This old school looking hand juicer is perfect for multiple purpose juicing. It easily squeezes juice from wheatgrass, celery, lettuce, parsley, kale, spinach, or any other leafy vegetable you want. We believe it is the principal value of this item.
It will also work with carrots or other hard vegetables, but if those kinds of vegetables are the primary purpose, we suggest choosing other item. Despite its complicated look, it can be cleaned very easily.
The Healthy Juicer product is something in between the simple hand press and an electric juicer. The “motor” of this item is a Hand-Crank, which you have to spin around to get your fresh, green juice.
The only thing you need is a sturdy table or counter in your kitchen. The juicer has a secure-locking suction base and a table clamp to stand stable on the surface.
PROS
- perfect leafs juicer
- made of solid materials
- very efficient
- easy to cleanup
CONS
- big
- needs a solid table
- more significant vegetables/fruit needs to be cut into smaller pieces
Price: $14.99
This plastic hand squeezer is suitable for all kinds of citruses. It comes together with the cup placed under the squeezer. Due to the measurement markings on it, you know exactly how much juice you already pressed (up to 350 ml).
OXO citrus juicer has two sizes of the reamer. That is why it can easily be at the same time lime, orange, or even grapefruit juicer. Its body is shaped for comfortable holding in one hand while squeezing with the other.
The juicer is made of plastic; it is free from BPA and can be safely clean in the dishwasher. This OXO juicer we consider more suitable for occasional purpose than for high volume squeezing.
PROS
- reasonable price
- dishwasher safe
- very easy to clean
- goes with two sizes of the reamer
CONS
- made of plastic, will not last for ages
- can leave some pulp in your juice
Price: $16.99

What makes this hand squeezer stand out among the others? It demands only a minimum of power from its user. One can say it is hassle-free. All because of its unique twisting mechanism. You need to put the fruit inside it and twist the handles against each other.
This Citrus Juicer requires horizontal, not vertical squeezing. That is why it is powered more by shoulders, not hands strength.
Joseph Joseph’s hand juicer is made of durable, safe materials like stainless steel and nylon. It consists of two parts, easily separated and even easier cleaned (also in the dishwasher).
PROS
- only minimal muscle strength needed
- no seeds in juice
- easy to clean
CONS
- only for small citruses, like lemons and limes
- squeezes around 80 % of a fruit
Summing up
Hand squeezers are easy to clean, but most of them demand a decent amount of strength from their user. They are perfect for occasional usage, preferably not for large scale juicing. Just imagine squeezing dozens of oranges or grapefruits with your bare hands… sounds tiring.
Unfortunately, with manual juicing, you cannot squeeze all the juice from the fruit. But it also happens with many electric juicers.
The number one product for us is – Zulay Professional Heavy Duty Citrus Juicer, which is more expensive than the others and more efficient, durable, and suitable for daily use.
