Would half of a grapefruit fit this juicer?

All normal size ones will fit however I tend to buy the giant ruby reds to eat - preferably Indian River ones. I then hand-squeeze juice out into bowl or pitcher and drink because they are too good not to - at 2 for $4.

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).

Hmmm... I think it would work, but you would need to be careful how you used it or it would damage the finish. This item is pretty rough and not smoothly finished at all. It's nice and heavy, giving about 3/8 of an inch clearance for juices to slosh around in.

The diameter of the top is 3-3/4 inches and the bottom is almost 5". I think it would be fine for a large grapefruit.

I have not tried it. But, I believe it would. However, because it is so fiberous, it might clog the filter. This juicer does great with carrots and celery.

No. This is a centrifugal juicer. If I had it to do again, I would buy the Omega VRT350 Heavy Duty Dual-Stage juicer.

Yes, but the juice will be extruded counter-clockwise instead of clockwise.

If a fruit is too big, simply cut it into smaller parts, or reposition the part of the fruit that didn't get juiced completely. I would say a large grapefruit may need to be quartered with a knife, then juiced.

I doubt it would do a good job on a 5-inch grapefruit. The diameter of the holder is about 4 inches only. It works great on oranges and even mandarines and clementines but I a 5" grapefruit is simply too big. I also had good results with pomegranates but I had to squeeze multiple times, moving it to 4 different edges. Perhaps this "technique" could work with a grapefruit, too.

I doubt it. I think the pods would mostly just bunch up in the middle and not get juiced.

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.

yes, but not citrus fruits. Also you may need to strain the juice with a kitchen strainer to get rig of some excess pulp.

Yes. It is a very handy tool for fruits 2-5 inches width. The little cups that you can add to the sides will hold the smaller fruit.

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

Yes, however, I would say that would be about the max before having to remove the pulp, which is very easy. I can juice 2 very large grapefruits before having to remove the pulp.

No. The mesh screen is too delicate for that sort of thing. It would probably rip it, rendering the juicer useless.

I use my orange squeezer for all citrus that fits. It's the only one that I have ever used and it works great for what I need as I have arthritis in my hands...so I may not be getting the all the juice possible.

Yes. The 2 cup glass measuring cup is an excellent container to use. It fits well and you can measure the amount of juice you are making.
