KitchenAid JE Citrus Juicer Attachment

I've used this several times and it works quite well. I like it better than using the old fashion hand squeezer which gets old fast. We drink Margaritas and other cocktails and use at least two to three bags of limes. Hand squeezing is no fun but with the KitchenAid JE attachment juicing makes this process so much easier. I'm so glad I decided to purchase this inexpensive attachment and I'm clueless why I didn't do it sooner. You do have to apply pressure to the lime or lemon on the head of the juicer but that's no hard work in comparison to using a hand squeezer. The KitchenAid does most of the work!

Fits perfectly and works great.

I love gadgets. Honestly, they make life easier. This gets all the way down to the rind and so it gets more juice, quicker and dare I say it, easier, than other juicers I've used. The only issue I've ever had is the piece that catches the pips/seeds is tricky and sometimes slips off. It's a great strainer so I can easily get the stuff back out but it's annoying when it happens. I have to really make sure it's on there and even then it can come off. I still love this gadget and if something happened to it, I would replace it. I hope they fix that problem though it seems like I can't be the only one it happens to.

Works great and quickly juices large citrus. It really cleans out the fruit so the yield is good -- and yield is best if the fruit is at room temperature (like most citrus tools). The included screen tends to fill with pulp after 4-5 orange halves or 2-3 grapefruit halves, which makes sense. I have not tried with lemons or limes. You might want to run the juice through a tea strainer, too, depending on your taste.Assembly is trivial -- aside from getting out the stand mixer if it's not on your countertop already -- just make sure the metal bit that holds the reamer is inserted all the way in (the sound and reduced yield will tell you that something is wrong).It's best for large batches. While assembly is easy like I mentioned, juicing one piece of citrus (for breakfast maybe) is probably best accomplished either with something like the RSVP citrus juicer (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUEZA1I/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that sits perfectly on a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup or, for a handful of lemons and limes, something like the Chef'n FreshForce (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002XOB0P0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) which I highly recommend (don't buy any other reamer for small citrus, you'll be wasting your time and money). All of that said, getting through a large volume of oranges or grapefruits is fast, produces a lot of juice, and just requires an occasional cleaning out of the screen.

Just as described and makes squeezing fresh oranges so much easier! I like to make a batch and leave the fresh squeezed orange juice in a pitcher in the fridge - it doesn't last long. Size is suitable for oranges and large enough for grapefruits. The material is hard plastic, so I'm not afraid of pushing down hard as it spins to quickly squeeze. Overall, a great item if you have a family who prefers fresh squeezed orange juice!

I was hesitant with some of the negative reviews but this attachment works so well. Easy to install. Drip tray catches most and cleans the fruit to just the peel.

I always read the lowest score reviews first as many are often user errors, personal preferences etc. But after using this once I agree with the low scores. It is very awkward to juice vertically. Juice definitely does run down your hand and arm onto the counter etc. And it spits outward. And if you have any wrist issues/less than full wrist extension forget it. Not just awkward but strains the wrist. The whole plastic enclosure as well as the tray to catch pulp needs to be wider and sturdier. And then finally I didn't notice that the shaft part was aluminum (I wouldn't have bought it). So you have grey sludge that ends up on the plastic and possibly in your juice. With several key changes KitchenAid could have a great juicer. But this isn't it right now.
