FreshForce Lime Juicer,9-inches

Excellent product. Does quite the number on limes. I have an old juice-king that I used before buying this product, and it never produced nearly the amount of juice from a lime that this one does. It's extremely easy to use and very easy to clean. However, this product most definitely is designed for limes and other small citrus fruit. If you want to juice oranges, look elsewhere, but for limes and lemons, this works extremely well.

A must have if you have arthritis or weak hands and cannot squeeze a lime. You get the most juice too.

The very best lime squeezer you will find. Of course it works for lemons too. All other juicers that are this style end of breaking but this one will last. We throw ours in the dishwasher and it is doing great

I compared performance of "Chef'n FreshForce Lime Juicer, 12-inches" [CH] and "KitchenAid Citrus Juice Press Squeezer for Lemons and Limes with Seed Catcher and Pour Spout, Lemon, 8 inches" [KA]. Maximum dimensions (L, W, H, bowl inner diameter, in centimeters): CH 24 7 6.7 6.4 KA 22 9 5.4 7.3 Neither juicer can be taken apart in any way. Mechanical gain: CH's gear mechanism gives it slightly more than a 2:1 mechanical gain, however the location of the center of the cup further from the main hinge reduces its mechanical gain by 0.8 relative to KA, for an overall mechanical gain of 1.6. The CH configuration also allows the presser to come down in a more parallel fashion, giving a more uniform squeeze across the lime, though I can't say I noticed any benefit from this. I applied a bit of food-grade silicone grease to CH's gears, which made it smoother to open and close, though it likely makes little difference when actually squeezing a lime. Squeezing of juice: I cut a large lime in two halves vertically, so that the two halves were identical. Fitting the half into CH required pushing in the two ends a bit, easily done. Both juicers squeezed out 13 to 14 grams, making them equal in juice extraction. CH may have squeezed out a tiny bit more. KA's press has 12 grooves, like in a reamer for a hand-juicer where the fruit half is rotated around the reamer. This actually reduces the juice extraction slightly. If you rotate the rind by 1/24th of a turn after pressing it, you can press it again to get a few more drops of juice. Handling: Both juicers require a considerable amount of force to get the two handles to meet with a half-lime in the press. KA offers the advantage that it can be placed on a counter, and you can use your full weight applied on the wide upper handle. This is beause KA has a built-in bowl to catch all the juice. CH has to be held over a cup, so you have to rely on your grip strength for the squeeze, with a narrower handle that is only 80% as wide as KA's handle. While squeezing, KA's plastic frame distorts noticeably, while CH's plastic frame remains perfectly rigid. Overall: If you prefer to place the juicer on a counter and put your weight on it, KA is your choice. CH works just as well, but requires a lot of grip strength. CH also has a more solid frame, which doesn't bend under pressure.

Best lime juicer there is. Works on smaller lemons but for full size lemons get their lemon squeezer too. Easy to use, easy to clean. Can’t go wrong with this.

I started making gimlets last summer, and started juicing a lot of limes. I used a juicing attachment on an old Hamilton Beach kitchen mixer. That requires a good bit of clean up, and I thought it would be nice to have a quick, simple and easy to clean alternative. This lime juicer seems to do the trick. You have to insert a half lime opposite to what seems intuitive - so that it ends up basically inside out when you're done. I found that there is some leaking of juice, and some sprinkle where you don't necessarily want it as you squeeze. But it does a nice job of juicing. But as the skin curls inside out, the edges seem to be a limiting factor in getting all the juice out. It folds back on itself at the rim of the skin. I tried cutting a slit in the edge, but it didn't really solve the problem. The part that makes me nervous is that I have strong hands, and the gear part that applies pressure from the handle to the cup is made of plastic. It feels sturdy. So far, it's been fine. But I am very conscious of not applying as much pressure as I probably could - simply because I'm afraid it will break. So far, it hasn't, but I don't want to push it to the limit, possibly break it, and have to toss it. So, I'm always reluctant to REALLY squeeze it. Clean-up is definitely faster than using the juicer attachment on the electric mixer. Run under the tap, a bit of detergent on a sponge, and it's clean. But I don't think the limes are juiced quite as fully using this, compared with the Hamilton Beach electric juicer attachment. There are trade-offs in everything. So, I think this item does a good job. But if I'm doing a LOT of limes, the clean-up for the return on the electric mixer still wins out.

I couldn't find a squeezer for key limes but this works great. Don't cut the key limes in half, just make a smiley face on them with a knife, put them in the juicer and squeeze them into the glass. Works great and wrings far more juice out of the key limes then other methods I have tried. .

great juicer and easy to get. NO going to stores to look for this brand which works much better than other brands of juicers. Great size for limes. Highly recommend. It is a good price. And easy to get!

lange habe ich gebraucht, um mich für eine Zitronenpresse dieser Art zu entscheiden und habe mir auch sehr viele Bewertungen durchgelesen. Hier mein Fazit: Presse liegt gut in der Hand, welches ein leichtes Pressen der Zitrone oder Limette ermöglicht. Material ist guter Kunststoff der nicht billig wirkt. Verarbeitung schön & gut. Leicht zu reinigen. Habe es noch nicht gebraucht, würde aber bestimmt auch für den Geschirrspüler passen. Ich presse die Frucht direkt in einen Krug od. Glas und kann keine Querspritzer feststellen. Auch presst das Gerät ziemlich alles aus der Zitrone. Eine ältere Frucht wird mehr ausgequetscht, als eine frische. Ich komme sehr gut damit zurecht und kann die weniger guten Bewertungen nicht wirklich nachvollziehen. Auch kommt bei mir kaum merklich Saft über den Schale der Zitrone/Limette. Endlich habe ich frischen Saft ohne viel Aufwand. Amazon-Versand wie immer sehr schnell, zuverlässig und diesmal Versandkostenfrei. Eindeutige Kaufempfehlung von mir.

Very well made and sturdy. Easy to use. Highly recommended.

This is the king of hand squeezers. I use it for lemons every morning. It is sturdy, well made and works perfectly. Easy to clean too. Zero complaints. You are making a good decision buying this.

Excelente versión de exprimidor que aunque la mayor parte es de plástico ha cumplido con su función y se ve muy resistente, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Not cheap, but works perfectly!! I used to spend at least an hour trying to squeeze limes using my bare hands. And I’ll say this much, the cramps that come with it are no fun at all. But not only does this product get the job done, but it’s also easy to use, easy to clean and quality made. You can tell just by the weight alone that it’s not made of cheap flimsy plastic. I also bought the lemon juicer so that my kids can join in. Lots of fun and a huge time saver. I highly Recommend this product.
