Best Review on Toastmaster 345849 1109 Citrus Juicer
This is a great juicer if you're looking for a small appliance that's not an everyday player. This was purchased to make the large amount of manual labor needed to make ceviche(a traditional spanish seafood dish that involves lemon and orange juice)more manageable. I asked my wife to make it for my family and I was recruited (less volunteered, more drafted) to assist in the citrus squeezing. It is a labor of love because the recipe is delicious and taste bud envigorating but it is a royal pain to process the amount of fruit needed. I would eat this every week if carpel tunnel syndrome was not involved. After that experience I suggested that we get a product of modern convenience called a juicer. It has eliminated the negative aspects of this culinary delight and all that's left is the consuming of large quanities. My mother-in-law, who is a traditionalist and mocks people who take shortcuts, has given this little wonder her seal of approval. She tapped the juicer and said it was alright. "Praise from Caesar is praise indeed."
Ounce for ounce, it does a great job. You could easily pay more for a larger capacity juice extractor if it's something you use on a daily basis and don't mind cleaning all the parts. If your're making V-8 from scratch everyday, skip this model and dig deeper in your wallet. This is the ideal juicer for those times when a recipe requires it and you don't want to make a major investment for minor use.
I used this juicer at a bed and breakfast and decided to buy it. I frequently use it to make fresh orange juice. It works well and cleans easily.

I am very happy with my citrus juicer. It works well and is very easy to clean. I have a more expensive juicer for carrots and celery and other types of vegatable juices, but I find this juicer far superior when one wants to juice citrus. This juicer is an excellent value.

BalasHapuswell-designed, lots of little thoughts you would not have guessed would appear in an appliance: a place to wrap the cord underneath, a nook to hold the cord tight so it doesn't unravel, the beautiful curves of the shape, itself, easily cleanable, strong motor, flexible plastic. and then there is the price.the only things they could have done better on this little package are:1) the little rubber feet tend to pop out while juicing. (that's okay, they don't do much anyway. makes it easy to clean that area, anyway :P )2) even with the little rubber feet (which are shaped like suction cups on the bottom), the juicer still slips around on my counter while juicing. (juicing can get messy if you do a lot, and after a while, you've got juice on the counter, and then even with the rubber suction feet, juicer still slips around). sometimes i put it on my large cutting board to stop from slipping/rotating while juicing.alternatively, it might be nice if there were a way to select that you want the grinder motor to turn only in one direction or the other (instead of both, which it does randomly: this is a nice feature, but would be nice to turn it off, so you could bolster the handle up against something else (like microwave oven, etc.) so that juicer would not slip on counter. but if the motor turns in opposite direction every other time, you can't do this becuase juicer will slip and turn in the other direction.overall the best quality-to-price value ratio i've seen in an appliance in years. i thought when i bought it, "oh, heck, for the money i paid for it, if it breaks, i can just replace it wtih a new one," thinking something that cheap would break within a few months. it's been over a year, and still going strong..
BalasHapusI've been using mine consistently for the past 2 years. I love it so much, that I bought one for my brother as a gift, because he was looking for a small citrus juicer. They clean up easily and has a strong enough motor to juice any and all citrus. The price on Amazon is better than what I'd paid in the store for mine.
