Works Great, Poor Quality
By Mike T
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R5R8EIGW3I1EM [UPDATE #1] I've made a video review of this for those of you who are more visually oriented. Enjoy! It complements my written review. You should read the review AND watch the video to get the most out of it. **A few times I said "rind," when what I meant was "pulp."[UPDATE #2] The hex sockets that connect the handle to the machine core is ridiculously poor quality. It started coming loose (no big deal), so I got two hex tools (one on each side) to tighten it. The hex sockets' threads started getting destroyed. I don't know how long the machine will last before the handle comes off. I've downgraded the star rating from 4 to 2. I love the machine's design & use, but I hate the trash quality of something so essential that holds the machine together. Made in China indeed! STAY AWAY!---------------The only juicer I've ever used is grinding citrus fruits by hand against one of those cones. The last time I went through two paper grocery bags of oranges, my hand hurt for a while. So, I decided to invest in a manual juicer. I wanted to avoid the electric ones because I don't trust the electric parts to last long. I eventually decided on the Olympus Extra Large Commercial Juice Press, Black.Maybe Amazon's listed dimensions for this juicer are actually for the box it comes in. When the package arrived, the box said nothing about it being the extra-large size, so I was worried I got ripped off. There was only a small sticker on the bottom saying "extra large". Rather shady. That's why I had to measure the juicer myself. The dimensions matched up with those listed on other sites: 9-1/4" l. x 7-3/8" w. x 31" h. with handle in upright position. That made me feel better.When using the juicer for the first time, I used various sizes of oranges. I put the juicer on top of a magazine, so the rubber feet didn't get a chance to stick to the counter top. As a result, the juicer tilted towards me when I had to exert greater pressure on the larger oranges. In comparison, when I had the juicer feet stick to the counter top, tilting did not occur. Also, the larger fruits tend to have a concentric rim of unjuiced parts, so I have to reorient the half-fruit a bit and rejuice to get the rest.Cleaning is pretty easy. There are two removable parts -- the cone and the filter -- that simply require washing with warm soapy water (manual's directions). The rest of the juicer can be wiped down with warm soapy water.Besides the poor labeling of the juicer's box(a sticker simply saying "extra large"), my other gripe is the mediocre assembly. The materials seem sturdy and good, but the rubber piece [that limits the lever handle from bein pushed all the way] is off center. It just irritates my eye, as I'm a stickler for such things. It still functions perfectly, but I'm not at all impressed with the final assembly. I've uploaded a picture to Amazon for you all to see. However, it is possible to realign it using a hex tool.In summary, this juicer has made my life easier. I juice a lot because I've got some relatives who plant citrus trees, and I myself have grapefruits (which I haven't tried yet). All the pros (works great, sturdy construction) outweigh the cons (shoddy labeling, poor assembly). I hope it lasts me decades.

Not as Good as a Ra Chand Juicer
By Eric Berube
I own a medium sized Ra Chand juicer, the popular model J210. Although the fit and finish of the Ra Chand juicer is somewhat crude, it makes up for it in brute strength and straightforward design. It works excellent for limes, lemons, and small to medium sized oranges and it will last a lifetime, even with daily use. The problem with the J210 is that it does not juice large oranges and grapefruits very well. I needed a larger juicer because I have a grapefruit tree and an orange tree that produce larger than average fruit. I decided against the Ra Chand J500 because they were more expensive than the OrangeX juicer, and the reviews of the OrangeX juicer were for the most part favorable--most of the complaints were for paint chips (doesn't appear to be a problem here) and slow delivery (also not a problem). I was disappointed when my OrangeX large commercial juicer arrived because the top cone and lower "bowl" assembly of the juicer, where the fruit fits, is no larger than the Ra Chand medium sized J210 juicer. In fact, it appears to be smaller than the Ra Chand medium sized juicer. Also, they are thin stamped stainless steel where on the Ra Chand juicer they are polished cast aluminum. That being said, the OrangeX juicer is heavy duty and fairly well built. I have no doubt it will work fine for limes, lemons, and small to medium oranges, and that it too will last a lifetime. However, now I have two juicers that will do the same thing and I still have no juicer for larger grapefruits, unless I settle for squeezing some of the grapefruit and having the edge squirt all over the edge. In retrospect, I wish I had looked at the Ra Chand J500 and, given that it is truly larger than the J210, spent the extra $50 to get something that would not only work for larger fruit, but medium and smaller fruit as well.

Fast work making juice from lime and orange trees
By DoxieLover
Very pleased with the Olympus XL Commercial Juice Press. Well built (heavy, so it stays put on the counter), and quiet and easy to operate. The juicer is very easy to clean - just two parts that rinse right off. We have used this juicer for about a month and have made juice from about 75 limes and oranges in record time. This unit replaced a Kitchen Aid mixer juicer attachment that was slow, noisy (the mixer is always on), messy while juicing, and a chore to clean afterward. The only drawback to the Olympus is finding a place to store the unit for easy accees. It won't fit under the cabinets on the kitchen counter - another inch is all it would take for the handle in the down position to slide under the cabinets. Would recommend this juicer.
