"You need small lemons... and big, strong hands!"
This will only juice small to med. sized lemons. Lemons with a larger circumference will overlap the sides when cut in half. It is also pretty tough for me to squeeze without really hurting my hands. The cut side of the lemon goes down and the curved part presses the lemon on the top until it collapses and turns inside out. That takes a lot of force, with the handles a good 5-6 inches apart. I would imagine a lot of women's hands aren't that big or strong. I am currently looking for a better solution, perhaps a stand press with a lever.

"It really works!"
I read about this squeezer in Cook's Illustrated magazine. They rarely steer you wrong on product reviews, so I bought 5 as Christmas gifts (and 1 for me). Everyone likes it! It turns the lemon half inside-out and really gets all the juice out. It's much neater than a hand reamer, and the seeds stay in the squeezer.


"a great utensil"
I purchased this squeezer because it was highly recommended by Cook's Illustrated [which has reliable opinions]. I have found it to be everything they said and more. No matter how difficult the lemon, it extracts the most juice and leaves the pulp and seeds behind. I have arthritis in my hands but find this squeezer easy and comfortable to use. My juice extractor of choice was a reamer, but now I go for the Amco Squeezer instead. I also have the lime squeezer which is even more useful because limes are often dry and hard.

"Works great!"
Got one a few weeks ago and it works great! Can't speak for longevity, but it feels sturdy and works well and we'd likely buy the same one if it wears out in a year or so.

"good design works, but bad enamel doesn't stand up for long"
I've had both the yellow lemon squeezer and the green lime squeezer for nearly a year -- and now both of them are loosing their enamel. We use them a lot -- and I expected more.

Also, they don't give up the natural oils of the rinds in the dishwasher, and end up having to be washed by hand periodically. The small bowl shape is a real mess to try and clean.
