This is easy to use, and gets all the juice, but is messy. It gets on my hands, and i have to be careful to get the juice into the glass or bowl. Read more

Looks exactly as pictured, And works even better than expected! I have lemon water every day. And usually use sliced lemons. But having this gadget allows my to get all the juice, and most all of the pulp, which I love! I’m thinking it would make a great gift for the Christmas grab bags! And not too dear in price. Very useful! Read more

Efficient, durable, easy to use (if you've got strong hands), and very thorough. Gets all the juice and most of the pulp out - where you want it, and not still attached to the rind. Much prefer this to the dainty little squeezers and tiny collector bottles. Doesn't filter out the seeds, but a clean finger will do that job anyway. I go through a five pound bag of lemons every month, just mixing the juice with club sodas and making buttermilk for tastier pancakes and waffles. Easy to clean - just be sure to mark it with a ballpoint pen, "Hand Wash Only." Read more

Very convenient to use while preparing food. I like to juice lemons with this but can also be used for limes, oranges and grapefruits- this is big enough. Good wood and sharp tip, will enjoy years of use. Read more

For some reason I've become addicted to adding lemon juice and the zest to most everything I'm eating these days, from soups, salads to some desserts. I was looking for a nice wooden reamer and decided on the OXO brand and have not been sorry. OXO is the hands down winner of many of the product tests on America's Test Kitchen and for good reason. They manufacture a good product at a reasonable price. Wooden reamers can have a heft price tag if you're looking in some of the specialty shops. At William Sonoma a comparable reamer costs a third more. This unit is made of solid Beech wood, the grip is comfortable and the cutting ribs are sharp and effective. Get every drop of juice but be sure to strain through your fingers to catch the pips. I'm very happy with this product. Read more
