This juicer worked good at first, but broke and was completely unusable after three weeks of normal use. I peeled oranges and limes. I always cut fruit into smaller pieces and was careful never to force anything into it. The electric motor in this particular juicer is very weak, and wears out quickly. It's a cheap made in china pos. I juiced daily with it and like I said, I took care never to overload it and it still wore out.
