I use a lot of lemons in cooking and canning. They were 50 cents a lb. I bought 40 lbs. and 10 lbs. of limes. I bought this juicer after looking through the all the reviews for it and compared them to others I saw and also checked out You Tube videos for them all. I am a 73 yr old woman with arthritis that cannot use a hand press or hand juicer. So I needed something to help me along. I do not have to hold these fruits to squeeze them as some other juicers.This juicer did not fail me at all. I use 4 cups of the juice to make a strawberry/lemonade concentrate and that takes about 28 lemons and this juicer was a work horse! I ran through them like they were butter. It also held the charge during the duration, which took about 30 mins. When I was done with that batch I would plug it back it to make sure it was at its fullest capacity to run.Pulp: if you like to have pulp in your lemon juice then you will have it. I am not a lover of it so I just strained it.Lemon peels: They are cleaned out when the lemon was done and I took them and put into a jar with white vinegar to make an all purpose cleaner.The spigot: I feel it could be snugger, so you have to keep an eye on it. I set the juicer up with the spigot on the side and button in front so you can watch and control. Make sure you have a container that will sit up under the spigot snug to catch all the juice.Cleaning: could not be any easier. Just wash with hot water and you are done. I hand wash all my gadgets. They never go in the dishwasher.Limes vs. lemons: Limes were so easy and quick because they are smaller. My lemons were huge and took a bit longer.Peels: since they are cleaned out they were perfect also to dehydrate them for use in cooking.I am very pleased with my purchase and would not hesitate to tell someone to buy it.
