Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Orange Juicer
Customer Review: I was worried, but I am happy with it!
Summary: 5 Stars
5/26/2009:
I just bought this juicer. I was worried about a few things:
1. I saw a Good Eats episode on oranges the very next day after I'd purchased this. Alton Brown held up this exact juicer, said it was junk, threw it away, and recommend using a more sophisticated press.
2. I read the reviews here that said there was lots of orange and juice left behind, because the orange folds up around the edges trapping fruit and juice.
3. Some people said the lemon and lime presses (I have a really cool one with a swiveling plate that lets you choose smaller for limes or larger for lemons) worked great, but the orange one didn't. That made me even more worried since my lemon/lime juicer works great and that's why I went for the orange one.
4. Finally: some people said the broke in a few months.
Here's my review:
I juiced my 1st orange. It worked great.
A. I searched online to see just how much juice an orange should produce. From what I saw, you get 2-3 oz per medium sized orange. My medium sized orange produced exactly 3 oz. So that seems pretty darned good.
B. It didn't take a lot of force to make it work, however once the orange is almost done, some squirted back up again. I am confident that was user error, but we'll see after I go buy some more oranges and experiment. I will update my review with any new facts. Some juice was above the peel. If I just opened up the squeezer and turned it over, that poured into the glass instead of flying up into my eye.
C. About the fold up, fruit left behind comments. Yup. It folded up. Yup, there was fruit in the fold. I unfolded that lip and ate what was left. It was juicy and delicious! If you are gonna chill the oj for later, this gives you a tasty treat for you light effort. But since a normal orange gives 2-3 oz of juice, and I got 3oz of juice, I just don't see this as a problem. Great yield, plus a treat for the squeezer (me).
D. Mine has only juiced on tasty orange so far. If it breaks, I will update my review. Until then... my recommendation is buy! If you want a bigger press like Alton recommends go for it, but honestly, if I squeeze 4 oranges, I'll get a nice big 12oz glass of delicious oj, and some orange bit snacks to boot. :)
E. The handles are a lot shorter than I imagined. I picked this one cause it was eligible for amazon prime. Otherwise, I'd pick the one with the longest handles for extra leverage. But again, I had zero trouble with this one, so it may not be super vital to have the longer handles.
