God reamer until......

I happily attached my reamer to my stand mixer. It worked great until a small piece of metal fell off into the strainer. It is not the large washer but a smaller washer type piece of metal with cut outs. I can not determine where this piece attaches. The attachment still reams, but not well and with a lot of noise. I feel sure this can be remedied, but I am not sure how. Please help.

Juicer did not work properly

I was excited to use this as I had looked all over. It doesn't fit properly on my mixer. My mixer got very hot and I have only used it once. I hope it isn't broken. The shaft isn't long enough and thus there is no way to secure both the juice catcher and the juicer. I need to return it.

....are so unreliable that I went back to my old glass one which captures pulp very nicely, and doesn't take up any space. I've also used the citrus juicer for the food processor and at first it worked very nicely, though after 6 months the plastic star-like juicer parts were getting singed/burnt from the friction with the cover as there's no perfect size fruit to match them.

I like this juicer, but there is a grease problem

I get bulk supplies of lemons and oranges and like to squeeze and freeze for use later. Once I'm set up, it goes along great and in no time my work is done :) The last couple of times I used it though, oil kept leaking and spraying from the gear shaft. I had to continually keep wiping it away to keep out of the juice.The grease leaks right where my juice is expelling. Can this be corrected? Would replacing the gear shaft fix the problem? When buying my KitchenAid mixer and additional parts, I felt I was investing in the best tools available. I would like to salvage the tool but do not want grease in my juices. Can you help? If we can resolve this issue, I would definitely recommend this accessory to friends and family.

Very poor design

I bought this citrus extractor to avoid having another small appliance on the counter top. Unfortunately, it's so poorly designed that I prefer to use the old style manual citrus extractor for everyday use. Besides the sort of *reasonable* price, I really cannot came up with any pros on this attachment, perhaps the worst from all other KA attachments that I've used. 1) The extractor sits vertically (instead of horizontally) and leaves a very large gap between its spout and the countertop. Unless you use a very large pitcher that sits right under the spout you'll end with juice all over the place 2) The "vertical* design also means that you have to press horizontally against the mixer, which will skid backwards as you press (you may wish to bolt the stand mixer to your counter…) 3) The mesh for the pulp is so small that you need to clean it pressing one orange, otherwise the juice will overflow and get even more mess in your kitchen 3) All- plastic construction with a few cheap and non durable metal parts (the lock washer that goes on the rod broke after one use) 4) The few metal components are not stainless steel 5) Perhaps this was conceived for a 3 handed individual, as you need one hand to hold the fruit, one hand to hold a glass close to the spout and one hand to hold the mixer so that it does not skid backwards I hope KA reads this and eventually come up with a better designed attachment for this purpose.
