KitchenAidCitrus Juice Press Squeezer for Lemons and Limes with Seed Catcher and Pour Spout, Lemon, 8 Inch

This is the best type of lemon squeezer I’ve used! You can squeeze one or two lemons easily without needing a separate glass. It has a second layer that collects and conserves the juice, making it super convenient and mess-free.

This is a very solid juicer. The ability to use the counter as leverage (because it sits flat) is a REAL BENEFIT for one like me who doesn't have the strength to squeeze with both hands. The pulp / seed catcher works great - no pulp gets thru if you are needing just juice, but if you want the pulp,,it is easily accessible from the catcher (I like to make ice cubes with a little pulp for refreshing addition to a glass of fresh lemonade). A bit pricey, but worth it for me.

I will never buy one of those cheap metal lemon/ lime squeezers in my life! This makes making fresh lemonade for my husband a breeze!

Simplicity at its best well made easy to use as an 81 yr older man i hand difficulty in juicing my limes and smaller oranges this product is extremely functional kitchen aid makes great products the price is very fair and it will last quite long also i was not paid for this critique Mike R

Very sturdy juicer

I already own both a manual lemon squeezer and a manual lime squeezer, but when this KitchenAid item went on sale I wanted to give it a try and see how it compared. Mostly I was interested in the "hopper", as they call it (the collection bowl with the pour spout). I like the KitchenAid model, but I'm also disappointed with it at the same time.PROS:+ The juice collects in the hopper, eliminating the need for an intermediate vessel to catch the juice.+ The middle section (the strainer) has several concentric "ledges" on it to add support to the rind when squeezing.+ Those same ledges also accommodate varying diameters of fruit; you can squeeze anything from limes to (small) oranges.+ The "lay flat" design allows the user to apply much more force to the fruit when squeezing.+ The handle opens 180 degrees (vs 90), which is more user-friendly and also makes for easier cleanup.CONS:- The bottom & middle sections are made of a composite material (i.e. not all-metal construction).- Although the holes in the strainer seem tiny, they still somehow allow a lot of pulp to pass through. That's fine if you're making lemonade, but for anything else you might want to use a secondary mesh strainer when pouring.- Additionally, the pulp/seeds that _are_ trapped by the strainer block the holes, preventing some (a little bit) of the juice from passing through.- Juice can seep out the side of the press when squeezing. Doesn't seem to be an issue when pouring, however.- No instructions are included. A first-timer might not realize that you're supposed to put the fruit in cut side down.- No hanging ring.- The KitchenAid press is big & awkward (big widthwise). On the one hand, the wider bowl accommodates larger fruit, but you still have to store the gadget in a drawer/cabinet somewhere.Overall this is a good press, and the "lay flat" design--which seems to be unique to this model--has turned out to be one of its best advantages, allowing the user to really get his/her weight into it instead of relying solely on hand strength alone (an exceptional feature for arthritic people also). I think you're paying a lot more for the KitchenAid name, but there _are_ some innovations in this squeezer that you won't find in the budget models. If you can get it during a decent sale, I say go for it.*****UPDATE (12/27/2024): One of the 'cons' listed above is that the tool is not all-metal construction. Having used the tool much more now, and doing a lot of thinking about it, I've come to the conclusion that maybe--just maybe--the reason the lower half is made of composite material is to save your countertops; i.e. to prevent marring your good countertops while you bear down with all your body weight when squeezing. I think I'm going to give Kitchenaid the benefit of the doubt on this one, and concede that the composite bottom might be a feature when taking advantage of the lay flat design. I'm not 100% convinced of it, but it seems like a reasonable justification that I hadn't considered previously.*****Bonus: I mentioned there are no instructions included, so here they are in a nutshell.1. Lay the press on a countertop and open the top metal section only.2. On a separate cutting board, cut your fruit in half crosswise.3. Place the fruit CUT SIDE DOWN on the middle section of the press (the strainer).4. Slowly close the top portion of the press onto the fruit. As you close the top, the large metal protrusion pushes the rind through the flesh, basically trying to turn the fruit inside out.5. Pour out the juice.5a. TIP: I think the strainer limits the hopper's capacity (the strainer sits inside the hopper) and some juice gets trapped in the strainer on the first pour. So lay the press flat on the counter again (or just level it while you're holding it), give it a gentle squeeze and pour again.6. Open the top section and remove the expended rind from the strainer. Also remove any seeds/pulp remaining in the strainer.

It squeezes lemons and limes like it should. Seems sturdy. I like the convenient spout for pouring the juice out.

Absolutely the best! Great grip and easy to squeeze the juice out of lemons. It helps me because I have Arthritis and with this product I don’t have to put too much effort to squeeze all the juice out of lemons. Strong yet light enough. I am very satisfied.
