Product Information

New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . You absolutely must have one hand pressing down on the main shaft while you use the other hand to operate the lever, otherwise the whole thing will come crashing down. A reamer is usually smaller, and is used by pushing the device into the halved citrus, twisting it, and extracting the juice. Also, as the built-in strainers are usually small, if you’re juicing a large amount of citrus, be prepared to stop every so often to clean out the strainer before you can continue juicing. If you plan to use your reamer just for lemon juice and lime juice, this is a fantastic option, though it can handle smaller oranges in a pinch.

This compact 2-in-1 tool from KitchenCraft Healthy Eating makes preparing citrus fruit quick and convenient. Due to its extra sharp edges, the Joie Lemon and Lime Juicer and Reamer scored highest in bitterness. There was also a silicone spring that added just the right amount of leverage to take some stress away from the wrists. After procuring juice from all 11 citrus juicers in addition to the control group, we had a panel of four taste testers rank each juice on a scale of 1 to 10 for bitterness, floral or fragrant quality, and overall taste.

While all but one of the models we tested are dishwasher-safe, if you can, it’s best to hand-wash the hinged squeezers since pulp can sometimes get caught in the nooks and crannies of the hinges. It ranked higher than others for flavor and fragrance due to its ability to extract oils from the lemon's skin.

Two different reamers have built-in strainers, so you can easily switch between juicing small citrus like lemons and limes or large citrus like oranges and grapefruits. The large size is for fruits such as oranges and grapefruit and the smaller one tackles lemons and limes. While we appreciate dishwasher-safe parts, citrus juicers are easy tools to clean—especially because citrus juice is often used as a cleaning agent—and we didn’t deduct points for hand-wash-only parts.

While this juicer was effective, the Chef’n Citrus Juicester was just more comfortable to use and slightly more efficient at extraction. This beechwood citrus reamer is a traditional tool for juicing oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits. While the oil extraction is lovely for lemons and limes, we found it affected orange juice's flavor too much. This squeezer may look like all the other citrus squeezers on the market but it has a handful of features that squeezed our former top pick, the Chef’n FreshForce, out of the number one spot.

Lemons and limes are pretty damn similar, and the additional lime plate/flap seems totally unnecessary. When we reviewed this juicer in 2019, it was all stainless steel and it’s since been updated with silicone-coated handles. It had deep, long ridges and sharper edges leading to a very sharp tip that extracted more of the pith from inside the citrus.To operate the Joseph Joseph Helix Juicer, you thread two detachable handles together and then twist them toward each other instead of pressing them. Perhaps the best thing about the KitchenAid citrus squeezer is that you don’t even have to squeeze it in your hand. It seemed that all of the pulp and seeds got pressed back into the rind, which made cleanup super easy.
