Shuts down after a few min
I bought this for its simplicity and it didn't disappoint. Easy to use and clean. Got a bag full of oranges and cut them all up to juice. After just a few oranges, the device shut off. I tried everything to get it back up and running. Apparently in the manual, it indicates after a few min of usage (IIRC the manual says 10 min, more like 5min in my opinion) it needs to rest. Presumably due to heat generated by the motor. What it fails to mention is how long. I run my AC at 74F, so its not like I'm doing this in the hot sun. It took almost 15-20 min for the device to cool down enough to start another session. There are no vents on the side or on the bottom from what I remember to vent out the motor. Horrible design. I get that it needs to cool down. But after 5-10 min of use? For 20 min?
