Review on πŸ‹ Premium Stainless Steel Lemon Squeezer Citrus Juicer - Heavy Duty Manual Hand Press for Fresh Juice Extraction - Bonus 50 Pcs Filter Bags Included by Regina Poe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easier than juicing by hand

Overall the juicer works well. It's fairly durable and can easily carry over 50 pounds on the handle. The metal is slightly magnetic, which isn't a definitive test, but at least proves it's not stainless steel. Under full load the handle flexes a little but there is no separation or flex at the welds so I don't expect them to fail. My first test was to juice 20 limes for lemonade, cut in half and squeeze each half a few times to maximize the juice. If you're juicing oranges or grapefruits, which have a smoother rind and fill the cup better, you may not need to press multiple times, but instead press YMMV. Cleaning is easy and although it claims to be dishwasher safe I will only hand wash it because it's so quick and easy. The juicer is actually smaller than expected, which is good as it's easy to store and doesn't take up too much space. However, you can still juice half a large orange at a time. An exceptionally large grapefruit may need quartering, but this juicer will still work. Lemonade works great. It's also great for juicing in small batches for cooking when you're having trouble squeezing citrus. You can place the base on the stand and transfer your weight to the top handle with no grip strength. It is also convenient to use under such circumstance as it is small and easy to store, requiring very little time for setup/cleaning. The filter grill moves a bit and isn't perfectly symmetrical, but this doesn't bother you when using the juicer. I also didn't use the packets that came with it as I don't mind a bit of pulp and I think it would be better to just strain the juice afterwards unless making very small batches where everything goes in a bag or two fits. It's much easier to use more than a regular dome juicer, even an electric one, and doesn't cause hand cramps. I've managed to get almost all of the juice out of my limes with multiple presses, and even one press would do you better than other ubiquitous presses.
