If you have arthritis in your hands like I do, you’ll love this juicer.  My husband & I drink a hot cup of lemon juice & water every morning. I was cutting the lemon with a knife & squeezing the lemon juice with my hands & it was killing me.  A friend recommended this juicer & I’m so grateful that Cuisinart makes such a wonderful product.  I would highly recommend it to anyone, arthritis or not.  It makes my mornings so much easier & less painful.
