Cuisinart Citrus Juicer - Electric - Brushed

 (1 customer review)

When you press the lemons down to be juiced, the core of the juicer turns and should "ream" the juice from the lemons. It takes a fair amount of pressure to do this and three things happen: 1. you might get some juice from the lemons, 2. the entire juicer, housing, base etc. turns or "walks" on the counter as you push down on lemons. You end up chasing the trickle of juice but clean up more of it in the form of a lemon puddle all over the counter or 3. as you put more downward pressure on the lemon the unit can't take the force and it stops until you pull back leaving most of the juice still in the lemon. It has helped to put a sticky mat under the juicer to keep it from spinning away. It may be only slightly easier (an a lot messier) if at all, to use this gadget than to squeeze lemons the old fashioned way.
