Impressively poorly designed,

You'd think it would be hard to mess up when designing an item that just juices halved citrus fruit, but they did. And how! There are three annoying features about this machine that interact to provide a supremely annoying user experience.
The first annoying feature about this juicer is that the pour spout juts out a mere 1/4 inch from the side of the machine. Since the machine is rounded and somewhat urn-shaped (fatter on top than on the bottom), you have very little space to get a glass or measuring cup near the body of the machine in order to catch the juice. Keep in mind that some measuring glasses can be rather thick, and you can easily see that this might be a bit of a problem.
Now for the other two problems. I should note that this machine has a decent amount of torque, and can indeed ream out a citrus fruit rather efficiently, leaving nothing but rind. The problem is the three little rubber feet on the bottom cannot stand up to the machine's torque. Push...Read more

1. The juicer doesn't stay in place. This often results in getting juice everywhere but the small container you need to use to hold the juice.
2. Motor is too weak. This will result in having to wait in between fruit to finish juicing.
3. Cup is too small and gets clogged after squeezing two oranges or one grapefruit. This result in having to rinse the top several times before continue juicing.
4. Pass through is too small and gets clogged easily. Juice either doesn't go through or stay in queue, overflowing the container you're using.
5. The top (where the citrus goes) isn't pointy enough, therefore it doesn't pierce the fruit you're juicing. This will result in a lot of waste because not all the pulp gets squeezed out.
6. You'll need to strain the juice or eat it with a spoon. Because of all the overflowing, you'll get a lot of pulp inside the juice. I mean a lot.
7. This product is so bad that even their marketing can't make...Read more

It's hard to keep the cup under the spout!,

This review is from: Cuisinart CCJ-100 Citrus Pro Juicer (Kitchen)
I used a friend's citrus juicer, and that got me excited enough to go out and buy one of my own. The store didn't have the model I was looking for, so I ended up with this one, because I didn't do enough research.It's "okay" at extracting juice from citrus fruits, but after about two oranges it clogs up, and it's necessary to clean out the pulp catcher. If you want to make more than 6-8 oz of juice at a time, it may be better to go with another model.The biggest problem I have with this juicer is that it turns--and sometimes spins--on the counter. Because it is important to keep the receptacle cup directly underneath the spout, this turning and spinning inevitably creates a mess, as the spout moves away from it's place over the cup. I find myself chasing the spout with the cup, or trying to hold onto the juicer to ensure that it stays in place. Because of it's aerodynamic design, though, it's hard to get a grip on it. Sometimes I feel like I need three hands--one...Read more
