Simply Wonderful
By Stephanie L. Zimmerman
I have four fifty foot grapefruit trees in my yard and I needed a juicer that was capable of handling large fruit and a motor powerful enough to handle the job at hand.
I use it so often that I was afraid that it would end up as a permanent fixture on my counter top, but I found it easy to make room for it in the cabinet when I needed the extra space. Its so much easier to clean than the small juicers that I've gone through from Wal-Mart, but the tiny metal lip that controls the flow is delicate and needs some TLC.
It has a good strong motor and its heavy enough to stay in place when the juice is being extracted. I tried the Cuisinart juicer but once you push down on the grapefruit, the grapefruit stays in place but the juicer spun around and blasted juice 360 degrees all around my kitchen!! I returned it immediately and looked long and hard to find this fabulous juicer. It comes with a universal cone so even the smallest lemons or limes can be juiced as w ell as the grapefruit!!

A Good Juicer
By Ron in Portland
I love this juicer. My introduction to citrus juicers was my friend's Phillips brand juicer. It works flawlessly and is easy to clean. Unfortunately Phillips no longer makes it; hence my search for a suitable replacement. This Tribest is an excellent choice. It works well, has a powerful motor and is very easy to clean. I agree with reviewer Zimmerman that the metal lip which directs the juice to your glass feels delicate but it has worked flawlessly. If this juicer has a shortcoming it would be the fact that the screen is not adjustable as some juicers are. Having an adjustable screen allows you to determine how much of the pulp goes into the juice. I like lots of pulp. This juicer screens out a large portion of it. Of course, you can use your fingers and grab some of the pulp out of the screen and drop it in your juice but it would be nice to have an adjustment for that. Despite that, I still give this juicer a top rating.

Does just what it's supposed to do!
By Satch Carlson
I had been apprehensive about buying a juicer, even though I consider it a luxury to start each day with fresh orange juice. You can go crazy and spend a pile o' dough on a machine that basically duplicates the results of old-fashioned hand juicers. But when the woman who runs this zoo bought a giant Juice-O-Rama machine that instantly reduces EVERYTHING to juice---did you know you can make juice out of bell peppers?!---I decided (since the one thing it WON'T do is squeeze the juice out an orange, though I imagine it will reduce the orange, peel and all, down to a liquid---heck, it will probably make juice out of a fireplace log) that perhaps I could afford the luxury of this machine.

Now my morning ritual involves a Zen process of slicing, juicing, and rinsing. Though the instructions say not to put any of the parts in the dishwasher, every once in a while I do throw in the screen, the top bowl, and the cones, and they do not seem any the worse for it. Usually , however, I just rinse the cutting board and then rinse off the cones, the screen, and the bowl, stacking the juicer parts on the cutting board to dry.

Powerful? Just right---although once when I mashed down a little hard, the torque actually moved the juicer an inch or two---which would have been okay except for the fact that it moved the spout away from the glass. Oh, and then there was the time I set everything out, sliced the oranges, and proceeded to juice half an orange all over the counter, having forgotten to place a glass under the spout.

Somehow, however, I decided that this was not a defect in the juicer.

[UPDATE: MAY 1, 2011]
Okay, I just happened to notice that I bought this thing almost exactly two years ago. I haven't used it every single day since then, but have certainly used it most mornings. I think it's now safe to declare its parts top-rack dishwasher safe! And looking at my never-ending life as an American Consumer , I am ready to declare that this juicer has been money well spent. It's still going strong. . . unlike most everything else in this place!
