Kenwood Chef / XL AT312 Citrus Juice Attachment - Silver & White

I bought this citrus press last week to add to the other rapidly growing attachments for my Kenwood Chef, a little sceptical after some of the comments but it has hardly been off my Kenwood Mixer and to date I am really, really pleased with it. To address a couple of the more negative comments; yes it does sit high but I am tall so it is no problem for me but I can see that it may be too high for some (although a small mobile step would solve this problem). I was a little concerned about the reports of the smoothness of the spinning cone but it is perfect for my 12 year old son to use without worrying about him hurting himself - it works a treat and there is no waste. You do not have to be strong to push down the fruit either; I juiced a pomegranate today with ease. For small limes, after I have halved them, I cut a centimetre line up the side of the with a knife before juicing which makes it fit the cone a little better. It is simple to put together, easy to clean and has been in the dish washer. A little messy on the hands but that is a minor con against the many pro's. Very speedy delivery from Amazon. I have just bought a pasta maker so I hope that turns out as good as this citrus press.

Bought this item to replace a Magimix juicer which despite its ability to process every kind of fruit, I only ever used for juicing oranges. Given this was a sixth of the price of the Magimix and some of the negative reviews i read, I was somewhat dubious but as a lifeling fan of Kenwood I decided to give it a whirl. I am glad I did! Very well made product. Easy to attach, easy to store and dead easy to clean. You need to have a farly good grip to keep the oranges in place but if you follow the instructions to start on a low speed and work up gradually to speed 3, it works brilliantly. There was little if any spatter and it was very useful having the measuring jug underneath. I tend to buy copious amounts of the 'cheap' oranges from supermarkets which are in fact extremely juicy and have thin skins so great to juice. Highly recommend this product.

This is a great juicer that gets just about all the juice out of whatever citrus you throw at it. My only misgiving about it is that it is loud due to the gearing needed to slow the juicer down from the high speed outlet speed. A friend of mine has the same juicer in appearance (bought a couple of years ago) but it fits on the medium speed outlet and is much quieter. I'm not sure why Kenwood changed this, maybe it was putting too much strain on the mixer.

I bought this citrus press two month ago to add to my collection of attachments for my Kenwood Chef. This press is well made. Yes it does sit a little bit higher so I am using a small stool. The cone is perfect size for my grapefruit. I move the grapefruit half around a little, to make sure I get all the juice out of it. Great product so easy to use and clean, a very sturdy product. I would highly recommend it.

Doesn’t work if u put orange on it it stops spinning

I love my Kenwood Chef, it is just the most amazing piece of kitchen equipment, and is as good today as it was 10 years ago when I bought it. This Citrus press is just as well made. I could not be more impressed. It fits on the upper drive and creates an excellent citrus juice. It is easy to put together and to break down to pop in the dishwasher, or rinse under the tap. The juice is wonderful, flavoursome and of course natural. The peel is left intact with little juice left in the pulp, and so it is also economic in use. Recommended

I don't really understand the negative reviews and was a little concerned about ordering when I read them. However, I have arthritis in my hands and can no longer use a manual reamer. I cut a couple of oranges and put them on the press. With very little pressure, I was able to get well over 100ml of juice from them very quickly and easily. An absolute dream when compared with using a manual reamer and not a drop of juice left in the shells. No, the height isn't the best, but it's what I expected and certainly no more difficult than adding something to the jug blender when using it. Yes, it is large, but then a lot of manual jug blenders are this size. How would it cope with other citrus fruit? I'm not sure. The cone is quite large, so I'm not sure how well it would cope with limes and perhaps even lemons. I've never juiced grapefruit and again am unsure how it would cope. I intend to experiment with all though and will edit my review accordingly. Edited 24 March I've juiced lemons, limes and grapefruit (in addition to oranges) well on the citrus press. I hadn't been totally convinced it would work with limes, but it does a good job. I move the grapefruit half around a little, to make sure I get all the juice out of it.

This juicer is great for the chef, and does citrus fruits in jig time, but the juicer head spindle is very weak and the socket it goes into is also plastic, so you need to be oh so gentle with the amount of downwards pressure you use or else you can strip away the threads

Kwaliteit maar ik gebruik deze pers niet meer. Je moet gehoorkappen op doen omdat het ding gewelddadig veel lawaai maakt. Erg jammer en ik snap niet of dit normaal is. Een Heavy Metal Band volgas is prettiger dan dit monster. Ik raad dit product af!

Extremt dåligt och billigt konstruerad dessutom bullrig som en B-52 "taking off". Efter att ha pressat fyra (!) apelsiner gav den medföljande plastväxellådan upp. Tillbaka till Amazon samma dag jag fick det. Se bifogad video.

Very happy, works well with my kewood mixer, exactly what I wanted.

If you have a Kenwood or Delonghi food processor, this attachment is a must, especially at the price it is offered here.!! Delighted.

Funciona perfectamente. Fácil de usar y de limpiar. Haces zumos rápidamente y de forma cómoda. Necesitas tener el robot de cocina kenwood. Es un accesorio fundamental si te gusta el zumo recién exprimido.
