Amazon.com Review

Pop half a lemon or lime in this juicer and firmly squeeze; the half turns completely inside out, with every drop of juice pressed out. The juicer quickly presses limes for margaritas and lemons for baking or lemonade. Made of heavy (but not too heavy), powder-coated cast iron with soft Santoprene handles to absorb pressure, this nifty 9-inch squeezer goes right in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. --Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the price, May 14, 2003

This is a terrific kitchen tool that is well worth the price. Two preparation techniques can help you maximize juice extraction:

1. Pressing hard, roll the fruit on a counter-top with the palm of your hand. This loosens the membrane from the rind.

2. Cut an "X" into the face of the fruit after you have sliced it in half. This allows the skin to completely invert when squeezed.

I am a huge fan of fresh limeade. I've always hated squeezing limes for it and I've tried just about every inexpensive juicer there is. I finally broke down and bought one of these, and it is great! I squeezed 20 key limes in just a few minutes and it got most of the juice out. It works even better with larger limes and lemons. And, it was easy to clean and looks great - bright yellow with black rubberized handles. The only minor problems it has is that it is rather heavy and a little tough to squeeze (enough that it would be horrible for arthritic people) and it tends to spray the juice all over if you squeeze too fast. Despite these issues, I still think this is the best juicer I've ever seen and I am very pleased with my purchase. It is definitely worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, May 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Orange-X Lemon/Lime Squeezer, Yellow (Kitchen)

I was amazed to get over 8 tablespoons of juice out of 2 limes. The Squeezer is easy to use and the fruit is literally "dry" when you've finished. I think one of the reasons it works so well is due to how heavy it is. I don't know if it's dishwasher safe because it didn't come with any directions or comments.
