I got mine just today, and after juicing a lime for my beer and seeing how well this thing worked and how easy it was, I'm more convinced that OXO has it's corporate act together. This thing is a breeze to use, and easy to clean once you discover the little "notch" that aligns the reamer (which flips over to change sizes).I've plenty of seedless limes @ 6/$1.00, but think next time the veggie man visits my apartment complex, I'll load-up on oranges and lemons too. This device opens a whole new convenient and efficient citrus-juicing, easy-clean-up world for me. Thank you for one more functional and well-designed kitchen gadget OXO.
I bought this citrus juicer to juice lemons in the morning for a pitcher of lemon water to drink throughout the day. It works just fine for me and is a heck of a lot easier to clean than my big juicer.
The two sided part is handy and I do agree that the holes that strain the juice are generous, but I rarely get a seed in the cup and if they were smaller I think they'd clog with pulp. No complaints here - this juicer does a great job with lemons, limes and oranges. Larger grapefruits may be a bit of a challenge, but I haven't actually tried one either. The grippy bottom is nice so it doesn't scoot all over the counter while you're using it. Finally, it's solid enough that I'd have to really work to break it - a real plus in my kitchen.
The raised edges allow you to extract a lot of juice, and it feels ergonomically correct. It's quite easy to put the 3 parts together. I wash it in the top rack of the dishwasher with no ill effects. This is a big step-up from our old, no-name juicer of a similar design.
I squint and squint, but even with reading glasses and good light, I'm pretty much forced to have to pour the juice out into another measuring cup to see if I've squeezed the amount the recipe calls for. And yes, as someone else mentioned, an occasional seed falls through. Other than that, I find this a breeze to use, it's easy on the wrist and all in all makes a very useful addition to my kitchen gadgetry. And I like that it comes in three pieces.makes cleaning so easy.
