Zak Designs 5.5in Citrus Reamer, Made with Durable Melamine Material, Handle Designed for Comfort, Perfect for Fruit/Lemon Juicing Kitchen Chores/Tasks (Kiwi, BPA-Free) (0204-9035)

Works great doesn’t take up a lot of room

Perfect handheld size and fits small limes to a 'T'. I don't want to dig out a full-sized lemon juicer and then wash it, or the larger handheld lemon squeezers and wash it, just to get the juice out of one small lime - and this little thing is heavy, hard and the perfect size for the job, and extremely easy to clean. Love it! Works on small lemons great too. I do dig out my little container juicer for larger lemons, so I don't get the seeds or pulp with those.

This is the real deal for getting the juice out of a lemon or a lime. The bright color makes it easy to find in an overcrowded drawer (and it seems like our kitchen drawers are always overcrowded). The melamine construction means that, unlike wood reamers of similar designs I have owned, it is immune to growing mold. The small size makes it easy to pack or store. The shape allows you to get all the juice out, with the caveat that the seeds come out as well so you probably shouldn't put the juice straight into your dish or drink. The only problem I've had is that I keep losing mine when my daughters come to visit and manage to persuade me to give mine to them.

I have a lemon tree. I don't use the lemons as soon as they are ready and usually ends up with a lemon with a think rind - too thick to use the yellow juice squeezer or the old fashioned juicer with the juicer part in the middle of a dish. Got this reamer to see if it would juice the thick rinded lemons better. It really works. Quick, gets all the juice out. I juice into a strainer set in a bowl, dump the seeds out of the strainer and use the juice. I get about twice as much juice from each lemon as I got from the squeeze juicer. This item is not very expensive and appears plenty rugged for its job. A good deal!

I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5, and that may not be fair because I am obviously the person who decided to choose this one, LOL.I could see in the description it has no rounded end. Not the sellers fault. The picture was very good. Just me not thinking.The only reason I'm rating this a 4 is because of: Its tip is POINTED. My daughter has one of the other million brands available, and hers is conical (rounded at the end). Therefore she can really dig into lemons without pushing the damn reamer through the peel and out other side.This one has to be used on its side and that makes it a pain.I'm literally going to file the tip off (file it rounded like all other lemon reamers are).. and they should be.

I've used the cone-in-bowl type, the one where you fit it over a measuring cup, and the squeeze type, and this is the easiest, most effective way to get all the juice out of a piece of citrus. It's the closest to how we did it in culinary school (with a fork) without the risk of stabbing yourself in the palm. If you want to filter seeds, buy a small mesh strainer and strain over it. This guy is heavier than he looks too. Good heft. Comfortable handle. Simple to wash. And I adore the color.

Just to clarify: the reamer measures 5.7” x 1.5”. I was surprised with how hefty and solid this feels, I was expecting cheap hollow plastic but it’s weightier than the wooden reamer I used to have. I think the heft will help w/ getting more juice out. If I had a critique it’s that I don’t like the feel of the tiny embossed product info just under the base of the handle - but I get it - needs to be on there and I love the color and the molded letters are a nicer presentation than printing would have been. Anyway, love the simplicity of the design; makes it easy to use and maintain. Feels like it’ll last forever without degrading the way wooden ones do. Very glad I got this.

I don't know why I waited so long to get this. I previously had an old-style glass citrus juice but never replaced it when it broke. Since then, I've been making do by sticking a fork in my citrus and twisting, while simultaneously squeezing. It worked by was never great and I didn't much like having to straighten out the fork tines after each use. The first time I used this juicer, I was amazed at how much juice I was able to get! Simple design but sturdy, it's comfortable to handle, easy to use, and does a great job at getting all of the juice out with very little effort.
