The best citrus juicers

There is some debate as to whether the juice from an electric juicer tastes as good as the juice from a manual juicer. Those on team manual juicer argue that the heat generated by an electric juicer causes oxidation, affecting the taste of the juice and causing a loss of nutrients. The Hurom Citrus Juicer combats this by constructing its reamer out of Styrene acrylonitrile resin (SAN), a thermoresistant plastic, meaning it won't transfer heat to your juice. With the Hurom you can confidently enjoy the best tasting, most nutritious juice with much less effort than a manual juicer.

Insider Reviews freelancer Lulu Chang tested the Hurom Citrus Juicer and was immediately impressed with not only the juice yield, but how easy it was to use the machine. She writes, "The Hurom Citrus Juicer is hands down the best way to get every last drop of juice out of your orange, grapefruit, or citrus of choice. That's thanks to the machine's one-size-fits-all finned juicing cone, which leaves rinds practically empty. When you press the handle down, the motor works automatically to mimic the motion of a hand squeezing citrus."

She was also impressed that the juicer was quiet despite its powerful 120V motor. She also found it easy to disassemble and clean despite claims that Hurom's juicers tend to be notoriously complicated.

Pros: Fits any size citrus, won't heat juice, easy to use, excellent juice yield

Cons: Short power cord, takes up lots of space on counter

If you would rather use a manual citrus juicer instead of an electric one, but you plan to squeeze large quantities of lemons or oranges, we recommend the Zulay Commercial Manual Citrus Press Stand Juicer.

This super-efficient, professional-grade citrus press uses leverage and gravity to effortlessly extract every drop of juice from each lemon as well as other citrus fruits. All you do is pop in half a fruit and pull down the handle. It separates freshly squeezed juice from the seeds with ease, and the adjustable cup works for lemons, limes, and oranges, too.

You can squeeze dozens of fruits without your hands getting tired and they stay clean. It's easy for kids to use, too.

The Zulay Citrus Juicer is made from heavy-duty cast iron with rubber feet. The detachable parts are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

Pros: Ideal for large quantities of fruit, designed for all citrus fruits, removable parts are dishwasher safe

Cons: Bulky, more expensive than other manual lemon squeezers

Most handheld citrus squeezers rely solely on the amount of pressure you can apply with your hands. If your grip strength isn't great, your juice yield might be lacking. The Chef'n FreshForce is designed to increase your squeezing power with its interlocking gear mechanism that forces the plunger down on to the butt-end of your lemon.

This lemon squeezer feels premium with its thick nylon body and stainless steel plunger. And it's so simple to use. It squeezes out all the juice without much effort and your hands won't ache. It copes very well with different sized lemons and limes, though if you're looking to juice oranges or grapefruit, you're out of luck with this model. This squeezer is also not suitable for juicing lots of fruit in one sitting as it would take a long time. You can pop it in the dishwasher to clean. Because it is small, it can be stored easily.

Pros: Small, easy to use, extracts all the juice, dishwasher safe, works with limes too

Cons: Not suitable for producing large amounts of juice, won't fit larger citrus fruits

Whether you want some fresh lemon juice to dress a salad or to make a lemon meringue pie, the Prepworks by Progressive Citrus Juicer is the ideal cooking accessory. It's also a bargain.

It's completely manual. You'll use a twisting motion to extract the juice and you'll have to keep your hand on the fruit, so things can get a bit messy.

The dome lid doubles as a measuring cup and the base has a well-designed spout, so you won't spill the juice all over the countertop when you pour it out. The tray does a great job of separating the juice from the seeds. It is not suited to squeezing more than one or two lemons or limes at a time because it is a small juicer.

Pros: Small, easy to use, easy to store, dishwasher safe

Cons: Only works with small fruits, suited to small quantities of lemons, doesn't squeeze out all the juice, can be messy
