FreshForce Lemon Squeezer Citrus Juicer
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
Dual-gear mechanism roughly doubles squeeze force vs single-pivot designs
The Chef'n FreshForce is the upgrade pick to the standard yellow handled lemon squeezer, Wirecutter named it their best citrus squeezer in 2019 and has held the recommendation through five test cycles since. The dual gear mechanism doubles the squeeze force at the bowl with less hand strain, which matters if you're juicing two lemons for a vinaigrette every other night or six limes for a pitcher of margaritas. The whole unit is dishwasher safe ABS plastic (not coated metal that will chip), and the gears are press fit rather than glued so they don't separate over years of use. r/Cooking threads name check this one specifically for arthritis friendly grip and for handling limes, which most basic squeezers undersize.
