Chef'n Freshforce Citrus Juicer (Lemon), 10.25 long

Easy to use, clean and maintain. I love that I can make plenty of fresh lime or lemon juice for drinks or food recipies.Gets the most out of your lemons or limes.

Very sturdy and like the design helps get all the juice from what you are squeezing. Well made and right tool for the job. Broke overpriced one from total wine.

works great! Easy to use, easy to clean, works wonderfully! I love it!

fantastic kitchen tool. Its sturdy construction and ergonomic design make juicing lemons effortless. The dual-gear mechanism provides excellent leverage, ensuring maximum juice extraction with minimal effort. Cleanup is quick and easy, thanks to its simple design. This juicer is a must-have for anyone who enjoys fresh citrus juice regularly.

We bought this juicer to replace the ubiquitous all metal powder coated juicers (lemon and lime) we had for years. The old juicers were beginning to lose their powder coating and the pot metal was exposed to the juice. This is a problem because most pot metal contains lead which can leach into acidic solutions like citrus juice. This device has a more complex construction and attempts to use compound leverage and a gear/rack to do a better job at juicing. It somewhat succeeds at this in that I find it very easy to use and it requires little force on the handles to extract the juice. The parts that come in contact with your juice are either nylon plastic or chromed metal (probably pot metal). I don't put mine in the dishwasher every time, but instead hand wash it and carefully clean the acidic oils and liquids off the chrome part so it will last longer. Yes, as many have pointed out, you do have to sometimes use both hands to start a squeeze. And yes, do be careful with exerting too much force on the handles - I can easily see this being a point of failure. One thing I should note about juicing: squeezing the living daylights out of a lime or lemon is NOT the best way to go. When you squeeze citrus too hard, the extremely bitter oils in the skin are extracted in greater quantity resulting in very harsh tasting juice. If you are just doing some stupid cleanse BS and don't care about subtleties of taste and flavor, then by all means pankcake the crap out of your citrus. If however, you want just juice that is bright and appropriately limey or lemony, then squeeze carefully and stop before the skin begins to give up all that oil. Which bring us back to this Chef'n juicer. Because the handles do flex a bit it lets you avoid over squeezing. When the "piston" reaches the end of its travel and the handles start to flex then STOP - you are done and your juice is perfect. Did it get every last molecule of juice out of that poor half lime? No, but it did extract the best tasting juice and that is what most normal people want.So what do we have here? We have a juicer that has succeeded for the most part in making juicing more effective and easier. It extracts very tasty juice when used properly. The shortcomings are actually a result of Chef'ns attempt to improve the process. The mechanism has plastic parts that can, will and do fail. They had to use plastic to keep the product affordable. Does the juicer fail if you use it carefully? I don't know, but I'll get back to you on that. Do I recommend this juicer? Yes I do, but be aware what you are buying.Update 02/26/21 : Still using this juicer at least once a week. No issues that alter performance. There is a little bit of gunk collected around a hinge pin but it is not in contact with the juice and is strictly cosmetic. We do not put it in the dishwasher as I feel that would shorten it's' life. This is a very good juicer for lemons and limes and if you treat it nice it will last a long time

I've been using this almost daily for nearly two months. It's without question the best lemon squeezer I've used. It works more easily and more thoroughly than the others. (My wife feels the same.) It works almost as well with limes, too, though they tend to be a little on the smallish side for this device. For lemons, though, for my money I don't think this one can be beaten.

This is performing exactly as I had hoped and seems to be holding up well in spite of daily use in my kitchen. I would buy again. I like the yellow color and it looks the same online as it does when you take it out of the box.

This is a company that stands behind their products. The product is sturdy and does an excellent job. It extracts virtually every drop of juice. The first unit I received had a river fall out. It was beyond Amazon's 30-day return window. I contacted the company and had a response within an hour. They said they would send me another unit, and I received it within a week. I was not required to return the defective item. All I had to do was send them a photograph showing where the rivet had fallen out. They were so easy to work with. They care about their customers and their reputation. Any manufactured product can have a defect but when the company stands behind their product, you can buy with confidence. I would highly recommend this juicer. And I highly recommend this company. Bravo!
