Is it automatic in the sense of not having to push down on the fruit to get the juice out? if you put the fruit in does it automatically do the work?

Hi, you have to cut the fuit in half and push it down. the rotor you push on starts and reverses automatically thats all ! hope that helps

You have to push down. The machine automatically works when and while you're pushing your hand down. You don't have to exert a lot of pressure.

The juicer requires you to press down on the fruit to get the juice out. Pressing down activates the rotary center piece that crushes the juice out.

You have to hold the fruit and press down gently, and even move it around to ensure the entire inside of the fruit is reamed out thoroughly. But it's a very minor thing and gets every little bit of juice from the fruit. Worth every penny.

Hi, lightly pressing the half section of citrus fruit on the auger starts the motor. Releasing the pressure changes the rotation direction of the auger which maximizes juice extraction. I really enjoy owning this juicer.

You have to hold and push down on the fruit. Good little machine for the money, though.

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!

I love my juicer. What a machine! I just brought in some key limes to try before answering your inquiry. I was able to juice them by pressing my palm over the limes. Not perfect like the oranges but works.

Are you trying to push the fruit through? I find it's best to let the machine do the work. If you push them through, it tends to go too fast and not process correctly.

No, you just cut them in half and hold them down on the machine (one half at a time). it spins around and removes the juice. Lift it up for a second and it will go the other way.

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.

I never tried banana in the juicer, and probably wouldn't, there isn't much to juice in them. Apples you could juice it, as well as kale. It's not a very efficient juicer for apples though. I would mainly use it for leafy greens like kale. But IMO, I would get a motorized juicer if your budget allows for time, effort and efficiency!

When the handle is pressed to hold the fruit, the machine turns its power on automatically.

yes. easier than other juicers. takes a few times to get used to it. i will tell u, though-- that we clean the juicer before we enjoy the juice. so-- it does not take long @ all.

It's better than a juicer, it blends everything. I put vegetables and fruit and it blends them with ease...

I tend to agree with the other users, I think it may just need to be cleaned out in the middle of juicing if you are doing that many apples. I also always make mine right before I drink it so I only make enough for myself. If you are doing heavy duty juicing, your best bet might be a higher end juicer that can handle the load

Nope and theory issue I have had with it is pineapple. It seems to get stuck in the strainer and slow the discharge of juice.

It does not, but it's a phenomenal juicer, beautifully made, easy to clean and attractive on the counter. I think you'd love it!Nan Danielson

Mine is automatic. But the casings they provided did not fit on mine. Not sure if that helps but it still works it just fits loosely.

Yes the new generation has a larger feed and has an adjustment to be able to extract more or less juice which is nice because some things clog it up. So if you just turn it down the juice comes out. It's on softer fruits like grapes, apples, cucumbers exc.

For manual Juicers, Yes. I make Kale / Apple all the time. Almost every day.

No, the machine cuts the oranges in half and then squeezes them in a kind of ball and socket arrangement, juice and pulp drains downward to the collection spot. You need to filter out the pulp if you don't want it in your juice.

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.
