I got this in an effort to minimize all the clutter in my cabinets, and I'm very happy with this little juicer. I still use the juicer attachment to my stand mixer for larger jobs, but for everyday use when cooking, this little juicer is great. I like that I can juice just one lemon or lime for a recipe and I can also measure the amount with the same piece of equipment. So often, a recipe will call for just a tablespoon or so of juice, and this way I don't have to dirty up a larger juicer and then a measuring spoon. I also like the non-slip padding on the underside.

I was looking for a lemon and lime juicer, something easy to use and cheap. This item fits the bill wonderfully.

It's three pieces. The bottom cup has a little spout on it. It also has a non-skid ring on the bottom to help prevent splippage. The top and bottom cups are graduated with Tbls, ml, and Cups measurements. All three pieces fit very well together and disassemble easily. Also, the manufacturer states that this is dishwasher safe, though I hand-wash mine.

My mother in law has already made lots and lots of bottles of her "healthy" style lemonade with this contraption. When you're done, it fits easily into a tall drawer/cubbard.

It is made entirely out of plastic, so we'll see how long this thing lasts, though I personally only plan to use it infrequently.

All in all, I feel like I got a really good value at ~$5, especially compared to all these other more expensive juicers that may or may not juice all that well.

It's so simple, even I could have thought of it. No modern gadgetry--just a traditional juicer that's been designed to provide the most juice for the least amount of effort. The arch and grooves are shaped just right, the base is secure, and the dome--while not especially useful as a "measuring cup"--assures things don't get sprayed all over the place (and person) after the juice has been secured in the base. This takes the sting, some of the mess, and most of the work out of putting the squeeze on 5-6 lemons.

Wish all the gadgets I ordered were this inexpensive and efficient.

I was initially hesitant about buying a plastic juicer. The glass ones seemed so much easier to clean, stronger, more sanitary and like they would be easier to use. Those assumptions were totally wrong. My wife pointed out to me afterwards that this one worked better because the plastic edges on the dome are sharper and as the fruit gets turned, the sharp edges actually pop the cells of the fruit so that the juice can be released. For safety reasons, the ridges on glass and other plastic models are rounded and do not have this popping effect.

Secondly, the dome and strainer at the bottom fit very snuggly onto the bottom which is made of a very high grade plastic. It even has a rubber ring on the bottom so that the juicer doesn't turn as you spin the fruit. Don't worry if you think it will break. I am quite strong (and decently heavy) and there is no give or wobble in the product even when I lean on it with my full weight.

Just to test it, I took a lime which I had already used another juicing tool on and used this juicer to see what more I could get out of it. More came out of it than with the original. This one just seems to be designed way better.

I realize that it seems rather silly to get excited over a juicer that costs less than $10 but I do a lot of cooking with citrus fruits and this has made life so much easier. Get one and you won't be disappointed.

I've used the juicer to make lemonade and orange juice. It's simple and sturdy. You can add the pulp to your drink or keep it separate. The top and bottom pieces are both measuring cups. I like this juicer a lot, highly recommended!

I love this juicer! It works really well, and I really like that you can pour your juice into the round cup (shown on top of the juicer in the picture) and that round cup has measurements for you. It's simple, it works, and best of all--it's cheap! I highly recommend it!

I didn't need a fancy juicer, and this worked out perfectly. Great for lemons, limes and small oranges it's easy to use, and the strainer keeps the seeds out. Too small for grapefruit - you would need something bigger.

I bought this and it is of the poorest quality. The juicer part will not snap on the base. It just pops off. This is going straight back to Amazon.

Also, mine was orange and not white as shown.

Good value for the price, effectively juices limes, lemons and small oranges, which is what I purchased it for. Would not fit large oranges or grapefruit on it though. I used to make lime meringue pie one day, unfortunately for this many limes it was exhausting to use. Great for the price though, and good if you don't need to squeeze much, saves you cleaning a bigger machine. I use the measuring cup for other things too. One thing I will say is that the cup/lid on top doesn't stay on very well which can get annoying.

I love the design of this juicer but I plan to return it because the base does not fit together with the juicer and lid.
