Australian home cooks are going crazy over a simple $20 kitchen gadget – and it was dubbed the “best invention” of 2023.
This convenient purchase, which is available at retailers such as Victoria’s Basement, Kitchen Warehouse, Bunnings and Amazon, is famous for taking advantage of “every last drop” of oranges, lemons and limes.
It was named one of Time Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2023 and has also won a Red Dot Award, a Global Innovation Award and an Australian Good Design Award.
Dubbed ‘Fluicer’ by its creators at Dreamfarm, the item has resurfaced on TikTok lately as foodies discover it for the first time.
One of its newest and most avid fans, Liz Miu, took to the platform to rave about the tool, which is designed to “fold” the fruit in half.
To demonstrate how well it worked, he tried squeezing a lemon a second time after squeezing it and couldn’t get anything out.
She was also impressed by his ability to catch “every last seed.”
The video convinced thousands of people to try the device for themselves, especially after seeing so many ads on various platforms.

Australian home cooks are going crazy over a simple $20 kitchen utensil – and it was dubbed the “best invention” of 2023.
“Okay, I got ads targeting this and I wasn’t convinced until you squeezed my shaking arm at the end,” one woman said.
“That does have an influence,” said another.
Interestingly, Liz also issued a warning about the “dupes.”
“You can buy things that look the same but don’t do the same thing,” he said.
Others agreed, saying the $20 “real deal” was worth every penny.
‘Amazed wit, no one had thought of this before. This is by far the best citrus juicer out there. Well, except maybe the big Breville electric device, which you can’t take out to squeeze a lemon,” one praised.
‘Best lemon juicer ever and I would recommend it to everyone. So easy to use with my arthritic hands! Thanks for a great Australian product,” said another.
‘This is the best juicer! Works well with small limes and large lemons. I love the action of just pushing the handles together. No more awkward and repeated turns,” added one more.
