Can you get all of lemon's juice out of the lemon using this? I have a squeezer from other brand and it almost cannot get half of the juice.

I've gone through 3 or 4 squeezers, and this has been by far the best and strongest one.

No, I cannot get all the juice out of a lemon using this; however, I do like the ease of use and the juice I do get....to get all the juice out of a lemon you would need to use a lemon press.

I do get almost all juice with this hand juicer. This is very sturdy and easy to clean. Much better than my previous pieces. I cut lemon into 2 pieces, and put the flat (cut) side down and press the lever. Sometimes, if I want to make the process even easier, I split skin of the lemon along the edges.I am very happy with this piece. You will be also.

It might work better for key limes since lemons are too big and could cause squeezer to break

If you let pulp dry on the squeezer, you can remove it with just water and elbow grease, but also using a scrubbing pad will be faster. If it scratches, so what? That will not degrade its functionality. And if you purchase one of the pretty enameled squeezers, the enamel will eventually start flaking off into your juice. Print I have had two, from different sources, and both fell apart that way.)

I use it with Grapefruit and Pomegranate only as I cannot have Orange Juice and have no need for Lemon juice... I guess it can be used with Oranges and Lemons as well. The main difference is the size (circumference) of the squeezing cylinder. It is fairly large to handle bigger fruits...Hope this helps.

I tend to agree with the other users, I think it may just need to be cleaned out in the middle of juicing if you are doing that many apples. I also always make mine right before I drink it so I only make enough for myself. If you are doing heavy duty juicing, your best bet might be a higher end juicer that can handle the load

not at all ! I was amazed how it extracted the juice at no effort at all. No waste and the juice tasted really good. Very different from my old juicer. The only con I have is that the cover keeps falling off the juicer because I always put it up on the shelf. It will be ideal if you just leave it on the counter. Hope your arm feels better.

Sunny: Here is my thinking on the top squeezer. It will make pressing down easier, but is not as efficient as the hand in juice extraction. The top can only press downward and does not accommodate all sizes of oranges and grapefruits. The hand will squeeze and ocilate, making it more efficient in extracting all the juice. If you get the top, please let me know if you find my thinking to bre true.Thanks,Ian

I did not try to squeeze limes, but I can tell you that I have a big one for oranges, and squeezing a lemon in the big orange one does not work. So the same probably applies to squeezing a lime in the lemon one. They do sell a metal lime squeezer.

Not really because there is a strainer that cannot be removed which filters most of the pulp out. However, if you like the pulp, you could just dump it back into your juice from the strainer since the strainer will hold most of it.

Good to know. Thank you. My concern was pulling down too hard, and possibly pulling the fruit basket down & breaking whatever container you where draining the juice into. Thanks again.

Doris, I also have a lemon tree. I bought this juicer, used a couple of times and never again. The lever gets stuck; it is not good for larger oranges and lemons : wastes a lot of juice. Lacking in stability, sometimes you need the other hand to keep it standing. The lever is too short, but if it were longer the stability would be even less. Not recommended.

Hmmm. Lemon squeezers are structured differently so the when you squeeze, mostly the juice gets squeezed out. A super tiny baby lemon may fit but you may get the bitter rind juiced too. Not sure I would recommend it for lemons. Use it for crushing other things whole - like to make baby food or such. Hope this helps!

Squeezing lemons is exactly how I use it the most. I have two Meyer Lemon trees and I make lemonade all the time. Meyer lemons are larger than most lemons and this squeezer is perfect for the job. Once in a while I get a lemon that's smaller than the rest and it still works just fine.

I just peel the outside of the ginger root to get out the "meat" of the ginger. A knife should do the trick! It doesn't have to be perfect though. The juicer is pretty hearty.

These are two separate units by the manufacturer, though similar. You may be able to contact the manufacturer, as listed in the Amazon spec, to see if it is possible to buy the top squeezer and attach it to the one you have without the top. But I belive you will have to buy the one with the top.

Yes, but not too well. You can't squeeze enough juice before you start to squeeze the bitter insides.

This isn't going to work as a juicer because it is a blender and thus does not remove the pulp. If you wanted, I guess you could run the blended mixture through a strainer to remove pulp, but I prefer having the extra fiber in my smoothies because it's good for you!
