- Solid, aluminum head for durability and easy juicing
- Soft rubber handle absorbs tension on hands
- Handle is nonslip, wet or dry
- Great for juicing citrus fruits
- Easy to clean
Now this is a reamer that will make quick, easy work of juicing lemons, limes, or oranges. Very sturdy, with a comfy, non-slip handle, it will allow you to exert maximum force while also giving you great control.
This reamer's soft handle--comfortable even after repeated twists and turns--absorbs pressure as the aluminum juicing end wrings out every last drop of lemony goodness. It's also great for limes, oranges, and grapefruits, and cleans up with one swipe of a sponge.
The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip, flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably, the pressure-absorbing, processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while still providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

| This little reamer is packed in our suitcase for trips to the coast where we can get fresh citrus. It's wonderful for extracting all the juice. The rubber handle is easy on the palm. The aluminum makes for easy cleanup. I fully recommend this product. |

This is a great item when I want to juice one or two fruits, preferably small citrus such as lemons or limes. It's heavy and quite hefty, and the grip is not squishy, it actually feels very solid and doesn't yield to pressure much but it's not uncomfortable. It washes really well and I prefer it to the wooden reamer, those tend to get gross if left wet or in the sink and wood should never be exposed to too much liquid unless it's still a tree sitting in the ground.
I spend the last weekend making lemonade and limeade and this was in constant rotation. I just made up a simple recipe, juice of one lemon or two limes, good shake of sugar ( about 1.5 - 2 tbs) and mixed in with tiny bit of hot water to melt the sugar, then I added 5 ice cubes and filled my 12 oz glass to the rim with mineral water. Quick mix later and I had a great, refreshing sip of something healthy (minus the sugar I guess) that I got to make myself. I always have citrus fruit on hand; I get them in dozens and fill up a bowl in my room almost as a centerpiece, mixing the colors. It's definitely better to make some iced juice than drinking Kamikazes all night long lol.
If I'm juicing a lot of fruits or oranges, I prefer the stationary juicer; one with a little plate attached but for quick jobs this is great, just remember to roll the citrus on the counter while pressing on it with the palm, or a quick nuke in the microwave makes it even more juicy and fabulous.

| Wooden Version is Better | 2005-05-28 | 3 / 5 |

| I second what other cooks have stated here. OXO's wooden version of this citrus reamer is much better and three dollars cheaper to boot. The grooves on the wooden reamer are deeper and sharper and "catch" the sides of the fruit better, getting more juice out. |

This reamer looks nice and is easy to clean, that's where my good comments end. This tool is too smooth to properly ream citrus. It just spins around with very little juice coming out of the lemon. Best reamer is a plain wood one. The wood has enough texture to properly ream and makes for a good grip.
Most markets sell them for under $2.00 |

| Somehow, the edges aren't sharp enough, so it doesn't work that well. I purchased a wooden one at some later point, and I tend to favor it since it seems less slippery and has sharper edges. |
