I would be using this primarily for grapefruits. They aren't huge grapefruits but they are bigger than oranges. Would this work well for that?

No i think it would be too small. I use it for lemons and limes and it seems to work perfect. I think it would be on the small side for grapefruit.

No way - lemons or limes - maybe a tangerine. Not even a regular size orange - that would be too big.

I think so. You may have to squeeze the grapefruit a little to press it against the center juicing mechanism, but I don't see a huge problem.

A few smallish grapefruits would probably be OK, but you're going to have to work (squeezing the fruit around the juicer core). If you're doing a lot, you'll be happier with something else.

I have used in on grapefruits and it works well. I have also used it on small manderins, not as easy, but doable.

Don't eat grapefruit anymore, but I just went into the kitchen and tried it on an orange. Works beautifully. It does leave a good bit of the white part of the rind intack, but you can go over it to get more off. Works very quickly with little effort.

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

It accomodates larger lemons pretty well. I've never used it to press an orange, but I imagine you could make it work by cutting the orange into wedges.

Hello Andy! This juicer will be great for juicing citrus such as oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, etc. This unit uses a reamer to juice.

The Olympus Commercial Juice Press is large enough to be used on grapefruits. We have used the Juice Press on grapefruits (and oranges, lemons, and limes) and have been very satisfied with how it works.

Half of a small to medium size grapefruit works great! But very large grapefruit are difficult to maneoever, and the juicing mechanism doesn't work well if you cut the grapefruit into quarters (they are the wrong shape).

Hi there, I've only used it for oranges and grapefruits so far - even large ones- and it's been great. Haven't had a chance to try pomegranates bc they haven't been in season here quite yet but my sense is - medium sized pomegranate will fit just fine! If you need to do a very large pomegranate, you could always cut it in thirds and juice that way.

You can use them for that. They will be good. I have only used them for grapefruit, but they are very good and firm. You will have no problem at all.

No it's just for citrus halves: mainly for orange juice, but possibly could be used for lemon, lime, tangerine, or grapefruit.

It might be a little bit shallow for 1 inch deep, but I think it could work. They do a great job with fruit and vegetables (cantaloupe is not usually sliced so thin, so I bet I've used them on something about an inch thick). Surprisingly, I use them way more often than I expected I would!

Will work on any fleshy fruit- I have torn up peach seeds- it is very powerful so yes oranges with-out a doubt

My nephew is the one who received this. He used it for pears. He recommended another use it for grapefruit. I would think that peaches woukd be fine.

I have both citrus and fig trees but haven't considered using it on my fig trees as they are relatively short. My guess is that it would work provided that the Figs weren't too soft.

No catch for seeds ... this is also a very small juicer, best for lemons and limes ... not good for oranges, even blood oranges were a bit to big. You would juice the blood orange and bowl of the juicer would be so full, that the peel of the orange would be resting in the juice. Seeds are no big deal, take them out with a fork or pour through a fine mesh strainer ... I would suggest getting a larger juicer however.

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
