Hamilton Beach Commercial932 Manual Citrus Juicer, Acid-Resistant Finish, Sure Grip Feet, Juice Lemons, Limes, Oranges, and Grapefruits, NSF Certified

Looking around at manual juicers, this model was expensive, but it seemed like good quality and less bulky than the others, so I chose it. After a few days of use, I'm very pleased. It's really easy to use and makes great juice. I was concerned about the size of the pressure cup and strainer cone which some reviewers thought was too small and which is not as wide diameter as some other models, but it has worked fine for me even with extra large-sized oranges and average-sized grapefruits. Maybe with extra large grapefruits, the cup is a little small, but it hasn't been an issue for me. The machine is very sturdy and the build is high quality. The only flaw I noticed is that the inside of the pressure cup is made of aluminum and didn't have the clean finished look of other parts. It seems to me that the manufacturer in China took a short cut there and it would have been better if that part was also stainless steel or chrome like the other exposed parts. However, since it only touches the skin of the fruits and is not visible, I don't think it matters much. All of the parts that need cleaning (4 pieces including the pressure cup) are easy to remove and clean. Overall, I highly recommend this juicer, especially considering its compact size and high quality!

This juicer is so well designed and built you will love squeezing juice. When you press the orange or whatever, the top of the squeezer comes down and there is absolutely no instability as you apply the pressure. It does an excellent job of getting all the juice and really does not let any pulp in. So for you pulp lovers that may be a problem. Although, you could probably rub some off of the stainless steel corer.There is a very handy catchall that easily swings in and out of way, below the squeezer, so you do not get drips on counter between squeezes.The parts that come in contact with what is being squeezed and the drip catchall are easily washed in sink or could be put in dishwasher. The rest can be wiped down with sponge, but in reality, it really has not required that.This is definitely a restaurant grade device and built and priced for that. However, I splurged and got it for home. Yes, it is now made in China, but the build is very, very good.It is tall, so you will have to find a suitable place to store, which again I am glad to do in order to have it.I am so glad to have purchased this and do not miss the loud electric spinning ones at all.

This has been a go to example of where paying for quality and simplicity really makes a big difference.I have several friends that are into making cocktails, and here are the reasons I’ve told them this should be on their must buy list for their home bar:-can juice an entire bag of lemons/limes/oranges in minutes (also switching to fresh squeezed citrus really makes all the difference in cocktails).-hand juicers are way too much effort, don’t fully squeeze all the juice out, and break if you use too much force.-I liked my electric juicer, but it’s a huge hassle to clean, and while faster than hand squeezing a large batch, it’s way slower than this type-this model in particular seems worth the extra money because of the stable base. I had a friend buy the Zulay version of this type of press and it tips over. He still likes it over hand squeezing, but cannot juice as many fruit nearly as fast as mine can.For me, this transformed the quality of drinks and food I make due to how quick and easy it has made it to use fresh citrus. Before I would buy the bottled crap because I just didn’t want to go through the effort of squeezing juice.I don’t tend to write many reviews, and when I do they tend to be more negative cautionary tales of problems I’ve had with products. It seems strange to me that I’d be passionate about a citrus squeezer, but I have fond memories of this really upping my game on my cocktail making hobby during the pandemic lockdown.

Been using this every day since I came back from Mexico October 9th. And I mean *every* day. One 8lb bag of oranges from wherever I can get 'em (not so easy in the NE). This unit is well constructed and works almost flawlessly. It is indeed quite easy to clean - just 4 pieces and you don't even need soap just fingers and water.It gets about 95% of the juice out of an orange. If the orange is too large, however, like those horrible navels from Chile, it's very difficult to use in this press. The sides of the peel get cut up by the top piece squeezing down and then not only do you get that bitter rind oil that gets squeezed out but then the peel gets stuck inside. Stick to medium sized navels and you will be fine. As others have pointed out doing grapefruits will not work. As a work around I had to cut a slice out of the middle which made the whole process more tedious and also more juice waste from extra cutting.Also the base is not the sturdiest thing in the world. I know they tried to conserve space and weight by making it as small and compact as possible...but I think they might have been better off if they had made a solid base. Since the handle is off to the right side the unit always wants to twist and thus teeters on the 4 rubber pads.The other slightly annoying thing is the drip cup often times will just slam into your container. If the container is somewhat filled it's not a problem but it did flip over once at the beginning of juicing which was massively annoying.I do like the fact that all parts are serviceable. I plan on using it more often than most people. I also really like the sieve cup - that thing is solid stainless steel and you'd have to be really careless to break it.
