I don't know about other citrus juicers because this is the first electric one I ever owned. I picked this one up new refurbished (yah-that's another story) for $12.95. I've read all the reviews about how bad this item is and I've seen the videos. After looking at the videos I saw the problem. These people have no idea what they're doing! Talk about a bunch of inept, brainless, "Mommy I can't do it" whiny idiots. This is a very simple machine, very uncomplicated. The reason I purchased this machine IS because of what I saw in the videos. For the price plus shipping you couldn't beat it with a stick. I love this thing! It beats the heck out of doing it the old fashion way... by hand. All you have to do is read the instructions, follow them and don't try to do something the machine wasn't designed to do... like juicing a watermelon. I just finished juicing 50 lbs. of lemons without a hitch. Sure the strainer had to be cleaned few times... its called pulp people. Some complain about the torque this thing has. Well, gee whiz, better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it. If it starts to move just hold the base. Oh and by-the-way, make sure the cord goes through the little notch in the back at the base and your kitchen counter is clean and dry. That way it won't move or hardly move if you really have to lean into it. Remember to take your time, let the machine do the work and you shouldn't have a problem. The reverse action is great! Some people complain about it because its unpredictable. "Mommy, MOMMY! It's to scary, I can't deal with it! SAVE ME!" Come on whiners, just be sure your hands and fruit are clean and dry when you use them, you shouldn't have a problem. Besides once you start using the machine you can pretty much figure out when and how you can make it reverse action. Other people don't like how small the spout is. IT'S A SPOUT! How big do you want the thing! Just make sure it's open and yes, some people tried juicing with the spout up! I used a 2 cup measuring cup to catch the juice with no problem. But let me tell you what I really like about this thing, it's the "washing machine spin". This citrus juicer will spin that strainer just like the spin cycle on the washing machine. You won't miss a drop! Others complain about too many parts to clean... all three on them. Come on, grow up and get a life! Sorry about the rant guys, I just get tired of those who critique an item just because they don't know how to use it correctly. Anyway, to sum everything up, I like this machine! Heck I may buy two more just because I can. If you look at the reviews, it's definitely not for everyone. Then again not everyone can walk, talk or chew bubble gum at the same time either.

I was in a hurry, and picked this up without reading the reviews. It is going back tomorrow, but I thought I'd at least add a pet peeve. I agree with the three biggest failings listed by the first few reviewers. At first, I decided I could "maybe" deal with it. But then, the one thing I did like about it - the fast spin out - stopped. The fast spin was helpful, and eked out an extra 10% of juice or so. And left the pulp in the basket less sloppy. With that gone, this thing is now going back! And I did NOT work it hard... just 64 oz of juice, and I did not press down hard, and let it rest between every cup!
Back to read the reviews for the other juicers...

This is a great juicer to have if you have houseguests.
Although at first I was disappointed in my Juicer because when I used it first thing in the morning it did not wake up my guests, it turned out this was because my guests slept with ear plugs, and was not because the juicer wasn't loud enough to wake them.
The gadget really paid off, however, when the moochers decided to make themselves fresh orange juice.
The first thing that happened was that they splattered themselves with orange pulp as soon as they placed the orange on the juicer. Next, they discovered, as I did when I first used the juicer, that it would only hold the juice for half an orange, and so, when they went to squeeze the second half, not only did they splatter themselves a second time, but juice and pulp started coming over the brim. Then, when they flicked the spout down so that juice would start coming into the glass while they juiced , they discovered, as I had, that it's almost impossible to position the glass under the spout in such a way that juice goes into the intended glass and not on the counter.
Of course, the best part of all was when, feeling guilty about the huge mess they had made, the ingrates decided to try and clean up. When they attempted to wash the juicer, only to find that it's almost impossible to get the pulp out of the strainer, they threw up their hands in anger, packed their bags (with plenty of my best silver) and vamoosed for good.
They say that houseguests are like fish; after three days they stink.
This Juicer stunk right out of the box.
I've since replaced it with a much better one.
Citristar by tribest. It's quiet, it's efficient, the juice goes into the glass and it cleans easily.
great way to start the day.

After struggling with this juicer - with all the symptoms others have commented on, I returned mine to a local dealer - THREE TIMES!! Each and every replacement was the same or worse. I felt so guilty for the store owner, that the fourth juicer simply went in the garbage. I wrote Cuisinart and they offered another replacement, but the rep said he knew of the problems but there was no fix in place. Makes you wonder about Cuisinart.

I just bought this yesterday. I went out and bought lemons, oranges, and limes today to try it out. The lemons juiced fine; without any problem. BUT, then I got to the oranges. The juicer would just stall out every time my husband or I exerted the slightest pressure onto this thing. I'm taking it back to the store tomorrow. I'm certainly not keeping it just to use it for juicing lemons, especially for $30. Cuisinart, didn't you fully test this thing out before throwing it out to the public?
