Question 1

Lemon leaves residue in the bowl that's hard to clean to shiny again. Yours, too? Anyone know why? It makes it a PITA to clean & NOT stainless.

Accepted Answer

A baking soda, white vinegar, and water bath takes the residue off the juicer as well as fruits from the store.  I do this with all of my fruits and veggies and the "filth" that comes off is unreal!  My friends and family say "You always have the best tasting fruit!"

Question 2

What is the country of origin  for this product?

Accepted Answer

Not everything is made in China. In fact everything in my kitchen is made in the USA or Europe. I have a full kitchen. People have issues due to lead and impurities found in food products from China, human rights abuses, and environmental impact of shipping.

Question 3

Is there a manual or instructions in the box? Is there anything in the box other than just the squeezer?

Accepted Answer

In the supplied Squeezer there are not instructions for usage or some kind of a manual which is noted in some reviews. This is an omission of the manufacturer.Here are some  instructions how to use the Squeezer and how the lemons/limes should be prepared so one can squeeze more juice from them:
1) Wash the citrus fruit

2) Cut the both ends so the bark is almost removed. This opens more space for the upper cone to press down.

3) Cut the fruit about the great circle (i.e. along the middle) in two approximately equal parts.

4) Turn the obtained halves with their wider part upwards. Make at the end of the circle edge of each part 4-8 cuttings of the bark with, for example, 5-9 mm depth. This is very important because otherwise the edges of the bark will remain distorted (not inverted) after squeezing, which will result in loss of juice.

5) Put one of the halves with the wider part down in the squeezer and press the grips with one or two hands until the two cones almost touch each other. Take the remains out and repeat the procedure with the second half but do not remove the remains.
Keep in mind that a little juice remains between the two nested bowls/cups. Tilt the Squeezer to pour this juice.

6) Open the juicer and put the remains of the first half upon the remains of the second half. Press again and you will get more juice. Open the juicer, interchange the places of the remains of the two halves and press again. In this way you will get several more drops of juice.

Question 4

how does this thing compare with the old-fashioned round glass juicers (that have a raised hump in the middle)?  Thanks!

Accepted Answer

This lemon press is a marvelous well made tool.  It crushes 1/2 lemon and the juice runs through leaving the seeds and a little flat tire of a lemon.  It is much easier than the old fashion glass juicers. I should have had one of these a long time ago!
