For everyone interested in purchasing this fruit squeezer, it is important to be aware that it is not intended to actually squeeze fruit with... it's a fascinating decorative object for your kitchen.

So don't buy this product if you like fruit juice, but certainly do buy it if you like design... personally I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A astonishing metal sculpture that I squeeze lemons with, March 11, 2010

This review is from: Alessi Juicy Salif Citrus Squeezer (Kitchen)

Salif squeezer: this is a neat metal sculpture, a piece of art, that stands by itself and not really the juicer you want to heavy use if you make money with a lemonade stand.You can buy at your local store a cheap, electric squeezer than works 10 times faster, but this piece is not an ordinary citrus squeezer. It is a beautifully crafted object, a design absolutely unique, and 110% a great piece of conversation that must not be concealed in a cabinet... it has to be exposed on the counter, or anywhere, as I said... has identity and it stands by itself! I receive-it as a gift and I'm so happy I own it, and Yes I do use it to squeeze lemons and limes, in fact is the only squeezer I have in my kitchen. Like other products made by Alessi it looks and perform great ! Love it !

2.0 out of 5 stars The Juicy Salif, September 23, 2004

A Kid's Review

The Salif is a perfect piece of design sculpture but the advantages stop there, the product should not really be allowed in a kitchen due to the difficulty that it creates. If you want to make a design statement buy this, if you want to buy a juicer put your money away.
