Hi there, I need a machine that squeezes lemons and limes without frequent jamming. Anyone have feedback about the smoothness of the machine? Thanks

It really doesn't like lemons or limes. They seem to be too hard and the machine struggles. It works great for oranges only really

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....

I did not try to squeeze limes, but I can tell you that I have a big one for oranges, and squeezing a lemon in the big orange one does not work. So the same probably applies to squeezing a lime in the lemon one. They do sell a metal lime squeezer.

I use it every day and have no problem. Another thing I would suggest is looking at their new Vertuoline system. I think those machines are even better and I wold look into those if I were buying my 1st machine

This is an excellent juicer. Easy to use and very easy to clean. I sometimes have trouble with really big oranges but it should be very good for lemons. Reasonably priced as well. I recommend it.

It's not that bad, it makes a moderate amount of noise, but does not run you out of the room. I did notice that it does leak a little when processing and I should let you know that I no longer use my Tribest. I enjoyed green smoothies so much that I would have to make two to quench my needs when using the Tribest. So now I use my Vitamix. I had it before buying the Tribest, but didn't use it since I thought it would be harder to clean and would make too much. I was wrong. My Vitamix is much easier to clean and makes just the right amount of smoothies for my needs. If you can afford it, I would strongly suggest getting a Vitamix. Just my 2 cents.

sorry, I can't help you. I returned the dessert maker a couple of years ago. I did not like it, it never worked properly.I don't like products made by cuisinart.

I have been using my VRT330 everyday since I purchased it last March. I went through a number of strainer baskets at the outset because they cannot really handle lime peel. The strainers crack and must be replaced. My thoughts are that this might not be the best candidate for making a nut slurry. I juice carrots, beet, ginger, chard, kale, cilantro, parsley, celery, cabbage, and collards every day. I like the back up setting when it gets too much stuff. Good luck making almond/soy milk.

this product makes things very smooth Cuisinart CPB-300PK SmartPower 15-Piece Compact Portable Blending/Chopping System, Pink I made dips in it with cheese and herbs etc and it is very smooth..I did not get that with this food processor though...not smoothe enough for baby...and when the baby is older the cuisinart makes slushie form juice or even fresh juice made in a juicer for excellent health but in a likeable form by addng a good amount of ice.

Just curious if you ever found a good mixer with a slow speed? I'm still hunting for one.

I'm sorry, I have not used them. My husband has and said it is smooth. For $7, get it and see for yourself. Jeanette

The cavatelli are wonderful though. The reviews that are bad are just not using the machine correctly!

It will not come out smooth. If you want to do carrot juice and raw almond milk, you most definitely need a vitamix. I know it is much more expensive but that is the only way you will get a smooth juice, milk or smoothie. I am very disappointed in this machine and would not recommend it. As soon as I can, I am going to get a vitamix.

It makes great fruit smoothies. As far as carrots or spinach etc i haven't tried it. The smoothies are creamy. It's very heavy as its glass. I found out cleaning is a hassle. You can't put the part that screws on the pitcher to hold to base in dishwasher. it can't get wet! Must carefully wash by hand. I would not have purchased if I knew that. It's a hassle to clean.

I cut my lemons or limes in half, place the cut side down in the squeezer, and squeeze. If you place the round half up, it is harder to squeeze and the squeezer does not do a good job. Very seldom will you find lemons or limes the size of oranges. In any case, if you squeeze oranges a lot, you can still use the orange squeezer for lemons or limes. I like the small Mexican ( Key ) limes best for their flavor. I use a mechanical rotating juicer for oranges.

hi, I got a couple of new ones from Nespresso, made no difference...I just think the machine is not up tp it, I even got anew machine and more whisks...but this week, not much froth, just warm milk, very annoying...yet my friend has an old machine that works every time...need to find an antique! Good luck. Am going to put my machine on e bay...never been so disappointed, I was going to buy a machine for my sons...but they are not keen any more having seen my results.

I found out when using that the "quick" pushes are not as quick as one would think.I found out from someone who had it , that you push and hold a little once or twice and then the next push, you hear like a grinding sound.That is what you want to hear. I was pressing like 8times quickly(quickly as recomm)and hardly any fizz, it wasn't until hearing the grinding sound

@Carl D.I've had this blender for a couple of months now and I've used it to make smoothies (with ice) and for pesto a couple of times (pine nuts, almonds). I I like a smooth consistency, and I get that with this blender. Also, it's not noisy, which is an important factor especially in an apartment. The construction is solid, cleaning is quite easy as well. I rinse out the jar with regular dish soap and neither the jar nor the blades have any lingering, garlicky or other ingredient smells. Although if you need to make smoothies and such for large gatherings, you'll need a larger capacity. I'd say this blender is perfect for a family of four. @Carl D.I've had this blender for a couple of months now and I've used it to make smoothies (with ice) and for pesto a couple of times (pine nuts, almonds).
