10/10 Best juicer! Reliable and sturdy!
I’m a big citrus juicer (almost use one everyday) and I was so tired of all the ones I had before because they’d all either break or the paint would start chipping. This has been my favorite thus far! Especially because it’s mostly made of non painted metal but it’s also structurally sound! I’ve had it for about 8 months and no issues whatsoever. I couldn’t be happier!

Bellemain Stainless Steel Lemon Squeezer Performing Well So Far -- with 2017 Updates
I owned a standard yellow-enamel cast (aluminum?) squeezer that worked fine until one day it didn't--it broke catastrophically. (You've all seen them--smaller green squeezers for limes, medium-sized yellow ones for lemons, and large orange ones for oranges.) I am male, 6'5", and 200 lb.; have a (relatively) strong grip I guess; and try to get all (or most of) the juice out, so I imagine the pressure was too much and the handle snapped. (Luckily I was not hurt.)I bought two of these Bellemain stainless steel squeezers from Perella's with the hope that they won't break. So far (after approximately one month; used every other day) they are holding up well even under my hand pressure.Yes, there could be some additional holes provided (can the S/S be drilled?), and the red silicone grips on the handles shift around too easily (hence only 4 out of 5 stars), but overall these are working satisfactorily so far. They seem strong and well made. Contrary to one (misdirected?) comment, water does _not_ collect or remain in the handles after washing on this model as the handles are not open to the outside. Looking at them, the weak point will probably be at the hinge area, but so far they are holding up. Delivery was quick and free, I believe, as I bought two.My opinion so far is that it is worth spending more for these stainless steel lemon squeezers in comparison to the (less expensive) cast metal ones commonly seen in supermarkets and elsewhere.04/08/2017 Update: I have been meaning to provide an update. Here it is finally:So far (over two years) these have been GREAT. They stand up to repeated use (about once every two weeks) and dishwasher washing. Yes, they can collect rinse water in the outside (top) of the squeezer when they are in the dishwasher oriented with the non-drilled concave part facing upward; but so what? So would any cup, bowl, or glass with its open-end facing upward. Easy to deal with or avoid (e.g., orient side-ways in the dishwasher).One trick I learned, when you first get them (I have two), pull off the red silicone hand grips and toss them away. They are unnecessary (and constantly move around). The handles are smooth and comfortable enough without the grips. So Five Stars now for quality and durability.I hope that the current items are (a) still available and (b) made in the same, quality way. (I haven't needed new ones and maybe never will; we'll see.)12/08/17 Update -- Still going strong; still GREAT. Toss the red grips and these are PERFECT.

The Best lemon and the last one you will ever need
I was hesitant as to which one to order, this one or the Jumbo Lemon Squeezer by Mediterranean ways, because didn't want to have difficulty squeezing big lemons and I want something that will be comfortable in doing so, since my joints started to show it's tear and wear from aging.For some reason, and in the last minute I decided to order this instead and take my chances. I was concerned how comfortable the handle may or may not be, specially when the lower one is not grooved to accommodate the fingers.Although I received this late afternoon yesterday, out f the box, I was really impressed by the quality of the product, it is extremely well made (Solid, non- hollow handles, so sturdier, does the work for you and no grooves to collect mess), the grip was extremely comfortable, the size was very adequate not just for the biggest lemon you likely will ever buy, but likely for a small orange as well, so naturally I couldn't resist the temptation, but to wash it, and make a salad so I can find an excuse to try it out. Oh, my lord, with very very easy squeeze (both hands, since lemon was very large), I had so much juice flooding out of the pores, like I never did before or ever will be squeezing this lemon by hand. my joints did't hurt, the lemon didn't became slippery and fall and didn't even have to worry about the seeds falling into my food because they were trapped with the skin.. it is one of the best things I ever bought in a while, I would definitely and highly recommend it. I will likely get another one before they stop making or change them...Couple of points... will try to update and load photos later1- The hand welding that previous customers commented on. Mine came completely welded along the width of the handle and looked very sturdy (although it would have probably better if they could have made it as one cast with no welding at all)2- The pin that connect the 2 plates together, is not hollow like the one shown in the photos, which I was concerned about, because I saw it as a weak point that will be easy to break and you end up with 2 separate useless plates, but obviously it either happened already or someone had the same concern, so they fixed it, now it is a solid, non- hollow (although no way for me to swear, but at least that is how it looks sideways, unlike the old ones), although I have been with Amazon for many years and bought a lot over the years, I don'y write a lot of review, but this one I felt very enthusiastic that I have to do and immediately.. I am so happy that I didn't but the cheap crappy ones at Walmart

Good, sturdy juicer!
Good juicer - well built and sturdy. This doesn't look like it will fall apart after juicing a few citrus fruits! The one drawback is that it doesn't drain well while juicing. The holes on the bottom get blocked by the skin of the citrus fruit. So it sprays a bit to the sides and then you have to tilt it to the side to get the juice out. It does extract the vast majority of the juice, though!
