Zulay Kitchen Metal 2-in-1 Lemon Squeezer - Sturdy Max...

Most Helpful Review

"Overall I'm fairly impressed but I do have a few gripes with the product. Firstly the size - it is too small (the actual juicing portion, not the entire device). I did an average sized orange and the edges of the fruit were coming out, and thus not getting squeezed. The juice yield was still quite impressive though, I got around 5 or 6 swallows out of one incompletely juiced average sized orange. I could have squished the remains for more yield but I wanted to simulate what my yield would be if I were juicing oranges in bulk for family breakfast where I'm not going to waste time doing that. The juicing portion of the device really should have been an inch, maybe even 1.5 inches bigger in diameter, and I'm just talking for oranges. I thought maybe I'd do grapefruits in this thing, not too sure now, maybe if I quarter them. If you're buying oranges to juice make sure they're not extra large. Secondly the space between the base legs really could have been a bit wider - not much of an issue but you're definitely going to be pouring into a bigger separate container if you're making orange juice for several people. Third - the supplied Allen wrenches are FAR too short to be of any use with this thing. That is a real issue if you need to raise the juicing portion (like I did) in order to fit an average drinking glass underneath. I had to use one of my own wrenches. That Allen bolt requires serious tightening to hold the juicing portion on the shaft, so obviously it takes quite a bit to loosen it as well. HOWEVER, it turned out I had to lower it right back to the stock height because after raising it just around a half inch I discovered that the handle would no longer go all the way down and was sticking out quite a bit, which created a storage issue for me. That probably wouldn't be a problem for some people but it's definitely something to be aware of. Lastly, the Allen bolts on the top hinges are INCREDIBLY difficult to tighten and I'm stuck (for now) with a bit of slop in those (I didn't have two identical proper length Allen wrenches so I was stuck using the way too short supplied one for one side). Didn't seem to affect the useability of the device at all but for a hundred bucks this annoys me, plus I figure that slop can't be great for long term durability (although this thing IS mostly built like a tank so maybe my longer term concern is unfounded...). Anyway though, other than these minor gripes I'm pretty impressed with this device and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to have any regrets over buying it."
