HELIX CITRUS PRESS
These citrus presses have a unique twisting mechanism. Most hand-held juicers require strong hands to operate and their vertical squeezing action can often be awkward to use. With the Helix juicer, however, the squeezing force is applied horizontally. Because, it is much easier and utilises the power of the shoulders.
