| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |

*The maximum score is 100 points
After subjecting the lemon squeezer to an extensive practical test, we are pleased to say that we are extremely satisfied with the product overall. The specially designed shape of the squeezing plunger proved to be extremely effective, as it makes it possible to squeeze every lemon and lime thoroughly without wasting a drop of juice. The attached strainer proved to be extremely useful as it ensures that no unwanted pips get into the juice.
We were particularly impressed by the universal size of the lemon squeezer with a diameter of 7 cm. However, it should be noted that there is still some juice left in the lemon after squeezing, which has to be extracted by hand. Cleaning the squeezer is extremely easy and time-saving as it is dishwasher-safe .
The lemon squeezer proved to be very non-slip thanks to the ergonomically designed handles on both sides. However, it is worth mentioning that handling is easier with dry hands, as this reduces the risk of slipping. The easy and ergonomic handling of the squeezer, in combination with the high-quality materials and careful workmanship, conveys a feeling of robustness and durability.
Overall, we can unreservedly recommend the lemon squeezer to anyone looking for a high-quality and durable squeezer that is easy to clean and use. With this product, you not only get an efficient citrus juicer, but also a reliable kitchen utensil that copes effortlessly with everyday use.
