Does it handle grapefruit properly?

So so, it's not a very good press. I wish I spent the extra money and got a real one rather than this cheap knockoff.

It could handle a pretty small grapefruit. Try to buy ones less than 4 inches in diameter.

Maybe if they're of the smaller variety but not if they're like the Ruby Reds from Texas.

Brought it primarily because of its size and grapefruit were the main reason. I've had great success with it, but imagine that a very large grapefruit might not fit in as we (I would probably quarter it and do it that way). Would I purchase this again? Absolutely!

I made the mistake of putting in a potted grapefruit tree. It smells really bad. Whenever I water it brings the smell out again. I have mixed it into the soil constantly but it still comes through whenever I water it.

Hi there, I've only used it for oranges and grapefruits so far - even large ones- and it's been great. Haven't had a chance to try pomegranates bc they haven't been in season here quite yet but my sense is - medium sized pomegranate will fit just fine! If you need to do a very large pomegranate, you could always cut it in thirds and juice that way.

Grapefruit and oranges, yes! However, the "cone" core is probably too large for smaller fruit and would result in tearing the flesh. That said, the resulting juice would still be fine.

it can be used for oranges for sure. if Grapefruit is too large for the 4-inch diameter press then it may not work. lemons are too small for this press.

Yes, I bought this specifically for pealing citrus fruit for cocktails. Works well on grapefruit, oranges lemons and limes. Depending on how much pressure you apply, it will or will not leave the white part of the rind behind.

Haven't tried it. I've done big grapefruit and it worked great. My guess it will do it as well or better than any other commercial press

I have not tried that, but can tell you this baby has a LOT of power. Is awesome for citrus- love it!

I have used it for grapefruit and larger oranges it works great. this is a nice juicer strong and sturdy.

Don't eat grapefruit anymore, but I just went into the kitchen and tried it on an orange. Works beautifully. It does leave a good bit of the white part of the rind intack, but you can go over it to get more off. Works very quickly with little effort.

No it's just for citrus halves: mainly for orange juice, but possibly could be used for lemon, lime, tangerine, or grapefruit.

Some citrus, definitely! Due to the larger size of the press, lemons and limes, for example, are usually too small. However, it's perfect for oranges and grapefruit.

I haven't used it for grapefruit, but I think it would work just as well as it does for other citrus fruits. If the grapefruit is a really big one, you might have to move it around to get all of it juiced.

It does a better job than any other juicer I have tried. It works the best with veggies and fruits but I also use it to juice berries. Any soft fruits like mango and berries should be run through the juicer two or three times to get the maximum juice out. I save the soft fruit pulp and run it through at least 3 times as I have found this gets the best juice yield. I have seen other people use a hydrolic press to get the remaining juice out of the pulp if they don't want to run it through the juicer again.

Yes. I can be used for grapefruit, oranges, and pomegranates. Just don't put too much pressure on the handle and squeeze too hard or you will be able to taste the rind instead of getting pure juice.

Did not have any luck - tried many different ways was unbalanced - would work well with citrus, I returned the unit. Have two pomegranate bushes and returned to juicing with the skin removed.

The diameter of the top is 3-3/4 inches and the bottom is almost 5". I think it would be fine for a large grapefruit.
