I bought this as a first juicer and someone who juices citrus fruit occasionally for drinks. I was between this one and the Breville. I must say that I am so glad I chose this juicer. The price point does not reflect the capabilities of the product and saved me quite a bit in the long run. The top pieces come apart and can be washed in a dishwasher, making cleaning easy!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm extremely happy with my Cuisinart Pulp Control Citrus Juicer. It really gets every bit of juice out of the oranges and lemons I use it for. Especially when using the cover for that final spin. The pulp control feature is also nice for adjusting the amount of pulp for in each glass for the varying tastes in our family.

Seems great at first, but quickly becomes an annoyance. If you only want to juice one or two lemons then this may work out for you. The problem is this machine has some fatal flaws. One, know that no matter which pulp setting you use you're going to get pulp...a lot of it. Throughout the entire juicing process, including the fast spin, pulp winds up underneath the actual juicing piece, into the "tray" piece. Because of this there's no way for the juice to not pick up a ton of pulp as it goes into the tray and out the spout. So if you want pulp free juice make sure to have a strainer handy. Two, the reverse feature doesn't always work. The juicer is supposed to reverse direction whenever you release pressure on the juicer. Unfortunately, you may have to release pressure, apply pressure and release pressure more than a dozen times before this feature actually activates itself. And sometimes it never does. Three, you can only juice two or three lemons before the entire thing clogs up so bad with pulp that you have to take it apart and clean it before you can do anymore. So if you're trying to do more than just a few lemons you'll be stopping to clean this every few minutes. Four, clean is easy if you're only do a few lemons. But if you're doing more the rind starts to stick onto the juicer. While the majority of the rind comes of easily, it leaves a residue behind that can be difficult to get off. Nearly every time I set it in the drainer thinking it was clean only to come back and find it white with residue. It takes some real elbow grease, a wire scrubby, or a steel wool pad to get it off. Ultimately, this is a juicer for the occasional user who only need two or three lemons juiced at a time. Other than that save yourself the money and invest in some better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
