Unfortunately, it breaks almost everything else. I used the original 66332 roughly 5 times a week for about 5 years before the motor lost its torque. The reamer of the original stayed snapped in place in the strainer, allowing one to pour from the pitcher without removing the strainer and reamer. My only complaints were the hollow handle on the 66332's pitcher and the tight crevasses on the underside of the reamer: both were inaccessible and made great habitats for mold.
And now it's dead, its gears no longer properly engaging after about a month of use. (Fortunately, neither spot comes in contact with the juice). The 66332R fixed the problem with the handle. The 66332R is what replaced the 66332, and, unfortunately, if you order from Amazon, the "R" is probably what you'll get. It worked well enough, but it's really a compromise because it involves a bunch of gears to slow its reamer down to a sensible citrus speed. The original felt pretty solid, whereas the R creaks, feels flimsy, and the strainer piece tends to come out of its position.
Be prepared to hold the R's reamer in place by hand when pouring. My R was excruciatingly loud.
Clean up was much worse. It may not have been a rock solid piece of kitchen equipment (by contrast, my Omega 1000 extracting juicer impresses with its power and weight), but it performed well and cleaned up easily.
I'm on the look out for my next citrus juicer. It has 5 pieces to wash instead of 3.
It has a smaller pitcher. In case anyone is wondering, I did try the Omega's citrus attachment on my 1000 a few years back.
It makes sense to me to have a machine that's designed just for citrus.
Both have broken on the first usage. Model 66332R ("R" for reject). Model 66332 on the other hand is excellent. is generally defective. I have tried two units myself. Be sure to get the right model number. The better model (66332) does NOT have an adjustment on top for the pulp drain width.
is surprisingly useless despite the similar model number.If you read through these reviews, nearly all fallinto two camps; it is either the BEST or WORST juicer.I think the BEST is model 66332, while the WORST is model 66332R. Model 66332 is an excellent juicer for citrus from kumquat to grapfruit sizes. However, some vendors have substituted model 66332R,which is noisy, clogs easily, and breaks instantly.Model 66332R (R for "reject"). The "R" model has an adjustment for the pulp drain slot size.Model 66332 does not.
After one day use it started making noises and stop working. I returned it. After reading all reviews I went with another Citrus Juicer this time.
this item did not even go through 1 bag of oranges and stopped working, i picked it up and heard rattling in the bottom of the unit. i don't really like the brand in the first place never had cheaper products from any other manufacturer. i had bought it the year before at end of the orange season so by the time next year rolled around it was too late to return. i opened the bottom and found that the cheap plastic gear they put on the motor had twisted in half. don't buy this item unless u want to replace it shortly after u get it. if i could give it less than 1 star i would.
