(More customer reviews)This juicer does a good job of getting as much juice as possible out of small to medium citrus fruits - lemons, Persian limes, and oranges.
If you place a spacer under the juice container (I used the lid from a gallon jug of Arizona iced tea) it will also juice very small citrus - namely thin-skinned Key limes. To me, this alone makes it worthwhile because motorized-reamer juicers like my Cuisinart aren't well suited to this, while manual reamers are a lot of work... my Nigella Lawson Bliss juicer is wonderful for a lime at a time, but I just juiced over a quart of key lime juice with the Typhoon. It seems to get as much as much juice out of each lime as Nigella's, which is my benchmark. It does the job, and it looks good doing it.
However, it does have its imperfections. Seeds find their way through the holes, so I always empty it through a funnel with a strainer. The plastic piece the cup sits on wasn't pressed in until it was level and it took a lot of juicing before it seated itself - before that the cup tended to wander off center. I've become aware that guidance of the cup and/or plunger is necessary. Large citrus (giant grapefruit in particular) won't fit or won't be fully juiced. It flexes a bit, so I don't know if it'll last forever. Only the juice cup is dishwasher-safe stainless; the plunger cup needs to be removed and hand-washed.
That said, it does a better job with small citrus, with less hassle, than any juicer I own and I've had several. Mine is red, and it's earned its place on my counter. I couldn't ask for a better partner in my Tiki drink and margarita addictions.
