what is the diameter of the biggest pomegranate or grapefruit the juicer will handle?

I'm not exactly sure of the diameter, but I have never had a problem with pomegranates. Grapefruits, depending on the size, can be challenging. However, I quarter grapefruit for the most part ensuring that I get the maximum juice. I hope this helps!

I really don't know. I have only used it for oranges and I love it for that.

Pomegranate, no problem. We juice lots of grapefruits and it will take a large grapefruit although the medium to small grapefruits are better. I am a small lady and the larger fruits are hard for me to pull the lever down. The unit is very sturdy but the suction cups on the bottom don't do the job for the size of the juicer. I replaced them with larger ones and it holds the unit on the counter top without moving. If you like fresh pressed juice, you will like this unit.

About 4 1/2 inches, but anything larger with also work. You can push the juicer handle more than once and get it all taken care of.

We use our juicer for pomegranates cutting them in half before putting them on the juicer. The ones larger than 4 inches in diameter we cut in quarters because they juice better that way.

If its a perfect sphere, 4.5 inches. Since they never are, realistically about 4.25 inches, assuming that one halves the fruit. If you decide to quarter, then it depends on your knife skills.

The diameter of the cup that presses down on the fruit is about 3 3/4" but the size of the cup that catches the juice is over 5". The press will easily handle a large fruit, but if there is any fruit that remains unsqueezed after the first press I simply break it into smaller pieces, reposition the fruit so it is centered over the cone, then press again.

I think coconuts will be too big. I use it for lemons, oranges and grapefruits. Don't think it can grasp bigger than the grapefruit. You have to be able to grasp AND then twist.

I doubt it would do a good job on a 5-inch grapefruit. The diameter of the holder is about 4 inches only. It works great on oranges and even mandarines and clementines but I a 5" grapefruit is simply too big. I also had good results with pomegranates but I had to squeeze multiple times, moving it to 4 different edges. Perhaps this "technique" could work with a grapefruit, too.

For a fruit to fit inside the head it can't be more than 4 3/4 inches in diameter and 8 1/2 inches in length. Small to medium papayas, probably yes, the largest ones I doubt would fit inside the head. Works great for mangos, peaches, pears, plums, oranges and other fruit of a similar size that are less than 5 inches in diameter.

It's 3 1/2" diameter. I use it for a two quart pitcher as I didn't want a gallon size pitcher taking up more room, and I can change the fruit often. The pitcher I use has a top that comes off so the ball fits in easily. If you get a narrow opening pitcher or container, it won't work. Hope this helps.

Yes. It is a very handy tool for fruits 2-5 inches width. The little cups that you can add to the sides will hold the smaller fruit.

I haven't ever tried to juice a grapefruit with it. However, in looking at the size, I believe it could be done. It might be a little small for grapefruits, but could work. It is a quality product. We use it primarily for lemons and oranges. It works great and is easy to clean.

I've purchased 2 glass citrus juicers. The first one I don't have handy but it was probably the same item as what you're looking to purchase. The measurement should be across the bowl portion of the juicer, not including the handle. The second one I purchased is 6" across the width or perpendicular to the line that would go through the handle to the pour spout. I did notice that the 2nd juicer has shallower fluting where the citrus rubs to remove the juice. So the smaller model had better flutes for juicing.

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.

Mine didn't specify size. They're fairly large but once you compress it for insertion it's not much bigger than a grape.

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

It is a good powerful juicer, but unfortunetly it does properly cup a larger orange or a grapefruit. However it does a good job on lemons and limes. So for larger citrus fruits i would appreciate a feed back

I don't remember because I returned the juicer after 2 uses. It's no where near as good a product as the Omega J8003 I did have nor the Omega J8004 that I replaced the VRT with. Too much pulp in the juice, too much foam, too much money for a less than acceptable juicer. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

It is 3 1/2 " - I have squeezed small grapefruit in it but it is just fine for Oranges. Perfect , No but, I would buy it again.

I use it with Grapefruit and Pomegranate only as I cannot have Orange Juice and have no need for Lemon juice... I guess it can be used with Oranges and Lemons as well. The main difference is the size (circumference) of the squeezing cylinder. It is fairly large to handle bigger fruits...Hope this helps.

The diameter of the base is just under 10 inches. We love this juicer. Just finished making tomato stock and vegetable juice. Grape juice will be next.

about 1.2 inches, but is tapered slightly. I grind my stuff and then drop it in and get much faster production. Grind with a juice man and thenfinish it off into dry pulp with the angle. After 2 years, that is the best method I have found and Juice over 1 gallon a week, veggies, not fruit!
