HIC Kitchen Citrus Juicer Reamer With Handle And Pour Spout Heavyweight Glass For Fresh Juice Cooking And Cocktails

I needed to replace a plastic juicer I had. This glass juice is very functional. The glass is a great weight, very sturdy. I would purchase this again. It is easy to clean. Read more

I have tried so many different kinds of citrus juicers. None of them work as well as this. When I say "work" i mean how easy they are to use and how much actual juice I get out of the fruit. I should have gotten this from the beginning. My mother had one and I grew up using one of these. I should have known this one would be the best. Also, the quality of this item seems good. Very heavy so it won't slip around. You won't be disappointed. Read more

I had been using a two-piece juicer from a local box store. Plastic on top with a cheap glass container screwed on underneath. It never sealed properly and the plastic would get gummed up too easily with pulp and seeds. So, we tossed that and started looking for something super basic that would be easy to use and clean. Enter this item and bingo. This doesn't hold much juice: between 4-6oz. depending on the stability of your hands and the size of the citrus you are juicing. I juice lemons and limes about 2-3 times a week for all sorts of drinks (from cocktails to homemade sodas). I store the juice in a separate container, so I don't need the juicer to hold very much juice. I just juice 2-3 limes or 1 (large) lemon and pour it into my other container. That doesn't bug me, but if you're looking for a one-piece juicer (juice and then pour into a glass for drinking) this will probably not be the juicer for you. The solid, single-piece glass construction has nice weight and is easy to stabilize on a bar towel, etc. The teeth are designed/spaced nicely and it handles slightly under-ripe limes better than our old plastic juicer ever did. This juicer doesn't leave much juice behind. The only disadvantage to this design is that you have to strain pulp and seeds with a separate tool (tea strainer, etc.) - not a huge deal for drinks that are later going through a strainer anyway, but it creates an extra step for soda and baking. Pros: - Single piece is easy to clean - Solid construction has nice weight and feels sturdy (I'd still advise against the dishwasher) - Design doesn't leave a lot of juice behind (for lemons and limes) - Cost is spot on for how often we use it and how long it appears it will last Cons: - No built-in strainer for pulp and seeds - Low volume means pouring out the juice between fruits - Small size of the unit as a whole kind of limits this to smaller citrus. I had less success juicing a medium-sized orange, but it still worked. I wanted a citrus juicer primarily for juicing lemons and limes. This was just what I was looking for: simple, easy to use and clean. If you're looking to juice oranges and grapefruits, you might want to search a little further for a larger unit (one just like this but 50% larger would be great). If you don't mind pouring between fruits and using a separate strainer, this is a winner. NB: made in Taiwan. Read more

Heavy quality - I like it Read more

This is an adorable and small juicer. It works well with lemons and limes but is a bit too small for juicing an orange, grapefruits are way too big to juice on this. I saw the complaints about no seed catch - but if you catch the seeds you also catch the pulp. I would rather scoop out a few seeds than lose the pulp so that was not a problem. The spout is adequate for pouring into a cup - again no complaints with that. It wipes clean and I've had no problems washing it by hand or in the dishwasher - you just need to position it so it drains, otherwise you will have a bunch of water accumulating. I gave it a 4 star because it is so small and was advertised for use with oranges and grapefruits - which it is NOT. Read more

I love this thing! I don't have much to compare it too but it absolutely beats trying to hand squeeze, blend or coax juice from the fruit. It works, it's not plastic and its somewhat compact. Extra points for it not causing a mess when used. Probably a good mid-range for the type of product so price is sweet! Read more

Works perfect. Exactly as expected. Thick heavy duty glass. Super easy to clean. Old school is sometimes the better way to go. Read more

since purchasing this i have used it a few times. it is a well made product just a little smaller then expected my only complaint is that i wish it could hold more juice before i have to pour it out. also more often then not the juice will run down my hand when i try to pour it out. otherwise it gets the job done.
