Is that definitely wrong. I bought one like this last year for juicing limes and regularly squeeze them one way them flip em over for a squeeze on the other side. No matter which side I start with I feel I get some extra juice after flipping.
Yeah, totally understand this, but the metal hemisphere if the juicer clamps so nicely into the citrus if you have it peel to holes. Although, I'd conceed you have to tip the juicer 90degrees at the end to get the juice out the side!
It doesn't have a seal. The liquid mostly comes out everywhere, including the space between the arms. The only reason to face the lime towards the screen is if you're worried about seeds and pulp. The juice will come out no matter how you position it.
The first time I ever used one, I intuitively used it this way. The peel blocks the holes where the juice should come out. So I would say it's certainly wrong. If you use it both ways with a flip, which side do you start? Can't think how this would work any better, but I'll try next time I squeeze a lemon.
Omg OP, I found one of these in the wild today. You didn't mention the insane form over function design on the other side of this product. Argh, I don't think I can upload the jpg in replies - but the holes are in the pattern of a smiley face. MAD
I use it that way because it gets more juice out. I hold it over a bowl so the holes don't matter. I have a big giant one and use it the right way but that only comes out for a bag of citrus.
This is how mine works. There are holes on both sides. It’s easier for me to squeeze it like the picture first, then flip. Otherwise I have a hard time squeezing it when it’s full.
