The only thing I have to compare this juicer to is the manual lever press model I've used for 30 years. The manual was fine for the occasional lemon or lime I had to squeeze, but recently my husband took to mixing fresh lime juice into his seltzer instead of drinking orange juice. We were going through 5 limes a day and the process was making our mild carpel tunnel problems flare up, and the process was messy, so we decided to go electric. When reading this review,keep in mind that I've only used this product for limes and lemons...not larger fruits.

We had a choice between the Dr. Weill/Spring, the less expensive Cuisinart, and the more expensive Breville automatic lever model(which was too tall for our counter set up and more than we wanted to pay).

So far, from reading the other reviews, this was the right choice. It is not truely 'automatic' because you do have to press the fruit against the reamer for what seems a relatively long time (compared to the manual press), but it is much easier on the hands and delivers much more juice. The machine is quite stable, so you can use both hands to manipulate the fruit. The spout works well and accomplishes the process with virtually no mess aside from having to rinse out the pieces. It stores nicely and looks great.

The major problem with all of the other electric models seems to be longevity, and since we've only been using the juicer for a week, I can't speak to this issue yet.

I don't know why they felt it necessary to include a stainless steel cup...I would have rather paid less.


After a lot of research I bought the Weil and the Tribest Citristar knowing one was getting returned. This is a comparison of both.
The Weil is 30 watts stronger, I'll give it that. It's much harder to stop the Weil than the Citristar with your hand but both motors are more than capable of the job. It is also a bit better looking, being steel on the outside vs. plastic. Cons are:

1. Not very big at base, therefore tends to wobble just a bit at times. Tribest has much larger base and is far sturdier.

2. The reemer isn't wide enough so instead of just pressing down you have to kind of squeeze the sides into it to extract all the juice. Also, half the ridges on the reemer or smooth and curved instead of coming to a point. This prohibits it from really tearing into the flesh of the fruit and extracting all the juice. I compared both with the same amount of oranges and the citristar extracted about 10% more juice than the Weil.

3. The reemer on the citristar is much sturdier due to the shaft it sits on being twice as big as the Weil.

Both were comparable in noise level in that the Citristar is slightly louder but the Weil has a much higher pitched squeel to it that I thought was a bit irritating. Cleanup for both was very easing. Both seemed to have the same pulp content in the juice. Generally, I feel the Citristar is a better all around juicer. The Weil seems more like asthetics may have been the top priority. Weil introduced this juicer with a whole lineup of kitchen appliances instead of focusing on just this product. It's advertised as being Swiss. I don't quite see it. Overall, it's a decent juicer but for the current price of $80 to $100 either get the Citristar or step up to the Breville Citrus Press.




I make fresh juice every morning and have had terrible luck with other juicers. Either they were two light and bounced all over the countertop or they broke down after a couple of months. This juicer is beautifully built, solid and very, very easy to clean. I love it!!!!
