Real Stainless Steel Lemon Squeezer Citrus Juicer Hand Press Heavy Duty Manual Squeeze Juice Extractor Maker Orange Lime Grapefruit Presser - Bonus 50 Pcs Filter Bags

Overall this juicer performs well. It is quite sturdy and took 50+ pounds on the handle without any issues. The metal is slightly magnetic which isn't a definitive test, but at the very least proves that it isn't made of a non stainless steel. There is some flex in the handle under full load but no separation or flexing at welds so I do not expect them to fail. My initial testing was juicing 20 limes for limeade, cut in half, pressing each half multiple times to maximize the juice. If you are juicing oranges or grapefruit which have more compliant skins and better fill the cup, you may not have to squeeze multiple times but YMMV. Cleanup is easy and while it claims to be dishwasher safe, I will just hand wash because it's so quick and simple. ​The juicer is actually smaller than expected which is good because it can be easily stored and doesn't take up too much room. That said, you should still be able to juice half a large orange at a time. Exceptionally large grapefruit may have to be quartered, but should still work with this juicer.If you plan on juicing 10+ pounds of citrus for a lemonade stand, you may want to look for a more professionally style press, but for a pitcher or two of lemonade this works great. This would also be great for juicing small portions for cooking if you have problems squeezing citrus. You are able to place the base on a counter and put your weight on the top handle without needing grip strength. It is also convenient to use in those circumstances as it is small and easy to store, and requires very little set up/cleaning time.The strainer grid moves around a bit and isn't perfectly symmetrical but that doesn't impede the use of the juicer. I also didn't use the included bags because I don't mind a little pulp, and think it would be better just to strain the juice afterward unless making very small batches with everything fitting in one or two bags.This is much easier to use than your typical dome citrus juicer, even an electric one, and doesn't leave you with cramping hands. I was able to get pretty much all the juice out of my limes with multiple presses, and even with a single press you would be doing better than those other ubiquitous presses.

Great surface area and leverage to really squeeze the "juice" out of some pureed ginger I had .... making my own ginger ale syrup for my Sodastream/water carbonater. (hint, dont cook 1/3 of the puree). I didn't like that there was a big gap between the sides of the "flap" and the "bowl" and that the "flap" wouldn't squeeze tight against the side of the "bowl." But it came with ten or so reuesable cheesecloth bags, and it all worked just fine. it was a bit "clattery/noisy" though. I bet this could make small batches of sesame oil, or do anything you wouldn't want to buy a giant "screw" press for. Simple cleanup ... and I washed the bag. Too soon to tell how long the bags will last, but I estimate 10 uses or so. Eventually I'll have to figure out how to get more of them. So, for citrus, I'm sure its great. For purees / emulsions and such, you'll need the bags. Going from memory the bags were 4"x6", or 3"x5" or so.

I used to use a cast aluminum citrus squeezer but decide to give this style a try.It is dishwasher safe which is better than aluminum.The handle has some flex to it when I really squeeze a fruit… and I suspect the handle or the rivets holding the handle to the pressing plate, will eventually be the first part to brake.Still we’ll see. So far so good.

I would not recommend this, except maybe in the sink. It sprays a bit of juice no matter how slowly I squeeze it.Its's a firm squeeze that could be a bit much much for weak hands. Put a pad under the end of the bottom handle and you can just push down on something. It would really nice if they had put something flat on the end for that.I live in a neighborhood that was formerly a Sunkist citrus orchard, so I have a small (5oz) glass or two of orange juice every day during the season when oranges are basically free.I use it in an outdoor sink and it's great for that. I would not use it for more a couple of than small glasses - or half a dozen oranges. I like the juice from tangelos so I get some seeds but they float so I can skim them off with a teaspoon. They include some filter bags but that would remove the pulp which makes fresh squeezed orange juice great.This is the best I have found (I think I've tried most of them) for daily use. I have an electric juicer that I will use if I ever want to do a lot for freezing, but it's way too much cleanup for a couple of glasses.

Worked really great until it broke. The squeeze handle literally broke off due to poor soldering. Now it is unsae. There is nowhere on here to ask for product support so a bad review it is.

I get way more juice from this item than any other lemon squeezer I’ve purchased before.

I tried several different small plastic "citrus fruit juice extractors", and none of them worked well, and were quite messy to use. This looked like "overkill" at first, but it does the job exceptionally well, and is simple to use and to clean. I mostly use it for fresh lemon juice to use in cooking, and to flavor steamed vegetables. The pouring spout on this squeezer makes it easy to store the liquid in a small plastic condiment container with a removable cap, so I wind up squeezing several lemons all at once every couple of weeks or so. The mesh bags that come with it to keep pulp and seeds out of the juice are really not necessary, as the metal "sieve" piece that you put on top of the fruit before squeezing does that job quite nicely.
