Do I have to peel first the lemon or orange to make juice? How does it work?

No, you just cut them in half and hold them down on the machine (one half at a time). it spins around and removes the juice. Lift it up for a second and it will go the other way.

Just cut the Orange in half, place one half on the cone, better keep your hand on top of the Orange, switch power and that's it.

Usually you would want to peel the lemon or any citrus. The oils from the rind are quite bitter.

Just cut them in half and then press them on the juicer and it scrapes, kinda', the juice out. Easy as pie.

It depends on how you want to drink your juice. I don't like to leave the peel on my fruits. This is how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aeir-edU2dM

Yes - I can answer your question. Take off the large plastic cup on top, and the yellow juicer sits on top of the bottom bowl, which has a spout. Cut your oranges (or limes, lemons, etc.) in half; mash the fruit against the yellow juicer bulb, and the juice runs down into the cup below through the slots. You can pour the juice out into a larger container easily, with the pour spout. Pulp and seeds will remain in the top part, with the fruit you're squeezing.

No, I cannot get all the juice out of a lemon using this; however, I do like the ease of use and the juice I do get....to get all the juice out of a lemon you would need to use a lemon press.

Well every juicer will have a little foam that's called oxidation... However the faster it juices the more oxidation equals less nutrients .. which equals less storage time. I pretty much get no foam when juicing veggies And i get a little with like apples... Berry.. But none with oranges cucumbers . And yes i throw the whole thing n just chop it up. You should YouTube vids. I do not throw orange peels in it tho because i don't like the taste and it can do pineapple skin but you shouldn't consume that their really dirty lol n pesticides

I haven't tried limes. I have juiced lemons with the peel sliced into sections. It worked great!

Nothing separate to juice citrus, oranges ect. If this is your main task you would be better off using a juicer designed just for that task. The T-fal will work OK with citrus if you remove the peel. as a citrus juicer alone its just too much clean up, if you want to add citrus to other items you are juicing it will work just fine.

I have juiced both limes and lemons in this juicer and it does a decent job. They do need to be cut in quarters to fit into the feed chute. One of the juicing sites recommends peeling citrus with a potato peeler or something similar to remove the outer layer of skin if you don't like the super-tart taste of the citrus oil. I have done this and it works quite well. The white inner layer of the skin is supposed to contain extra nutrients so it is left on and run through the juicer.

Sunny: Here is my thinking on the top squeezer. It will make pressing down easier, but is not as efficient as the hand in juice extraction. The top can only press downward and does not accommodate all sizes of oranges and grapefruits. The hand will squeeze and ocilate, making it more efficient in extracting all the juice. If you get the top, please let me know if you find my thinking to bre true.Thanks,Ian

It depends on how small you cut the apples. Use a corer/slicer, don't peel. Fill the juicer about half full. When the juice starts flowing it shouldn't take to long. I didn't make apple juice but my pear juice turned out pretty good. It took a couple of hours but I filled it up.

No, this is a citrus juicer only; use for oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes, tangerines only.

Though it is a nice little gadget, you have to push down and manually twist the lemons or oranges. Have you considered an electric juicer? Might be better for you. I see the Black & Decker CJ625 30-Watt 34-Ounce Citrus Juicer for $17.99. Honestly, I wish I had bought an electric one. Good luck on your purchase. :-)

Yes this will work good. I love mine. The top dome that keeps it clean is a measuring cup. Take off squeeze orange and pour out as juice goes into bottom underneath after squeezing juice

Very easy just grip the fruit in the palm of your hand (i.e. 1/2 a lemon) and after inserting the "Reamer" just rotate the reamer. Easy and convenient.

It does juice everything but when you put the skins of citrus in, it makes the juice very bitter

No, it's an old-fashioned glass citrus juicer. You can either flip them out with a fork before using the juice, or pour it through a strainer.

I put my oranges through the maximum speed and I don't peel them. You don't have to, just make sure that you wash them very well.

I have put whole carrots in and it has blended them smooth. I have not tried citrus peels.
