I am juicing lemons, limes and oranges. Is this a good fit for commercial use? Thank you.

Anita: The Angel is not a good fit for juicing citrus - suggest a heavy duty citrus juicer since you will be using it daily. The Angel is great for all leafy vegetables and it maximizes the amount of juice you get.

Anita: I don't think so. Not unless you want the rind and oils in your juice. I think a heavy duty citrus juicer would serve you better. The Angel is absolute best on leafy vegetables. Hope this helps.

Anita, we have found that the Super Angel in terms of juicing the Oranges and Lemons, doesn't do that great of a job. We love our Super Angel, but it spits out juicy pulp with those fruits. Most of the pulp that comes out of the machine is dry, except for the Lemons and Oranges we juice. We have a ninja blender that we use in tandem with our Super Angel that really helps with that.

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.

I use my orange squeezer for all citrus that fits. It's the only one that I have ever used and it works great for what I need as I have arthritis in my hands...so I may not be getting the all the juice possible.

I'd give it a C. The pulp still has a lot of juice in it and when I'm juicing beets, sometimes a small mist comes out even though it is locked tight. My previous one was a slow juicer and the pulp was really dry. I wouldn't recommend it.

I have run certain citrus through, but also have a citrus juicer for them. Running citrus whole through this machine would bring on a lot of the bitterness that's in the rind. When I do lemons in my juice, I cut off both ends, and probably 60% off the sides as well, give me the citrus I want, and very little bitterness. Hope this helps. If you are buying it to double as a juicer to make your orange juice everyday, I'd stick with a citrus juicer. But if you want truly effective results juicing greens and veggies, this is your baby. I still use it everyday, its been a great investment.

I don't think so. I have only used mine for juicing carrots and apples. I am surprised there is so much residue that needs to be scrapped out of the machine when the juicing is done. Not sure how this applies to other machines

I think it does a good job except with small raspberries.... But I also recommend using the pulp in cooking meat dishes like meat loaf or stuffed chicken breast etc. that way there is no waste period. I also recommend adding great flavored like freshineple to all my juices...I blend carrots and kale and pineapple and apples together frequently. The most powerful juicer I think is the ninja....but it I not quiet like the fusion....the fusion is also easy and quick to clean. :)

It's not bad at all. It is so modular, all of the pieces can be cleaned seperately. The only tricky part is the screen/blade section, but I would guess that it is similar to other juicers.

I tried Key limes in this and it works well. I used an older cheaper unit as it was a lot smaller and I had the same results. Smaller limes that are in stores right now get juiced quite nicely in this. This really does a great job of getting the juice out of the lime.

I have juiced both limes and lemons in this juicer and it does a decent job. They do need to be cut in quarters to fit into the feed chute. One of the juicing sites recommends peeling citrus with a potato peeler or something similar to remove the outer layer of skin if you don't like the super-tart taste of the citrus oil. I have done this and it works quite well. The white inner layer of the skin is supposed to contain extra nutrients so it is left on and run through the juicer.

It would work great on lemons I use it for limes which are probably the same size as a lemon or even a little bit smaller and it works great.

There is an optional citrus juicer attachment, (8001), that is used for juicing oranges, lemons, grapefruit and such.

Obviously the ultimate choice is yours, I am very pleased with this juicer, previously I had doubts and wanted to go with a more expensive one, but I am happy to say that I am very pleased with its performance, the motor is a 700 w power, very powerful motor, easy cleanup, inexpensive... There are no negatives so far with the juicer.. I will recommend this to any one.. Good luck on juicing...

We purchased the Champion Professional Model which is very good and produces a very dry pulp. It takes a few minutes to make a glass of juice which is good for our personal use. Not sure it that would be quick enough for a large business. Perhaps you would need to purchase a few or investigate what large commercial models are available.

I use mine to make home made tonic water. It has citric acid and the zest of one lemon, one lime and one orange. And the bottle has held up quite well. I see no reason lemon juice would be different. Just make sure to add after carbonation process.

I have juiced citrus along with greens, other fruit and veggies in various combinations and mostly with the small hole screen, but I have not juiced just citrus. I would think that it would be fine and that the large hole screen would produce pulpier juice.

So far I have juiced apples, celery, carrots and yes oranges. I haven't had any problems and after usingnthis juicer fornthe last few days I am very glad to own it. Thanks
