I am in need of a juicer as I have a lemon tree and need to juice a lot of lemons. Do you think this is easy to use and does a good job ?
2004783
Yes. This will do the job. I have one that my brother borrows all the time, and he bought one to give to his friend who has a v-e-r-y productive lemon tree. They use it all the time. (:

You will get tired if you have lots of lemons to do because you have to push lever by hand. We make fresh squeezed orange and lemonade with it but it only take 3-4,lemons

This is an excellent jucier for your needs. This juicer is very sturdy, easy to use, and easy to clean. I bought my first one in the 1970's and with regular use it lasted over 30 years. I usually squeeze in bulk and store the juice in the refrigerator. My, how I would love to have a lemon tree!

Doris, I also have a lemon tree. I bought this juicer, used a couple of times and never again. The lever gets stuck; it is not good for larger oranges and lemons : wastes a lot of juice. Lacking in stability, sometimes you need the other hand to keep it standing. The lever is too short, but if it were longer the stability would be even less. Not recommended.

we returned it right after purchase. It is too lightweight (more plastic than metal) and wouldn't even stay put on the counter while trying to juice. We knew it was trouble as soon as we opened the box. 'They' sure don't make things like they used to.

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.

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!

Would not recommend this one. Left a lot of juice in oranges. Broke soon. Spend the money and get an electric one..
2004791
I bought it and had to return it. It is not like to old one that are able to really squeeze the juice out of the citrus. This one just did not apply the pressure.

Dear Doris, the squeezing is easy and fast, the cleaning is no problem and the design is marvellous. 20 years ago I would have surely recommended it. Nowadays you should look for better quality. Do yourself a favour. Don't buy it.

I don't know if that is possible for any juicer.this is a good juicer if you don't have money time invest in an amazing electric one.the pulp that comes out is relatively dry..so it's a sign that it does a good job..you can also adjust it to get more pulp in juice.if you have the money (around $1k) the best juicer I know of is the angel

Everything is easy to clean, except the strainer, not sure if there is a special way to do it, this is my first juicer. And you have to clean it after every usage.

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.

I've never used it as a juicer. It blend fruit very very well though. I would say better than juicers I have used. So I guess you just have to filter the pieces out somehow.

No. A juicer is much different. Those will extract the pulp/fiber and leave a thin juice. Great for short term cleanses. Trendy too. I have one. It is gathering dust. I use the blender twice a day at least.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that was the use for which it was originally intended, though it also does a great job with leafy greens such as kale and chard. I think all around it is the best manual juicer. The company is also very good to work with, and replaced the strainer at no charge when it developed cracks because I was juicing carrots and apples. (Did a good job on those as well, but I think the strainer basket couldn't take the extra pressure.) All in all I'm really happy with the juicer, but in a perfect world all the parts would be stainless steel.

I love the juice it makes, especially kale, apple, ginger and lemon This juicer is quick, efficient and easy to use

It juices larger ones better. We have juiced small lemons on it but you have to hold it very precisely. If they are too small we use a lemon squeezer. Good Luck!

* Slower spin speeds is a definite plus.* As of, "easier/more convenient to use"? This one flies by all of the others, in my opinion. Other people I know have a vertical juicer and one person said to me, when we were juicing apples & had to clean up, that this one is a lot faster clean-up time. * My next point is that I only have one well working hand, b/c of a T.B.I. that happened in 2003. Live on my own now & this juicer takes me minimal time to clean-up, I'd say about 5 minutes or less; as long as you clean it right away, so all the juice pulp & the juice itself doesn't dry on to the juicer parts. * * Slower spin speeds is a definite plus.* As of, "easier/more convenient to use"?

I think it is easy to clean. The most important thing is to clean the metal "blade" soon after juicing while everything is still moist. Although, when I'm in a hurry, I have left for later cleaning and I just put the blade/basket in water and soak it until I can finish the job. A brush is provided and I do use it.

I believe it does a great job. I do not like pulp in my juice either. We have used our juicer for several months now and have had no issues.

I didn't have any trouble juicing beats with it. However, I thought this juicer didn't do a great job of extracting juice, a lot of it ended up in the waste bin.

This juicer produces VERY little foam and does the entire fruit! It also comes with attachments so that you can grind meat, make nut butters and make homemade noodles and breadsticks! I always remove the pits from stone fruits before I juice so I can't say how well it would do with those... But, I can't imagine why you would make the effort to leave them in for juicing if its easier to leave them out.

I think this is a great juicer. Not messy like the previous juicer I had. Not hard to clean. I would definitely purchase again. I don't really have any dislikes.

the only problem ive had with this juicer is that it doesnt handle pineapple very well. it does great with all other fruits and veggies (even leafy veggies). ive had it for 3 months and it works great. no problems with the attachments or with the motor. easy to clean. mine came with a 12 yr warranty so i feel pretty confident about it working in the future.

I think it would work great honestly... I want to get a couple more. The manufacturer suggests using it for lemon juice, now I want one to spray lemon juice and water on my fruit for my kids lunches :) best of luck
