Losing an old friend,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: OXO Good Grips Citrus Juicer (Kitchen)
I logged onto Amazon, my eyes still red from my loss. The tragic passing of my vintage glass citrus reamer still fresh in my mind. I could still hear that sound in my head... a crack followed by the tinkling of hundreds of glass shards landing on the floor. For sixty years various citrus met their fate at the unforgiving tip of that glass implement, but those times finally came to their inevitable end.Through tear smeared eyes I browsed amazon to find something to fill the void. The OXO Good Grips Citrus Juicer caught my attention as it was both "Good" and perhaps would help me come to "Grips" with my loss. The good price overcame any fears and in no time it was at my door. My heart was heavy yet ripe with anticipation as I halved a lemon for the test. I chose the smaller of the two reamer sides and started the familiar press and twist. Amazingly the well designed reamer tore through the lemon and in no time I was left holding an empty shell - scraped clean of all its lemony goodness. Seeds and rinds remained on the top and tart juice filled the measuring cup below. As much as I missed the nostalgia and whimsy of my old glass friend, the performance and design of my new partner was exciting! I threw the OXO on the ground to see if I would be betrayed, but it simply bounced and came to a rest with a durable clunk comforting my mind. Since then dozens of lemons, limes, and oranges have met their end. The sadness is gone and my kitchen more efficient than ever thanks to another well designed product from OXO.

Rated best citrus juicer by America's Test Kitchen / Cook's Illustrated,
By "After testing nine models, I found that the better models have a pointed tip, which effectively pierces the core of the lemon and grabs hold. Without the pointed tip, the lemon slips right off the head. The second important feature is the sharpness of the ridges. Those with sharp, pointed ridges "gripped" the lemon well, making it easy to extract maximum juice with minimum effort, while those with rounded ridges caused the lemon to slide around, making for difficult juicing. The two winners of our tests were the plastic Oxo Good Grips Citrus Juicer ($11.99) and the Fox Run Wood Lemon Reamer ($2.99). They both juiced lemons quickly and efficiently. The Oxo Citrus Juicer features a unique design with two open, ridged heads (for large and small citrus fruit) and a non-skid bowl for juice collection. The Fox Run reamer has a classic design and an especially comfortable handle." I have found ATK/CI equipment reviews to be reliable and am ordering it on their recommendation!

Not For The Dishwasher,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This juicer has two juicer attachments to juice large fruits, (grapefruits) or small fruits, (lemons and limes). Very easy to use, but not ready for the dishwasher. Very easy to take it apart and hand-wash. The first juicer became warped when we put it in the dishwasher. This purchase was simply a replacement.
