 Great juice - Needy design Jan 14, 2011
By Gary Tabor
"SmallBoater"
Basically a competent juicer that does it's job with a little help ... see below
I wanted a juicer for a small family that would fit into our black/stainless kitchen. This guy does that in a friendly, R2D2 kind of way.
However, it also comes with two problems that are probably common to all citrus juicers that share two popular features; A spout with a valve and the automatic start feature.
The tip-up spout is nice, but it will clog several times while juicing enough oranges to fill two small juice glasses. One or both of the following will always get the juices flowing again: keep juicing and the added pressure will break the jam or cycle the spout up and down.
Unit will often stop working due to seeds getting trapped under reamer. If seed gets trapped, then reamer can't be pushed down to activate motor. Solution is to remove reamer and clear seeds from strainer. You can avoid seed jams by slowly lifting reamed fruit and holding position as soon as motor shuts off and waiting for reamer to stop. Once reamer has stopped spinning then fully remove fruit.
Personally, I would prefer a unit that had neither the valve nor the auto start feature as they seem to just cause problems without adding value.
Another observation: the large and small reamers are a little tricky to separate and the trick isn't covered in the manual. Hold the small reamer by the two projections that spin the seeds and pulp. With your other hand, using thumb and fore finger, pinch the larger reamer where the two projections project out and pull your hands apart. Voila!
Finally, this is our second Toastess. The first arrived all busted-up in undamaged packaging. Definitely save your packaging until after you've used it a few times.

Attractive and efficient Mar 25, 2010
By G. Gialis
I bought this model of juicer after manually juicing tons of citrus from my dad's farm. I chose this model for it's attractiveness since I knew it would be left out on my countertop. It is simple to use and convenient and looks nice. It is fairly loud, however, and the spout where the juice comes out gets clogged occasionally and has to be unplugged. It can sometimes be unclogged by simply clicking the spout up and down. The spout can be pushed up to lock it closed and prevent the juice from coming out until you put a container under it. It comes apart very easily and is easy to wash. The only other thing I would say is that the spout could be a little higher so that you can fit taller containers underneath it. It sure beats the hassle I had been going through manually juicing and is way faster!

 A pleasant surprise Sep 27, 2010
By Anon
"wood_dragon"
This citrus juicer delivers on its promise and makes short work of juicing lemons and oranges.
Compared to similar products with hundreds of reviews, I was hesitant to purchase based on four evaluations. Glad I didn't follow the herd this time. Compact, efficient, and well designed, this juicer meets all my requirements.
FYI, both reamers were included in the packaging. The smaller size was nested within the larger one. Squeezing above the tabs releases the hidden cone as noted in the instructions.

UPDATE Jun 06, 2010
By Lyle French
UPDATE 25 Ocotber: The unit has already demonstrated a problem. As the motor turns and you press down there is a loud clicking noise as it turns. Seems that its days are numbered. We use it every day for 2 glasses - I expected a longer life!
Old review: Really works great and looks good. Very, very happy with this purchase. Better than our our B&D model.

Great Juicer!! Apr 22, 2010
By Jane Castellani
This juicer is really well made and easy to use - just press and go!! I really enjoy the fresh squeezed juice in the mornings - whether it's a single glass or a whole pitcher for the family. I live in Florida and have several citrus trees growing in my yard so we use this alot at harvest time.
