Review on Pro-Grade Stainless Steel Lemon Squeezer - Ergonomic, Non-Slip Grip Design - Effortlessly Extract More Juice with Fewer Seeds - Handheld Citrus Fruit Juicer by Elizabeth Rue

The juicer works well if you remove the grips on the handles. The thickness of the handles does not allow the handles to close when fully compressed. I squeezed 1 lemon and took it off. Juice, water and bacteria get caught in these handles, so just remove them. You can tell they were an afterthought. 3" hole squeezes out lemons and small oranges. The rivet pin holding the two halves together looks like the weak link. Time will tell. I squeezed 50-60 lemons and it worked. Don't use 2 hands and squeeze as hard as you can - you might break it, some reviewers have reported.You don't want to squeeze so hard to get the pulp flavor into your juice, so just squeeze until the juice won't come out Remove with Dawn Soap effortlessly removes citrus oil residue on flasks It comes in a VERY pretty box - not necessarily unless it's a gift.
