1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy, September 9, 2011
This review is from: Metrokane L-Press Manual Citrus Juicer - Gray Handle 1030
UPDATE 4: do not buy this. product is worthless as it will only last 3 MONTHs. expensive, and customer support just mocks you. feel free to read the review as it goes along.

original review, before product broke in 3month:
i prefer manual presses over eletric rotating ones just because they are silent.

I got this one because it was one of the cheaper but still featured stainless steel on the parts.

turn out the gears and housing are all aluminium! and not heat threated! They are as firm as butter.

the diameter of the press is off for the navel oranges here in california. the rim of the fruit is mostly untouched.

Update 1:
durability is extremely low. used mine once or twice a week for some three months and the mechanism started to lock during the end of the movement. i opened it up, one of the gears had moved. easy fix, but it will came back every now and then.

The fact that it presses against the cup got me worried at first, thinking that the cup may expand or deform... but it's holding alright. the body and gears gave up way earlier than the cup, which still looks like new.

two starts because it's giving up after 3months. an average (3start) would last longer

update 2: I've contacted the company at the time (March), they asked me to send pics of the damaged parts... and after a few emails they sent me a new one. Same color as the first one, but with bad rust spots on the handle... ugly.

Also, it took them more than 6 months to resolve the issue...

Update 3: Ok, i've finally was about to take the replacement out of the box and use it... it's in WORSE shape then the original one! the rust that i thought was just cosmetic is really bad inside. and several of the pieces lost their thread in the places they screw in... i tried to remove them for cleaning and they are held in place with copious amount of pipe tape! i can't use this crap. it's going straight to the garbage bin.
