My wife wanted fresh orange juice and I've been researching for a juicer. I've been juicing my oranges manually for years. I've been using my Tribest for about two weeks now and I've been very happy with it. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a citrus juicer.

Just used it today to juice a lot of lemons. I was making Ina's lemon bars and also lemonade. This machine is fun to use and saves so much time. The strainer catches all of the seed and any pulp. Cleanup is a breeze and I love that the cord folds up on the bottom for easy storage. I was going to store it, but it's so easy to use that I'm going to make myself some fresh orange juice tomorrow morning. I love this machine!

I just bought a property with quite a few orange and grapefruit trees. I found myself with baskets full of oranges and an old fashioned glass juicer. 20 minutes to squeeze a jug of OJ, no way! This little juicer does it in a few minutes. I like that the squeezing action is very smooth, no need to press down hard and this thing extracts all the juice and flesh from citrus fruits. The pulp and stones are collected in the top sieve section and the juice falls into a collecting bowl. You then pull down a little chute and the juice runs into your glass. I guess if you like lots of pulp, you could re sieve the pulp to remove stones.

I've been using this juicer for a few months now and it has served its purpose well. It has been used primarily for juicing oranges and grapefruit, and the CitriStar hasn't had any mechanical problems. The reamer consists of two parts: the lemon/lime insert which fits in the larger, outer piece. One of the main reasons that I chose this juicer is because of its sturdy, metal strainer, and it does a good job of keeping most of the pulp out of the juice. Also worth mentioning is that the juicer comes with plastic dust cover to help keep it clean when it sits on the counter or inside the cabinet, and it's been noticeably effective. Another useful design feature is the juicer's wide base and rubber feet which keep it steady on the counter-top while you're using it.
