Do you put that clear cover on so you don't have hold the citrus fruit while you're juicing? Or is that cover just a cover?

I thought the clear cover was just a cover. There is that yellow cap that I put over the lemon on top of the citrus grinder area. It worked great. Am I doing it wrong?

The cover is just a cover, because while you're juicing, you want to be able to squeeze the fruit against the reamer to make sure you get every drop.

I don't know - I personally wasn't concerned as I don't leave the juice in the juicer long.

The juicer only has 3 parts that get dirty during juicing - and the pulp comes right out once dismantled - it is super easy to wash. Like the previous answer, I never even use the dishwasher and do it by hand

No the bottom part comes offNot the top. The top doesn't get very dirty and I wipe with a sponge. It takes about a minute to clean, I purchased this to simplify my juicing experience since I was cleaning a juice extractor for 15 minutes after each use.

My juicer has not clogged up. I like the pulp so I do not try to restrict it. I believe that you can adjust the fittings to reduce pulp in the juice. In have not tried it. Overall, I really like the juicer.

NO you do not. The screening section catches the excess pulp and seeds just fine. Love ours. Very durable. We've had one for several years and we freeze about 32 gallons of orange juice each season.

We did put it in the dishwasher and the heat caused it to warp. It still fits on the juicer, but it's a pain to get on. Wash by hand.

Yes, the juice is collected in the cup through a strainer lid. The pulp, skin, etc., is pushed out the front of the juicer. Although the strainer lid does a decent job, I still use a wire mesh strainer before I consume or store the juice.

I use a produce bag and place it inside the waste bowl. As soon as I'm done juicing I wash everything. Use the brush to clean the screen and let it dry. If the screen still has stuff in it after dries - re-clean. Have been very satisfied with the juicer; Gary H.

I wouldn't recommend adding powder through the juicer. Use a jar for your juice and add the powder then twist on the lid and shake. The purpose of the juicer is to squeeze out the juice of fruits and vegetables while eliminating the fibrous material. I love my juicer, Happy juicing ���

Yes. The spout flips up to a partially or a closed & sealed position. Very helpful, as reservoir retains juice so that multiple vessels (jars, glasses, etc.) can be filled after juicing is complete... Giving you time to wash sticky fingers before handling sterile vessels. I love mine! Hope this helps.

I've only seen leakage within compartments. As others have noted, I put most really ripe fruit in containers. But, if I'm already using the container for yogurt or the like, I sometimes take a tiny piece of Press n Seal and place it just over the compartment with raspberries or kiwi. Not completely zero waste but it means the food doesn't get wasted.

There was a booklet with it--but with nothing to put together, it's not really needed. This is a great juicer though. Super heavy duty and really gets all the juice out. I bought it specifically for pomegranets, which its perfect for, but I also use it for citrus. My only complaint is it sits a little low so I had to find just the right juice catcher. But that's a small irritation really.

That is what I have and it never slides in the shell half that attaches to it. The cover is interesting in that it folds over but also bends and rotates around that joint (@ apple logo). Depending how u hold it, the urge is to close it by bending cover backwards. This puts the soft side out not on screen, also will crease the main bend probably in a destructive way if u did it all the time. I've totally gotten used to it but just about everyone hands it back to me wrong. Still great deal.

It's not a juicer - juicers will separate pulp/skins/seeds from the juice (with varying levels of efficiency, depending on the machine). This will pulverize and liquify everything you drop into it. Some people like their juice that way. But it's not a juicer per se.

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.

No and I've had mine for quite some time and use it quite regularly. This is the best juicer on the market by far, I wouldn't expect you to have that problem.
