Zulay Kitchen Cast Iron Juicer - Easy-to-Clean Heavy-Duty Manual Juicer, Professional Citrus Juicer - Stainless Steel Lemon Squeezer - Manual Citrus Press & Orange Squeezer - Orange Juicer (Black)

FINALLY! I have wanted one of these devices for about a year after seeing one on a commercial (not for the product, but for a pharma advertisement, lol, the things we notice in the weirdest places). Well, I finally had to buy one as we are juicing so many lemons and now oranges and the electronic juicer that I purchased was just not getting all of the juice out of the fruit. Enter Zulay Kitchen. After viewing many juicers and reading 100's of reviews, I settled on Zulay and am very happy that I did. I will start by saying that this juicer is high quality and very strong as well as very well made. Keep in mind, this is not for the weak or may not be great for people with joint problems or pain in their wrists. It takes a little strength for it to be totally effective. I think people with joint issues or pain can still use it because it works so well and they can use their body weight as leverage to help push the plunger down. I use pressure to keep it against the back splash on my counter and that helps with the leverage of pushing the plunger down. Ideally, a crafty person, such as myself, will eventually find a way to mount this so it remains completely stationary, but that will come at a later time. So, that all being said, now let's discuss results. The results are the fact that this juicer get every bit of the juice out of the fruit. 3 oranges gave me 2 - 8oz cups of juice and it took six in the electronic juicer for the same amount (results are not guaranteed, keeping in mind that some oranges are just not as juicy as others and also, be mindful of the fruit size that you intend to juice). The electronic juicer I am speaking of is one that turns when you push the fruit down on it. I think it wastes juice by not pulverizing the pulp. So, I've done lemons, oranges and grapefruits and each time, it worked flawlessly. It cleans up very easily and looks kinda cool on your counter top. Mine is black and and stainless steel and looks great with the gray granite. As you can see in the picture, I have strainers to filter the pulp because this works so well. If you don't like pulp, get these screens to keep near by, they work great to remove the pulp. Also, it cleans up very very easily. Last but not least, a Pyrex 2 cup measuring cup fit perfectly under to catch the juice. I would recommend purchasing this product.

This by far is the best mechanical juicer I have ever used. I had been using an electric juicer that did a pretty good job but required constant pulp and seed removal from the basket and required a lot of straining to get rid of the pulp in the juice. I bought this one and did a side-by-side comparison. This juicer squeezed the same amount of juice in seconds hardly any pulp in the juice and I processed 10 lbs of fruit never had to clean the strainer once. It's quick and built like a tank. You will not be unhappy with this product.

Best purchase for anyone who doesn’t want to use elbow grease or just don’t have the strength anymore to juice by hand. It is easy to clean. It is very sturdy and a little bit heavy. We use this to make lemon juice, lime juice, and orange juice., if you’re House uses a lot of citrus juice, this is a very good purchase for your home. It makes prep work much easier and faster. If you have child(ren) and they love lemonade, this makes the best lemonade or limeade. You can control the sugar that is put in so that you don’t have to buy it at the store!

After we burned through 3 electric juicers, we decided to try this one. It's terrific. Takes and little muscle on the bigger grapefruits but works really well. We've only had it about a month but have used it almost every day and I believe it will hold up under daily use for a long time.

I got this because my mom convinced me based on this one sponsor on Facebook. Once my mom got hers I noticed she was struggling. I’m like oh my mom is weak 😂😅 I’m like there no reason she’s struggling as much. I got it and I saw exactly why she was struggling when you get it. LUBE WITH OIL ( vegetable oil worked fine) by doing this it made it way easier to use and less problems it kept shifting and getting stuck when pressing the handle down. Once I did that it was like butter. I was able to extract all the juice from my items without extracting my back. It is conveniently small to to fit on my counter in a small pinch by the kitchen aid and ice maker. It is EXTREMELY sturdy and built to last. The only reason it loses a star is because it offers an e book once you register the product but the website doesn’t work 🥴 not to mention it didn’t come with any maintenance for the item.

Love this juicer.I have electric one as well and find it gets more juice with some veggies and fruits however the clean up having more parts needing cleaning takes longer. This juicer is a simple 30 second cleaning and ready for next juicing. The company is solid. I had an issue and it was corrected promptly. I love the product and the companies business practices what else is there

Living in Tucson we have fresh citrus available much of the year and when it’s there on the tree, picking it is not the problem. It’s peeling. I have wrecked my fingernails and tried several different fruit peeling gadgets but the benefit of the delicious fresh juice has eluded me, with oranges going to waste, even when I have been able to give some away. We either have no oranges, when it’s not the season, or we have so many they go to waste. Enter the non-electric hand operated juice press! Suddenly the rate limiting step in the processing of fresh oranges into something fresh sweet and delightful can be accomplished with ease. And no more tearing up the thumbnail beds or fumbling around with the cute little plastic peelers that end up squeezing half the juice out of the fruit while you’re trying to maneuver, which kind of defeats the purpose. I love this juicer. It’s easy to clean. There is one small thing to know about. Well, two. I bought the black one. There is something about this enamel (the enamel part does not touch the fruit at all, that’s protected from the coated finish) but there is something about the smell of this item, it reminds me of an electrical appliance that has gotten too hot. Like burning plastic. And this is 100% hand operated. The offgassing, if you can call it that has diminished over the past 3 weeks since I opened the box. Now it’s barely noticeable. I think it kind of smelled like burning electrical / plastic at first, then it kind of smelled like roof tar after a few days and now it almost smells like nothing. It’s only there for the first couple weeks. Do NOT let this report of a bad smell on the body of the device (not the part touching the fruit, just the parts touching everything else) …. Don’t let it stop you from buying this little kitchen friend. The smell goes away by itself. The useful device is a worthy element in a simple health-striving kitchen. Item number two - cleaning this thing… to clean this thing, simply remove the two shiny metal parts that can be rinsed and or washed in a tub of normal dishwater. (Could go in the dishwasher too I imagine). Wait you say, how do you get these two shiny parts unstuck from eachother for cleaning? Observe carefully there is a little slot in the one and a tab in the other. Just rotate the middle part inside the outer part and it slips out easily. If you don’t see this feature (I wear glasses so I miss things sometimes) it would be easy to think the two soap and water washable shiny parts this SOB have become jammed and impossibly stuck together. Once you catch on this tab - slot fitting feature you discover it’s incredibly easy to clean. The whole device can be rinsed off in the sink and dried with a towel or air dried. If we lose electricity from time to time we still have orange juice. The simplicity is astonishing and it’s a beautifully designed piece of artwork for those who appreciate simplicity, low tech and high function. I think the price is reasonable and I wish I had gotten myself one of these sooner.

Perfect for my needs. I like fresh orange juice and a lot of lemon in my tea. This makes the process easy. Not small, but I didn't expect it to be. Very easy to use. Built like a tank. Heavy, but that keeps it upright. No noise. Just love how quickly the juice comes out. Doesn't hurt my poor, aging hands. Great product! Worth the price. Just be careful lifting it! It does fit pretty easily into the odd corner.
