Classic retro 50's design
Amazon.com Review
Fun, funky, and oh-so-retro, the Mighty OJ Juicer not only makes squeezing limes, lemons, and small oranges a snap but claims a home in the Museum of Modern Art for its classic design. With durable all-metal construction, this particular model features a white baked-enamel body and a brightly polished chrome top and handle. Thanks to the rack-and-pinion gear system, up to 600 pounds of pressure are exerted on a citrus half during squeezing, so that every drop of juice is extracted from the fruit. No electricity is needed, and therefore there's no motor to burn out; the juicer is completely hand-operated. After use, the stainless-steel cone and funnel are easily removed and rinsed clean under running water. Weighing 4-1/2 pounds and standing 7-1/2 inches tall, the juicer takes up very little counter space and is covered by a lifetime warranty on moving parts. --Ann Bieri

This review is from: Metrokane Mighty OJ Citrus Juicer, White with Chrome Head and Handle (Kitchen)
I used the Mighty OJ for many years. This latest purchase was for a friend. It has a small footprint and is great for limes and lemons, less great for oranges (they are too big). There are some problems. It's gear driven and the metal wears out after a few years (you'll notice metal shavings on the counter, not in the juice). More recently my son bought me a much bigger-deal manual squeezer. It cost 3 times as much as the Mighty OJ, is much bigger, and works only a little better. No electric juicer seems to work as well as either of these manual juicers.

It's true that this juicer works best with small oranges, as it won't get all the juice out of the bigger ones, and they might not even fit in the space provided to press them.
But with the right size oranges, it works very well, and extract all the juice. I've been using it a lot this winter for fresh orange juice full of vitamins!
