Sure does! Just don't try and grind it too much, the machine will actually take some of the fruit skin with it.

Yes, it gets the juice to the rind. But pulp management is messy and time consuming if you want any pulp in your juice. If you're not a pulp fan, this isn't an issue.

Smells like chemicals. I love grapefruits, and it definitely doesn't smell like them. If you have a sensitive nose, beware. Also, the scent sticks to you.

Did not have any luck - tried many different ways was unbalanced - would work well with citrus, I returned the unit. Have two pomegranate bushes and returned to juicing with the skin removed.

Yes but it will prob only hold juice from one grapefruit. You'll just have to empty and squeeze each as you go.

Yes it works very well with frozen fruit I make at least 3-4 frozen fruit smoothies a week.. Love this machine!

Yes, I bought this specifically for pealing citrus fruit for cocktails. Works well on grapefruit, oranges lemons and limes. Depending on how much pressure you apply, it will or will not leave the white part of the rind behind.

I would consider these spoons to be thick and blunt. We use them for everything and they should be fine for grapefruit.

Doris, For lemons and limes, the Metrokane works reasonably well....as long as they are small. Forget about oranges; the crank shaft gets stuck in one of the grooves and it just doesn't work. I ended up purchasing a vintage Wearever juicer that does a fantastic job!

It is grapefruit juice, dehydrated, so it will act as grapefruit juice does. But the quantity of one packet would be minimal..equivalent to just one tablespoon of actual grapefruit juice or less when reconstituted. If you're using it just to flavor water, I would think you would be okay, but always best to check with your MD.

I truly don't know. But I do know that we could pick the grapefruit without any damage to the fruit. It does have sorta like fingers that could puncture the fruit. But, I also think you could be careful and when you place the fingers around the stem and fruit and not do damage. Since we were going up in a tree, it was easier with 2 of us so when the fruit was in the basket I could bring it down and Dick would reach the basket and remove the fruit so I didn't dump it on the ground. We really like it and it's easy to use. Hope I've helped a bit.

I haven't ever tried to juice a grapefruit with it. However, in looking at the size, I believe it could be done. It might be a little small for grapefruits, but could work. It is a quality product. We use it primarily for lemons and oranges. It works great and is easy to clean.

i use this product for medicinal purposes, added to grape juice each day for my husband. it helps him move about freely. it mixes with the juice better than any other product we have tried. I sometimes use it in my jelly as well, it is a good product.

i dont think so, this thing works best on citris [oranges,lemons,limes and grapefruit]

If the grapefruit is small, it would work. The large side of the juicer measures 3.5 inches across.

I use it with Grapefruit and Pomegranate only as I cannot have Orange Juice and have no need for Lemon juice... I guess it can be used with Oranges and Lemons as well. The main difference is the size (circumference) of the squeezing cylinder. It is fairly large to handle bigger fruits...Hope this helps.

The diameter of the top is 3-3/4 inches and the bottom is almost 5". I think it would be fine for a large grapefruit.

for home use not bad, I have my own grapefruit trees and I burnt out the gears when doing a bushel of late in the season fruit. Fruit needs to be ripe and juicey. If the fruit is too firm or dry the gears will not last with any heavy pressure pushing on the fruit. Just doing a coupe of glasses each day or a quart the machine is OK.
