8.7" Lemon Squeezer Combo, Manual Citrus Juicer for Limes & Lemons

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.

I make a homemade juice with lemons and limes every week and this squeezer makes it sooo much easier to squeeze! It’s very easy to clean as well, durable as my kids have dropped it. I had a plastic one before this and this one is much more sturdy and easy to use. Well worth the extra few bucks for a nicer squeezer!

Prompt delivery. Great product but does need to be replaced periodically due to rust from citric acid.

I really like that this lemon squeezer is made of stainless steel, as I’ve been trying to move away from plastic products in my kitchen. It feels sturdy, works well, and is easy to clean. My only complaint is that it takes a bit more hand strength to squeeze, so it may be harder to use for someone with arthritic hands or a weaker grip. That said, I still really like the product and would recommend it!

It squeezes lemons and limes with very little effort, and I get much more juice than when I do it by hand. The metal construction feels sturdy, and the included zester is a nice bonus that I’ve used more than I expected.

Perfect and pretty. Nice weight and works well

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.

Very good quality

This is not the citrus juicer that is pictured. When you apply for a return you need to pay for the return to China. What you receive is a flimsy pressed steel juicer that does not even open smoothly. The juicer has sharp edges and there is no way you will be able to fit a decently sized lemon in there.

Liten citruspress, undermålig kvalité (är nog inte rostfri)

So far I only used it 2 times, but it’s been great. Durable, and easy to use for this type of lemon squeezer. A little heavy, but I am ok since it is stainless steel.

This replaced a cheaper aluminium version that flaked its coating and turned black from the juice. This is easier to use and well finished. Just don’t take it in your handbag - it is very heavy! The zester was a bonus.
