Review on 🍊 Commercial-grade Home Citrus Lever Squeezer - Manual Fruit Juicer for Oranges, Lemons, Limes, Grapefruits, and More - Stainless Steel and Cast Iron Construction - Non-skid Suction Cup Base - 15 Inch Size - by Vollum by Amy Dockery

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works fairly well, but doesn't fully compress.

This is the taller of the two models. We bought it to squeeze Mayer lemons, which are about the size of oranges. It does a pretty good job of releasing juice quickly, holds all but the smallest of seeds, and is easy to clean. However, the downward-pressing part has a different shape of a perforated dome, onto which it presses the fetus. The tip is conical. The bottom center of the base is also almost conical but then becomes cylindrical as seen in the first photo. The effect is that the juice is squeezed out of the center very well, but the flesh around the edges isn't squeezed out, so you end up losing some juice. See the second photo for an example. It doesn't seem too difficult to solve this by simply reshaping one of the bottom pieces so that the conical shape further matches the top piece. I deducted one star and almost deducted two stars for this reason.

Pros
  • Economical
Cons
  • No mold required
