Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Progressive International Citrus Juicer
Customer Review: Low-cost Citrus Juicer
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a lemon and lime juicer, something easy to use and cheap. This item fits the bill wonderfully.
It's three pieces. The bottom cup has a little spout on it. It also has a non-skid ring on the bottom to help prevent splippage. The top and bottom cups are graduated with Tbls, ml, and Cups measurements. All three pieces fit very well together and disassemble easily. Also, the manufacturer states that this is dishwasher safe, though I hand-wash mine.
My mother in law has already made lots and lots of bottles of her "healthy" style lemonade with this contraption. When you're done, it fits easily into a tall drawer/cubbard.
It is made entirely out of plastic, so we'll see how long this thing lasts, though I personally only plan to use it infrequently.
All in all, I feel like I got a really good value at ~$5, especially compared to all these other more expensive juicers that may or may not juice all that well.
Customer Review: Juicer has some good features, some not-so-good
Summary: 3 Stars
- This juicer is inexpensive, doesn't take up much space in the cupboard, is very easy to clean, and it does its job fairly competently. The vertical ridges on this juicer are a little sharper than on many others, and this speeds up the process of getting at the whole of the pulp and juice. There's a ring of silicone-like rubber on the bottom, and this keeps it from sliding around on the counter while you're doing the juicing. This is important-- you have to use this on a level surface, because the spouted reservoir is so small, and if you tip it while you're juicing, some juice spills out of the spout. The base snaps securely to the ridged juicer-part, and this helps. But the top-cover can't be used as the reservoir, and this is the main shortcoming of this item.
- I'm not thrilled with the design of this juicer, but I'm not going to return it, either. It's significantly better than the one I bought at the supermarket.
Customer Review: Good Juicer
Summary: 4 Stars
This Juicer is good, nothing fancy. It is small, stores easy, and cleans easy. What I liked about the juicer is how easy it is to use; literally juices my lemons dry. It does not juice limes very well b/c limes are smaller and have a tougher outer shell. The domed lid does not add to the functionality of the juicer at all, it is only used to measure a precise quanity if you're cooking for example.
What I did not like about the juicer is that it is difficult to hold down sometimes, a little slippery. The pulp collects in the reservoir as it's supposed to, but most times it takes out too much pulp--and there's a lot of juice left in the pulp. so if you're like me, I add the pulp to my lemonade since I love pulp.
Overall, this juicer is a handy little tool. I love using it and would recommend you purchase it also. What more can you expect for something under 10 dollars? Good buy.
Customer Review: doesn't hold much
Summary: 2 Stars
this juicer only can be used with the small bottom part. i thought the larger dome side could be used interchangeably, but i think it is really just a cover for the reamer portion of the juicer. there is no lip on it to fit with the dome. the base of the juicer holds up to 1/4 cup. it has a spout, but if you are making something like pitchers of lemonade this is not sufficient for it unless you have a lot of time on your hands. The reamer part is also ver wide and tall and the skimmer holes are narrow and clog up with pulp whil the juice squirts all over the place. for the money, it does a fair job, but i am disappointed. it has tipped over a few times too because the base is so shallow. i do not recommend this product.Customer Review: Best of Breed (not a lemon)
Summary: 5 Stars
It's so simple, even I could have thought of it. No modern gadgetry--just a traditional juicer that's been designed to provide the most juice for the least amount of effort. The arch and grooves are shaped just right, the base is secure, and the dome--while not especially useful as a "measuring cup"--assures things don't get sprayed all over the place (and person) after the juice has been secured in the base. This takes the sting, some of the mess, and most of the work out of putting the squeeze on 5-6 lemons.
Wish all the gadgets I ordered were this inexpensive and efficient.
