BLACK+DECKER 32oz Electric Citrus Juicer, CJ625, Pressure Activated, Adjustable Pulp Control, Dishwasher-Safe

UPDATE Jan 2013 - I am still using the original repair with the wire ties. i got the new reamer on the shelf but the Juicer is still just awesome. Best $20 bucks I have ever spent. The only issue is some oranges aren't sweet enough for me. So I squeeze a drop or two of Stevia and like magic - perfect juice. The other day the handle broke off the darn thing. But I had a spare from the replacement they sent me. So expect the thing to last a year or two. And I still LOVE THIS PRODUCT.UPDATE AUGUST 2012: Stopped Juicing - Reamer not turning- unit ran 8 months without issue. I contacted B&D / Applica.APPLICA RESPONSE They were very specific on knowing the plug number and want me to cut off the plug and return it for replacement unit. At a cost of $7.50 for handling and shipping - hardly a great warranty given the new one will likely do the same thing in the future. That being said it does juice well while it runs. Comments on noise are valid - pretty loud. Not being sure what the issue was, I tore the thing apart as I need to cut the plug off anyway. INSIDE THE unit is all plastic gearing - all in fine shape.UPON FURTHER ANALYSIS: the Small reamer cone that fits on the drive shaft had CRACKED. The shaft is turning inside the Hexagonal core on the underside of the reamer. You can order the small reamer for $2.95 PLUS $10 Shipping.(PART# CJ625-03.) [...]So if your unit APPEARS to have stopped turning but the motor is running -look at the internal shaft to see if it is turning within the reamer. The small reamer is ALWAYS used as it is the drive mechanism. Large one slips over it.OUTCOME: I am ordering 4 of the small reamers. $12 + $10 = $22 but it should now work fine. After looking at the gearing and the lack of wear on it, I think it will run for several years. Stay tuned I will update on the next break down. .ORIGINAL REVIEW- Dec 2011: I got myself this juicer for the holidays. Amazon sent it - free shipping. What I can't understand is what some people want for $20.00 bucks. If you want the best citrus juicer for the money this is it! I love it - love it - love it! Clean up is sooooooo simple. You get citrus for breakfast and Lemon Drops for happy hour. Construction is awesome (pretty good) and assembly is too cool. The foot print is small and the cord wrap base is priceless.

My wife likes fresh lemon juice, so it is up to me to get it for her. This unit has made it very easy to get the juice for her. It's auto-reversing function, the ability to adjust the amount of pulp in the juice, and the simple, easy-to-clean design makes it actually fun to use. Highly recommend!

This is an outstanding product. It's very well made and works great! I have an orange tree outside,and I've juiced baskets of oranges since I received it. It has a control for pulp or no pulp and tworeamers for various size fruit. Plus it's all dishwasher safe. And it has a large juicer container!Couldn't be happier.

Okay. I can't speak to how long this will last, because I haven't had it long. First let me say it won't have to last for years to justify it's fifteen dollar price tag. And you know, if it lasts six months, I'll buy another. Fresh juice is part of my morning routine. I don't like the heat processing and jacking he flavor with rind extracts that the "all natural" juices don't tell you about. Nor do I like juice from mystery sources, meaning Chinese concentrate with who knows what all in it.What I like about this one:Efficient reamer. It absolutely cleans the orange halves out, down to the rind.Doesn't clog. The reamer has two extensions that rotate with it. They keep a path cleaned out so that the pulp can't plug up the pulp sieve. This is a big deal because...Built in carafe. The juice goes into a removable pitcher, so you can juice a LOT of oranges in one sitting. A clear, well-fitting lid goes on so it can go into the refrigerator. You don't have a spout to keep a glass under and clean up after.Easy to clean. The pulp catcher and reamer pop right out and just rinse clean.No parts to store. The lemon reamer is the primary reamer, the one that has the fingers that are driven to turn by the motor shaft. The orange reamer fits right over the lemon reamer. If you just did oranges and never took the reamer apart, you'd never know the lemon reamer was under there. I really like not having to keep up with parts.Things you might not like:It's not a real robust machine. The weight tells you that. And it's a bit noisy. Doesn't bother me at all, but some people are sensitive. It's not deafening, either. Just know it's loud. The rest of the house will know you're juicing.As with nearly everything these days, the power cord is kind of short. Not so short that it's a terrible problem, but it's not going to be used very far from an outlet.The reamer reverse is kind of lame. If you're going one direction, you let up and stop for a couple of seconds, and when you start again, it will be turning the other direction. I'm sure this is to do a more complete job, but I found it so efficient that there really wasn't much juice left to get. It would probable have been better left out of the design for the sake more simplicity.Look, it's got a two-year warranty. I know, it's not much money to justify invoking a warranty. But I do, and my credit card gives me an additional year warranty.I don't expect a long life for the product. But if I get a year, I'll figure it's paid for. It just works so well. If it fails in the short term, I report here.

We enjoy fresh orange juice in a number of things, homemade salad dressing, glaze for chicken wings, orange vodka etc. I had been using a hand type citrus crusher and it was soooo time consuming and my hand would ache for hours after squeezing 6 to 8 oranges. Plus they had to be cut into small pieces to fit inside the hand unit which lengthened the chore even further.Bought this because of the reviews and the low entry price and couldn't be happier. Now I'm regularly making quarts of juice for all the things mentioned above in a fraction of the time. I'm also extracting way more juice than the old method and the process is not a strain on the hands. The pulp filter works great at keeping your juice pulp free if that's what you prefer and clean-up is also quite easy as the parts are plastic and simply slip lock together.We'll see how it holds up over time but for the price, it makes a tedious task easy and enjoyable so mission accomplished!

Easy use and clean
