About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

HEIXSTAR
Lemon squeezer

The HEIXSTAR lemon squeezer is a high-quality and versatile solution for squeezing citrus fruits such as limes, lemons or oranges. The specially developed shape of the pressing piston enables the fruit to be squeezed out completely and ensures that every drop of juice can be used for preparing drinks. The lemon squeezer is made of a robust zinc alloy, which is rust-proof and therefore guarantees a long service life and reliability. With a weight of 410 g, it is also heavier than many competitor products, which enables greater stability and more efficient juice extraction.

Advantages

✅ Complete squeezing of the citrus fruit
✅ High-quality workmanship and material quality
✅ Heavyweight design for better stability
✅ Versatile use for various citrus fruits

Disadvantages

❌ No instructions for cleaning

The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The HEIXSTAR lemon squeezer was delivered in an undamaged, easy-to-open shipping box. In addition to the squeezer, the packaging contained instructions for use and a soft bag for storage. However, it is not explicitly stated whether the squeezer is dishwasher-safe.
The product was fully protected as the lemon squeezer was safely stored in a preformed inlet. The packaging is attractively designed and effectively protects the product from damage during transportation. The sustainabilityof the packaging is also positive, as no additional plastic was used.

The contents of the lemon squeezer

The HEIXSTAR lemon squeezer makes a very good visual impression with its simple yet elegant design. The product has no manufacturing defects, only the joint has some play, but this may be intentional. The press is available in an attractive stainless steel look that fits into any household. The workmanship is very good, there are no visible corners or edges. The lemon squeezer offers good stability and does not give way even under strong pressure. Due to the high-quality materials, a long service life can be expected. The packaging itself is very high quality and also makes a good gift.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points

The lemon squeezer works quickly and easily. Limes and lemons or other citrus fruits can be squeezed effortlessly with little effort. When it comes to cleaning, there are no special instructions as to whether the squeezer is dishwasher-safe or should be washed by hand. The lemon squeezer offers a secure grip and is non-slip. It sits comfortably in the hand, but its weight gives it a certain heaviness, which can be a strain for some people. Overall, it is easy and ergonomic to use and the high-quality materials and careful workmanship make the squeezer robust and durable. We can recommend the HEIXSTAR lemon squeezer to anyone looking for a high-quality and durable squeezer.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
