Norpro Lemon/Lime Slicer, White

As other reviews mention, this slicer is not designed for heavy use in bars or commercial kitchens and may only last a few months before needing to be replaced. For consumers, however, it's a no-brainer. I use it to cut two lemons and two limes a week, so at this rate, I expect it to last a year or two before the blades dull. Since it's so cheap to replace, that's not a big deal. The slicer cuts great and is ready to go right out of the box, no assembly required. Cleaning is easy except for the spot where the blades all align... a piece of pulp always gets stuck here, and I mean it gets wedged in tight! Because the blades are all pointing this way, you can't use your fingers to pull it loose—not unless you want to risk cutting yourself. What I've found works best is a pair of tweezers. One or two tweezer tugs and the pulp comes free. Then just rinse, air dry, and you're done. Note: The directions tell you to place lemons inside the slicer the opposite way of limes. That's the only tough part to remember (save the box, as that's the only place they wrote the directions). The slicer works regardless of which way you put them in, though you will get better wedges if you follow the instructions. Overall, I give this slicer 4.5 stars, knocking off a half-star for the annoying pulp and tweezers cleaning issue, plus having to remember to flip lemons and limes instead of it creating perfect wedges either way.

Anyone who wants to have a lime with a beer knows the frustration of cutting that "perfect" wedge lime that will fit into the bottle without having to exert undue pressure. Well, this cutter does just that! 8 perfect wedges! At $10, it could not be easier to use and literally takes seconds. A word of caution - the blade is extremely sharp. Even an accidental touching will result in a cut. Also, the directions state that a person should remover the stem of a lime before cutting. This isn't necessary and, in my case, doing so increases of the likelihood of me amputating a thumb or finger.

Works great. Slices lemons with no effort.

Product works okay but not meant for a large amount of limes. You really have to apply lots of force to be able to use and the stability is not very sturdy. If you are using every now and then for a 2-3 limes it’s a good product.

Works great and slices limes perfect

I have purchased 3 of them and they work great!! If you cut the top and bottom off of the lime, it sure works a lot better.

I fell into the tik tok trend if making State Fair lemonade. This 2-piece lemon wedger completes my State Fair lemonade setup, and I'm equally impressed! This tool is incredibly well-constructed, with a seamless connection between the molded plastic and metal blade. It's made cutting lemons for my lemonade a breeze. The precision and simplicity of this lemon wedger have saved me so much time and effort. Now, I can easily create those perfect lemon wedges for my drinks without any fuss. It's a fantastic addition to my cocktail-making arsenal, and I couldn't be happier with it!

The blade did not stay sharp for long. When I pressed down on this it hurt my hands. It was easier to just cut the fruit with a knife. However it was easy to clean. It was pretty flimsy I was king of scared it would fall apart. I gave it a 3 star because it may work out for some but just wasn’t for me.
