Review on Vollum Hand Press Manual Citrus Juicer -Hand Juicer Citrus Squeezer Commercial Grade Home Orange Juice Squeezer For Oranges, Lemons, Limes, Grapefruits And More - Stainless Steel And Cast Iron -Non-Skid Suction Cup Base - 15 Inch - Red by Lynn Warwick

This review is for the 18.5 Inch Juicer.I researched press juicers and finally chose this one because it claimed to be large enough to accommodate a grapefruit. I have two orange one grapefruit and one pomegranate tree in my back yard. The grapefruits and pomegranates are huge so I was looking for a juicer that would be large enough to handle whatever we've got growing. This juicer definitely hits that mark!We had our nieces over for Christmas so we made a day of picking and juicing oranges. We picked and juiced about 100 oranges in about two hours. This juicer accommodated both the large and small oranges without a problem. The lever was not too difficult to pull such that my 8 year old niece could take part in the juicing as well. Both girls had a great time and, for the most part, the juicing went smoothly and cleanly.On the down side, occasionally, a bit of juice would squirt out shooting over the collection cup. Also, the suction cups occasionally came loose allowing the juicer to tip.On the plus side, the oranges were thoroughly juiced; to the point that if we pressed too hard, we would begin forcing the orange skin through the strainer! The VAST majority of the juice went straight down through the spout and into our container making for fairly clean operation. Because I selected the taller model, we were able to juice directly into used juice/water bottles; the down side of this was that when we juiced into a low measuring pitcher, there would be some splash because of the distance from the spout to the pitcher. The height (18.5" or 15") is measured from the bottom of the spout so get what you need.Five stars assigned advisedly; any conns noted above were minor and I'm very pleased with the quality and operation of this juicer.
