It's only as good as the cheapest link
I bought this juicer in January because my previous one had a removable cone that no longer worked properly. A plastic flange that kept the cone from spinning when pressure was applied to it over the fruit broke off allowing the cone to spin and not juice the fruit. Once that happened, I kept using it by holding the cone from spinning. That defeats the ease of use of the juicer and I eventually found this one with a non-removable cone. I read the reviews about the increased difficulty keeping the inside of the cone clean, but that hasn't been much of a problem. What happened with this one is that the spout broke. The spout is important in that you can flip it up to contain the juice when you wish to stop the juice flow. But the mechanism is flimsy. It consists of two plastic holders for the spout that are extensions of the main juice bowl. The juicer itself, when everything is working, is a good juicer, no better or worse than the other juicers of its type. But just as with the plastic flange on the cone, the entire product is only as good as its weakest link, and it is almost criminal that we pay around $50 for a product that has a built in weak link, something that could be remedied by having a metal flange on the cone or a metal apparatus to make it much more difficult for the spout to break. The spout still fits in its position and is held in place by the juice bowl and does point down, so I can use it and manually hold it up when I need to stop the juice flow. But eventually I will tire of doing that and now I know that if I should buy another juicer of this type, it also will have a limited shelf life. My point is that it should not have a limited shelf life based on something that could be remedied in manufacture to make a product that lasts. I would be happy to pay more for a product like that. I am also very aware that the Breville juicer, which costs 4 times this one, has plastic parts that break similarly. To the manufacturers: please make a product with integrity. At this point, I'm going to look for something with parts that will last. I'd rather work harder at making juice with a product that is made well than to continue to buy $50 juicers that have simple parts that break way too soon. One star for lack of integrity.

Excellent company; Good juicer with one defect
requires minimal pressure To squeeze. Does grapefruits and lemons Quite well. I like that the spout closes to contain the juice or Pour it out. The juicer works great, until it doesn't. The poor design of the spout causes it to break off quite easily, as I have had a few replacements. It's too bad they don't just supply that part, as I've read other reviews with the same issue. HOWEVER, the company, PERFECT KITCHEN is EXCELLENT in customer service. They communicate well, and replaced the problem more than one time. I recommend the company, and the juicer is good if you try to be careful with the spout, if that's possible because without it, the juicer is non functional. Repeat: the company DOES take responsibility.

Great Choice
The juice maker is well installed when opening, I found there are 4 small sucker on the bottem, which makes it stand steady when the machine is rotating. Juice are extracted completely with no dregs in, the dregs are easily to be removed and wahsed.I used it for oranges, it will also be good for lemon. What a perfect option!

Wimpy!
This juicer has some good features, like suction cups on the base to hold it steady, easy to clean, easy to use, attractive appearance. However, the motor inside is wimpy! Our reason for buying an electric juicer was to juice more than a few lemons. Otherwise a manual juicer would be sufficient. After juicing a half dozen lemons, which meant operating for only a few minutes, the motor turned off and needed to rest for 30 minutes before juicing could resume. Imagine buying a shiny new and comfortable car, but then learning you can only drive it one mile before the motor shuts off and it needs to rest for a half hour. This juicer, like the car is not suitable for the job it is intended to do. A return was started immediately.

This is the second one I bought.
We have a larger juicer at home, and wanted to get a smaller one for daily use. This juicer came on time, and does its job relatively well. It comes with an adapter for juicing lemons as well. The juicer is easy to clean, easy to remove and overall serves its purpose.

this is junk
Knock off from a far better design, this version is total junk. The cup lid to hold the orange/lemon is not removable for cleaning, when in open position it drips on the outside of the machine on the electric cable, the nipple of the cone to hold the half orange/lemon is in friction with the cup lid, the stainless steel recipient can barely be grabbed to clean... In short this is junk. I used a similar orange press in the UK that was fantastic, so I ordered this one for use at home in the US. Upon my return 4 months later I discover this is total junk, designed by obviously incompetent people.

Easy to use
This is great. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because of its bulk and especially because its hard to clean the what I call the ‘cap’ of the machine, the part that comes down over the exterior of the fruit. Skin pieces of the fruit get caught on the ridges of the cap, and you can’t remove the cap to clean it. I have to use a toothbrush to get it clean. I suspect this is true for similar machines—but a buyer could look to see if the ‘cap’ comes off for cleaning.
