Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Made of highly polished chrome with suction cup feet for added stability, this retro-style juicer works on the principle of leverage: raise the arm to insert the citrus half, lower it to press out the juice. The clever mechanical system completely extracts juice from all citrus fruits, whether small limes or medium-size grapefruits. Made of 18/10 stainless steel, the dishwasher-safe fruit holder and strainer are easily removed for cleaning. At seven pounds, this juicer weighs roughly half as much as the OJex cast-iron manual juicer and requires less effort to operate. When the arm is folded down for storage, the juicer measures 10 by 9 by 8 inches. --Ann Bieri

1.0 out of 5 stars Too labor intensive for the price, October 10, 2003

This review is from: Orange-X OJex Xpress Chrome Juicer (Kitchen)

I chose this model because it looked beautiful but it's not worth the price for the amount of work it takes to get one glass of orange juice. I had to press an awful amount and my arm started to hurt from all the pressing. If you have a lot of kitchen space and are going to use it once in a blue moon and want to impress guests, then it's fine because it really looks great on the counter. However, I'm going to return mine and spend 3 times as much for a machine operated juicer that won't break my arm or take so long.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, breakable, March 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Orange-X OJex Xpress Chrome Juicer (Kitchen)

Okay, this is probably the coolest looking juice press, at a reasonable price, out there. We were excited and pleased with the juicer, but had to return it when it developed cracks in the pressing mechanism. I would recommend getting the cast-iron Ojex model rather than this beautiful chrome plated zinc alloy, which breaks!
Two other smaller problems:
1. While the lower cup that holds the orange half is removable, the upper section is not, making for awkward cleanup.
2. The lever isn't stable in the up/open position, allowing it to sometimes close unexpectedly and possibly causing injury when cleaning, juicing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Broke after 3 uses, March 30, 2008

Based on another purchaser's comment, I expected to have to expend some energy using this juicer. I was prepared for that. What I was not prepared for was the fact that after I used it 3 times, the lever mechanism stopped working. It's nearly impossible to pull the lever back up now. At first I was excited about my new juicer, but now I am very disappointed in the quality of this product. I don't recommend it.
