Review on 🍊 Kai DH3017ENG Select 100 Grapefruit/Orange Squeezer: Effortlessly Extract Fresh Juice with Precision by Steve Willis

This is a combined review of two citrus juicers: Japanese Plastic Grapefruit Lemon Lime Squeezer #1410 (ASIN: B004K6TIM6) and Kai DH3017ENG Select 100 Grapefruit/Orange Juicer BeSI0WSIL9). I have owned a Japanese plastic juicer for three months and Kai for two months. I've used one or both daily and also used a traditional glass juicer for comparison. The Kai and the Japanese plastic are excellent, although after a few months of use the Kai is more suited to my needs. I make most of my juice from navel oranges, for which Kai is definitely better. However, when I used Valencia oranges, a plastic Japanese juicer worked better. I haven't tried lemons or grapefruits, but in my experience, if you're juicing from oranges or grapefruits, Kai is your best bet, and if you're juicing from smaller fruits, Japanese plastic is your best bet. I gave Kai five stars because he's near perfect at what he does. My only gripe is that it doesn't have much juice in it, but for a person like me that's not a problem. I only gave the Japanese plastic four stars. This is mainly due to the extra serving for juicing larger fruits like grapefruit. There are several problems with it, apart from one small annoyance related to the need to clean an extra part. The problems are: 1) the top is smooth, making it difficult to start juicing a large fruit and harder once you get to the top of the fruit, and 2) it's too sharp and stretches . too many orange parts that I don't need in my juice. Overall, however, this is a great juicer, especially for the price I paid (around $5.20). break and cause inconvenience during cleaning. My previous experience with manual juicers has only been with a traditional glass juicer, which I knew I didn't want to use. At around $26, the Kai seemed outrageously expensive for something I was afraid couldn't do any better than old glass juicers, so I ordered the plastic Japanese juice first because it's so cheap. It was so much better than a glass juicer that I went ahead and ordered a Kai. I've tried juicing navel oranges from both a traditional glass and Kai and Japanese plastic. I found two issues with the glass juicer: 1) the combs weren't high enough and sharp enough to really get the job done, and 2) there wasn't enough depth to squeeze the juice out of a large orange. A glass juicer might work for lemons or limes, but definitely not navel oranges. My recommendation: If you're juicing lemons, limes, or small oranges, buy a Japanese plastic juicer. This is an amazing deal for less than $6. If you're using juice from larger fruits, use Kai. This is a ceramic gem that will last you a lifetime (if you don't drop or break it). If you love both types of fruit, buy both. I did and I'm glad I did.
