First let me say that this is not shown as an Amazon-certified review; I bought this attachment at a local Macy's. If you check my other reviews here on Amazon, you'll be assured that I am not anybody's shill and have no axe to grind.

I like the idea of using one motor for multiple tasks, and I have been very pleased with the meat grinder attachment for my KitchenAid mixer, so when my old electric juicer died after a good, long life, I decided to buy the KitchenAid juicer attachment. We live in South Florida and when we have fruit to juice, we have LOTS, and we freeze the juice to use year-round.

First let me say that the vertical orientation, necessary because it is attached to the mixer, is messy and awkward. To avoid juice running down your arms is difficult, and the seeds go everywhere, however careful you might be. In brief, it is no fun to use. Furthermore, the reamer in this juicer is not shaped like the hand juicer I own, nor like the electric juicer the KitchenAid attachment was meant to replace. The shape of this reamer doesn't do nearly as good a job on citrus as the others I have used. Also the reamer only reams in one direction, which makes it far less effective than juicers whose reamers reverse.

After one miserable day using this attachment, I went out and bought a little twenty-dollar Oster juicer that works just fine.
