FINALLY! I have wanted one of these devices for about a year after seeing one on a commercial (not for the product, but for a pharma advertisement, lol, the things we notice in the weirdest places). Well, I finally had to buy one as we are juicing so many lemons and now oranges and the electronic juicer that I purchased was just not getting all of the juice out of the fruit. Enter Zulay Kitchen. After viewing many juicers and reading 100's of reviews, I settled on Zulay and am very happy that I did. I will start by saying that this juicer is high quality and very strong as well as very well made. Keep in mind, this is not for the weak or may not be great for people with joint problems or pain in their wrists. It takes a little strength for it to be totally effective. I think people with joint issues or pain can still use it because it works so well and they can use their body weight as leverage to help push the plunger down. I use pressure to keep it against the back splash on my counter and that helps with the leverage of pushing the plunger down. Ideally, a crafty person, such as myself, will eventually find a way to mount this so it remains completely stationary, but that will come at a later time. So, that all being said, now let's discuss results. The results are the fact that this juicer get every bit of the juice out of the fruit. 3 oranges gave me 2 - 8oz cups of juice and it took six in the electronic juicer for the same amount (results are not guaranteed, keeping in mind that some oranges are just not as juicy as others and also, be mindful of the fruit size that you intend to juice). The electronic juicer I am speaking of is one that turns when you push the fruit down on it. I think it wastes juice by not pulverizing the pulp. So, I've done lemons, oranges and grapefruits and each time, it worked flawlessly. It cleans up very easily and looks kinda cool on your counter top. Mine is black and and stainless steel and looks great with the gray granite. As you can see in the picture, I have strainers to filter the pulp because this works so well. If you don't like pulp, get these screens to keep near by, they work great to remove the pulp. Also, it cleans up very very easily. Last but not least, a Pyrex 2 cup measuring cup fit perfectly under to catch the juice. I would recommend purchasing this product.

Fantastic product! Well made heavy duty construction. The lever mechanism makes easy work of large tasks. Low fatigue. Does a really great job at juicing pomegranates. We have a small pomegranate orchard and make pomegranate jelly. Pomegranates are very labor intensive to harvest, prep and juice. This juicer made the juicing portion of the job much easier. I chose the copper colored juicer. It has a nice rustic antique look to it. The construction and weight help it to stay put on the counter. The lever action is so smooth and easy, it didn't take much muscle to juice a pomegranate. It gives you a lot of power behind your own muscle strength... It actually requires very little muscle strength to use it. It also is not a noisy machine. It moves effortlessly, smoothly and quietly up and down. Never even broke a sweat on the massive amounts of pomegranates that we had to juice. I had bought a juicer years ago and it wasn't very easy to use. I decided to buy a second one to get some help from the family with the juicing process. Turns out the old juicer was such a pain we scrapped it all together. This one juicer worked faster than trying to have two people using one bad juicer and this awesome new one. We ended up just using it with one person loading and squishing the pomegranates and the other one dumping the pomegranates out in a bucket for the chickens to enjoy. I'm probably going to purchase another one for next year. That will really be time saving!

I bought this juicer because I was tired of dealing with the deficiencies of my old juicer - a 1950's era Juice King. The Zulay extracted every drop of juice with very little exertion required. The comfortable handle allowed me to squeeze dozens of oranges without causing soreness in my hand. And the relatively deep cup of the Zulay retains all of the juice that sprays out sideways when pressure is applied. The increase in yield I experienced was a pleasant surprise. I was able to get 22 quarts of OJ with the same amount of oranges that had yielded 16 quarts when using the Juice King.I also like the heavy weight (for stability) and the sturdy construction (for performance and longevity). For a juicer that does such a great job and should last forever, a $70 price tag is an excellent value.
