This Weird-Looking Kitchen Tool Is Actually the Best at What It Does, and It's on Sale Right Now

Amazon has many things on sale for its fall version of Prime Day going on right now, and there's plenty over there to browse. One thing that is not on sale on Amazon but is elsewhere is the delightful (and shockingly effective) citrus squeezer. An extra bonus: Unlike a lot of the other discounts going on right now, you don’t need to be a Prime member to take advantage of it.In addition to the lemon fluicer I have some sized for limes and oranges—all of them ideal for what they do. Noah KaufmanThe Fluicer, from Dreamfarm, is the best handheld juicer I think I’ve ever used. It just gives me big Shark Tank vibes. The squeezing jaws are flipped on their sides from the vertical orientation most juicers have. As a result, you can use even more leverage as you crush lemons, leaving not a single drop of juice behind. Not only that, because you’re squeezing the lemons in instead of down, the spatter is almost nonexistent. The seeds also get trapped in a little built-in channel.I don’t want anyone to be surprised, though: The Fluicer is made of plastic. But even so, it’s felt very sturdy over extended use in my kitchen. BA contributor Adam Campbell-Schmitt spent time thoroughly testing one of these, and his takeaway is that, if you have a whole basket of lemons to squeeze for lemonade or a big-batched cocktail, it’s the only way to go. Dreamfarm’s squeezer is faster and more efficient, plus it takes less effort.The Fluicer is 40% off its regular $22 price tag.If you were planning on writing off this year’s second round of Prime Day as just another stop in the indistinguishable march toward the holiday shopping season, I totally get it. But, for less than bucks, you could upgrade your tool drawer and have a conversation starter to show friends when they come over.
