I agree that for whatever reason, they can vary a lot. I recall buying
Cara Caras about 20 years ago for 10 cents each. For a couple of
weeks I was eating probably 40-50 of them a week. Last week I
polished off a 3# bag of mandarins at one go.

I have juiced thousands of citrus fruits, and abused mine to the
point of triggering the thermal shutdown a few times, but it just
keeps on going like that pink bunny. They haven't made them for
over 20 years. There's an NOS that's a great deal too.

If you don't have one, you really should. I have a bigger Cuisinart,
but it doesn't have the kickass juicer.
