Artisan Crafted Cast Aluminum Professional Grade Manual Hand Press Juicer For Fresh Squeezed Orange, Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit and Citrus Fresh Morning Drinks, or Cooking by Verve CULTURE,Gold

Like so many Italian things, this juicer looks great, but doesnt feel like it is built very well. Everything shakes, nothing feels solid or well-made. But, so far (two days use) it squeezes the hell out of limes and that is its job. So I guess it's okay. I just wonder for how long.

Very poorly made. Is not stable very wobbly is not made of appropriate metal like the picture. Seems to be cheap aluminum as opposed to a more durable, stainless steel metal. It will only hold & fit very small lemons or limes.. nothing large larger than the size of a nothing large larger than the size of a golf ball. The lever is extremely off balanced making the functionality challenging and quite messy. Very disappointing purchase.Dont Buy unless you want it as home decor only.

Let me start by saying that this product actually works despite the numerous problems in its construction. I happen to be a welder and mechanic, which is a good thing, because this juicer needed a LOT of work: 1) The main upright leaned to one side by twelve degrees (I measured). 2) The base wobbled (I was able to shave down one of the rubber feet to correct this). 3) There were metal burrs inside the squeezing strainer that could have detached and wound up in someone’s drink (I ground and polished the interior of the strainer). 4) I washed the fruit-contacting pieces in the dishwasher and they came out covered with a greasy dark gray film. Easy enough to hand wash them, but it would have been nice to be warned. Bar Keeper’s Friend and a good scrubbing fixed the problem. After taking the unit apart, spending considerable time with files and emory cloth to straighten the main shaft, and introducing nylon washers to take the slop out if the lever mechanism, it finally works as it should. I guess I should have returned it, but I really like the overall aesthetic of the squeezer, and now I have far too much time invested to give it up. “Artisan” should mean “artfully made by hand.” It should never mean “sloppy and poorly made.”

This thing crushes limes. My Margarita productivity has improved exponentially. Don’t expect machining to precise tolerances, but when you juicing limes it does not matter. It’s found a permanent home on the bar. Highly recommended!

This juicer really well made and looks great. It really gets the juice out if you press hard. The only problem when you press hard it wants to tip forward so you need to hold your other hand on the back side. It might be easier if it were mounted to the surface. It would be nice if there was an attachment to do larger fruit like grapefruit or even larger oranges. As it is it is primarily for lemons and small oranges.

The bad ratings didn’t read enough. This is sand casted so it’s bound to have imperfections and you are able to get another if the imperfections are an issue. Cut into 1/4 for the best juicing. Easy squeezing. Removal parts for cleaning. The size is bigger than I thought but a good (not too big) statement piece. Easy to use.

The product does not stand up to its potential .. if they used a heavier stainless steel base. Also is unbalanced as to once you go for the full squeeze it wants to topple over. It looks nice on the counter as decoration but functionally poor … been in the lemon squeezing biz for 18 years and I brought for personal use at home it it failed

Bittersweet. Looks great on the counter and it works. But it’s definitely janky. Joints are loose and it’s impossible to tighten. Not typical hardware. Also, the perch that you put the fruit on is so frustrating to get lined up. Also, requires some muscle. My wife is in great shape - works out 5 days a week… she make me do it because she can’t pull the lever down enough to get all the juice out of an orange

Funktioniert- Qualität geht so

The product had multiple issues, including a faulty frame, a handle that caused discomfort, and inadequate information regarding its suitability for larger citrus fruits.

Works really well for lemons Not so well for other citrus fruits
