OrangeX OJex Juicer, White

Bought this for my Sister in Law in Florida, well over 10 years ago, she still uses it nearly every day!

This juicer worked amazing, for all of 20 minutes before it broke. Sent it back to Amazon and replaced for a new one, which broke within the first 10 minutes. While it looks sturdy, there are flaws in the metal and it's very fragile. Breaking once, okay.. but twice before even 30 minutes of use is unacceptable. This item should be discontinued immediately.

While it's very sturdy and low counter profile, the oranges seem to split from the force of the top, needing to be hand finished to juice the pulp. Maybe I've assembled it wrong, but there was no parts installation included

Not only do I own this juicer, but for four years, I sold it, so I feel quite qualified to write this review.For a small, manual juicer, this is a heavy item (cast iron). It's very easy to clean; anyone who disagrees has obviously never used an electric juicer with sharp, complex or electric moving parts (this juicer has none of those things). It's a simple machine with only three removable pieces: the strainer, the juice funnel and the hard resin base that the juice receptacle (your glass) sits on. It does have suction cups that hold it in place, but it definitely sticks better to some surfaces than others (sticks best to granite or manufactured quartz, pretty well on laminate, not so well on wood countertops). The lever operates easily, and once you have the handle pressed completely down--it's not much of a struggle--it will extract juice to the point of the fruit being almost wrung dry. It works on citrus fruits as small as key limes and as large as grapefruits.Worth noting: when pressing down on the extraction handle, I always put my other hand on top of the juicer, for stability, just in case (I have formica countertops). Also, you can't use a really tall glass; there's about a 6 inch clearance between the base and the spout. Overall, I enjoy this juicer and use it more often than my Breville Extractor, which, while fabulous, is a hateful machine to clean.

This is my first review. All the negative reviews have prompted me to do so. I am here to order another Orange X juicer for my father. I have had one for myself for five years. While all of the complaints I have read about are true to some degree I feel they are grossly overstated. I find mine easy to clean (much more so than any electric I have had). The tilting I hardly notice (would not have thought of except for these reviews so it can't be that bad). My biggest complaint would be the device locking up after pressing the fruit. It's not that bad just frustrating when I'm in a hurry. I just have to wiggle the handle around until it frees up. All in all I find it's speed both in juicing and clean up a big plus for someone on the go (I keep mine on the counter, use it daily and have occasionally juiced a gallon at a time) and no problems with durability. Four stars because it is not perfect but it is very good and the best manual juicer out there.P.S. When I was in construction we joked about someone needing to initiate their new hammer by smacking themselves really good with it. This almost always occurred as a result of the person not being used to the feel of the new hammer. It just took a while for them to adjust to the difference. It is my opinion that is all that is required for you to enjoy your Orange X. You just have to practice with it for a while before you get the hang of it. Then you'll be juicing like pro.

This is my second Juicer. This one is being used by employees at my company. Oranges/grapefruits are given to us and nothing goes to waste.

If you enjoy freeze squeezed juice this manual juicer works very well and requires minimal clean up. Very heavy so doesn't slide around on the counter.

The product worked OK for about 2 months, although it was rather small so a large orange would have to be cut in half. After two months to thing completely fell apart, I'm talking the bolts inside of it totally snapped with an orange stuck in it. Would not recommend to anyone.
