This Chef'n Juicer is the best Juicer I've owned.
I enjoy my Gin (Sapphire) and Tonics and like to press 1/2 lime into a drink (Fever-Tree Tonic Water highly recommended too), as well as fresh lime juice in a margarita. I put my presses to the test!
I've have owned a bunch of the green or yellow single hinged juicers which have served well but don't last very long, either pop a rivet or the hinge breaks. They also gum up with repeated use and are difficult to clean (I think maybe the wax on the fruit??).
This juicer uses a mechanical advantage for pressing which requires much less pressure and gets most juice in one press.
The press surfaces are also more durable and easier to clean.
Own this juicer and you will not be happy using the old style.
Only con I might list is it only comes in one size (big emough for a good sized lemon) but even with the smaller limes I get a good press.

The gear mechanism advertised to increase force is made of plastic. The second time I used this juicer the last tooth of the plastic gear broke. The first time I used it was on small limes, so the thinner skin probably didn't stress it as much. Such a high stress part really should have been made of something much stronger (perhaps stainless steel).

Looks like a great idea: use compound leverage to increase the squeezing power/make squeezing easier.
However, there are some SERIOUS problems.
First,
do to the compound leverage design, you do have to open the handles WAY up to fit a normal sized half lemon in. So for people with smaller or weak hands: you're going to have to use 2 hands starting off because the handles will be so far apart.
However, the real problem comes with the materials used in the design. A few pieces are made of glitzy looking polished metal, but the rest is made of very soft and weak plastic. The handles bend and flex and bottom out / touch each other before the fruit is even fully squeezed.
After a few weeks of use the handles where starting to flex even more and seemed to be deformed.
After about a month of use the plastic near the hindge cracked and the unit literally fell apart. Thanks to Williams Sonoma and there awesome customer service for letting me take this back and put the money towards a better made tool.
If this thing where made out of 100% metal or even use a glass reinforced plastic or carbon fiber in place of the crappy plastic, I would gladly pay 2 to 3x the price. But with the current design, it's totally worthless.
DO NOT BUY

This works like a champ! You have to put the half lime in so that it is turned inside-out when pressed. Do not put it in so that it follows the contour of the cup... Read more

so much better
I've bought a few different ones in the past and they've all broke and were a pain to use. This one takes such a small amount of force and really gets every bit of juice out. Read more

Easy to use, hard to clean...
Love this item, except for the clean up. It squeezes the limes and lemons effectively, but if you squeeze too fast it can squirt all over. Read more

Great product
This is a great lemon squeezer. It squeezes double the amount with half the strength thanks to its original mechanism. Very durable. Lovely color. I use it daily. Read more

Citrus juicer
Works great for juicing the limes from my Mexican Lime (Key lime) tree. They are small limes and a problem to juice. This juicer works great. I highly recommend

Works as advertised
Some people didn't like this and I don't know why. Yes, it flexes a bit, but it's more than strong enough to fully invert the lemon with one easy squeeze. Read more

Lemon juicer
Like most reviews say, it squeezes lemons very well. It is easy to clean it does not rust, no enamel chips off and it should hold up very well. It is hefty and it does the job
