I know what kind of abuse do the subject their tools to? I’ve had mine for at least 15 years and never had a problem. But of course I don’t throw it around, I rinse it thoroughly after use, and make sure it’s dry before I put it away.
Keep it. You've got a fully metal juicer. Their new recommendation is junk. The gears on the recommended version are plastic. There are tons of 1 star reviews because this juicer doesn't last.
@@pjschmid2251 man clearly i'm an idiot because i bought one that looked similar to it (on sale for 6 bucks). worked really well the first few times i used it squeezed on a particularly stubborn lemon. the thing broke in half
I have an OXO double-sided citrus juicer (#4 in the lineup). I've had it for ages and have used it on lemons, limes, and various sized oranges, 'though not 200 in one go. I've never had any difficulty getting the juice out of the citrus halves. The reamer has two sides, one larger, one smaller, easy to switch. The juice is strained, so the seeds stay in the top, not in your juice (If you love pulp, it's easy to retrieve it from the reamer and add back to the juice). The container has measuring lines, so if you're just juicing a bit, you know when you have enough. There's a pour spout, too. The bottom has grippers on it, so it doesn't slide. It comes apart into three simple to clean pieces, then reassembles easily. Thanks for the testing and your review. That's a lot of lemonade!
I have used this juicer for a long time.........I love it, and it always renders more juice from a lemon than the recipes call for.........when it says juice of one lemon.....using this juicer, you get more out of the lemon than is called for! Great product!
You guys do the best, and most informative reviews of kitchen appliances, and kitchen gadgets. I recently purchased the Vitamix 5200 blender because of your review. And I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Let's see, I've purchased the Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus Food Processor; the Breville BOV800XL Smart Oven; the Bona Vita Metropolitan Coffee Brewer; the Trizor XV Knife Sharpener; the Borner V3 Mandoline; and the All Clad D3 Cookware collection; all based on your reviews. Thank you! And now it's onto the best citrus juicer on the market; the Chef'n FreshForce Citrus Juicer.
I've been using the lime version (it is green) of the squeezer for 2 years bartending. The chrome finish has changed/disappeared. I don't know if the juice reacted to it or if it slowly leaked into the drinks. I still like the norpro, the orginal style you tossed away at the beginning. I never had any chipping, flaking, etc. The only reason I don't use it anymore is that it walked off. (thanks coworkers). Mileage will very.
I have this same manual citrus juicer (recommended by ATM at least a couple of years ago), I use it nearly every day, sometimes to get A LOT of juice (for pies, lemonade, etc.), sometimes for just a teaspoon or two or a couple Tablespoons at most, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! It is extremely well-made & sturdy, just as strong as the day I bought it, so I, too, DEFINITELY highly recommend it! You will NOT be sorry you purchased this one!!! Thank you ATM!!!
Don’t buy the cuisinart processor if you ever want to dice/cube things, none of their attachments for that fit on that one. Only Breville does that right.
I still have my Daisy electric juicer from our wedding gifts 33 yrs ago. It's still going strong. Love juiced grapefruit in the morning. Thanks for the video for hands held juicer.
I CANT FIND THE TYPE OF JUICE IM LOOKING FOR. MY HANDS AND WRISTS ARE NOT AS STRONG AS THEY USED TO BE. ALTHOUGH I SUPPOSE THEY ARE NOT REAL WEAK EITHER AS I PLAY THE PIANO OFTEN ENOUGH, BUT I JUST CANT SEEM TO FIND AN ORANGE SQUEEZER LIKE MY VERY OLD ONE WHICH NEEDS REPLACING NOW BECAUSE I BURNT A CHUNK OUT OF IT ON THE STOVE ONE DAY ACCIDENTALLY. I WONT GIVE IT UP THOUGH. ITS SHARP AND SQUEEZES ORANGES EASILY. I SHOULD SOMEHOW POST UP A PICTURE OF IT SOMEWHERE. BUT YOU CANT BUY THEM NO MORE. PERHAPS I SHOULD CONSIDER AN ELECTRIC ONE NOW.
Would like to see reviews of juicers that are good for arthritic or weak hands. Electric? Handles with larger/softer grips? Very useful. Some of us with arthritis are still quite young and love to cook but struggle with some things. Reviews of any gadget/appliance useful to those with handicapping conditions would be amazing.
