Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
This industrial-strength citrus juicer gets the most out of oranges, down to the last drop of sweet juice--pressed juice is naturally sweeter than juice obtained from electric juicers because it avoids the bitter taste of the skin oil. Put a glass under the juicer, place half an orange or grapefruit on the raised stainless-steel cone, and press the handle down. The wide, deep funnel top closes over the fruit, pressing every bit of pulp onto the cone to get every last drop of juice. It doesn't take a lot of strength to press down this handle, unlike the case with some other juicers, and the pulp left in the skin is completely flattened, a testament to this juicer's strength and thoroughness. To clean the cone and funnel parts, lift them out and rinse under the faucet. --Doree Armstrong

Great Juicer, Heavy Duty, Lifetime warranty, Good with Lemons Oranges, Small Grapefruit,
By Some may quibble over whether one juicer is better for oranges or lemons. From reading reviews, one that may be a little better for lemons, or grapefruit probably doesn't do as well with oranges etc due to only one strainer cup size being available. This very heavy duty juicer did a great job for me with lemons, oranges, and small grapefruit. It seems to be optimized for oranges though. However, I use it primarily for lemons and have had no problems except a very tiny bit of the lemon left on the side. I feel the claims about it not working well with lemons are grossly exaggerated and inaccurate. This juicer has a stainless steel juicing strainer and cup, so the health conscious have no need to worry about aluminum being leached into the acidic juice. Contrary to what one reviewer said, you cannot hurt your fingers using this juicer as long as you put your hand on the rubber handle (it is hard to use otherwise). The handle has a nice well calibrated stoper at the bottom that keeps you from damaging the unit by over extending when pushing down and still squeezes all the juice out well. The lower push range offers superior leverage over the juicers that have a spring and leave the handle up as you start and end from a higher position with them. (However, either way, it is not going to be hard to juice with this or other heavy duty juicers such as the Hamilton Beach regardless of handle position). The only thing I don't like about this juicer is that if you leave the handle up and try to move it, the heavy handle will fall easily and it could hit you on the head or face if you are bending over or short. It is particularly easy to have the handle fall since the suction cup feet make it a little difficult to move around and you have to pull and yank on it a bit to get it to move. I bought some standard 4mm screw on bolts and some nice non-marking rubber feet called bumpers (screw, rubber) at Ace hardware for a few dollars that fit perfect into the holes for the screw off suction cups that came with the juicer. My guess is the suction feet were meant primarily to help in a commercial environment where you always kept the juicer in the exact same position and didn't pull the juicer out then push it back on the counter when done like you might do at home. The juicer is so heavy, that even with these new non-suction non-marking rubber feet it doesn't move at all during routine juicing. Overall, this is a very heavy duty well made and designed juicer and I recommend it for home or commercial use (it is still quit large though called mid-sized). If it were not for the annoying rubber suction cup feet that it came with (and I easily replaced) I would have given it a five star rating. See my full review and explanations under this same mid-sized Orange-X juicer that Amazon itself sends out.

Bulky, but works great,
By
This review is from: Jupiter Large Commercial Juice Press, Black (Kitchen)
I've owned this juicer for over 5 years and it works like a charm for extracting juice from large quantities of limes, lemons or oranges. It is heavy and solidly built, and the lever action runs right through the center of the juicer so no problems with tipping. Not much effort required to get the handle all the way down, which extracts all the juice. If you want to get every last drop, rotate the fruit 1/4 turn and press again, but you get about 95% on the first squeeze. The only down side is the that it is large, heavy and bulky. It would be best if you have the counter space to leave it out all the time. I don't, so it probably gets less use than it otherwise would as I have to haul it out of the cupboard every time. It might work well in an appliance garage too.

Jupiter versus Hamilton Beach,
By Cabrini Deb (Santa Fe, NM) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jupiter Large Commercial Juice Press, Black (Kitchen)
If you've done your homework, you are likely deciding between the Jupiter and the Hamilton Beach. Both of them will last a lifetime. They are both sturdy and neither will try to tip over on you as you exert pressure on the handle. Your choice will be personal preference. If you're going to be spending hours pressing juice or you don't have much pressing strength, go with the Hamilton Beach. It's easiest to press. But know that the Hamilton Beach, because it doesn't press the heck out of the fruit, makes more watery juice. The Jupiter presses more firmly on the fruit, which means that although it requires a little more muscle, you can get some pulp in the strainer, which you can throw in with the juice. Me, I like a little pulp. Additionally, the Jupiter fits under your kitchen cabinets, which the Hamilton Beach does not. Bear in mind that these juicers are heavy enough that you want to lift them and move them as little as possible. The Jupiter comes with suction cup feet, so to move it, you have to lift it just a little, but these are replaceable with non-suction feet from any hardware store. I refuse to start my day with a noisy juice machine and quite enjoy my Jupiter juice press.
