Breville Citrus Press vs Dash Go Dual

None of this obviates the need for a stronger motor. And my first juicer failed completely. Who know how long the current edition will last?

Have also juiced lemons for lemonade and it’s excellent at that. A couple of tips - for oranges, the reamer’s torpedo shape doesn’t quite match the generally domed shape of an orange half, so it’s a good idea to be careful to not press down too much when juicing, as the tip can dig into the pith and make for a bitter juice. Instead I sort of feel when the tip is getting to the top, and then use both hands to squeeze the sides onto the reamer. In future models it would be helpful, in my view, if the reamer were a little more dome-shaped for oranges and other round fruits

The machine is very easy to clean. All of the pieces are easy to remove and you just rinse them under the faucet. It takes a little more than a minute to clean the machine - it's amazingly well designed. 5

I only have one complaint, and that is cleaning the strainer part of the juicer. There are two parts that snap together and you can adjust the holes to allow pulp or have "pulpless" juice. It is hard for me to get the pieces apart to clean them. You have to press in three tabs and pull apart the pieces and that is hard for me with smaller hands

I'd also ask for a way to attach the receiving container so it can't slip away. I'd ask for it somehow to take up less storage space. I'd ask it to grind the pump a bit so as to get more in the juice. OK, while I'm at it, I'd ask for it to cut the fruit and put it on the reamer for me, then take out the garbage

The strainers snap together, and separating them for cleaning is not intuitive. Look on the bottom strainer for three tabs, which must be pushed toward the center in order to release the two pieces. You may have to go around several times in order to make this happen.

I have two other citrus juicers, including one with a handle, and a Cusinart I just got which has no handle. The Breville costs way more than the Cuisinar ($24)t, and probably doesn't juice much better than the Big Boss ($116), but the Breville feels so much better to operate, a superior experience, intangible advantages, like an expensive sports car. I'll keep the Big Boss as an emergency back-up, but the Cuisinart, no handle, is strictly for those who don't care about giving their palm an uncomfortable work-out, or who think it's not worth the dough to get a handle juicer.

Wow! Great little juicer! Much better than the old electric version I remember using- this thing is powerful- cute in my kitchen, and is easy on my arthritic, carpal tunnel hands- really great item
