Metrokane L Press Juicer, Orange Handles Review

Metrokane L Press Juicer, Orange Handles
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I juice a lot of oranges on a regular basis. I have tried manual reamers and electric juicers. I was excited to use one which could apply a lot of pressure quickly and with less effort. The only problem, and it is a big one, is that the juicer leaves a large portion of the flesh unsqueezed. When I use an electric juicer/reamer, there is very little flesh left. With this juicer, the top does not come down far enough onto the removable cup cap to squeeze the whole orange. As a result, you will waste about 25% of the juice. This problem is so obvious that I can take the juiced halves and squeeze more juice out with my bare hand. I will be seeking a refund. I am very disappointed. I can't believe this product is on the market with such poor performance.

Typhoon Retro Revolution Juicer, Tangerine Dream Review

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.

Metrokane Mighty OJ - Manual Citrus Juicer - Chrome Juice Press Review

Metrokane Mighty OJ - Manual Citrus Juicer - Chrome Juice PressI could not "bottom out" the 1/2 orange to extract the juice, therefore leaving 1/2 the juice in the orange. The lever is not well positioned requiring an awkward position of my hand to get enough pressure on the orange to squeeze it. A great disappointment.
