Review on 🍊 HIC Citrus Juicer Reamer: Heavyweight Glass with Handle and Pour Spout - The Ultimate Essential for Juicing Citrus Fruits by Veronica Wade

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Sturdy, easy to clean, but the reamer is small and the juice reservoir is shallow

I wanted a simple hand held orange squeezer the old fashioned way. I love the simplicity of this durable glass juicer. It is inexpensive and very easy to wash off after use. This is one thing that is really good, easy to store and easy to take with you on a weekend trip. There are two problems with it that make it less desirable. First, the plate where the juice collects is flat and fills up quickly, getting the bowl and even your hand pretty wet. The reamer, with the sharp edges in the center, is not big enough to accommodate typical Valencian or Navel oranges, so you can't grate the pulp well on the reamer. Also the swing is too short leaving the orange halves lying in the juice that has pooled in the peel so you end up trying to squeeze out the remaining juice by hand by picking up the orange half and squeezing between your fingers. bare hands. If the pointed reamer was taller and wider to actually fit in the orange halves, the juicer would be a lot better.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
