Chef'n Citrus Orange Squeezer and Juicer, 15-inches

Excellent quality and performance. The dual-gear design makes a noticeable difference as you get more juice with less effort compared to standard squeezers. The build feels solid and durable, not flimsy like cheaper options. It’s also very easy to use and clean, and does a good job keeping seeds out. For the price, this is a great value and seems to be built to last.

Chef'n Store: Chef'n FreshForce Lemon Squeezer, Manual Hand Press, Dual-Gear Power, Yellow This product is a citrus squeezer that is designed to squeeze the juice from lemons and smaller citrus fruits. It is made from a heavy-duty injection molded design using high quality reinforced polymer material (nylon) and a stainless-steel bowl-shaped lever that presses on the citrus fruit to encourage juice release. This kitchen tool is described as dishwasher safe (top rack). The design of the squeezer uses a heavy-duty geared mechanism to force the stainless-steel bowl-shaped lever down onto the skin-side of the citrus fruit this forcing the liberated juice through the slots in the bottom of the bowl-shaped section of the tool. I chose the model that incorporated 10.25-inch-long handles and is yellow in color for my kitchen. While I have not yet used the product for actual lemon squeezery as I currently have no lemons, I do believe that it will work perfectly for my needs. I am looking forward to fresh squeezed lemonade instead of that nasty pretend lemon-flavored stuff that comes as a powder in a slender tube that you mix with water. This is going to be great. Much thanks to Amazon Prime Days!

The Chef’n FreshForce Citrus Juicer (Lemon) is easily the best lemon juicer I’ve used. It works extremely well and gets a surprising amount of juice with very little effort. The pressing mechanism really makes a difference, especially compared to basic handheld juicers. You don’t have to squeeze hard, and it feels efficient and controlled. While this is the larger size, it works great for lemons and also handles limes without any issue. Build quality feels solid, and it’s comfortable to use. Simple, effective, and well designed. If you use fresh citrus regularly, this is a great kitchen tool and well worth it.

My husband and I have gone through SO MANY lime juicers in the 12 years we have lived in our house. I say lime juice because that's what I'm always always juicing. But obviously this works for a range of citrus. And did it work. First, it's a super sturdy contraption. It's made of plastic and metal, and it's HEFTY. Like you could brain someone with this thing during a home invasion and they'd go down like a sack of bricks. The design is genius: the standard plastic bowl with slits at the bottom for juice to escape but it traps seeds, but the top has a hefty metal compressor that obliterates the fruit. I get a lot more juice out of my limes with this thing. And when you're making a pitcher of proper margaritas, you're squeezing a lot of limes. This thing is wonderful. And I found it because I looked at America's Test Kitchen's recommended product after our zillionth lime juicer just broke for no reason. Worth every penny.

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

The difference between this and a standard squeezer is night and day! It may look similar, but it's a totally different machine. 1. It's BIGGER; and therefore deals easily with large lemons, big limes, even small oranges. Still, it fits easily in a drawer. 2. The hard plastic it's made of is lighter in weight and has a slight texture that makes it easier to grip and not slip. 3. Almost NO PRESSURE is required to squeeze the gadget which makes it much easier on your hands. 4. It cleans up easily and quickly. I'm very happy with this little invention and considering the low cost, I think it will make a great gift for all the foodies, scratch cooks, and cocktail makers on your holiday or birthday list. Excuse me now...I'm off to make some margaritas!

Great for lemons and limes. Oranges have to be cut into quarters to fit properly. Strong construction. The ratchet works well. Highly recommended.

Great improvement over standard squeezers. Large profile, so not good if space is limited. But, makes squeezing citrus a breeze.

I was shocked by some of the reviews on this item, specially once it was delivered (in time from Germany) and I could press lots of lemons and limes with it, getting lots of juice from them. First, drinking fresh juice of this amazing fruits is so extremely healthy, you should not miss it. But then, some reviewers said: It's a bad item, because I cannot use it for large oranges. Pardon me, it is NOT an orange juicer - as the very name of this item says - but it is a lime and lemon juicer. So be happy if smaller oranges work, but please don't complain when larger oranges don't. Because it is a LIME and LEMON juicer. Got it? I find it very unfair against the supplier to post a bad review because an item does not do what it is not supposed to do... 2., some say you can break it. Well, sure, you can break anything. But how were you able to break this? Did you try so hard until it broke just so you could write a bad review? When you use it with even very slight common sense - not much, really needed - then you will NOT break this item, because it is very well build. Third - one review was specially hmmmh... strange, giving one star because the juice smells bitter. Well, if you buy a juicer that gets you up to 20% more juice and then you complain that some of that 20% is just a bit bitter and give it one star then, well, you do not like lemons or limes. Apparently for you everything needs to be sweet. So, on the whole, take this item if you like to get lots of vitamins and you want to get juice out of these fruits without efforts and clean it effortlessly and get the last drop out of them. Don't ever buy one of the electric ones and don't buy another one at all. Because I am a lemon/lime lover since being a little child and.. this is the BEST juicer in the world. Thanks Chef'n fot his well engineered product. Pros: - Well build - Does the job (lemons and limes squeezing) extremely well - Fast and effortless to use - Squeezes better than any other manual or electric squeezer I owned before - Makes me healthier - as another reviewer mentionned, he is buying lemons and limes now just because it is so nice to squeeze them, same thing happened to me. My consumption has doubled ;) Cons: none. seriously.

I enjoyed using it, highly recommend

Great Quality

I recommend this to everybody. It's simply a genius product. With this product you will be spending seconds pressing citrus instead of minutes. Due to the design with a gear that gives it some extra levered power it take minimal effort to squeze the juice out of any citrus. Even kids can use it. Cleans easily, just a rinse and back into cupboard. Love it!

I can recommend this lemon squeeze to anyone. It's sturdy and very practical. The only thing that's missing is maybe a sort of an eye-hook at the end of one of the handles to hang the item.