@Amethyst Samia If you juice a lot of citrus, you might look into a stand press. They take up a bit of room, but their arms provide significant leverage for juicing and should be easier to grip/ use than these hand-held models.
This should work very well. www.amazon.com/ROVSUN-Commercial-Citrus-Squeezer-Pomegranate/dp/B01FLXTVBY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=manual+cup-style+citrus+press&qid=1555090873&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=gateway&sr=8-3
Love it. For 1 or 2 lemons, I use my green glass juicer that's probably from the 1930's, and cleans up great in the top rack of my dishwasher. My other go to for large batches of juice is the juicer attachment to my model 9 Sunbeam Mixmaster circa 1946. The reamer, bowl, and metal strainer also clean up well top rack dishwasher.
Try the lekue silicone citrus juicer. I have two. They direct juice, catch seeds, and can be used to store the cut lemon or lime. They are easy to clean, and take little room for storage. Sometimes the seeds block the hole, however a masterful design allows you to pour out just the juice from around the fruit. Yes they do require manual squeezing, but so does the winning model you show.
I have one like the first one. Except mine has a cap that will open and close which allows you to not use an entire lemon if you just need a few tablespoons of juice. It works fine. You roll the lemon first. then put the spout through one of the ends and squeeze. The best part is that it was free inside my bag of lemons.
I bought the Chef n' Fresh juicer in 2021, and the silver coating is starting to crack and peel. I also have problems with the size of a half lemon fitting in the bowl, and I frequently have to quarter the lemons using this model. I came here looking for something better.
I love my old fashioned wood reamer for juicing lemons, limes, oranges. It cost 1/10th the price of your recommended juicer and I’ve never had issues with it going everywhere like you said. Maybe you just need a bigger bowl? I don’t know. I’ve never once had that happen.
The best juicer I've ever used is one that I literally can't find online for the life of me. I got it as a "gift" from someone who was cleaning out their basement before they moved and they found this sealed juicer with an Amazing Savings sticker on it. It's all plastic, has a cup/pitcher, the juicer top, and a lid with little notches that grip the lemon rind and allow you to twist it really easily. It literally scrapes every bit of juice out of the thing. But it's annoying to clean. I'm curious if the Chef'n Freshforce is any better!
An ordinary reamer gets more juice out with less fuss and is cheaper. The problem for them is that you probably already have one. I am beginning to think they get some kind of kick back for selling stuff..
I'm looking for a little thing to put in my purse for use at the restaurant to get the juice out of the little lemon slice on my water glass. Nothing you tested was small enough for my needs.
I was hoping you would include the Joseph Joseph Helix juicer in your review; I’ve been using one with great success. I think it would compare well with the Chef’n Fresh Force that you folks liked.
If you need to juice more than 3 or 4 fruits, the orange/grapefruit ones can be a strain to close (because of how far apart the handles are at rest), but once you get to the comfort range for your hand span, it doesn't really take strength.
I have been a subscriber to you guys for 20 years. Digest that a little bit. I am committed! And I will be getting one of these citrus juicers the moment I have the cash to do so. I have made you a recipe for lemon bars, and as wonderful as they are, I have found one that is even better. It is over the top but man are they awesome! I forget the name of the author, but the title of the book is simply called flower. In the book, The Recipe is called lemon lust bars. It makes a 9 by 13 inch pan full of lemon bars, and you need 12 or 14 lemons to get 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice. The crust is a basic shortbread crust, but you make a lemon curd using a little butter and cream to enrich it, Pour it over the semi baked crust, then finish in the oven. They are the most incredible lemon bars I have ever had in my life.
It’s funny, I had one and tossed it out because I was using it wrong. A tip, juice the lemon cut side down, then flip it over and squeeze it again cut side up, even more lemon juice!
