solid build
The hinge area which is the most prone to break in these type of products seem sturdy enough to stand up to continual use. The juicer works well if you follow the fool proof directions and don't try to use it for fruits it wasn't meant to be used for.

excellent product!
I have had great luck with this juicer -- easily broke two plastic ones previously and I was discouraged. This item is very sturdy and has not shown any signs of bending or breaking despite my best squeezing efforts. Highly recommended...

Citrus Lover
I first used a citrus press like this at one of those places where you prepare meals in advance and then take them home to freeze and serve later. I was impressed with it but thought it was available only to restaurants. I happened to see this online and ordered it on the spot. I love it and use it nearly every day. I use a lot of lemon and lime juice and this baby will get every drop out of the fruit with little fuss or mess. I have arthritis in my hands so I was worried that the squeezing motion might be too hard for me, but I have no trouble at all. The tool is hefty and stainless steel so it doesn't react with the acidic citrus like an aluminum one might. I just throw it in the dishwasher after using it. To use the tool, you slice the fruit in half between stem ends and place the half with the cut edge up in the lower perforated bowl. The perforations allow the citrus juice to drip out but the seeds stay in the bowl. The top portion then squeezes down on the cut edge with it's inverted bowl. That inverted bowl has a lip that laps over the lower bowl so you don't get squirted when you press the tool arms together. After the pressing, I tilt it sideways to allow any juice trapped under the lip to drain out.I find myself using it several times every day. I do a lot of cooking and love this tool.
