Finally a Lemon Squeezer That Doesn’t Break
We originally bought a cheap lemon squeezer from Safeway, and the handle literally broke while squeezing, so I decided to upgrade — and I’m so glad I did. This Monkkino lemon squeezer feels solid and well-made, and you can tell right away it’s built to last.The stainless steel construction is a huge plus for me. I love that there’s no plastic touching my food and no worries about toxins or weird smells. It’s sturdy, easy to clean, and squeezes every last drop of juice without straining my hands.It works perfectly for lemons and limes, and the included stainless steel zester is a great bonus. The grip is comfortable, the hinge feels strong, and nothing flexes or bends when you really press down.If you’ve gone through flimsy squeezers like we did, this one is absolutely worth it. I wish I had skipped the cheap option and bought this from the start.

Stainless steel for the win
I love the citrus squeezer, it has a strong squeeze, and I love that it’s made out of stainless steel. Before I had one that was made out of a different material. Maybe a coated metal? This one is great. Stainless steel holds up. I’ve washed it by hand but also in the dishwasher. It’s not the biggest so sometimes I have to cut a large lemon into smaller 1/4 pieces but it really gets all the juice out

Strong, Heavy-Duty, and Built to Last
I’m really impressed with this metal lime squeezer. It has a good weight to it, which makes it feel sturdy and high-quality in hand. The metal construction is solid, and it doesn’t feel flimsy at all like some of the plastic or lightweight versions out there.It squeezes limes easily with minimal effort, and the handles are comfortable to grip. I’ve used it several times now, and it shows no signs of bending or wearing out. Feels like it’ll last for years without any issues. Definitely a great buy if you’re looking for a reliable kitchen tool that won’t break anytime soon.

Good juicer
I got this because I snapped the last one I had while squeezing limes. (It was metal, so I don't know how that happened.) I figured the steel looking one would be more sturdy. It feels sturdy and does the job, but it wiggles or wobbles. Like the build of it isn't tight or secure. Im not sure if it's just the one I got or if they're all like that. Its easy to use, the juice come out as expected, and it's easy to clean. Im just not sure of its sturdiness.

I replace this often but that’s okay.
Prompt delivery. Great product but does need to be replaced periodically due to rust from citric acid.

Simple, Sturdy, and Effective
True to my experience, it is incredibly easy to use. The handheld design gives you good leverage, allowing you to extract juice from lemons and limes without straining your hands. It feels solid and gets the job done quickly without any complicated setup. For anyone looking to add fresh citrus juice to their cooking or drinks without the fuss of electric juicers, this manual press is a fantastic, no-nonsense solution.

Lies in advertisement, inferior quality to what it would claim to be
When I received the product it was clear it was manufactured by die cast methods (melting point of zinc is like 400C, while 304 stainless is 1400C, big difference!) and as such I was very skeptical that this product could be made of stainless steel for its price. Furthermore, the luster of the metal was a bit darker than what I was used to seeing with stainless steel (and more consistent with a zinc part) The sellers are knowingly deceptive and intentionally claim it is made of 304 stainless which is austenitic and thus not typically magnetic. This of course "checks out" if you try to use a magnet to see if the squeezer is magnetic - of course, zinc isn't magnetic either...To determine that your lemon squeezer is made of zinc, it's not very hard; you mainly require an accurate scale. Take a scale and weigh it. My squeezer was about 345.6 grams (I got 5.95 g/cm^3). Find a container and fill it with water, labeling the point you filled it to. Dunk it in water making sure the entire squeezer is submerged, and find the new marking point. You have now found the volume of the squeezer (Archimedes' principle). I measured mine to be about 58 grams. Now, divide the two and find the volume. I got Note that the density of cast zinc is probably closer to 6 grams/cubic centimeter, while the density of 304 stainless is 7.93 grams/cubic centimeter. This is over a 30 percent difference, so unless the volumetric measurement was WAY off, this part was made of zinc.So why should one care, besides about being lied to, that the squeezer is made of zinc? First off, zinc is a fraction of the strength of stainless steel. There's a reason we don't build that many structural elements out of zinc. Second of all, if the product truly were 304 stainless as claimed, it would be incredibly corrosion resistant. Zinc, on the other hand, is not nearly as corrosion resistant as 304. Finally, the hinge of this product is likely made of actual 316 stainless steel (it's lightly magnetic), and will probably be the site of galvanic corrosion. Over time, the dissimilar metals will rust at the hinge, and I assess this to be a likely product failure point as it receives the most stress.I do not appreciate being lied to and cannot recommend this product for these reasons.
