We just returned this item.It arrived in a timely manner, was powerful. It cleaned very easily. We really liked it.The problem was that It IS necessary to peal oranges and lemons, etc before juicing.We asked this question before purchasing the Juicer. The response we received was that it was not possible to answer this question.So I am answering this for the next person. This is a good product. It filters the juice very well, but when you drop in un-pealed orange, the juice produced (as you expect) is very sour due to the rind.This was a deal breaker for us as we specifically asked the question before we purchased the Juicer.
