Toastmaster 1109 Citrus Juicer



well done, toastmaster!
well-designed, lots of little thoughts you would not have guessed would appear in an appliance: a place to wrap the cord underneath, a nook to hold the cord tight so it doesn't unravel, the beautiful curves of the shape, itself, easily cleanable, strong motor, flexible plastic. and then there is the price.

the only things they could have done better on this little package are:

1) the little rubber feet tend to pop out while juicing. (that's okay, they don't do much anyway. makes it easy to clean that area, anyway :P )

2) even with the little rubber feet (which are shaped like suction cups on the bottom), the juicer still slips around on my counter while juicing. (juicing can get messy if you do a lot, and after a while, you've got juice on the counter, and then even with the rubber suction feet, juicer still slips around). sometimes i put it on my large cutting board to stop from slipping/rotating while juicing.

alternatively, it might be nice if there were a way to select...

Weak motor
The juicer appears to have a weak motor. Putting even small pressure on th squizzed orange procudes loud, nasty voice and the motor stops. It occurs in both directions but more in counter clockwise direction. I have to squizz the oranges very gingerly and it takes a long time. Best feature - it's very easy to clean

Great little juicer!
I've been using mine consistently for the past 2 years. I love it so much, that I bought one for my brother as a gift, because he was looking for a small citrus juicer. They clean up easily and has a strong enough motor to juice any and all citrus. The price on Amazon is better than what I'd paid in the store for mine.
