Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Metrokane Mighty Mini Bar Juicer, Chrome
Customer Review: Extremely Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this juicer specifically for use as a bar tool, and it saw intermittent use on lemons (and only lemons) for about three months. While it did a decent job of extracting juice, the lever itself was balky, suggesting to me that the internal gear assembly isn't machined to particularly high tolerances. Furthermore, the spout is positioned EXTREMELY low: you can get a jigger/pony underneath it, but anything larger is an adventure. Finally, the "stem" isn't manufactured well: it had started to bend, thus degrading the performance of the gears even further, and when I tried to bend it back into shape with some gentle pressure, it actually snapped apart, destroying the juicer entirely.
Save your $30.
Description of Metrokane Mighty Mini Bar Juicer, Chrome
Metrokane introduces the Mighty Mini Bar Juicer. This "mini" mechanical juicer is designed specifically for the home bar. A mini version of the classic, award winning MightyOJ juicer, it squeezes lemons and limes for margaritas, daiquiris, sours and lemonade.Taking up just a small amount of bar space but looking mighty good, the Mighty Mini juicer makes a great gift for the home bartender. Sized for lemons and limes rather than oranges, the 1950s-look juicer is ideal for making fresh-squeezed citrus juice to add to a margarita, daiquiri, mojito, or other cocktail. The lever operates a strong rack-and-pinion gear system that squeezes all traces of juice out of the lime or lemon half. A small, low cup (not provided) is required to fit underneath the spout. After use, the stainless-steel cone and funnel remove for rinsing clean under running water. If a more constant demand of fresh-squeezed juice is in the offing, try the Mighty OJ Juicer, Metrokane's larger, original version with the same polished-chrome retro styling. --Ann Bieri
