Low-cost Citrus Juicer
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.
Nice product & good value
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.
Best of Breed (not a lemon)
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.
