I grow meyer lemons. My lemons are usually ready Nov.Dec time frame. Hand held juicers do no justice and I couldnt bring myself to spend a couple hundred on a juicer I would only use a couple times a year. This juicer is awesome! It does hold a bit of juice compared to others I was looking at ( I can do about 23-25 lemons). Its small enough that it wont take up alot space on your countertop. The juicer is large enough that I can use my meyer lemons on it and nothave to cut them into fourths before juicing. Its super easy to use and super easy to clean.
