Can you use a small lime or does it have to be big citrus?

Yes of course, you can use a small lime and it does not have to be big citrus. Its inner diameter is about 2.5 inch and if citrus is too big, you can always cut in half and use. Any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

This works great for fruits smaller than 3 inches in diameter, so definitely lemons and limes and smaller oranges. I originally purchased this for blood oranges, and it works great for those. Most oranges are going to be larger than 3 inches in diameter, though, and won't physically fit in this juicer without hanging out the sides.

Smaller oranges yes,limes and lemons for sure. But you won't get all the juice out. I'd stick with those hand held ones that you have to twist the fruit over it to get the juice. We bought ours and barely use it. Might be just because I like to get every last bit out.

You can use it for grapefruit, lemons and oranges; but with grapefruit, like others said, you have to move the fruit around, considering the size of the fruit.

Its not awkward, its very useful. Hold the handle with left hand and half lemon in your right palm as you hold a ball. After squeezing lemon initially directly with palm & taking out some 50% juice, you can then pierce the pointed end in the middle of lime and then rotate the lime. all remaining juice and citrus material comes out.

I thought it might also but I find that the bigger fruits work better. I use cut up lemons and limes, and berries. They work the best. I do like to use it for flavored water.

I haven't tried key limes. At BJ's (the local equivalent of Costco, etc.), they sell bags of undersized limes which aren't much bigger than key limes, and it works fine on them. You press down on the fruit with the palm of your hand on to a spinning plastic apparatus. It isn't dangerous, and I think you'd be fine if you're careful.

Can't actually say, since I like onions and use them up pretty quickly. Just a reminder, don't buy too large an onion or it won't fit. I don't have a lemon or lime saver, so don't know.

I never tried anything else other then oranges,. We got a box of oranges that were too big for the machine and we had to keep pushing in the oranges. But do not know about limes and le,ons....

Depending on the fruit not so bad- lemons and limes pretty easy, but grapefruits (which I mostly juice) are tough because they are wider, even for the larger reamer. If you're losing strength in your hands, it might be better to save up and get an automated one that can also do things like apples- it would probably have more longevity

it says fruit and citrus, so most likely yes, my oranges and limes love the stuff! Maybe, to be sure, contact the manufacturer. Sorry I couldnt help more

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.

I have not tried that, but can tell you this baby has a LOT of power. Is awesome for citrus- love it!

Yes. You may have to press down the lime with your hand over the rotating core.

Only know about CJ630 cone's. Big cone is for grapefruit, oranges, and large lemons and small one is for limes and maybe small lemons. Mike J.

I neasure my lemon-lime combo (lemon) at 68 mm & the orange at 84 mm. sorry i canot find a inch tape right now. i have never found an oversize lemon for the combo but i don't know about cosco's lemons. cut a "big" one in half and measure the diameter. you can always force fit a somewhat oversize fruit. -- bigger is almost always better here unlike waistlines

I have not juiced limes but I can say this: the opening shoot is only approx. 1 in by 2 in wide. If you wanted to juice limes, they'd have to be super small, maybe key limes? Even those may need to be cut in half. As far as peeling, no experience there. If you're wondering if ppl peel limes or not, look here: http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/forums/topic/what-do-you-peel/ but if you're wondering about the durability of machine...should be fine. So far I've juiced: carrots, apples, beets, ginger, celery, & tomatoes ~ all with skin.
