I would love to hear from the manufacturer - can this product be used for citrus in addition to poms? Some say yes, others say no. What is correct?

Of Course it can be used for citrus. these things are very stout. If they can squeeze a pom they can sure as heck squeeze an orange. Unfortunately the one I ordered was broken in transit so I ended up purchasing an OrangeX (which BTW works perfectly well on Poms). I may have received a flawed one. the company wanted to send me a new one but i already had the OrangeX.

I have used it for grapefruit and larger oranges it works great. this is a nice juicer strong and sturdy.

Theres no reason you couldn't use it for oranges. I use it for pomegranites and we do about ten bushels so this isn't for small amounts. If you are making a lot of juice it should work fine. good luck , happy juicing

I am not the manufacturer, but I have used this extensively for extracting juice from grapefruit and the results are five star - excellent.

Some citrus, definitely! Due to the larger size of the press, lemons and limes, for example, are usually too small. However, it's perfect for oranges and grapefruit.

I have only used it for pomegranate juice. I think if you used less pressure it would also work for citrus as it looks just like my citrus press juicer; just stronger.

I didn't see anything about citrus oils in the manual, but it was a difficult manual to read. I've used lemon essential oil a couple of times without any issues.

There are better fertilizers specifically for citrus. I always use a citrus fertiizer for citrus and Miracle Gro for flowers.

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!

Yes. I can be used for grapefruit, oranges, and pomegranates. Just don't put too much pressure on the handle and squeeze too hard or you will be able to taste the rind instead of getting pure juice.

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.

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.

From what I've read, most essential oils are viable for decades. I believe citrus oils go bad the fastest. I wouldn't worry about this spoiling unless you mix it with a carrier oil that might get old.

According to my daughter, who sells Do-Terra oils, diffusers won't work with distilled water. I just use tap water. It didn't say not to use with citrus, but I haven't tried citrus.

I use Thieves Essential Oil in mine. I would think that a citrus oil would be fine. Oil is oil.....don't know if that helps.

Yes, I've used these on my own Dwarf Citrus with excellent sucess. I would use only 1/2 of a entire stake placed on outside of pot/covered in soil.

I personally haven't used this on avocado or citrus. I have used it on indian hawthorn and palms. It works great for these. The package insert says to use 4 tsp/gallon of water for the avocado and 2-4 tsp for citrus. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't. Any questions you should be able to find on the Pomona Pectin website.I do know that you can view their instructions online - these are also included with the Pomona Pectin.One thing I read: "...Pomona's works differently from other pectins. Pleaseread our directions and recipes carefully...."

I haven't ever tried to juice a grapefruit with it. However, in looking at the size, I believe it could be done. It might be a little small for grapefruits, but could work. It is a quality product. We use it primarily for lemons and oranges. It works great and is easy to clean.

it can be used for oranges for sure. if Grapefruit is too large for the 4-inch diameter press then it may not work. lemons are too small for this press.

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....

We use oil blends that have citrus in them and it works totally fine. We've not had any problems!
