Best Everyday Premium Quality Squeezer-18/10 Stainless Steel Citrus Juicer Manual Lemon Juice Press, 1

It's a very nice juicer! I tested 3 others as well and this one is the best one out of 4. Feels very solid and sturdy, not wobbly. Handles don't flex when squeezing. Solid stainless steel, so no corrosion. It is heavy, but it doesn't make it hard to use, just feels nice. The same juicer can be used for limes, lemons and oranges.The only downfall I found is that it's a little hard to get most of the juice out of small key limes. When the handles are touching there is a gap between the squeezing surfaces. Not a big deal for regular size limes, lemons and oranges, but not the best for key limes.The solution I found to that is to squeeze one half, take it out, put the other half in, put the already squeezed half on top of the new half (already squeezed one goes in pulp side up, so the skins are touching) and squeeze them together. I do make sure my key limes are washed prior to doing this because the juice will be coming in contact with the skins. I actually started using this technique with the regular size limes as well. Helps to get more juice out.So the bottom line - it's the best juicer out of 4 I tested, but I wish there was no gap between the squeezing surfaces. Yes, the handles would never touch while squeezing citrus but it would give an option of applying more pressure to the citrus halves.So, I'm keeping this one and returning the other 3. Great job, Cookeezi! :)

I bought this because it claimed to be "the Best Premium Quality Lemon and Lime Squeezer" and the price at $30+ seemed to bear this out. However, the handle snapped off while juicing a piece of lemon. I did purchase almost 3 years ago, but used infrequently.

A very well built and functional tool for the kitchen. It has heft but is not overly heavy. It achieves its purpose extracting juice effectively, straining the seeds, and holding the spent rind in place. Worth the money.

Contrary to what reviewers wrote, one handle is not solid and will retain water. . .until you pick it up and drip water all over. My copy arrived dingy and with some rust inside the hinge. I don't know that it had been previously used, but it looked it. Dull finish, discolored, stained. One the bright side, it does squeeze a lemon. Just be careful when you pull it out of the dishwasher.

I just got it today, cleaned off the manufacturing gunk and juiced my lemon with chaser of warm water. So overall it is a very high quality product however when I went to wash it the second time I noticed the the top handle is actually hollow and will hold water if not tilted to allow it to flow out. I thought the handles were solid stainless but they are not, I suppose this is not an issue seeing as the juicing action takes place in the bowl part and yet I would prefer a solid stainless steel handle for this price. However, hollow handle aside I would consider this a high quality item, the handles are very solid and do not bend (or break as some cast aluminum would), the ease of cleaning is nice, and the fact that it has a 60 day warranty is a plus.*** If I were to design a citrus juicer it would be very similar to this with the exception of the hollow handle on the top or if it were hollow just enclosing the hollow section with a weld that would prevent water from entering the cavity also maybe having the point of the cone and bottom of the bowl (where the actual work of juicing us being done) making contact when the handles are fully depressed.*** For the basic consumer this product performs more than adequate and should certainly stand the test of time. I just hope this company also reads the 5 star reviews to enhance the hygiene of their product and fully satisfy even the most fastidious consumers.

works well if you are strong. not for arthritsis patients

One week of daily use and seems to be of better quality than several alternative versions that I have tried, including an aluminum one with chipping paint and a plastic one that cracked. Big enough for the largest of lemons. Wish the handles were a bit wider for squeezing comfort and that there was not a narrow gap between the top lip and bowl which is hard to clean by hand yet does not appear to become very dirty. I believe all stainless steel versions are constructed in this manner.

I was hoping to like this given the reviews thinking I'd have it for awhile and not go with the cheaper plastic versions; however, I should have. This does have an opening to one of the handles where water gets into and it rusts. Juices pretty decently but doesn't close 100% of the way so miss a little. Fits up to a small orange.
