I have two, and they rock. Couple reasons:

1. Extra leverage is built-in with the design of the handle and the gears.
2. As advertised, they extract up to 20 more juice than other hand-held juicers.
3. They are sturdy -- not made of "pot metal" like the cheapy metal ones you see -- but some sort of very strong plastic. This was important to me because I have literally had a cheapy juicer break in half in my hand, and I was very lucky it didn't cut me. So I quickly added this to my gift wish list and was eventually given two. A couple years later I still love 'em. One is in my home bar, the other in my travel bar -- convenient.
4. The capacity is larger than the cheapy hand-juicers - I can do all limes and many lemons. Large lemons can't be squeezed by hand in this device - jumbo fruits are what other types and sizes of juicers are still needed for.

I've seen these at Williams-Sonoma and other higher-end places for between $20 and $25. They come in colors (I have a black one and a green one) which is kinda cool. If you have the patience and the time, you should consider adding this to your Christmas or birthday gift wish list - it's an easy no-brainer for someone who wants to buy you something which you will really use.

Watch for imitations - it's only a matter of time before knock-offs show up out there. Stick with this brand, pay the extra money, and I think you will most likely be very happy.
