Ra Chand - J210 - Manual Citrus Juicer

Comments about Ra Chand Manual Citrus Juicer:

Juicer is great. If you live in Boulder though don't ask for a delivery just go and pick it up. It took two weeks to get them to deliver it and this would have never happened if I hadn't called a half dozen times. They never called back or made any effort to fix the situation. Customer service is worthless. Sorry, but what can I say?

Comments about Ra Chand Manual Citrus Juicer:

Works quickly and efficiently on oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits. It's certainly a production tool, but the removable funnel and juicing cup make it so easy to clean that I find myself using it even when I'm just juicing a single lime. The fit and finish are a little rough - more like a farm implement than a kitchen tool - but that in no way interferes with the function, and it's still attractive enough to leave out on the counter. Which is good because this juicer is pretty hefty.

The only thing I can think of that would improve it would be better balance, because downward pressure on the lever arm tends to tip the whole thing forward. To prevent that, I hold the back of the base down with my other hand. A larger base would eliminate the problem, though would I really want this juicer to be any bigger than it already is? Probably not.

This is a great juicer. Bought this one as a gift, but have had one in my own kitchen for 6+ years. Tough, kid-friendly, easy to clean! Besides citrus, it works great on pomegranates!

Good prices and great customer service. I called about a damaged pot in a large order and they replaced it fast. I had the new pot 2 days later!

Over a two year period, I purchased and broke three different citrus juicers from various retail outlets. Frustrated, I looked to the commercial restaurants supply folks and purchased a Model J210 Citrus Juicer. That was back in 1995 and my wife and I have used it daily ever since with no complaints. I will say, after about ten years, the spring that lifts the handle broke, but this did not affect how the juicer performed. It is now 2011...16 years without a complaint...and I find that the rubber bumpers on the bottom have begun to disentigrate, but that is the worst problem yet.

I am a dedicated home cook and I love fresh ingredients, so this juicer stayed out on my counter all summer long. My husband bought it for me for my birthday, and I was a bit irritated because he spent so much money on a juicer. But then I loved it. But within two months, a stress point broke during use. It lasted another year half-broken, but now it is totally broken. I have had hand-squeeze juicers last longer than this. I can only assume this was a manufacturing defect, because the manufacturer prides itself on durability.
