Will this juice a grapefruit and does the reamer auto reverse? Thanks.

Yes. The grapefruit must be the size of an orange in order to fit in. There are pretty big grapefruits out there that will not work with this machine.

Yes, I use it mainly for grapefruits and it works great. It doesn't auto reverse.

There are 2 reamer sizes-- 1 small and the other medium. The medium should be able able to juice a grapefruit. There is no auto reverse. I love it and 3 of my friends ordered it after they saw mine!

It may very well do that. You press the item into the citrus juicer which is vertical ... the skins of a grapefruit, lemon or orange give you something to hold onto, and you've got the layers of onions; sections... it may just twist, but if you could hold onto with a glove or brute strength.... however, I have a regular juicer (like the jack Lalane (sp) and it would do a much more efficient job .... a much better choice.

No, not in the traditional sense of a citrus juice. However i juice oranges, lemons and grapefruits daily, and does a wonderful job. I hope that helps. :)

No. This is a small hand manual juicer. Rips thru lemons I needed to juice with ease. However it is all a manual process

It comes with two grinding cones. One is smaller than the other and is good for something the size of a lemon or lime. The larger cone is good for oranges. I don't believe either would work well on grapefruits.

A few smallish grapefruits would probably be OK, but you're going to have to work (squeezing the fruit around the juicer core). If you're doing a lot, you'll be happier with something else.

I am not the manufacturer, but I have used this extensively for extracting juice from grapefruit and the results are five star - excellent.

You must push down on the cut fruit to activate the motor to ream the fruit. It is very easy and effective, as it has an automatic reverse action to completely ream the fruit. I really like this machine, and it is easy to clean. The price is really right!

Yes, there is a reverse button & it does help with jamming. After using this juicer for awhile now, the best thing for not jamming is feeding the fruits/ veggies in slowly. It will receive them faster, but it will lock up if you do that.

yes, but not citrus fruits. Also you may need to strain the juice with a kitchen strainer to get rig of some excess pulp.

My old one did, but the new one didn't. And I wanted to update that the new one I bought, which is now made by a different company than ACME, is far and away inferior to the old machine I had. The metal is thinner and some of the edges are not polished and you can cut yourself. I can't juice more than one glass of juice without the machine starting to buck all over the counter. My old machine did not have any of these issues. I also have a citrus juicer attachment from my old machine, that won't fit the new one. I would not advice anyone purchase this machine. You won't be happy with it. My old one did, but the new one didn't.

I don't think it auto-reverses, because I have juiced some things that have taken a lot of pressure...without any stoppage or reversal. It works just great though, but you occasionally have to stop and clean out the strainer or the juice and pulp will spill over.

You do. I gently rotate the fruit as the reamer turns to get the most juice. But you're not using much pressure at all, as that would stop the reamer from turning, and you could use just the flat of your hand to push down the fruit enough to activate the reamer without having to close your fingers around it.

I'm not sure about grape juice, but it works great for orange and lemon juice
1574476
Yes it does. I have used it for recipes that call for romaine or iceberg lettuce as well. All have been juiced successfully. This is a fantastic device! I am discovering it's just a matter of finding what I like juiced as far as taste goes but all my juicing attempts have gone well.

Yes but it will prob only hold juice from one grapefruit. You'll just have to empty and squeeze each as you go.

I don't know, but every morning we juice at least six oranges or grapefruits and it's just strong as ever. Does not heat up. Now, I don't kniow about commercial use, but for normal family use, this is the best. So easy to operate and to clean. Hope that helps.
