Best of breed and lovely too
By Cutedeedle
There may not be a perfect juicer for everyone, but this is the best I've owned, thus my rating. I've been on a quest for the past year, buying and then giving away various juicers and juicing attachments. I was about to give up and resign myself to keep purchasing some very good organic orange juice at our local store, but at $8.00 for a half-gallon, well, egads! So then I spotted this beauty. Wow, it shines, it has substance, it can be lifted up away from the corded base (and even stored in the fridge if you care to), and it's very simple to use and easy to clean. What more could you want?

The description about the appliance is accurate -- it has a base with cord that can stay put, you do your juicing, and you can then use the container to serve and pour, or put the little hard plastic cover on top to then store it in your refrigerator. To start juicing you just press -- it starts with that action, and will stop when you lift the citrus off the rotating cone. I've only done oranges but limes would be fine too. I don't know about grapefruit unless they're somewhat small -- there is only one juicing cone, one size is supposed to fit all. Sometimes the cone does reverse, sometimes it doesn't. I couldn't figure out what made it reverse but in the long run, that really made no difference in juicing.

Unlike some other juicers I've tried when the basket becomes too full of pulp, this one lifts out easily to be rinsed out and put back in use for continued juicing. The juice cone even has these little "paddles" that kind of stir the pulp around the basket while it's juicing/rotating, to make sure as much juice as possible drips into the container. Now that's clever and practical.

I bought several cases of Valencia oranges and the container can hold about half of one case worth of orange juice. If you want to do more than that, pour it into a beverage container or pitcher and keep going! I did, although juice is best when it's served that day. Just a little hint, although your fresh juice will be so delicious I bet it won't last much longer than a day.

Cleanup is a snap -- everything comes apart (and fits back in) quickly and easily, washes by hand quite nicely, but the instruction book implies you shouldn't put any of the parts in the dishwasher. You definitely wouldn't want to put the chrome/stainless/wood container in there because the underside shouldn't be immersed and the harsh dishwasher soap would ruin the "wood" look.

The one thing I didn't find terribly helpful was the area underneath the base to wind the cord before I put it all away. It was a bit of a struggle to wind it tightly, the end of the cord stuck out anyway, and then I had to undo all that the next time I used the juicer. So that winding/rewinding really was unnecessary. If you have more of these Krups chrome/stainless/wood appliances that you leave on your counter, hiding the cord would be a n on-issue anyway. No points deducted for that.

Beautiful design and materials, top quality, easy to use and clean. Really, it is the best juicer out of a field of mediocre selections. I'm expecting this beauty to last years, not weeks like my others.

Best juicer so far
By kitty mama
I bought this juicer for the winter citrus season after giving up on a couple of other brand name, but decidedly inferior ones. I mostly juice oranges, but throw in the occasional lemon, lime, tangelo or grapefruit that has been hanging around too long. The reamer cone handles them all well, and I find it easy to use as a not-tall person. The juice is nicely pulpy, but for those who dislike pulp, that could be a problem. It is easy to clean and store, quiet, and gets the job done for 7 days a week of juice and seems to be holding up well. My one quibble is the stainless steel carafe, which looks swell, but you really have no idea how much juice you have made until you disassemble the cone and basket. A see-thru strip on the side would be helpful to know if it is near full.

Not a great product
By Frank X. Francisco
There are several problems with this juicer. First, to put the cord inside the cord holder is awkward and tedious and not a good fit. Second, I'm disappointed in the juicer cone. It is a thin plastic and will not hold up for 10 years (this replaced an obsolete Krups juicer with a good solid cone, and actually made in Germany, this one is made in China, and lasted 30 years until the bottom of the cone base broke and could not be replaced). The body is solid and sturdy. The cover is a thin plastic, a more hardy cover would have been better.
Second, juicing a grapefruit is a problem (or even a large orange) because the strainer is only slightly recessed and you may find your fingers getting into the pulp.
Third, you need to pick up the juicer with both hands, if you want to include the base, since picking it up by the handle will only pick up the container. A simple locking mechanism would have been better thought out.
Fourth, for a product made in China , and for the feature problems I described, this juicer is somewhat on the expensive side compared to comparible juicers.
Fifth, there are four tiny rubber slivers on the base bottom to keep the juicer from moving. I don't give these a long time before wearing out.
