What Others Say
Simple and sturdy
No complaints here - Oxo Good Grips Citrus Juicer does a great job with lemons, limes and oranges. Larger grapefruits may be a bit of a challenge, but I haven't actually tried one either. The two sided part is handy and I do agree that the holes that strain the juice are generous, but I rarely get a seed in the cup and if they were smaller I think they'd clog with pulp. The grippy bottom is nice so it doesn't scoot all over the counter while you're using it. Finally, it's solid enough that I'd have to really work to break it - a real plus in my kitchen!
The perfect juicer!
The raised edges allow you to extract a lot of juice, and it feels ergonomically correct. It's quite easy to put the 3 parts together. I wash it in the top rack of the dishwasher with no ill effects. This is a big step-up from our old, no-name juicer of a similar design.
If only I could read the volume markings...
I squint and squint, but even with reading glasses and good light, I'm pretty much forced to have to pour the juice out into another measuring cup to see if I've squeezed the amount the recipe calls for. And yes, as someone else mentioned, an occasional seed falls through. Other than that, I find this a breeze to use, it's easy on the wrist and all in all makes a very useful addition to my kitchen gadgetry. And I like that it comes in three pieces...makes cleaning so easy.
Lemon squeezer OXO
It is an in adequate design. Easy to clean in the dishwasher is the only positive about it.
It takes assembling three sections to use. I would live with one size borer and have it fixed in place instead of fiddling with the reversible bore, and lining up and inserting the little tab in place. The shape is awkward.
The holes below the borer are too big, so you have the seeds falling into the juice which is another step for getting them out.
I like the old fashioned ones with a flat cup and a lid and tiny holes so the juice is filtered.
I would not buy it again, and I am still looking for the easy and practical old style lemon squeezer. If I find it, this one is getting thrown out.
Excellent product
I'm surprised no one else has thought of making an open reamer design like this (or have they?). It offers much less resistance than any other manual juicers I've used. The reamer "blades", for being made of plastic, are surprisingly sturdy. And I'm a big fan of the sleek, modern design.
