Black & Decker CJ525 CitrusMate Plus Citrus Juicer review by Katherine M. - Boise, Idaho:

I love love love fresh lemonade and decided to get a powered juicer on a whim because my arm and wrist was getting way tired doing all my juicing by hand.

I bought this model because it was the cheapest at the time and I figured would be my best bet. I've owned it for just under a year and so far I love it. It works like advertised and I haven't had a single problem with it even though I use it at least twice a week.

It is extremely easy to clean and the cord wrap is awesome because it makes the juicer easy to store and take out whenever I've got a craving for some of that fresh lemonade. :) Probably the best part about the unit though is the adjustable pulp catch.

I absolutely can not stand pulp in my juice! So this feature has been a huge plus especially when I take the time to make some pulpy (yuck) orange juice for my boyfriend.

Maybe the only problem with this is the time, it doesn't take forever or anything to juice the fruits, but I'm sure a larger more expensive model could juice more fruits at a faster pace. But for just a few lemons and the occasional oranges this juicer has served me very well over the last few months and I'm very glad I decided to go with this cheaper model.

It's been my favorite kitchen appliance for some time now and I will probably use it more and more as time goes on.

Oh, and you can wash most of the parts in the dishwasher! Major plus because who has time to wash dishes when you can enjoy your fresh squeezed juice?
