I was honestly impressed with this juicer. It took me less than 5 minutes to juice 10 lemons, which would’ve taken me forever with a handheld juicer. The juice yield was incredible—I filled the entire juice container with just 10 lemons, and it ended up making about two pitchers of lemonade. I definitely wasn’t expecting that much juice!A couple things to know before buying:* The juice isn’t pulp-free. If you like perfectly smooth juice, I’d recommend picking up a fine mesh strainer. The product is marketed as having an adjustable pulp filter, but mine wasn’t actually adjustable. Because of that, a few seeds and small bits of pulp made it through. I poured the juice through a fine mesh strainer, picked out the few seeds that were left behind, then rinsed the pulp with a little water to get any remaining juice through the strainer before adding the pulp back into my lemonade. It worked out great.* The rotating feature that activates when you release and press down again doesn’t work consistently. It only rotated about 3–4 times while juicing all 10 lemons.* Noise-wise, it’s somewhere in the middle. It’s definitely not as loud as a blender, but it’s not whisper quiet like a microwave either. I’d say it’s a comfortable in-between and wasn’t bothersome at all.* The description mentioned it came with a storage lid, but mine didn’t include one. I actually would’ve liked to try juicing with the lid on to see if it caught any spray. Even without it, cleanup wasn’t bad at all. There were only a few tiny specks of juice that escaped from each lemon, and I didn’t end up with juice splattered all over the counter around the machine, which was a pleasant surprise.Cleaning was surprisingly easy, especially the nozzle. Since I’ve only used it once, I can’t really comment on long-term durability yet. It did seem to glitch a little at first, but halfway through I took everything apart to clean the strainer and found quite a few lemon seeds underneath the rotating reamer. After removing them, it seemed to work better, so the seeds may have been causing the occasional glitching rather than it being an issue with the motor itself. Time will tell how it holds up over the long run.One small thing I noticed was a tiny amount of juice dripped out when I removed the juice container from the base to pour it. It wasn’t much at all and may have just been juice sitting around the center drive mechanism rather than an actual leak.One tip that could save you from making a huge mess: don’t judge the fill level by looking at the outside of the juice container. The center post where the reamer attaches extends about 3–4 inches down into the juice container, so the juice level in the middle is much higher than it appears from the outside. Fill based on where that center post ends, not the outside rim of the container. Luckily, I stopped halfway through to empty and clean the strainer, so I noticed this before overfilling it.It was also incredibly easy to use. There aren’t any exposed blades, and the operation is simple enough that I could honestly see a child being able to use it. I also found that the best technique was to hold the lemon with your whole hand and gently squeeze around the edges instead of pushing down hard right away. That gave me the best juice extraction while keeping those tiny juice specks to a minimum.Overall, this juicer did exactly what it was designed to do. The juice came out incredibly fresh, pure, and wonderfully tart, and it extracted far more juice than I expected. Those lemons were squeezed down to a pulp… no pun intended! 🍋
