Simple to operate and easy to clean, this mechanical device quickly and easily presses juice from all citrus fruits. It's made of enameled iron so it's heavy and stable and has suction feet for further insurance against sliding during use. A three-step process--lifting the handle, placing half a fruit on the conical strainer, pulling the lever--is all that's needed to produce a flow of juice into a container on the cup rest beneath the juicer's head. The strainer and basket are made of 18/10 stainless steel. Like the plastic cup rest and the cone that presses against the top of a fruit, the strainer and basket remove with a twist and are dishwasher-safe. The housing wipes clean with a damp cloth. Shapely and compact, the juicer measures 10 inches high, 8 inches wide (including the handle with its rubber grip), and 11 inches deep (including the handle). It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

36:T568,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 pre