I AM AN OLD LADY, I DONT HAVE THE STRENGTH IN MY HANDS AND WRISTS I USED TO HAVE YEARS AGO. I BOUGHT SEVERAL ORANGE JUICE SQUEEZERS RECENTLY AND I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH ALL OF THEM INCLUDING ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT LAST ONE YOU SHOWED ON THE VIDEO, BUT MY ONE IS ORANGE IN COLOUR SO ITS NOT EXACTLY THE SAME BUT VERY SIMILAR AND I CANT USE IT. I DONT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY. THE OTHER ORANGE SQUEEZERS I BOUGHT ARE JUST THE NORMAL STANDARD ONES, ONE IS MADE OF GLASS ANOTHER IS MADE OF METAL AND THEY ARE NOT SHARP ENOUGH TO SQUEEZE THE ORANGES ON. PERHAPS I AM LACKING IN STRENGTH ALSO BUT I HAVE A VERY OLD ORANGE SQUEEZER HERE WHICH IS MADE OF HARD PLASTIC. I BOUGHT IT YEARS AGO AND THE WAY ITS MADE, IT SQUEEZES THE ORANGE EASY FOR ME, HOWEVER I ACCIDENTALLY BURNT A PIECE OUT OF IT ON THE STOVE ONE DAY SO A CHUNK IS MISSING OUT OF ITS SIDE, BUT I STILL USE IT BECAUSE ITS JUST MADE A SPECIAL WAY AND SHARP ENOUGH FOR ME TO SQUEEZE MY ORANGES. THERE IS NO OTHER ORANGE SQUEEZER LIKE IT BUT I CANT BUY THIS EXACT SAME GOOD ORANGE SQUEEZER NO MORE BECAUSE THEY DONT MAKE THEM NO MORE. I ONLY PAID ONE DOLLAR FOR IT A FAIR WHILE BACK. HAVING SAID ALL THAT, I MIGHT CONSIDER THE LAST ONE YOU SHOWED AS IT COULD BE BETTER THAN THE ORANGE COLOURED ONE I TALKED OUT. BUT THEY NEED TO MAKE SOMETHING FOR OLD PPL WHERE YOU DONT NEED A HUGE AMOUNT OF STRENGTH IN THE HANDS AND WRIST JUST TO SQUEEZE AN ORANGE. ONE SIMILAR TO MY VERY OLD ONE.
I wish the main body of the Chef N' Press juicer wasn't plastic. We have enough microplastics in our food supply without forcefully pressing citric acid across them before ingesting. Make it all stainless steel.
i have had them all and more that are not here. the one they picked as winner is the best but the ugly metal Mexican style one lasts almost forever? we have never broke a metal one. however, the fancy fresh force ones have a plastic hinge with a metal rod going through it. which, if you use it often, will eventually violently crack into nothing fixable or remotely usable. so sad. we had 2 of them and they both cracked. the all metal ones last forever. spit out a few more seeds though but if you use citrus like we do or you are a bartender who needs it for drinks, you will want to have metal one at least as a backup. :)
The juicer that was screwed into the side of the lemon was done wrong. You screw it into the stem end of the fruit and pop the stem out then screw the juicer into the fruit and juice away.
Well, it's handsome....but, I'm still using my grandmother's glass tabletop reamer. Gets all the juice. The downside is I have to pour the juice through a strainer when I'm finished.
Go watch Lisa then. There is nothing Ron Popiel-ish about this review. Just because two people talk about the products being reviewed doesn't make everything an infomercial. This is from the Anericans Test Kitchen show. Lisa doesn't do equipment reviews on the show. Adam does. And nobody is forcing you to watch.
@@ryeguy01 A reamer will shred the flesh of the fruit as you grind it against the edges of the reamer, which gets more juice out of it than just a single squeeze. The downside is a tabletop reamer generally takes more effort and time to extract all that juice.
@@gregfeneis609 Everything I've found shows squeezing gets the most. By a good amount. A lot of the squeeze juicers need the fruit turned and squeezed again a few times because the don't press straight down evenly. The winner looks like it might be a little better at that.
I got ripped off on that last geared one. 200 lemons, I don't think so. To good to be true. Sales gimmick. Fooled me I bought one. The trouble is when you have Meyer lemons which are 3 to 4" to big. Cut in half. Still the slots get plugged and it squirts out the sides. I think the TV are fishing for a better aqeezer ideas cuz I'm still looking for a better one myself instead of this geared thing. Needs a splatter shield.
Or you could do the old Italian grandmother method of cutting the lemon, putting the half in your mouth with the cut side out, lean over the bowl and bite down to squeeze 😂
That's been a "thing" Everywhere that's had oranges since almost as long as they've had oranges. Far from an "Italian" thing. Most things are figured out all over the world independently, not sure why so may places try to claim so much as "theirs". Like claiming pasta......
I'm shocked by how many people I hear about who put the fruit in the presses upside down. I can't understand it. Attention to details, people! There are holes or slots in the bottom of the bowl on one half; what do you think those are for -- ventilation? If you put the fruit in cut side up, the peel is just going to seal those holes when you operate the lever. Come on! It's not rocket science.
