I wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing this. We purchased this because we wanted a non-electric appliance and opened it the day after Thanksgiving looking forward to fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. Even with two people trying to squeeze - one pushing on the top and the other (a strong man, I might add) trying to pull the handle forward, it was impossible to budge. Perhaps this would squeeze a lime without a team of people. The only reason I rate this with two stars is because I love chrome appliances and it is pretty. Perhaps someone who receives it when I donate it to the Goodwill after only one use will enjoy using it to squeeze limes!

I've owned this juicer for over a year. I made a fair amount of orange and lemon juices this summer (I'm in SoCal - when I can raid my friends yards, it's free!) and while it does provide juice which is mostly seed free, it becomes less fun with every use. While I like the Jetson's styling, and the fact that it was a third the price of the next similar non-reaming juicer, I agree that it's a dud, although I didn't find it to be as flimsy as others have. Pretty and cheap does not make up for the annoyances. (Plus, it's too large to be "small" and too expensive to really be "cheap", it's just cheaper than the $150 plus models that were next available.)
- The inability to squeeze even medium large oranges into the cavity is a problem.
- The juice squirting out the sides is a problem. (It also means that everything including the gearing must be completely hosed down with every use. If I just want a quick glass of juice with an orange or two, 2/3 of the prep time is cleaning up.)
- The low, narrow space for a collection vessel is challenging, but I blow glass and have some runty old glasses that fit pretty well. Trying to use a commerical beverage container was unsuccessful if I wanted to collect more than one orange's worth of juice. standard mugs don't fit.
- Also, sometimes the juice just runs up over the side of the funnel base instead of draining especially with larger fruits. If I cut grapefruit into quarters or rings instead, the juice either ran over or squirted out the sides even more.
- I had to take out my fruit, fold it in half, then re-press it to get a reasonable yield. This is annoying but workable. I've since read that one can shim under the strainer with rubber jar seals, but my strainer has been stuck hard to the base since the third use.
- Did I mention how sticky the entire tool and working area get? I'll say it again because it's pretty bad. And cleaning it isn't so much hard as pesky. My water will spot it if I don't wash it, rinse with ammonia water, then dry it. Bleah.
It's hard to think of a product designed to do one thing only that fails on so many levels. Yes, you can get juice out of it but there must be a better, cleaner, faster way that doesn't get in its own way. The only trick is that it's not cheaper and there's only so much money I want to spend on my free orange juice. I've since bought the hand squeeze lemon and lime inverters and use those more often. They're easier to clean. I don't think that's the best solution for the oranges though. I might have to suck it up and buy an expensive juicer though because I do like my fresh squeezed juice.

I was using an old juice king while visiting relatives and it is a great juice squeezer. I thought this would be the same but although the design is identical the function is not. The Metrokane does not have much leverage for squeeze the juice out and large citrus barely fits. I went back to my hand squeezer. The nice thing about the juice king is that you do not get all the pulp. Don't waste your time and money. Lucky Amazon.com has a great return policy so I was able to return mine and credit my card. ai gave it a one star only becasue I had to give is something. The only redeeming is that it looks good.

How disappointing. The problem with this juicer is that it does not squeeze the fruit completely, not even 75% I would say. Like some other reviewers said, it leaves a rim of unsqueezed pulp around the edges of oranges -- it does the same for limes. Even after reading some of the other reviews I had some hope that it would still work for limes, which we use most often. Alas, not. If you still insist on buying one of these lame juicers, I have since found them at Crateandbarrel for 39.95 -- their description touts the "museum-quality design", but tellingly says little about performance. Better to find something else.

I have now owned two of these juicers. Both have broken (the handle gets off-kilter and gradually disassembles itself; the head of the juicer cracks and eventually breaks from the stem). My first one lasted two years so I bought another when that broke. The second one is less than a year old; the head attachment is cracked and ready to break; the handle once again is gradually disintegrating. In addition, the second one is much more shoddy than the first; the 'cup' in the top does not fit cleanly into its seating. I will not buy a third and I strongly advise against purchasing this product.
