Product Description

Amazon.com

Get the most out of oranges, lemons, limes, and other citrus fruits with this electric juicer. The unit features a 30-watt motor and provides two-way rotation for efficient juice extraction. Juice flows into the machine's 34-ounce transparent container with a drip-free pour spout--great for viewing the juice level at a glance and serving juice directly from the container. The unit's double cone juicer accommodates different size fruits, while one-touch operation makes the device foolproof. Detachable parts clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher, and cord storage keeps the power cord out of the way when not in use. A transparent dust cover comes included to protect the internal components and extend the life of the unit. Designed and engineered in Italy, the juicer measures approximately 6-1/4 by 6-1/4 by 9 inches.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nice Price Point - Shoddily Made Juicer, January 8, 2008

This review is from: DeLonghi KS500 34-Ounce-Capacity Electric Citrus Juicer (Kitchen)

I received this product from Amazon on Friday, January 4th. My main reason for purchasing this juicer was its clean design (really like how the juice falls into the pitcher as opposed to the kinds that have a spout where the juice comes out) and for the unbeatable price. However, this morning, Tuesday, January 8th (a whopping 5 days since I've had this juicer) the juicer finally gave up on me.

I was juicing some small lemons when the machine just stopped working. There was no resistance or strange noise - nothing - the motor just completely stopped working. I would expect an inexpensive juicer like this to have a relatively short lifetime, however, 5 days is ridiculous. While the design was very nice (adjustable pulp settings, easy to clean, all parts fit neatly together), the fact that it simply stopped working (for no apparent reason) is astounding.

I had read similar reviews on other "cheaper" juicers that if you press too hard the motor could burn out - having read this, I was very careful to not push too hard when juicing. I would NOT recommend this juicer to anyone - Spend the extra money on a better quality juicer and avoid the headache that this one will cause.

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. Buy the Black & Decker CJ525 CitrusMate Plus Citrus Juicer, it's cheaper, quicker, quieter and a million times better.

Nicely designed, but inexpensively made. I would very much like to have one made of glass and metal. Especially the working parts. Motor and gears are plastic and prone to self-destruct over time and use. Having destroyed other, similar units, I use care. Two size spindle works great on lemons as well as grapefruit and oranges. Adjustable pulp strainer a plus. Removable decanter is nice but awkward to remove. All-in-all, a reasonable product for the money, but I'd rather have paid more for a higher quality machine.
