Product Description: This best-selling model in the Metrokane Mighty OJ line up features a white baked enamel finish on the base and a snappy chrome top and handle. In fact it's such a marvel of good looks married to superlative performance, many of these have found permanent homes in museums around the world.
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

Rating: - Great Form, Lousy Function
This juicer looks cool and sleek and oh so chic. Using it is another matter. First, as many other reviewers have mentioned, it really can't extract the juice from anything other than a small orange, a lime, or a small lemon. The next problem is that once you've squeezed your 8 oranges to get a glassful, and you remove the glass, it continues to drip on the counter. Finally, cleaning the thing completely is pretty-near impossible - you end up with bits of orange inside, outside, in the gear mechanism, etc. So while I love to look at it, I can't recommend that anyone else spend their money on ...

Rating: - Manual Citrus Squeezer
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.

We use this juicer for limes when we make margaritas - it works perfectly!
Rating: - I am really dissapointed with the product
I have lost a lot of oranges as the squeezer doesn't squeeze the juice completely. It is also really hard to use as I have to use a lot of strength so it can hardly work. In the past I had one of the same kind that was really easy to use. I had to put in in the drawer and go get another one at the grocery store close to my house. I saw one of this kind at World Market and it really works, and the price is even lower than the price I paid for your Metrokane. I don't recommend anyone to buy this product. The only reason I didn't send it back is because I throw the original box away. If there ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointing
We bought this juicer less than a year ago and the base is already cracked and the juicer is not likely to last much longer. When we pull down the handle now we have to be careful that the juicer doesn't topple as the crack has caused it to be unbalanced. Pay the extra money and get a better model.
