Common materials include plastic, stainless steel, aluminum, and aluminum alloy.
Reported heights run from about 2 inches for small handheld reamers up to approximately 21.7 inches for large manual press models.
These presses handle lemons, limes, oranges, mandarins/tangerines, grapefruits, pomelos, pomegranates, and some softer vegetables like tomatoes.
One large manual press lists about 200 pounds of squeezing pressure and bowl diameters around 4.5" to 3.9", sized to accommodate larger citrus and pomegranates.
Handheld squeezers are very light and compact (reported weights from roughly 0.13 to 0.69 pounds), while press‑style manual juicers are much heavier and larger—examples list weights around 10 to 16 pounds.
