Features:
Manual juicer for fresh-squeezed citrus juices
Powerful gear system with 800 pounds of pressure
Durable all-metal construction; 7 inches high
Easier to use and clean than electric juicers; squeezes sweeter juice
Top of the line polished chrome exterior finish makes the Mighty OJ retro-style juicer a true "Original". Cone and funnel are polished stainless steel. International Design Award Winner at the Frankfurt Fair, this chic and functional juicer is designed to look great on any bar or countertop. Easier to use and clean than electric juicers, it's a must for anyone who demands the ultimate in freshness.
Start your morning off right with a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. It's got more vitamin C than processed juice, and it just tastes better. The Mighty OJ citrus juicer in retro 1950s chrome puts 800 pounds of pressure to use making sweeter juice than electric juicers. Put your glass under the juicer, place half an orange on the raised cone, hold the juicer foot for leverage, and press the handle down. Just remember that it takes quite a few oranges to get a substantial amount of juice, so buy a bag. You can also use it to squeeze lemons, limes, and grapefruit. To clean the cone and funnel parts, lift them out of the juicer and rinse under the faucet. Lifetime warranty on moving parts. --Doree Armstrong

Old idea but lost functionability:
I was using an old juice king while visiting relatives and it is a great juice squeezer. I thought this would be the same but although the design is identical the function is not. The Metrokane does not have much leverage for squeeze the juice out and large citrus barely fits. I went back to my hand squeezer. The nice thing about the juice king is that you do not get all the pulp. Don't waste your time and money. Lucky Amazon.com has a great return policy so I was able to return mine and credit my card. ai... more info
Stylish, compact and useless juicer:
How disappointing. The problem with this juicer is that it does not squeeze the fruit completely, not even 75% I would say. Like some other reviewers said, it leaves a rim of unsqueezed pulp around the edges of oranges -- it does the same for limes. Even after reading some of the other reviews I had some hope that it would still work for limes, which we use most often. Alas, not. If you still insist on buying one of these lame juicers, I have since found them at Crateandbarrel for 39.95 -- their description... more info
Serious problems twice now:
I have now owned two of these juicers. Both have broken (the handle gets off-kilter and gradually disassembles itself; the head of the juicer cracks and eventually breaks from the stem). My first one lasted two years so I bought another when that broke. The second one is less than a year old; the head attachment is cracked and ready to break; the handle once again is gradually disintegrating. In addition, the second one is much more shoddy than the first; the 'cup' in the top does not fit cleanly into its... more info
works for lemons:
We received this as a gift just when our old electric one had bitten the dust. I was excited to have a durable product. But within a week my husband insisted that we replace this with another electric citrus juicer (we make oj every morning). Here are my pros and cons:
Pro:
Squeezes lemons just fine and requires less cleaning for a little bit of lemon juice than the electric one.
Cons:
Doesn't get out all the juice--we had to use 1.5 times the number of oranges as with the electric... more info