It looks like they only tested lemons. Citrus also includes oranges and grapefruit. If you make a review for a citrus juicer, it should be able to squeeze everything.
You think that if it can squeeze a lemon it can't squeeze anything else? Of course it works on the other citrus. You're obviously going to have to cut it smaller because most people don't use a manual squeezer for grapefruit, but there's literally no reason why it wouldn't work.
Protip: Washing citrusfruit is not enough to clean off nasty pesticides. if you don't use bio produce at least avoid the type of juicers that drains the juice over the skin (obviously not a fun subject but people should be aware this stuff is highly toxic)☝
Except that it doesn't get as much juice out of each fruit, which means you need to buy more fruit, which costs money and can add up quickly. Even just a couple extra limes a week can be $50 a year or more. Doesn't sound free to me.
Steve Logan that used to be my go-to method as well. However, life does hand out lemons...in my case, compromised spine resulting in diminished strength in my arms and hands. Less ability to grip makes these devices necessary for some of us.
@@April4YHWH ma'am, i fully understand, appx. 30 yrs. ago my right hand was almost completely severed, my strength and dexterity is very poor in that hand. I also have had 20, yes 20 scope surgeries on my lower back in the last 10 yrs., so i can fully understand. That is why i mentioned i meant no disrespect in my post. If you need a citrus juicer, by all means use it. I meant no disrespect to you or anyone else who may use one. I just seem to be able to juice with my left hand while holding the citrus fruit in my right. I apologize if it came across that way, forgive me?, poor wording on my part i reckon. They are very useful, my wife is petite and she uses one. I have so many gadgets for the kitchen that we are running out if room, lol, i'm sorry, God bless
@darttoyou1 ty for the info my friend. I always make sure to give the citrus fruit a good roll with my hand and some pressure on the counter to make it juicy and soften it up also. Have a good day friend, God bless.
So use a fork if that's what you like. But they're testing juicers, not forks. If you juice a lot of lemons and limes I guarantee that winning juicer works better than a fork.

Still love my glass,$1, garage sale oldie. Easy to clean and it has slots to keep the seeds from going into the juice.

The juicer that was screwed into the side of the lemon was done wrong. You screw it into the stem end of the fruit and pop the stem out then screw the juicer into the fruit and juice away.
Billy Garfield you also roll it around and squeeze it a bit to break up the membrane inside of the fruit before inserting it
@@whtelephant1 you are absolutely right.
Even in you do it right, they still don't work well
@@lareinadiondra6027 I disagree.
@@billygarfield5520 I would never use this style but it works surprisingly well when used properly.
Well, it's handsome....but, I'm still using my grandmother's glass tabletop reamer. Gets all the juice. The downside is I have to pour the juice through a strainer when I'm finished.
I like the info on the best juicer. Now, just have Lisa present it in her no-nonsense way instead of the Ron Popeil production, please.
Go watch Lisa then. There is nothing Ron Popiel-ish about this review. Just because two people talk about the products being reviewed doesn't make everything an infomercial. This is from the Anericans Test Kitchen show. Lisa doesn't do equipment reviews on the show. Adam does. And nobody is forcing you to watch.
Yeah but reamers still get out more juice than a squeezer.
I don't see how. The squeezer applies more pressure.
@@ryeguy01 A reamer will shred the flesh of the fruit as you grind it against the edges of the reamer, which gets more juice out of it than just a single squeeze. The downside is a tabletop reamer generally takes more effort and time to extract all that juice.

Everything I've found shows squeezing gets the most. By a good amount.
A lot of the squeeze juicers need the fruit turned and squeezed again a few times because the don't press straight down evenly. The winner looks like it might be a little better at that.
Table top reemers probably the best deal, they even said so. How come they didn't show an tell how they worked?
I got ripped off on that last geared one. 200 lemons, I don't think so. To good to be true. Sales gimmick. Fooled me I bought one.
The trouble is when you have Meyer lemons which are 3 to 4" to big. Cut in half. Still the slots get plugged and it squirts out the sides. I think the TV are fishing for a better aqeezer ideas cuz I'm still looking for a better one myself instead of this geared thing. Needs a splatter shield.
I bought that citrus juicer. Can confirm, it eats fruit for breakfast.
