I love fresh squeezed orange juice, so, when our orange tree began to produce fruit, I bought the Zeny juicer. Bottom line: I'm quite satisfied and happy with the machine. One of the criticisms I paid most attention to was that the shape of the cones doesn't get all the juice out. It's true that many (but not all) orange halves end up with pulp at the bottom edge. Because I love pulp, I just chew off the pulpy edge. I've found there's not much, if any, juice left in that meat, so you're not really losing a lot of juice. I think the larger the fruit (i.e. grapefruit), the more chance that pulp will remain around the edges. This is simply a function of the diameter of the cones, and a minimal disadvantage of the machine. Another serious criticism was that the powder coated paint was chipping off and dropping into the juice. That hasn't happened so far with my machine, so the manufacturer has either corrected the defect, there were some defective coating jobs, or (dare I say) the problem was user error. Any paint will chip if it's been knocked by hard or sharp contact; I'm just going to be careful putting the bottom cone/drain into the hole. If it's cocked (difficult to do on this design), the pressure of the squeezer will surely break off the powder coating. Others complained that the squeezer spit juice out the sides. True 'dat. But you can minimize the splatter by squeezing slowly until the top cone is below the lip of the bottom cone. I found the handle stayed up when it's pushed to the top of its travel and the bolts are tight; if it's below that limit, it will come down with a thud.
The machine's compound pressure makes it very easy to operate, the bottom cone and strainer come out and go back easily, and a simple wipe down cleans the top cone and the rest of the mechanism. (I haven't done it yet, but it looks like removing two bolts will get the top cone out to clean.) I'm hoping that citrus oil doesn't eat away at the (aluminum?) top cone, because I don't always use soap to clean it. Instructions warn that you should tighten all the bolts, and the seller thoughtfully provides the necessary Allen keys.
My one nit pick is the drain sits too low to get a tall glass underneath. You could fashion a cutout countertop, but using a wide, short glass gets me about 10-12 oz of juice at a time. I like the machine. I doubt it's much different from the other sellers with the same design, but I picked this one. Get it if you love juice as much as I do.

Returning-waste of fruit and toxic aluminum residue
Update: downgrading the review to 1star but this product should be removed from the market. I was considering keeping it because my daughter got super excited when she saw it and loves making lemonade. Turns out it worked great for small fruit like lemons and limes but not medium sided fruit. Today I juiced oranges (I end up picking up the excess fruit rim from pictures and putting it in our smoothies). There was dark grey sediment on bottom of her bottle from the aluminum coating of the juicer. The part that presses the fruit is stainless but the juice travels through the aluminum paint coated part on the bottom. So after sitting in acidic juice, these particles soften and smudge; the smudge picture of small particle on my finger smells like metal. Toxic China crap! The whole point of juicing is that we try to be healthy. This is not a healthy option.Still have a couple days in return window, definitely going back. Would like to see this product removed from market.Original review:Got my Juicer press yesterday and was excited to try it this morning.Pros: quick and easy to useCons: I get twice the juice from an electrical juicer, lots of juicy orange meat left on the fruit. See photos. Got less than 8oz of juice from 3 medium oranges. That makes my organic juice cost $4 per small glass - quite expensive IMO.This thing is huge and it does not have suction legs to prevent from tipping so you have to hold it or be very careful to prevent tipping while using it. Don’t even think about leaving it on counter if you have curious little people in the house.Will be returning it and look for other options.

I was surprised on how study this juicer was. It was larger and heavier than what I expected.. It worked great for making some delicious Florida Satsuma orange juice. It's easy to use and clean after use. My only complaint is you can only put a small glass or mason jar under the juicer. Over I'd recommend.
