I typically use our juicer once a week for my weekly orange juice fix & lime juice for drinks & cooking. Also, about four or five times a year (more?) we'll use it for cases of limes and oranges at a time for parties. My once a week fix is about 25 oranges and about 20 limes. I just checked my order history and we bought this in May 2007 - it's still going strong and still feels and looks new. It makes quick work of juicing a case of oranges or a case of limes (mmmm, margaritas!) and I've also used it regularly for grapefruit (see note below) and lemons.
There are a few downsides that have semi-remedies:
Hard limes. We have a lime tree and sometimes the fruit is quite hard. This can seemingly cause the machine to seize up (doesn't seem to hurt anything, just won't squeeze the juice). Our solution to this problem has been to roll the limes first to make them less hard.
Oval limes & lemons. If the cut citrus is more than half a round ball the juicer can't really handle it properly. Our solution to this is to use slices of the middle for garnish and then the fruit squeezes much more easily. Now we have pretty lime slices for margaritas or orange slices for other edible garnish.
Huge grapefruits. So while it works "okay", you do feel like you do feel like you're losing some juice on these. I haven't let this problem deter in my love for the machine. I simply wring the last bit of juice out by hand so that I don't feel like I'm wasting any.
Cleaning. Clean immediately and there will be no problems, but if you leave the pulp for a day (or night), it's not going to be so easy to clean. I put all of the parts into the dishwasher and have never had a problem.
Cabinet space. I used this at a friend's house and saw that low cabinets can interfere with the handle, but I use it on an open island and my cabinets at home have more space between cabinet and counter top so it's no problem for me. At my friend's, I simply moved it closer to the edge and was much more careful about placing a glass to catch the juice so that it wouldn't slide off.
Slippage. It does move around some on slick counters. I have that problem (not really a problem, in my humble opinion) with my new granite counter top, but I'm sure that I could put it on a mat and stop that problem if I really felt it were a problem. I do keep my eye on where it is.
Pulp. Sometimes if you're doing a lot of oranges or grapefruit that has a lot of pulp, you may need to empty out the basket. I don't see this as a problem, but I saw someone else comment about it. I do let the machine go extra revolutions for about 30-60 seconds to make sure I'm getting all the juice, but then I spoon out the seeds and pulp into the trash (or disposal to make the sink smell nice) before going another round. It comes with two pulp screens - one for low pulp and the other for higher pulp. Keep in mind that most of the nutrients are in the pulp. I love that you can change it because sometimes I use lime juice for a Thai soup and low pulp is better.
The ease of use, the ease of cleaning, and the results produced have made this a GREAT BUY! I'm not a fan of products that have only one use, but even if I only used this for squeezing oranges, I would still say that it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I have used many a hand squeezer or reamer and I still do on occasion for just one lime or whatever, but if you want fresh squeezed orange juice, this is definitely the way to go.

A MUST HAVE
Wow, why didn't I got this before? I asked myself. To start I don't like orange juice unless is natural so I never drink orange juice although I like it. I'm always reading the reviews of all the juicers but never got convinced and years went by. Since I own a few breville items and they ALL are good, I decided to go all out for this buy. Wow I'm glad I did. It squeezed the orange to the last drop, with 8 oranges I filled a 40 oz carafe. Is super easy to use, easy to clean, after cleaning I used the stainless still spray in a paper towel and is shining beautifuly. The juicer is in the heavy side but that is what makes it sturdy, it is made of a solid stainless still. LOVE IT, LOVE IT! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
