This thing is a joke. What a great disappointment I had when I first took it out of the box. I ordered it online. He said that I would be sent another one free of charge. I bought this citrus juicer merely because of the "good" reviews it got.
--- Final thought. The third one broke down in about a week. I took it apart, and I saw the cheap plastic gears with some of the teeth stripped off. I wonder, how could anyone possibly give this a good rating.
Without even using it, one could easily "feel" that it is very cheaply made. Had I actually been able to see it and touch it, I would have never bought it. Expecting this replacement to be working fine, I tried it, and it was just as bad as the first one I bought (very weak motor which would freeze up, gears grinding, very noisy, etc). How nice. I called DeLonghi to report my complaint. The rep there said that mine was probably damaged during the shipment (how could that possibly be when the box and the juicer were perfectly free from any visible damage).
I called DeLonghi again telling them about the replacement they sent me not working properly. I might as well use it." The very first minute I tried juicing a ripe orange, the gears started to grind, the motor stopped, and the thing made a loud racket.
Well, you guessed it. Shame on you, DeLonghi, for manufacturing and marketing a ridiculous piece of junk.
After lengthly discussion with various reps, they finally agreed to send me a third replacement (free of charge). It's the most cheaply made, poorly designed piece of junk I've ever seen.
It arrived about two weeks later. It's unbelieveably noisy.
I chose this particulare juicer because of the high ratings it got. I said to myself: "Well, I bought it.
The juicer has nice features (i.e. I can't believe I have to throw this thing away after so few uses. I have only had this juicer for a few months and it stopped working today. the tray that catches the pulp), but it simply isn't durable. Very disappointing. I have probably only used it a dozen times. The last few times I used it, it got extremely loud and today, it simply stopped spinning.
Not impressive at all. Mine literally broke into pieces when I waas trying to remove the piitcher from the base after very few uses. This product isn't very sturdy. It also doesn't work well on larger citrus fruits.
Buy the Black & Decker CJ525 CitrusMate Plus Citrus Juicer, it's cheaper, quicker, quieter and a million times better. I did not realize how horrible this juicer was until it finally died and I bought a new one. The whole time I used this juicer it was loud and ineffective.
It has a choice of two reamer sizes to use, it's inexpensive, and reliable. We have tried other juicers but this is the best for lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruit.
