Cuisinart Pulp Control Citrus Juicer, Orange Juicer Squeezer and Lemon Squeezer with 3 Pulp Control Settings, Accommodates Small Limes and Large Grapefruits, CCJ-500P1, Black/Stainless Steel

Love this juicer. It's small, inexpensive and works great, easy to use. I'm very happy with it.

I use this juicer almost daily and really like it. The pulp control is great, the noise level is minimal, and it works well for oranges and lemons. It’s much faster than juicing by hand, which is why I reach for it so often. Everything comes apart easily, making cleanup simple. If you like fresh juice or add lemon to your water daily, this is a solid, no-frills juicer to have.

Well, after two years of seasonal use, this juice press finally went into what others have playfully referred as "permanent spin mode." Pulp flying everywhere, myself cursing to the sky, and then acquiescing, sinking to my knees to clean up the mess. I haven't reached out to Cuisinart yet. I'm not interested in paying an additional $20 to send this one back and get a replacement. It'd save me what, about $10 maybe on just outright buying a new one? However, given the price point I may simply buy a new disposable Cuisinart press to replace this one. And hope it gives me another couple years. I see that there are refurbs available. Which means that if I take this one apart, I may figure it out and fix it myself for free. As for it's usefulness...it works great!! We have a huge orange tree outside. We also have a huge masticating fruit juicer which is a bear-and-a-half to clean. I much prefer to use this Cuisinart press because it's easier all the way around. Easier to clean, especially. At this price point, roughly 25 bucks, it's perfect. Consider that if you want to use a larger masticating juicer, that you need to remove the bitter outer peel. So that's either a bunch of slicing on each orange, or you need a professional automated peeler, which can run some bucks, or you can peel the oranges by hand. Any way you go, you're looking at mucho additional work before you get to the juicing part. With the Cuisinart, just slice your oranges in half and press em. Done. Yum!

Terrific citrus juicer! I had a hankering for fresh OJ this week and bought this on a whim. The price is right and I used it as soon as it arrived. It worked well, was not too noisy and cleaned up very easily. It's plenty powerful enough to get every drop. This would work really well on lemons and with grapefruits, I would think you'd just have to move the half around a bit to get all the areas. You have to pop the spout down to get the juice to flow, and I think some of the bad reviewers here didn't figure that out. Popped up and it holds the juice in a reservoir. Pretty handy. I'm not a huge fan of plastic, but I see no other way this can be produced at this price. Overall, a well-spent $30.

Worth every penny. Perfect for citrus. Cleanup is a breeze. Just get it, you won’t be disappointed.

The juicer I had before was inexpensive and worked fine for a while. I wanted to find a juicer that would last longer even though it is used often. This one was recommended to me and has been great! I am very happy with this purchase.

Have used this Citrus juicer many times over the last couple of months. Juiced hundreds of lemons, oranges and grapefruit. Ran it for several hours at a time with no problems. I wish I had bought this years ago rather than hand squeezing my citrus in the past.

I’ve never written a product review before, but I just had to share my experience. I have an orange tree over two stories tall, and every year I let hundreds of oranges go to waste because I don’t eat them—they just fall to the ground for the gardeners to clean up. This year, determined not to be wasteful and as a big fan of orange juice, I bought a juicer. I trust Cuisinart products, and for lemons and limes, this juicer is fantastic—clean, effective, and fast. My fridge is stocked with mason jars of fresh lemon and lime juice for recipes. But when it comes to oranges, this machine struggles. If you have a big job, invest in a heavy-duty or commercial-grade model. The pulp control doesn’t work (or maybe my oranges are extra pulpy), and even on the low pulp setting, you still need a fine strainer. You can only juice two or three oranges before stopping to clean it, and the pulp goes everywhere—on the counters, into the food compactor, even under your nails if you have long ones. Straining is messy and time-consuming. Still, I’m glad I bought the juicer, glad I’m collecting oranges daily, and thrilled to enjoy the best fresh-squeezed orange juice from my tree planted in 1975. There’s truly nothing like it.

Most important. It’s quiet. You can make juice while people sleep. It’s not that loud. A gentle whirl hum. Cleaning is okay. Just take the time to get the hang on how to rinse. Stop. Check. Rinse. So that you don’t miss a spot. The tray is black. It does make it hard to see pulp stuck on. Always wash it right away as soon as you are done making juice. Takes maybe 40-70 seconds. Everything comes apart one handed. And washing it is easy and quick Doesn’t require much strength to operate. Does oranges limes lemons grapefruit and anything else really that’s pulpy and round. You could probably juice Pomegranate too if you tried😆 You do need to scoop out the pulp every so often. Either into your cup or trash. If you’re juicing more than 2 fruits as the tray doesn’t let through all the pulp even on the largest setting. You’ll find the tray collects a lot of juice. You can also use the spin cycle and reduce the juice in the tray before squeezing more if you don’t want to wash a spoon etc. Juice stays cold during squeezing.

The one I received was faulty - I was able to return it and received a refund.

Es un exprimidor bastante útil , justo lo que necesitaba, me hace el trabajo de exprimir mis cítricos más fácil, le saca el jugo a las naranjas hasta la última gota, ya que gira en los dos sentidos, la limpieza del exprimidor es muy sencilla, ya que el desensamble y ensamble es muy simple, además la marca Cuisinart es muy confiable y recomendable.

El exprimidor es muy bonito además que cumple perfectamente su función!! Casi no hace ruido al utilizarlo, no se calienta demasiado el motor y me encanta usarlo pues es fácil de lavar. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. Lo recibimos en un par de días pues estábamos en Chiapas pero llegó sin problemas y cuando dijeron que lo entregarían.

This is my second juicer of this kind. The first one I bought 7/8 ish years ago! I juice a lot of lemons so it’s not used everyday, more like once a month. I think it’s super easy to use and easy to clean. Works great for what I need it for.
