Once finished juicing your fruits, cleanup is a breeze. As with any juicer, remove the parts that actually touch the juice and rinse them off in the sink right after finished with juicing. I find it best to just wash these parts with soapy water and a sponge then and there, but they could be cleaned in a dishwasher. One part that can be troublesome is the top dome that pressed down on the citrus. In order to clean this in the sink, you would have to manually detach it from the juicer every time. Wiping it down with a soapy paper towel works well when cleaning it.
Treat this machine as a piece of art in the kitchen. With a stainless steel construction, the Breville Citrus Press is a real attention getter. Do not be ashamed of this appliance and attempt to hide it under the counter or in a cabinet when it is not in use. Take pride in this citrus press as you would with a piece of quality art. Truly this is one of the nicest looking appliances you could possibly own. When touching the machine as well, you will notice that it is made of true quality. While we may know that some blenders that have a plastic aesthetic are awesome appliances, most Vitamix blenders will simply not look anywhere as cool as the Breville Citrus Press. In order to keep your citrus press shining like new, wipe it down with a paper towel or microfiber cloth that has been soaking in distilled white vinegar once or twice a week.
Bring freshly squeezed citrus drinks to parties to amaze friends. I will be honest, when I bring vegan hors d'ouvres to parties I am not always well received by non-vegan party goers. When you are eating a healthy whole foods vegan diet, your taste buds will be different than the typical party guest on the SAD. However, fresh citrus juices always amaze everyone. My personal favorite recipe involves about 14 naval oranges squeezed into a 64 oz Vitamix container, a head of parsley, and frozen mango chunks. Blend all of that up and pour into some portable container (mason jars). I sort of get disappointed when people inevitably begin mixing this homemade healthy drink with their alcohol, but oh well.
Cons:
There are a few issues with the juicing arm. For the first part, the juicing arm simply doesn't feel as high of quality as the rest of the juicer. It would have been far better if Breville made the grip be stainless steel instead of the black rubber plastic style end. Also, I would have preferred if the design of the press arm was a straight post rather than being curved, the curved design seems sort of weak. Another issue with the arm of the Breville Citrus Press is that it actually swivels back and up, this takes up more space than you would expect. It can be an issue if your entire counter top space is only under cabinets.

The Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press is a great item to buy for anyone who wants to drink citrus juice in the morning, but doesn't want to spend tons of time making the juice or running a loud motor that wakes up the entire house. Making juice is incredibly easy with this machine, and I like that it handles limes and lemons fairly well. For the added bonus of receiving an appliance that looks like something that could go in an art gallery, I give this juicer two thumbs up.

Nemco Easy Juicer Review
Those shopping for a manual juicer specifically made for juicing citrus. Anyone looking for a machine to make freshly squeezed orange juice. Whoever is in need of a maximum efficiency manual juicer.
Purpose of Product:
To save time and labor when it comes to juicing citrus. Maximize the amount of juice extracted from oranges, lemons, limes, and other citrus fruits.
Pros:
Easily juice your citrus fruits with the Nemco Easy Juicer. Using an electric juicer, or even a hand squeezer, to juice a large amount of citrus at any one time is an absolute pain. When using an electric juicer, you have to completely peel the fruit and break it up into small sections. Hand held squeezers are often messy and slow when it comes to juicing more than one piece of citrus at any one time. A fully dedicated counter top manual citrus press is the perfect solution for anyone wanting freshly squeezed citrus.
Made from quality metals, this manual juicer is built to last and undergo the stress of daily use without hiccup. With a stainless steel and aluminum body, this model of citrus press is far more durable than any plastic model on the market. Also, the gears within the Nemco Juicer are made of bronze. All materials that went into this Nemco product are suited for restaurant use where hundreds of glasses of fresh orange juice may need to be made daily.
Take advantage of citrus sales as they come up throughout the year. Especially during the winter months, citrus can be sold at mind boggling low prices. If you are not stocking up like mad when oranges or grapefruits are being sold at rates close to 10 for $1, you are missing out big time. Do not expect to find such amazing deals at Walmart though. Oftentimes you will need to check a regional grocery chain to get these steals. Keep in mind though, citrus is almost always one of the most affordable fruits you can buy at the grocery store year round. In order to take advantage of low priced citrus, a manual citrus juicer is the perfect tool to do so. Juicing citrus requires a large amount of fruit, but the end result is always so worth it. There is absolutely nothing like a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.

Clean your Nemco Easy Juicer quickly. Just place the juicer in your sink for an effortless clean up. Now, many juicers wonder what to do with all the citrus peels generated by the juicers. I have never had a problem feeding my compost worms citrus. I believe this is largely an urban myth that worms die from eating citrus. Of course though, I feed them a diversity of produce scraps. If you were to feed your worms solely one food, they would not do well and may even die. Be sure to always add carbon to your worm bin as well. If you do not keep worms, you can compost citrus no problem. Also, I like to simply add citrus peels to my garden underneath the mulch layer. I am sure a whole host of possible options exist (you could even dehydrate them if you wanted and make a powder), but I love having all of this compostable leftover waste.
Cons:
You will have difficulty juicing larger fruits, and it does not juice pomegranates. You can juice big grapefruits and pomegranates if you want, it will just be messy and frustrating to deal with. More often than not, you can squeeze the grapefruits into being juiced well enough, it simply is not as easy juicing grapefruits with the Nemco Easy Juicer
as it is with oranges, lemons, and limes.
Guarantee:

For anyone wanting a manual citrus press that is designed to last a lifetime, the Nemco Easy Juicer is a great product to choose. Its entirely metal based construction makes it a serious choice for anyone wanting both functionality and appeal in the kitchen. Once you make your own fresh orange juice or limeade, anything you buy from the store will taste like garbage. For that reason, I only squeeze my own citrus with a manual juicer when I am desiring a citrus drink. Go out and make your own citrus juice with an electric juicer or a hand squeezer to see if you like the taste of the drink. If you do, then I would highly recommend the Nemco Easy Juicer.
