Amazon.com Review
This attachment turns your KitchenAid stand mixer into a citrus juicer, eliminating the need for a second appliance that would take up valuable kitchen storage and counter space. Its four parts--heavy-duty aluminum shaft, reamer, shield, and strainer--are easy to assemble and attach to the stand mixer's powerful motor. Turn the mixer speed to level 6, and the reamer maintains a fast and steady spin. Press your fruit halves against it, and the juice pours out. You do have to exert a bit of pressure to extract all of the juice, but it's certainly not difficult to use. The strainer basket holds back the pulp and seeds as the juice flows into your pitcher. --Betsy Danheim
Product Description
Quickly and easily extract juice from the smallest lime to the largest grapefruit. A special strainer helps trap pulp.

I really like this attachment and use it frequently. That said, I have some suggestions:
For users-
1. Use the KitchenAid mixing bowl to catch the juice, and place a large standard kitchen strainer across the bowl. This speeds things up a lot!
2. Rub some shortening on the aluminum shaft before inserting it into the brass sleeve. If you use your juicer a lot, this will greatly prolong its life.
For KitchenAid-
1. The plastic piece that inserts into the mixer should be made out of metal, instead of plastic with a metal sleve. On mine the plastic is cracking away from the brass.
2. The aluminum shaft should be brass or steel. As it is, the bearing surface is a small area of aluminum that even when lubricated, is showing lots of wear.

Each week we buy a dozen oranges and a dozen grapefruits (organic if possible). This juicer attachment makes juicing them much faster. Then we freeze most of the juice and thaw it in the fridge for 24 hours before we drink it. It would be hard to go back to regular juice. We also have a dedicated juicer for carrots, apples and pears, but it isn't good for citrus. We store the juice in mason jars in the freezer.
Notes:
1. As in an earlier review, use the mixer bowl with a large strainer place across it instead of the strainer attachment which is pretty useless.
2. You don't need to seed the grapefruit using the big strainer.
3. Hold the fruit so that your hand is at the top (fingers facing upwards) and brace the top of the mixer with your other hand. This way the juice does not run down your arm.

I will repeat what everybody else says about the included strainer not being worth anything. It is small, easy to lose, ineffective, etc.
Otherwise this is a marvelous attachment for juicing all kinds of citrus fruits.
A note on technique. Many people attempt to juice fruit by simply pressing forward. This will miss a lot of juice. It is necessary after pressing forward to give a little squeeze so the sides get all juiced as well. Also, you will get less messy if you hold the fruit half by the top instead of the bottom, as the bottom is where the juice tends to come out.
A note on lemonade. The key is to mix the water and sugar together and boil them. This makes the sugar a super saturated solution instead of a suspension. The sugar doesn't settle. Add the lemon juice once the sugar solution (also called simple syrup) is cooled in the fridge.

Does the job...
Not the highest quality piece of KitchenAid equipment I own but it does the job. The bronze bushing tends to wear on the aluminum shaft a bit. Have to be a bit gentle with it. Read more

Not a great design
For a company with great products, this one is a flop. It does a great job of getting the juice out of the fruit but a lousy job of collecting the juice. Read more

It does it's job but leaves a big mess of splatters. Because it is vertical, the juice also tends to run down your arm. Read more

Best juicer ever
