Product Description
There is nothing like a tall glass of homemade lemonade on a hot day or fresh squeezed orange juice for breakfast. Sound enticing? Then be sure to get this Citrus Juicer for your kitchenaid food processor to juice everything from limes to grapefruits. Works by attaching to the center prong and features a deep bowl for extracting several cups of juice at a time. It is quick and easy, and when you are done, you can throw the attachment in the dishwasher. Works with 9 and 12-cup models, KFP500, KFP600, KFP650, KFP670 and KFP690
The product arrived promptly and I bought it at the same time I bought the Kitchenaid KFPM770, which is a wide-mouth 12 cup processor. Well, this does not fit. To Amazon's credit, it does not list my model in the product feature as it only list the 500 & 600 series processors. But in the feature line it said it was compatible with 12 cup processors, so I assumed that the processor I ordered was just a newer model not yet listed. So, my advice is if your model is not specifically listed, don't expect it to work.
Luckily, Amazon has a return policy which allowed me to return the item at no charge. That makes it worth the trouble of at least trying it out.
Also, as it turns out, the 770 comes with a juicer attachment. It is not listed as an attachment on Amazon but it was there. The attachment is similiar in looks but was not easy to use, it spins too fast and throws juice around. The hinged cover makes working this a chore. I ended up buying a small black and decker stand alone juicer which works well.
Excellent juicer. Concentrate when you are using it so you won't bruise your fingertips.
The citrus juicer is excellent -- quick and efficient, although it does allow just a little pulp to come through. Be sure to place the fruit evenly on the cone.
My citrus press came with my 11-cup food processor and it came with a lever arm that protects your fingers. Occasionally, I use mine without the arm and sometimes I hurt my fingers, sometimes not. You have to be careful and pay attention to what you are doing. This beats a separate appliance any day and it is dishwasher safe.
If you buy the attahcment from the Kitchenaid site, you have a choice in buying one with or without the lever arm. The lever arm is $10 more, but I think it is worth it.
After reading all the negative reviews I had serious doubts about buying this juicer but I did it anyways. I think it's wonderful. I didn't have any of the problems that were stated in other reviews. I simply cut my lemons in half and pulsed the food processor and in no time I had enough juice. I didn't hit the reamer with my fingers at all. Highly recommended!!!
I had read a number of negative reviews about this product that had me a little concerned. I bought it anyway. My advice is: follow the instructions that come with the device if you do not want to get your fingers caught on the reamer. When preparing the fruit, be sure to only cut off the tip and do not try to cut the fruit in half. You also need to maintain a firm grasp on the fruit as you are pressing it over the reamer. When I did this, the juicer not only worked well, but I also got a 'fruit cup' from the shell that I was able to fill with ice cream and serve!
The negative reviewers, obviously don't know how to use this handy attachment.<br>It comes with a hinged citrus cover, for good reason. You place the fruit over the juicer, and lower the cover; sparing any contact between your hand, and the spinniung extractor. Gentle pressure is all thats required to fully juice any piece of fruit. If you're getting rind, simply stop the machine, re-orient the fruit, and continue. Its also got 2 spindles, for larger, and smaller fruit. As was mentioned, trying to do key limes(which are only about the size of a golf ball), well, there are more appropriate tools, as they are exceedingly small. Try a lemon reamer. Does wonders for anything from lemons, up to giant sized grapefruit. I use it all the time.
It's great for larger fruit like oranges or grapefruit. Next to impossible for tiny key limes, since it has a tendency to chew up fingers.

I was apprehensive when I purchased this juicer attachement after reading the other review on this site. However, I have been so pleased with KitchenAid and their products (I have many other attachments for my 11-cup food processor) that I decided to try it anyway. My opinion after using the juicer: five stars! It's simple to use. Just hold the halved citrus fruit over the cone and hit the pulse button. Presto! Instant juice! This is perfect for the busy cook who hasn't the time or patience to juice a lemon for that avgolemono soup... :) I recommend this product highly, had no problems with it at all, and am thrilled that I bought it.
I bought a lot of the attachments for the 11 cup processor. I like the discs, I love the juice extractor (non citrus), but I hate this citrus juicer attachments!<p>You have to attach it to the top, turn it on and then with your hand press the fruit over the extremely fast spinning reamer. The peel off my lemon was shred apart before half of the juice was extracted. And yes, I did hurt my hand!<p>Please go ahead and buy all the other wonderful attachments this company makes, but wait with this one until they have gone back to the drawing board.
