It occurs in both directions but more in counter clockwise direction. The juicer appears to have a weak motor. Putting even small pressure on th squizzed orange procudes loud, nasty voice and the motor stops. I have to squizz the oranges very gingerly and it takes a long time. Best feature - it's very easy to clean
I am very happy with my citrus juicer. It works well and is very easy to clean. I have a more expensive juicer for carrots and celery and other types of vegatable juices, but I find this juicer far superior when one wants to juice citrus. This juicer is an excellent value.
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.
(otherwise it builds up and blocks the juice from going through) I was disappointed in the cover, which just sort of sits on top of the pitcher as opposed to snapping on or fastening in some way. I purchased this because the Proctor Silex one I wanted was not available from Amazon directly. It slid off repeatedly until it eventually fell on the floor and broke. I sometimes have a hard time getting the juice pitcher off of the motor mount, it actually got stuck once and I spilled half of my juice getting it off. It actually juices well, and the pulp catcher does it's job if you remove excess pulp as you go. Other than that the motor itself is strong and gets all the juice out effectively. In retrospect I wish I had purchased the other one.
Pulp builds up fast and top 3 parts have to be constantly dumped and rinsed off.pitcher part constantly slips out of "lock" position and the whole thing flies apart when handling it but not when juicing. As long as the price stays cheap then it's worth it. Has a convenient wind-in cord holder underneath. (under $12-$13) Great little first-time juicer.my kids love juicing their own oranges. Don't be in a hurry for the juice as it juices rather slowly and all juice will be very pulpy whether you have the little plastic "catcher" set to catch pulp or not plus doesn't do the greatest job getting all the juice out. The annoyances are minor (sound worse than they actually are as it's very simple to use and easy to clean) considering you are paying so little for this cute little thing. Worth the money for the occasional, not-so-serious juicer.
