Product Description
There's probably nothing more refreshing than a glass of freshly squeezed citrus juice. Be it Orange, Grapefruit, Tangerine, Lemon, or Lime - fresh juice is filled with phytochemicals, bioflavonoids, and vitamins that are lost in packaged products. Citrus juice is tasty and healthy. Recent studies have demonstrated evidence that drinking citrus juice positively affects serum antioxidant status and bone strength. Citrus fruit contain several phytochemicals and nutraceuticals including vitamin C that have antioxidant properties and reportedly reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and some forms of cancer. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is essential for maintaining collagen, a protein necessary for the formation of connective tissue in skin, ligaments and bones. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron, aids in red blood cell formation, helps prevent hemorrhaging and bruising, and helps prevent viral infections such as the common cold. Vitamin C is an antioxidant nutrient.
The DeLonghi KS500 Electric Citrus Juicer is a fast, easy, and efficient way of producing fresh citrus juice in the comfort of your home. Taste nature as it should be tasted. Enjoy the freshness and absorb the nutritive properties. TRANSPARENT DUST COVER protects the internal components and extends the life of the unit. EASY-TO-CLEAN detachable parts are dishwasher-safe making cleanup a breeze. CORD STORAGE keeps power cord out of harm's way when the juicer is not in use. DESIGNED AND ENGINEERED IN ITALY

 pooly made January 3, 2009

This product isn't very sturdy. It also doesn't work well on larger citrus fruits. Mine literally broke into pieces when I waas trying to remove the piitcher from the base after very few uses. Not impressive at all.

I did not realize how horrible this juicer was until it finally died and I bought a new one. The whole time I used this juicer it was loud and ineffective. Buy the Black & Decker CJ525 CitrusMate Plus Citrus Juicer, it's cheaper, quicker, quieter and a million times better.
 A great way to get citrus juice August 9, 2008

We have tried other juicers but this is the best for lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruit. It has a choice of two reamer sizes to use, it's inexpensive, and reliable.
 Nice Idea, Inexpensive execution July 24, 2008

Nicely designed, but inexpensively made. I would very much like to have one made of glass and metal. Especially the working parts. Motor and gears are plastic and prone to self-destruct over time and use. Having destroyed other, similar units, I use care. Two size spindle works great on lemons as well as grapefruit and oranges. Adjustable pulp strainer a plus. Removable decanter is nice but awkward to remove. All-in-all, a reasonable product for the money, but I'd rather have paid more for a higher quality machine.
Nice Price Point - Shoddily Made Juicer January 8, 2008

I received this product from Amazon on Friday, January 4th. My main reason for purchasing this juicer was its clean design (really like how the juice falls into the pitcher as opposed to the kinds that have a spout where the juice comes out) and for the unbeatable price. However, this morning, Tuesday, January 8th (a whopping 5 days since I've had this juicer) the juicer finally gave up on me.
I was juicing some small lemons when the machine just stopped working. There was no resistance or strange noise - nothing - the motor just completely stopped working. I would expect an inexpensive juicer like this to have a relatively short lifetime, however, 5 days is ridiculous. While the design was very nice (adjustable pulp settings, easy to clean, all parts fit neatly together), the fact that it simply stopped working (for no apparent reason) is astounding.
I had read similar reviews on other "cheaper" juicers that if you press too hard the motor could burn out - having read this, I was very careful to not push too hard when juicing. I would NOT recommend this juicer to anyone - Spend the extra money on a better quality juicer and avoid the headache that this one will cause.
