This review is from: Cuisinart CCJ-100 Citrus Pro JuicerYou'd think it would be hard to mess up when designing an item that just juices halved citrus fruit, but they did. And how! There are three annoying features about this machine that interact to provide a supremely annoying user experience.The first annoying feature about this juicer is that the pour spout juts out a mere 1/4 inch from the side of the machine. Since the machine is rounded and somewhat urn-shaped (fatter on top than on the bottom), you have very little space to get a glass or measuring cup near the body of the machine in order to catch the juice. Keep in mind that some measuring glasses can be rather thick, and you can easily see that this might be a bit of a problem.Now for the other two problems. I should note that this machine has a decent amount of torque, and can indeed ream out a citrus fruit rather efficiently, leaving nothing but rind. The problem is the three little rubber feet on the bottom cannot stand up to the machine's torque. Push a fruit down on the top and the entire machine jerks to the side, whereupon the spout flinches away from its tiny area of proper juice-dispensing, and juice meets counter. You have to exert a considerable amount of force when pushing down the fruit just to get the thing to stay put. I had to use both hands to do this (one holding the lemon down, one pushing against the side of the machine, leaving none for the measuring cup). It's not an insignificant amount of force; you really have to brace your arms on the thing to keep it still.Thus comes the third problem, which is the auto-reverse mechanism. About the second or third time you push down on the fruit and activate the machine, it goes the other way (clockwise instead of counterclockwise) in order to get more pulp and juice out of the fruit. However, I haven't figured out how to tell which direction it's going to go next (it's not a simple first time this way, next time that way), so when it decides to change, the machine jerks in the opposite direction of where you were expecting it to go. This operates in opposition to the force you are exerting on the side of the machine trying to keep it from moving. Again, hilarity ensues.So, all in all, I am NOT impressed with this juicer. Unfortunately, it was the only one at the store. Perhaps another company will see the opportunity here and dare to make a juicer that does not have such an impressively compounded collection of design flaws....This review is from: Cuisinart CCJ-100 Citrus Pro JuicerLength:: 0:46 Mins1. The juicer doesn't stay in place. This often results in getting juice everywhere but the small container you need to use to hold the juice.2. Motor is too weak. This will result in having to wait in between fruit to finish juicing.3. Cup is too small and gets clogged after squeezing two oranges or one grapefruit. This result in having to rinse the top several times before continue juicing.4. Pass through is too small and gets clogged easily. Juice either doesn't go through or stay in queue, overflowing the container you're using.5. The top (where the citrus goes) isn't pointy enough, therefore it doesn't pierce the fruit you're juicing. This will result in a lot of waste because not all the pulp gets squeezed out.6. You'll need to strain the juice or eat it with a spoon. Because of all the overflowing, you'll get a lot of pulp inside the juice. I mean a lot.7. This product is so bad that even their marketing can't make up for it. You need to rinse before putting in the dishwasher to remove all the pulp and seeds (otherwise you'll majorly clogged your dishwasher and you don't want that to happen). Cuisinart only selling point is "dishwasher safe". After you rinse the pulp and seeds out, it's clean. Why put in the dishwasher? Why advertising it's dishwasher safe? What you do need to do is clean (and is not dishwasher safe) are your counters and the body of the juicer. Juice will run on the sides and get into the motor part and make a mess out of it. Cuisinart forgot to mention that in the box.It's too much of a mess to make this juicer worth purchasing. I honestly don't understand this getting bad reviews. I dislike this piece so much I've gone as far as making my first (and probably last) product review video....This review is from: Cuisinart CCJ-100 Citrus Pro JuicerI used a friend's citrus juicer, and that got me excited enough to go out and buy one of my own. The store didn't have the model I was looking for, so I ended up with this one, because I didn't do enough research.It's "okay" at extracting juice from citrus fruits, but after about two oranges it clogs up, and it's necessary to clean out the pulp catcher. If you want to make more than 6-8 oz of juice at a time, it may be better to go with another model.The biggest problem I have with this juicer is that it turns--and sometimes spins--on the counter. Because it is important to keep the receptacle cup directly underneath the spout, this turning and spinning inevitably creates a mess, as the spout moves away from it's place over the cup. I find myself chasing the spout with the cup, or trying to hold onto the juicer to ensure that it stays in place. Because of it's aerodynamic design, though, it's hard to get a grip on it. Sometimes I feel like I need three hands--one for the juicer, ...
