Hamilton Beach 66333 Fresh Mix 2-Cup Citrus Juicer



Easy way to drink your citrus fruits
This juicer was easy to use right out of the box. The four suction cups on the base hold the juicer steady on the counter while the juicer is working. The unit comes with two plastic reamers (small one for limes, lemons, etc., and a large one for grapefruit, oranges, etc.) that snap together for easy usage and storage. I've only used this juicer for juicing citrus, but the unit can also be used for mixing fresh salad dressings and marinades. The plastic carafe has two recipes printed on one side (citrus marinade and citrus vinaigrette) and liquid measurements printed on the other side (1/4 cup through 2 cups, and 50 ml through 500 ml). The parts are advertised as dishwasher safe, but I've been washing the parts by hand.

The motor in this juicer works well for a small kitchen appliance. I juiced almost two bags of oranges with this juicer one morning and had no problems with the motor overheating or failing. If you're wondering just how much fruit it takes to make 1 cup of...

I Love This!
Every day I would juice 2 oranges, 1 lemon and 1 lime by hand to make a 40 ounce container of citrus 'agua de fresca'. It took quite a while to juice, play with the pulp to try to get all the juice to flow throw the screen, then try to juice the rest of the citrus. I went on a search for an electric citrus juicer. I wanted small, easy to use and low cost. I looked at a few and decided on this one, even though the unfavorable review. Juiced all the citrus very quickly (compared to hand) and it got all of the juices out and hardly left anything behind except the rinds. If you stop pressing, the mechanism then turns the reamer the opposite direction. As it turns, it clears the pulp so the juices keep flowing into it's own measuring cup. I was able to get a lot more juice than doing it by hand. It comes with 2 reamer sizes, I use the large one to juice the oranges, then take it off and the small one is already on the machine (the large sits on top of the small) so it's ready to go...

Super performance and it's affordable
Great design and features!
Works wonderfully.
I bought one for myself and a friend and we both love it.
No complaints so far :)
Suctions super well to the counter which also impressed me - most things I have with suction cups don't.
Gets every last drop from the fruit!
