This is the best citrus juicer ever! Like others, I swallowed hard at the price tag. I even postponed ordering for a few days to think it over. Would I really use it enough to justify the high price tag? In the end, the rave reviews of others convinced me, and I'm glad they did! What a great purchase this was!This machine makes juicing so easy! The designer was obviously thinking about every design detail. It's just about as perfect as a citrus juicer could be! Effective, easy to use, easy to clean, dishwasher safe--what more could one want?The machine is faster and quieter than any other juicer I've owned (which is really nice first thing in the morning). And, unlike so many other juicers, the machine requires very little hand or arm pressure to do the job. The long arm takes all the work out of the process. And this juicer never balks, as so many do. It just does the job, quickly, thoroughly and efficiently.It's now a pleasure to make fresh orange juice every single morning. I've also made real lemonade and fresh lemon-lime ade. Ever tried them? They're delicious!!! Oh, and we've made fresh grapefruit juice, too!The machine has handled every fruit beautifully.Like others, I do wish there was another, "coarser" strainer, for those of us who love lots of pulp in our juice. But maybe that would allow too many of the small seeds through. And it's not a big deal to just scoop out the pulp and add it to the juice.I also was a bit concerned about reviewer reports of the large size. Yup, it's larger than regular juicers, but I love it so much and use it so much that I've "found" space on my counter for it!If you love fresh citrus juice, for the flavor, for the health benefits, or both, Breville is the citrus juicer to buy! In fact, I'm considering splurging and buying one for each of my adult kids!
