[giggler]

I have a bunch of Lemons to Juice..

Does this tool work?

Yes. Takes a lot of hard squeezing.

I have one of those. It works pretty well. It's not so hard that most people will have trouble, but there are enough comments that it's too hard, that I have to assume it's a problem for people with little hand strength. It does not deal well with anything too large to fit into the bowl, like an orange. Tends to shoot juice out the sides.

This also works well, but you have to chase the seeds:

I reach for the olive wood juicer when I just need the juice of one lemon.

 

[Andy M.]

I have the olive wood juicer I use for a single fruit.
I also have one similar to this for larger quantities of juice.

Nifty. Mine is very old. It's porcelain and doesn't have the strainer and catcher bowl.

It was a cheap and low-tech solution but it works great! I use it for lemons and limes and it wrings all the juice out of them.

Yeah I think it works week. Still takes some pressure but since its got a lever it is much easier then by hand

 

[jusnikki]

I have one. It's not that it's hard at all...your hand just gets tired of pressing the handles together...After about four lemons your hand really gets a workout.

 

[Siegal]

I have that tool and use it all the time when I have a few lemons to squeeze but they can't be giant lemons or they don't fit. Otherwise works great. But if I am squeezing like a lot of lemons or limes I whip out electric reamer thingey for oranges and use it for lemons. Its hard to clean so I don't use the electric one unless I have to.

I have all of those. None of them work as good as this:

$22.00 at Amazon.com

The press works. I prefer the juicer that Andy posted.

I'd use the juicer for lemons and oranges. I'd use the press for limes.

I love mine. You put the lemon halves in upside down and backwards, contrary to what it looks like you should do.

I learned that too. The holes are on the "wrong" side. You have to place the half lemon or lime in the anti-intuitive position and then it works really better..

Clever marketing. Yellow one for lemons, green for limes and an orange one for (you gessed it) oranges. Each one is a different size. I have an old green depression glass one that your grandmother used. But I also have the one pictured with the bowl below the reamer. It catches the seeds and lets the juice through to the bowl. And if I am in a hurry, I just use a fork and my tongs for squeezing.

I have, always had, strong hands but can't use the hand-squeeze juicers anymore because arthritis has claimed both my hands. Instead I use this juicer. It squeezes the bejeepers out of lemons, oranges, whatever...and I don't have to strain to use it.

It's so cute! Looks like ET!

Where did you find it, Katie?

I bought it at a local warehouse close-out store and only paid $3.99 for it. Best few bucks I've ever spent. I would imagine if you did a search for "manual juicer" on Amazon, something like it would show up.

I remember them from my childhood. Was going to buy one, then I saw the tong trick. So I do that most of the time.

I had one of those. I bought it as a replica at an "antique" store. They were all the rage here in Montreal in the early 90's. My ex got it.

Looked at Amazon. The least expensive one was $45.00. The most expensive one was $5,000.00. That is not a misprint. It is for restaurant use. You load up the oranges in a tube and it just whizzes them free of their juice.
