These limes have been small and hard this year.They have little juice.The southwest limes have been very productive.

It juices larger ones better. We have juiced small lemons on it but you have to hold it very precisely. If they are too small we use a lemon squeezer. Good Luck!

I have only used it for pomegranate juice. I think if you used less pressure it would also work for citrus as it looks just like my citrus press juicer; just stronger.

I have juiced citrus along with greens, other fruit and veggies in various combinations and mostly with the small hole screen, but I have not juiced just citrus. I would think that it would be fine and that the large hole screen would produce pulpier juice.

A key lime (sliced in half) would fit. Or maybe one-fourth or one-third of a lemon.

Hello Andy! This juicer will be great for juicing citrus such as oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, etc. This unit uses a reamer to juice.

You can juice oranges & grapefruit with the peels using the Big Boss, but it's best not to because it will make your juice taste just like the peel. You can however, juice lemons & limes with the peel on. No on juicing bananas and avocados, but it will make nut milk. It has handled all of the vegetables I've used, carrots, sweet potatoes, beet roots, greens, etc.

If the grapefruit is small, it would work. The large side of the juicer measures 3.5 inches across.

This is a citrus juicer, only for things like limes, lemons, oranges, and grapefruits.

No clue on that. I know we have tried it on most citrus based fruits with no issues, but keep in mind its a press, it just exerts pressure down on the fruit to squeeze out the juice.

Well it does juice it but not well enough. Not like other juicers I've heard about, like the omega and others.

Yes it does but you need to add something that juices a lot in with it at the same time.

I did not try to squeeze limes, but I can tell you that I have a big one for oranges, and squeezing a lemon in the big orange one does not work. So the same probably applies to squeezing a lime in the lemon one. They do sell a metal lime squeezer.

There are two ways to use this type of juicer. You'll photos or videos showing putting the half face down and others with the half face up. Both ways work if you let the juice go into a bowl that's larger than the juicer. It takes some experimenting depending on the size of the sphere or ball shape of the fruit. Small lemons and regular limes work fine, using that technique of trying it both ways. Really small lemons are similar to key limes. It seems to work best to do one squeeze right side up and one squeeze upside down.Good luck!

It's a citrus squeezer not specific for any one fruit. I use it for squeezing lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit.

I haven't tried key limes. At BJ's (the local equivalent of Costco, etc.), they sell bags of undersized limes which aren't much bigger than key limes, and it works fine on them. You press down on the fruit with the palm of your hand on to a spinning plastic apparatus. It isn't dangerous, and I think you'd be fine if you're careful.

Juicer is great for small fruits. We have a lime tree and I can juice 6 cups in minutes. Takes longer to cut the limes in half than to juice them. Hope this helps.

Should work just fine I used it to put out pelletized lime and it worked fine.