I cracked my lemon/lime juice and had to go through two to be happy. This video came too late after I purchased two.
Just use a fork or spoon and a strainer, so many kitchen tools, you really only need a certain number of high quality knives and multitaskers
just give me a relative comparison on each
Poor Adam...his voice when he says “lemonade” lol

Or you could do the old Italian grandmother method of cutting the lemon, putting the half in your mouth with the cut side out, lean over the bowl and bite down to squeeze 😂
THAT is just BIZARRE!!!
Daryl Grant Lindsay Old ladies with arthritis get crafty!😂
@@ajc5869 HAHAHA!!!! I'll say!!!! (I think that method would be hard on the teeth though, or dentures!)
That's been a "thing" Everywhere that's had oranges since almost as long as they've had oranges. Far from an "Italian" thing.
Most things are figured out all over the world independently, not sure why so may places try to claim so much as "theirs". Like claiming pasta......
I'm shocked by how many people I hear about who put the fruit in the presses upside down. I can't understand it. Attention to details, people! There are holes or slots in the bottom of the bowl on one half; what do you think those are for -- ventilation? If you put the fruit in cut side up, the peel is just going to seal those holes when you operate the lever. Come on! It's not rocket science.
I went to this video specifically to see how the juicers at 1:14 work and you never tried them. :(

Cuisinart is my choice
Title should be "How to impress a woman with your deep knowledge on citrus juicers"
It looks like they only tested lemons. Citrus also includes oranges and grapefruit. If you make a review for a citrus juicer, it should be able to squeeze everything.
You think that if it can squeeze a lemon it can't squeeze anything else? Of course it works on the other citrus. You're obviously going to have to cut it smaller because most people don't use a manual squeezer for grapefruit, but there's literally no reason why it wouldn't work.
You can get this one in a larger size for oranges and other large citrus.
@darttoyou1 Um, sorry. For those folks who have issues with their hands, this will not work. Same with reamers and most other similar tools.
He clearly said they juiced A LOT of lemons and limes. They make a larger one for oranges. And who juices grapefruits?
Protip: Washing citrusfruit is not enough to clean off nasty pesticides. if you don't use bio produce at least avoid the type of juicers that drains the juice over the skin (obviously not a fun subject but people should be aware this stuff is highly toxic)☝
You know there's a neat little invention called hands? Yeah, it's also free.
That and knowing the best way to cut citrus for had squeezing.
Except that it doesn't get as much juice out of each fruit, which means you need to buy more fruit, which costs money and can add up quickly. Even just a couple extra limes a week can be $50 a year or more.
Doesn't sound free to me.
That voice crack tho
is she protecting her neck from the squirts of citrus?
citrus juicer looking kinda sus
I hate enamel in my lEHmonade
Joseph Joseph helix juicer is so much better
Poor demo. Really only showed 2 units in action.
Please, please, please STOP the popped collar thing!
Just use your cooking tongs.
I get so distracted by the collar. It's annoying.
Voice cracked
The second one looks like a butt plus. Hmmm...
With all due respect, my hands and a sturdy fork seem to get the most juice out of any citrus fruit.
Steve Logan that used to be my go-to method as well. However, life does hand out lemons...in my case, compromised spine resulting in diminished strength in my arms and hands. Less ability to grip makes these devices necessary for some of us.
@@April4YHWH ma'am, i fully understand, appx. 30 yrs. ago my right hand was almost completely severed, my strength and dexterity is very poor in that hand. I also have had 20, yes 20 scope surgeries on my lower back in the last 10 yrs., so i can fully understand. That is why i mentioned i meant no disrespect in my post. If you need a citrus juicer, by all means use it. I meant no disrespect to you or anyone else who may use one. I just seem to be able to juice with my left hand while holding the citrus fruit in my right. I apologize if it came across that way, forgive me?, poor wording on my part i reckon. They are very useful, my wife is petite and she uses one. I have so many gadgets for the kitchen that we are running out if room, lol, i'm sorry, God bless
@darttoyou1 ty for the info my friend. I always make sure to give the citrus fruit a good roll with my hand and some pressure on the counter to make it juicy and soften it up also. Have a good day friend, God bless.
@darttoyou1 ty for the info friend
So use a fork if that's what you like. But they're testing juicers, not forks. If you juice a lot of lemons and limes I guarantee that winning juicer works better than a fork.
Pop that collar...
