Attractive but no good for frequent users
This is a sturdy and very attractive price of equipment. I've only given it 3 stars because it doesn't squeeze all the juice out of the fruit. At first I thought it was that my hands weren't strong enough to squeeze it very tightly but when my husband squeezed it and the handles were totally touching so it couldn't be squeezed any tighter, I still got another tablespoon of juice out of the limes and lemons( by using a lemon reamer) whichever size 'cup' I put the fruit in- and we tried it with at least 12+ different sized fruits, so why use the Twinzese? If you only need to juice a lime/lemon once a week say, then this is a great product. However if you use several a day in cooking, health drinks etc then it's very wasteful, and with organic limes and lemons at anything between 50-65p each, very expensive to be leaving so much juice in the fruit. I did contact the makers, and they were very polite etc but if you juice a lot of lemons/limes, there's no point using this juicer then having to squeeze the rest of the juice left behind with your teeth or fingers etc.Also you have to keep turning it on its side to pour the juice out as maybe it needs a few more holes? A great shame really, as I was really hoping it would be very good. Since then, I found a great little citrus juicer in The Steamer Cook shop by a company called Chef-n. It has a measure on the cup you squeeze the juice into and two sizes of head which take a lot more juice from the fruit and leaves you a 99% juiceless skin! . Very functional, easy to clean and strains the juice of pips etc as you pour. Small and cute and e less than a tenner.

Squeeze with EAZE!
We've all tried loads of "magic" kitchen gadgets, right? Very few make it past the first use and they usually end up cluttering-up our drawers and cupboards or taking the trip to the local charity shop in "the black bag of doom" so somebody else can make the same mistake a bit cheaper and "in a good cause".Well, sorry folks, but this beastie is just the best way to squeeze a lime or lemon, full stop! For years I've been wrestling with an old lemon squeezer dish thing and whether I'm juicing for a marinade for my fajitas or for a marguerita cocktail, it's always been a pain. With this Twinzee you just slice the lime or lemon in half, pop it in the bowl "the wrong way round" (flat cut side of fruit towards the curved bowl) and then close the handle. It easily squeezes out all the juice and turns the outer skin inside-out so you can see there's nothing left to squeeze.Sometimes there's a little bit of splashback if you squeeze very quickly (and lemon/lime juice will stain clothing), so either wear an apron or becareful out there.It all seems pretty solidly made out of metal and it says it's dishwasher-friendly (although you'll obviously need to remove any pips and mush lurking in the bowl before putting it in the washer).Yep, I like it!

Easy peasey Lemon Squeezy.
This looks very well made and durable. I've bought the lemon squeezer for a friend for her birthday in March so I've no idea how she likes it yet.I saw her using her Grannies old glass lemon squeezer and saw that she really worked hard to get as much juice as possible out of it.I asked her if she used the squeezer a lot. She said nearly every day for lemons, limes, and oranges. This will take all the hard work out of squeezing for her, so thank you so much. This will be great for her.

Brilliant little product
So pleased with my Twinzee Lemon squeezer - really easy to use and very well made. Have only used so far for lemons but can see the smaller green section being ideal for limes. Great value and very handy product that I would definitely recommend.

The lemon squeezer arrived a day before the estimated date.It was well packed and in perfect condition.It is sturdy and well made and now that we have used it we are very happy with it.It's a whole lot easier than squeezing the juice out by hand and it really squeezes the fruit just about dry. All in all a very good buy.

Squeeze me, please me!
A simple idea but beautifully done. I never seem to have the superhuman strength of the TV chefs, who squeeze their lemons dry with just one hand. Applying a little bit of of physics to the situation wins the day. I cut my lemon in half, place it face down in the appropriate bowl and use the long-enough handles to get as much of the juice as is possible. And being bright yellow, I'm very unlikely to lose it! Nice one Twinzee.
