    Luna: We use a manual, old-fashioned glass one.

    I have a cheap plastic one- it was maybe $2? that I've had for many years. My brother once gave me an electric one many years ago, and it was just messy and hard to clean and LOUD.

    I have this one: a Black and Decker Citrus Mate https://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-.../dp/B00004SC51

    I bought it when I was into making fresh lemonade in the summer, but honestly, I rarely use it anymore. Maybe once a year. When I move, it's definitely going out to the garage sale table.

    If you are definitely buying a lemon squeezer, this one is a good one. I just found that our local natural food store sold organic lemonade at a better price than I could make it for myself. Lemons are darned expensive.

    Lemon squeezing: roll ‘em on the counter, cut ‘em open, and squeeze. Roll some more. Squeeze.
    No apparatous needed.

    Granted, I don’t squeeze lemons very often. I keep it fair number of them in the freezer and pull them out when necessary.

    I have finally found the perfect lemon bar recipe that requires eight lemons but it is really good!

    This is what I use. My hands aren't strong enough to squeeze a lemon or lime, plus I always let at least one seed slide through. https://www.ebay.com/i/223269598067?chn=ps

    I use an electric one very similar to the Black and Decker one posted, but I think mine is a Sunbeam. It is probably 25 years old and just refuses to die, probably because I use it maybe once a year or less so it is still like new!
