I love the yellow-and-green design; not only is it cheerful and fitting for its purpose, the design helps the new or occasional user know how to use the device correctly. To make lemonade, place the (yellow) lemon half into the yellow section; to make limeade, place the (green) lime half into the green section.
When you see those bowl-shaped sections, it may seem counterintuitive but you actually place the fruit in face-down so the squeezed juice can flow easily through the holes. Ideally, pressing would cause the rind to take the shape of the bowl, completely inverting it and making the entire surface squeezable, but that doesn't quite happen. I use the Zulay squeezer first because it does cut down on the workload and changes it from totally requiring the use of the small finger and thumb joints.
I gave it 4 stars because used alone, it is not very efficient. But I will continue to use it along with the manual stainless steel juicer I have used for decades. This one looks like mine: https://smile.amazon.com/Stainless-Citrus-Orange-Squeezer-Kitchen/dp/B092VJ6V5J/ref=sr_1_24?crid=1RLICVSPV9F21&keywords=stainless+steel+manual+juicer&qid=1666046642&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI0LjYwIiwicXNhIjoiMy45OCIsInFzcCI6IjQuNDgifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=stainless+steel+manual+%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-24
My old juicer has the added benefit of allowing the capture of as much pulp as possible.
NOTE: Pulp is precious. It is largely fiber, something sorely lacking in the Western diet. It also visually says "homemade" about your fresh-squeezed drinks.
I also have a favorite knife for this purpose. I have the yellow one, naturally. It makes it easy to spot, a good thing. The rounded tip makes it ideal for removing citrus seeds and pushing the pulp down the channels of the stainless steel juicer without ever touching the knife's blade. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0052C21HG/ref=dp_iou_view_item?ie=UTF8&th=1
Here's my process for making excellent ice-cold lemon or lime ades or waters:
1. Pre-Preparation Refrigerate the lemons or limes; they keep much better; like all of the other elements, they help produce an ice-cold drink without the need for ice. Refrigerate your clean pitcher or other serving vessel. Refrigerate the water for your drink. I always keep a silicone spatula in my traditional large glass pitcher to stir before pouring; that gets refrigerated, too. Except for the fruit, they all stay in the back of the refrigerator, where it is coldest.
2. Prepare you workspace and tools.
• I fold a paper towel to catch any juice as I slice the the fruit. I also put any seeds there.
• I use a non-slip surface under the stainless steel juicer. It eliminates any need for holding the device in place.
• I leave the pitcher and water in the refrigerator until needed.
To squeeze lemons or limes:
• Roll each fruit on a solid surface, such as the kitchen counter. Rolling them allows them to give up their juice more readily. Be tough on them, pressing down, and in from each end, remembering that there won't be any significant juice in the knobby end of lemons.
• Lay each fruit on the paper towel with the ends of the fruit on the left and the right, not touching the towel. Ignoring any knob on a lemon, determine the center of the fruit and cut in two equal halves.
• Remove any visible seeds, and any slightly visible just under the cut surface, using the knife or a fingernail. Place the seeds around edges of the towel for easy cleanup.
• Place half of the fruit in the appropriate bowl-shaped container of the Zulay squeezer. Holding it over the stainless steel juicer, squeeze until no more juice comes out. I find that it is worth opening the device, rotating the fruit rind slightly and squeezing it again a time or two.
• After removing the rind, I place it atop the stainless steel juicer and lay the Zulay squeezer upside down to avoid loosing any juice. Examine the bottom of the rind for any seeds; remove them to the towel. Reshape the rind over the juicer and squeeze out any remaining juice and as much pulp as possible. Examine the pulp and remove any seeds before adding the pulp to the juice container.
• Get the pitcher and water out and add the juice, water, and sweeten to taste if you are making lemonade or limeade. Stir and serve or return to the refrigerator.

Excellent Zulay Metal 2-In-1 Lemon Lime Squeezer - Hand Juicer Lemon Squeezer
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2023
Excellent smartly designed and nicely built product. It does not take too much storage space. I was looking for a long time for this kind of juice squeezer to use directly above my salad to get fresh lemon or lime juice for immediate use. This is the one. It is heavy enough to squeeze out all the juice but also easy to use for person with small hand size. It is very easy to clean.
