I compared performance of "Chef'n FreshForce Lime Juicer, 12-inches" [CH] and "KitchenAid Citrus Juice Press Squeezer for Lemons and Limes with Seed Catcher and Pour Spout, Lemon, 8 inches" [KA].Maximum dimensions (L, W, H, bowl inner diameter, in centimeters):CH 24 7 6.7 6.4KA 22 9 5.4 7.3Neither juicer can be taken apart in any way.Mechanical gain:CH's gear mechanism gives it slightly more than a 2:1 mechanical gain, however the location of the center of the cup further from the main hinge reduces its mechanical gain by 0.8 relative to KA, for an overall mechanical gain of 1.6. The CH configuration also allows the presser to come down in a more parallel fashion, giving a more uniform squeeze across the lime, though I can't say I noticed any benefit from this.I applied a bit of food-grade silicone grease to CH's gears, which made it smoother to open and close, though it likely makes little difference when actually squeezing a lime.Squeezing of juice: I cut a large lime in two halves vertically, so that the two halves were identical. Fitting the half into CH required pushing in the two ends a bit, easily done. Both juicers squeezed out 13 to 14 grams, making them equal in juice extraction. CH may have squeezed out a tiny bit more.KA's press has 12 grooves, like in a reamer for a hand-juicer where the fruit half is rotated around the reamer. This actually reduces the juice extraction slightly. If you rotate the rind by 1/24th of a turn after pressing it, you can press it again to get a few more drops of juice.Handling: Both juicers require a considerable amount of force to get the two handles to meet with a half-lime in the press. KA offers the advantage that it can be placed on a counter, and you can use your full weight applied on the wide upper handle. This is beause KA has a built-in bowl to catch all the juice. CH has to be held over a cup, so you have to rely on your grip strength for the squeeze, with a narrower handle that is only 80% as wide as KA's handle. While squeezing, KA's plastic frame distorts noticeably, while CH's plastic frame remains perfectly rigid.Overall: If you prefer to place the juicer on a counter and put your weight on it, KA is your choice. CH works just as well, but requires a lot of grip strength. CH also has a more solid frame, which doesn't bend under pressure.

I am delighted with how well this works. The pour spout makes it quick and easy to pour the juiceonce it has been squeezed from the lemon. The squeezer rests—if desired—on your countertop forincreased stability and leverage.
