Zulay Premium Quality Metal Lemon Squeezer, Citrus Juicer, Manual Press for Extracting the Most Juice Possible - Light Blue

Although Zulay calls this a "lemon" squeezer, it obviously can be used on other fruits... so long as the item you're squeezing fits in the tool. I use it primarily on limes. I don't know what the normal expectancy for limes is, but I get between 3/4 oz to 1 oz of juice from a typical (i.e. not very large) lime I buy at the grocery store. [Update 3/31/24] I love this squeezer, but I wish I had known about  this 2-in-1 model  before I bought this one. No biggie, though.The tool is heavy duty. I was impressed when I opened the box and found a heavy, clanky metallic press. I mean, yeah, the product description says "all metal", but there are cheap metals and then there are quality metals. This is the latter.The weak point in this tool, of course, is the pivot pin. It "looks" like it is well-constructed with quality material. Time will tell; but thus far the tool has performed flawlessly, requires little effort, and really smashes the fruit good!Unfortunately, the juice does sometimes splatter when you first begin pressing, so you need to be aware of that and try to contain it as it bursts outward under pressure; but it doesn't happen all the time and it's usually only a very small amount. It'll get the better of you if you're not prepared for it, though.My only complaint about the tool is that it only opens 90 degrees instead of 180. It's nothing I can't live with--just a minor inconvenience at worst--but a little annoying nonetheless.Cleanup is easy for the most part, but there are one or two problem areas. It would be easier if the tool opened 180 degrees or, preferably, the two halves could be disassembled.For those people (like me) who may not know how this thing works or how to use it properly before making your purchase, let me just say it's real simple, but counterintuitive at first. You cut your piece of fruit in half (crosswise), then place the CUT side face down into the bowl (that's the counterintuitive part). Then as you squeeze the two handles together, the upper part basically turns the fruit inside-out, pushing the rind through the flesh and smashing it into the bowl. I love ingenious, simple-to-use tools!So... while I'm sure this is meant to be a kitchen tool, I actually bought it for the liquor cabinet. No more buying a big bottle of lime juice or lemon juice and then having it go bad sitting on the refrigerator shelf indefinitely. Whenever I need lemon or lime juice in a cocktail now, it's fresh fruit and a Zulay lemon squeezer for me! The drinks taste better that way anyway.[Update 3/31/2024] Again, I love this squeezer, but for BAR use making cocktails, I wish I would have known about the  KitchenAid squeezer  first. Why? Because it has a pour spout on it, and the juice can be squeezed (poured) directly into a jigger. As it stands now, with the Zulay squeezer I have to squeeze into an intermediate vessel first, then measure into the jigger. Of course, that's only when I'm being OCD about precision... for the most part I just figure 1/2 lime = 1/2 oz and squeeze directly into a cocktail shaker. If Zulay ever comes out with a reasonably priced 2-in-1 lemon/lime presser with a pour spout, I'll be one of the first to jump on it.

The design is sleek and ergonomic, making it comfortable to hold and use. The sturdy construction ensures that it will last for a long time, even with regular use. The bright yellow color adds a vibrant touch to my kitchen decor, which is an added bonus!

Great, simple product that appears to be very well made. I've had it for several months now and have used it about a dozen times. It gets so much more juice out of the lemons/limes/oranges vs. a traditional hand squeeze and it captures all of the seeds. Excellent product and very glad I bought it.

This is a sturdy, efficient hand juicer. Little effort is required to squeeze the juice out. Love the bright color and it's easy to clean. The holes do allow the smaller seeds to pass through. I purchased it thinking I could also use it to juice limes. Not so. The lime is just smaller enough that that when the handle is squeezed tight as can go, it still doesn't squeeze the lime entirely. There is still a lot of juice left when I took it out and manually squeezed it. I think I will send this back and get something that does all size citrus.

Feels sturdy and works exactly how it should. Easy to clean as well.

Never knew I needed this! I have always squeezed lemons/ limes by hand. Arthritis kicking in and I make dressings, desserts that use a lot of limes or lemons and this is so easy to use, easy to clean, no seeds... Its what every kitchen needs but you don't think you do! You do!

easy to see in the drawer, easy to use, fits in hand nicely, works great!

This does a great job and is much easier than trying to hand squeeze!Appears vey sturdy!

When I tried it, I found that this lemon squeezer is easy to use. It is not heavy in the hand, the half lemon takes its place well in the inside part. Easy to squeeze, and it squeezes the lemon...down to the last drop. Very easily cleaned. I highly recommend it. Quality, price and fast delivery.
