Citrus Juice Press Squeezer for Lemons and Limes with Seed Catcher and Pour Spout, Lemon, 8 Inch

I love this KitchenAid Citrus Juice Press. It makes squeezing lemons and limes so much faster and easier than doing it by hand, just a quick press and the juice is ready to go.The seed catcher is such a helpful feature since I never have to worry about seeds ending up in my recipes or drinks. The pour spout also makes it really convenient to pour the juice straight into whatever I'm cooking or mixing without any mess or extra dishes to clean.At 8 inches, it's a great size, sturdy enough to handle the pressing without feeling flimsy, but still compact enough to store easily in a drawer. This has become a go-to tool anytime a recipe calls for fresh lemon or lime juice. Highly recommend if you want an easy, mess-free way to juice citrus.

I bought this squeezer to replace an all plastic model. What an improvement! This kitchen tool is well made, the two sections fix together so juice from lemons and limes flows easily leaving the seeds behind.!

This is great. It is one of the best kitchen gadgets I've ever bought. It juices well and easily and the juice collects in the bottom part. You can do a few squeezes and then pour our as much juice as you need through the spout. It also sits flat on the counter if you need to put it down with juice in it. Highly recommend.

Yes, it is and it tastes delicious with just a little effort and no time at all.This is a great squeezer. Ingenious design with flat bottom allows you to leave on your counter when squeezing instead of gripping with both hands. The juice collects in a small bowl beneath the strainer bowl and is very easy to pour into a second container for use. This is great for our home bar and cocktail hour.We have used it regularly for a few months and it seems very durable, even with the plastic body. The bowl fits 1/2 limes and most lemons, small oranges cut in 1/2 and larger oranges or lemons in 1/4s. The strainer bowl collects seeds but not 100% of pulp so I use a mesh strainer when pouring into another container.Cleaning is easy and can be done in dishwasher.If you are interested in the great taste of fresh squeezed citrus at a really fast pace with no worries about mess, I highly recommend this squeezer.

This gadget is well built, easy to use, and easy to clean. So glad I bought it. Worth every penny. #KitchenAid

I already own both a manual lemon squeezer and a manual lime squeezer, but when this KitchenAid item went on sale I wanted to give it a try and see how it compared. Mostly I was interested in the "hopper", as they call it (the collection bowl with the pour spout). I like the KitchenAid model, but I'm also disappointed with it at the same time.PROS:+ The juice collects in the hopper, eliminating the need for an intermediate vessel to catch the juice.+ The middle section (the strainer) has several concentric "ledges" on it to add support to the rind when squeezing.+ Those same ledges also accommodate varying diameters of fruit; you can squeeze anything from limes to (small) oranges.+ The "lay flat" design allows the user to apply much more force to the fruit when squeezing.+ The handle opens 180 degrees (vs 90), which is more user-friendly and also makes for easier cleanup.CONS:- The bottom & middle sections are made of a composite material (i.e. not all-metal construction).- Although the holes in the strainer seem tiny, they still somehow allow a lot of pulp to pass through. That's fine if you're making lemonade, but for anything else you might want to use a secondary mesh strainer when pouring.- Additionally, the pulp/seeds that _are_ trapped by the strainer block the holes, preventing some (a little bit) of the juice from passing through.- Juice can seep out the side of the press when squeezing. Doesn't seem to be an issue when pouring, however.- No instructions are included. A first-timer might not realize that you're supposed to put the fruit in cut side down.- No hanging ring.- The KitchenAid press is big & awkward (big widthwise). On the one hand, the wider bowl accommodates larger fruit, but you still have to store the gadget in a drawer/cabinet somewhere.Overall this is a good press, and the "lay flat" design--which seems to be unique to this model--has turned out to be one of its best advantages, allowing the user to really get his/her weight into it instead of relying solely on hand strength alone (an exceptional feature for arthritic people also). I think you're paying a lot more for the KitchenAid name, but there _are_ some innovations in this squeezer that you won't find in the budget models. If you can get it during a decent sale, I say go for it.*****UPDATE (12/27/2024): One of the 'cons' listed above is that the tool is not all-metal construction. Having used the tool much more now, and doing a lot of thinking about it, I've come to the conclusion that maybe--just maybe--the reason the lower half is made of composite material is to save your countertops; i.e. to prevent marring your good countertops while you bear down with all your body weight when squeezing. I think I'm going to give Kitchenaid the benefit of the doubt on this one, and concede that the composite bottom might be a feature when taking advantage of the lay flat design. I'm not 100% convinced of it, but it seems like a reasonable justification that I hadn't considered previously.*****Bonus: I mentioned there are no instructions included, so here they are in a nutshell.1. Lay the press on a countertop and open the top metal section only.2. On a separate cutting board, cut your fruit in half crosswise.3. Place the fruit CUT SIDE DOWN on the middle section of the press (the strainer).4. Slowly close the top portion of the press onto the fruit. As you close the top, the large metal protrusion pushes the rind through the flesh, basically trying to turn the fruit inside out.5. Pour out the juice.5a. TIP: I think the strainer limits the hopper's capacity (the strainer sits inside the hopper) and some juice gets trapped in the strainer on the first pour. So lay the press flat on the counter again (or just level it while you're holding it), give it a gentle squeeze and pour again.6. Open the top section and remove the expended rind from the strainer. Also remove any seeds/pulp remaining in the strainer.

This juice press is different in that it has a cup to hold the juice, a strainer to hold the seeds and can take really large lemons - like the huge ones in Italy along the Amalfi Coast - and you place it on the counter and press down as opposed to holding it in your hand over a bowl. This is a different methodology to other lemon presses, but I like this idea a lot because, other lemon presses often cause lemon juice to squirt out the sides and then if you tip them to let residual juice out, the seeds can get mixed into whatever you are cooking. This press is also helpful in not requiring me to squeeze with one hand to get maximum juice. Once I get used to it, I am sure I will find it superior to old fashioned juice presses!

The BEST ever lemon/lime squeezer! Wish I had known about this sooner! So easy to use and to clean

It's quite large.Yet to use, but feels good quality

Buen exprimidor!

Diese KitchenAid Zitruspresse sieht sehr robust und stabil aus, ich hoffe, dass sie mir lange erhalten bleibt. Nette Überraschung, die Lieferung kam zwei Wochen früher als geplant.

Muy grande, excelente para limon amarillo y de buena calidad.
