Review on Vollum Hand Press Manual Citrus Juicer -Hand Juicer Citrus Squeezer Commercial Grade Home Orange Juice Squeezer For Oranges, Lemons, Limes, Grapefruits And More - Stainless Steel And Cast Iron -Non-Skid Suction Cup Base - 15 Inch - Red by Allison Carpenter

Update 2: Forget the rubber band. They break too easily. I've done this enough to know that effective use of this type of juicer is procedural. Cut up all of the pieces you intend to juice beforehand. Then your squeezing hand never needs to leave the lever and the other hand can feed new pieces and remove the old. Keep the lever in the down position at all other times and you won't have a problem. Faster that way too.Update: I solved the floppy handle issue with a rubber band. Put it over the top of the handle down to the inflection point and behind the support post. Handle stays up and you won't have to remove the band to use it. Juicing oranges aren't peaking yet. Added limes and the combination is delicious.This is a pretty awesome looking beast and my inclination was to like it. I bought the larger model to fit taller containers underneath and they do fit. Think 32 ounce canning jars, Nutribullet glasses large and small, etc. Also the base is enormous and stable. No need for suction cups. The arm does tend to flop down so be careful. There has to be an easy fix for. Seems to be a problem with all of these devices. What about results?My first attempt was with a hard green apple because I didn't have any oranges. I tried to juice it in two halves like it shows with the oranges but that didn't work well. Finally smashed it down all the way, but the force pulled the pressing cone off center and I had to adjust it so it wouldn't hit the lower rim. Crushing was not complete and what looked like apple sauce gathered under the lower part holding juice from draining. This might work with apples but you have to dice them into smaller pieces. Too much trouble and not the best way to do apples.Next came limes. Worked perfectly extracting nearly all the juice. Lifting the lever slightly and repressing several times releases extra juice. After that I tried naval oranges. These are better eaten whole. Not a lot of juice there either. Juicing type oranges and grapefruit should work great. Looking forward to that.One warning is keep your fingers clear of the presser. I got into a bad habit with the apple pieces trying to hold them in place until the presser secured them. Not much room for fingers and you don't want the handle flopping down with your fingers in there. No harm done but holding pieces with your fingers is a bad idea.Warnings aside, this works great for its intended purpose.
