I bought this juicer specifically for use as a bar tool, and it saw intermittent use on lemons (and only lemons) for about three months. While it did a decent job of extracting juice, the lever itself was balky, suggesting to me that the internal gear assembly isn't machined to particularly high tolerances. Furthermore, the spout is positioned EXTREMELY low: you can get a jigger/pony underneath it, but anything larger is an adventure. Finally, the "stem" isn't manufactured well: it had started to bend, thus degrading the performance of the gears even further, and when I tried to bend it back into shape with some gentle pressure, it actually snapped apart, destroying the juicer entirely.

Save your $30.

I had this item for approximately three weeks and it was broken by the fourth time I used it. The base opening is an awkward size making it hard to find a glass/cup to fit. The mechanism was not strong enough to withstand the force needed to extract the juice. As a result, the neck bent and after reshaping it a few times, it snapped in half. Their return policy is good but it is better to buy a different juicer all-together. The design is attractive. If they would use a stronger alloy and redesign the opening then they might warrant the $30.

This is an attractive machine, however, it does not come with a container or cup to catch the juice. The stand is so small and short, good luck finding a cup or container to fit under it successfully.

To whom it may concern. Cheap assembly, binds up on internal hardwear, does not press fully, all in all, very poor product. You would be better off hand squeezing with you hand than you would with this item...Run.

Although, this product appears well constructed and made of stainless steel it's crap. It's too small to fit even half an orange. And the amount of juice extracted is less than that by hand-squeezing. Trust me I compared the two. I read the reviews and still bought and now it's sitting in the bottom of my trash. I couldn't in good consciousness even resel it on eBay. In summary, don't buy use your hand for better results.
