Never Changing Mixer Will Eventually Destroy You

promises; it fails to follow through.
When I hear the words "Citrus Bar" I see pictures of a bar leading to a tropical oasis,
Coated with fruit drinks. When I return to reality and realize that we are
Actually discussing a juicer, my creativity pictures a juicer effective at quickly and
Easily supplying citrus juice beverages to an entire bar full of people.
Unfortunately, although my study showed that this particular juicer is very
Good for its low price, I also discovered that it cannot uphold my dreams of serving an
Entire bar full of people in a short time period.
No More Sticky Fingers
A very unique feature included with this juicer is the built-in citrus slicer located
on the inside of the lid.
Behind the 2 reamers and pull down the lid to slice your fruit in half.
My favorite aspect of this feature is that it reduces the mess you will make while
juicing sticky citrus fruits. If there is 1 thing I find annoying about working with
Citrus fruits it's the stickiness of their juices. On more occasions than I can count, I
have found myself running back and forth between my task and my taps, trying to

With this slicing option, There'll be no more sticky juices on
your hands or your countertop.
Alas, the cup-like holding space included with this juicer appears to only
Be large enough to fit a large orange.
having to slice your grapefruits by hand on an external surface.
Twice As Fast
After slicing your citrus fruit in half, you can move each half to its own designated
reamer. Perhaps that explains
Why they chose to call this a citrus bar instead of a citrus juicer.
This Extra convenience means that the juicing process itself will take half the
Time it takes with a traditional single-reamer juicer.
their own reamers, pull down the lid and press gently to initiate the motor. The
motor will cause both reamers to spin as they simultaneously fill the single juice
cup beneath.
One Cup to Catch it All
It is good to know that this system has been designed in such a way as to feed the
Juice from both reamers into precisely the same juice cup. Separate juice cups would only
create more work and more dishes. Unfortunately, the single cup that Dash chose
to include is rather small. I would hazard a guess that about 8 ounces of juice
would fill this cup. That's the equivalent of about one glass of juice.
I honestly expected that this juicer would have included a larger juice cup since it
simultaneously juices two halves of a fruit. I figured that it was made for people
who like to make entire pitchers of juice at a time. I mean, it is called a 'bar' and
Bars generally serve multiple people. Theoretically, you could fill the cup several
times and empty it into individual cups as needed, but I think it would be much
More preferable to fill an entire pitcher and permit guests to serve themselves.
Sufficient Space Required
This is a really large juicer. Making room for two reamers, a holding space for the
slicer, and the motor means that this juicer is wide, deep, and tall. You'll Need a
Large countertop or a large cupboard to house this massive juicer, which
measures approximately 9" high by 9" deep by 9" wide.
Ready, Set, Clean
One of the most popular consumer complains for this machine was the amount of
cleaning required. Although the removable, non-electric Elements of this juicer are
Dishwasher friendly, there are many difficult-to-reach parts which are not
dishwasher safe.
Secondly, many dishwashers have a difficult time cutting through dried-on citrus
juices, which become almost like a plastic coating of their own. Because of this
Difficulty, many consumers have taken to hand washing all portions of the Dash Dual
Citrus Bar. Since this juicer is larger than most others, it contains more parts.
Hand washing these extra parts adds time to the juicing process, meaning that the
time they saved by juicing two halves at once is now lost.
You Get What You Pay For
In the end, consumer reviews for this juicer are usually positive. Most of the
negative reviews revolve around difficulties in fitting a grapefruit inside and
having to individually hand wash pieces of the machine. Another common
Complaint is that the 90-watt motor overheats in case you try to create too much juice
In a short time period.
I suppose that you get what you pay for. This citrus juicer is rather inexpensive
And, thus, cannot be expected to perform as well as more expensive juicers. It
Appears that nearly all consumers who gave positive reviews for this juicer
are aware of this fact and based its high scores on the expectations they had for
this juicer. Although it cannot live up to the standard set forth by more expensive
juicers, it lives up to the quality expected for a juicer of its price.
