Heavy duty, just as the description states.  Very well made, sturdy, and it works great. It also looks beautiful on my kitchen counter top. I bought the orange color, it is such a bright touch in my kitchen! No need to find a storage spot for it! No assembly required, this is a great plus!  I have not seen anything like it at any of the local stores.  Other products seen online do not compare in price.  I will be juicing my lemons from my lemon tree with great ease, and less time.  I have a large crop this year, and having the juicer will allow me to juice the lemons and keep the juice in ice cube trays in the freezer, to use as I need, for lemonade and recipes.  Having freshly squeezed orange juice in the morning is such a delight!  It works with lemons, mandarin oranges, and grapefruits too!  YUM!
