Alessi Juicy Salif | PSJS - Citrus Juicer in Aluminium Casting

I remember when in Y2K this squeezer was in every pretentious interior design magazine and we used to make fun of it being "effortlessly" placed in a visible spot. However, once I had a chance to actually use it, I found out how great and convinient and fun to use it is. I drink a lot of lemon tea or just water with lemon, and with any squeezer it makes for an annoying cleaning after every use. This one though takes literally 3 seconds to rinse, and it's perfectly clean - plus it is always at hand as it looks so cool you can leave it standing around. The only fault is the lemon pits fall into your tea, but I don't mind it so much as the other factors are more important for me. Quality is amazing as always with Alessi, and it comes in a nice box too. Makes a perfect gift (for yourself too).

OK let's get past the obvious point: we owned a plastic juicer that does the job perfectly adequately, but I still paid a lot of money for this. Worth saying that if you want one, hold out for a sale and get some money off - this is a want product, not a need, so hang fire and get more for your cash. I love it, I think it is supremely stylish and love the aesthetics, the look, the feel, the lot. It also works very well juicing fruit. It is easy to clean too - just never put it in a dishwasher. One tip for the top, the teeny rubber feet come out very easily - I would suggest a spot of superglue before you start using it, just to keep them secure. A tiny point though and not worth docking a star for.

My son loves it. Ornamental and useful

Excellent, menacing, aesthetic item.

This is one of the most spectacular pieces of functional art we have at home. I’ve been fascinated with Phillipe Starck’s amazing design since I was a teenager, and finally treated myself to one of these amazing juicers. It now sits on my island almost as a trophy! A MUST have purchase for the stylish homeowner. And on a further note - Starck is rumoured to have said: "It's not meant to squeeze lemons, it is meant to start conversations."

For those interested in a true design classic for their kitchen.

Great and iconic design is the only thing going for this. One is paying for the name and design. Nice centre piece

Alessi lemon squeezer. When you compare the price, on offer at the moment, with other shops and outlets, it’s a bargain. You can use it or just display it. You will need to put a glass under it if you do use it but why spoil it with acidic juice. A lovely item.
