendly in this area and the drilling force is gentle but consistent and very self assured and does what it supposed to be doing without transferring the force to the shell and breaking it.JUICE - I got so much more juice with this then with hand glass one and I don't know how it is even possible but it is really is super effective to get the EVERY last drop of juice from your orange.PULP- for some reason I don't see pulp so it must be pulverized in the process so it is there but I don't see it I love pulp either way as this is fiber and good one to that so ha! it is there for sure because it did not go anywhere else since it is not in the orange shell but again.. not visible in the juice per se.EASINESS - I think you can not possibly design easier machine, i was concerned at first when I saw it does not have any cover as you juice you use your hand and that is actually a plus, that way you can work on any size of fruit as I suppose a one size of plastic cover would limit the sizing and make smaller or bigger fruit with random amount of pulpishness and juice on the peel.You just wash it when it comes, plug it and you are good to go! truly no funny parts, the three elements there are you can see and they are the collecting jug, the strainer inside and the drilling part. nothing is screwed it is all put onso to take it apart you just lift t hose elements so a plus for time and efforts ..FUN FACTOR - huuuuuuuuuuuuuge! I got hooked after the first orange! the thing is that at this point in my life I can not for all reasons in the world find time to take pottery class but I love the work.. and this thing is just next best thing to the pottery wheel as you have the feel of this thing working and as you guide your FRUIT through the drill you feel a good relaxing energy coming out from the whole process so this became a juicing therapy if you need it when you need it.PRICE - love it, I truly appreciate low priced items that do their job. The Gourmet Elite has a tendency to make good items for reasonable price. I own their white kettle hot water pot that I am using for years and it is elegant and works great so that made me to look into this puppy. I am glad I did.It is very simple machine and frankly in the whole world of the orange or citruc juicing universe I think itis entirely enough. I know there are tons out there to pick from but I don't see any reason of spending big bucks on something that does exactly the same thing.I highly recommend you to get this one as a starting point and at least to see if you like the process and I am sure you will find it good enough. I did. If not you can always upgrade to the high end models that will do the same buttruly this is a great place to start.

Surprisingly, great little juicer. I wasn't sure what I would get based on the simplicity of this juicer and the inexpensive price but am pleasantly surprised.I juice tons of lemons every week or two to make lemon ginger juice.I had been using other electric juicers ( masticating, cold press types) but never found those to be great for juicing citrus fruits, such as lemons/oranges. Those juicers would always build up too much pulp in the machine that I would have to keep emptying before continuing with juicing. It was a pain and caused me more work.I then went back to just slicing the lemons and using a manual hand juicer to squeeze them. Well, this became a major problem due to the strain it caused on my hands.Saw this juicer which had a decent price and good reviews so I decided to try it. Really glad I did!It's operation is so simple yet very effective. I sliced up my lemons. I put one on the rotator cone. With only slight pressure to press down, it really guts my lemon. The machine actually rotates both clockwise and counterclockwise, which really helps to ensure the inside of fruit is thoroughly scraped.I'm so happy not to have to peel, cut up and de-seed my lemons before juicing them. This juicer collects seeds and minimal pulp on the strainer basket that easily lifts off.With the (large) pitcher design, it's easy to pour my juice into another container. I just use a strainer to remove any additional pulp from the juice that I don't want.Based on the fact that you do need your hand to guide the lemon on the cone, I think the power level is sufficient and definitely gets the job done.I really wish that I've had this sooner… Would've saved a me lot of time and effort.I definitely recommend this.

Very surprised at this machine's ability!! I thought for the money MAYBE it will be halfway decent. When I pulled it out of the box I thought 1 star. I was wrong. It worked beautifully. Now, I have only ran it once and I juiced a bag of lemons. You just take half a lemon, gently apply pressure to the cone and it swiftly juices it leaving the seeds in the catch basin and your juice on the bottom. No mess! Much easier than pressing by hand. Even if you only use it periodically (I only juice lemons) This is worth it!!

Very cute. Does just what it’s supposed to - juices oranges quickly and with no fuss. Has an auto-reverse on motor so the squeezer reaches all the juice in the orange, though sometimes it didn’t engage. Either way, for the price it’s great. Very light, no idea how long it will last, but for now, it does everything it’s supposed to.

Tried this brand because previous one from another brand with the spout kept making mess. Also wasn’t looking for high priced item since we only use it once a week or less. This was better than expected. Easy to use since it just needs some pressure to hold the fruits down while juicing, but quite powerful for this price range to get most of the juice out. We never experienced the product heating up. Normal noise level for a small appliance. Using it to get juices out of leftover citrus fruits and freezing juices in ice cube trays for later. As far as the durability goes, I usually handwash items like this after use, so not sure how it would withstand the dish washer.

I waffled back and forth between this juicer, a model by Cuisinart, and one other. Ended up going with this one due to the attachment for larger fruit (use it all the time) and because it has a 40w motor, while others seemed to hover between 25-30w. This unit is a solid purchase - the amount of juice I get from two oranges vs my old manual juicer is night and day. I was wasting so much juice before this! Very happy.
