Amazon.com Review
With a capacity of more than a quart (34 ounces), this electric juicer can prepare family-size portions with little operator effort. Large and small cones fit on the reamer to accommodate different-size fruits. The reamer automatically reverses itself to extract the maximum amount of juice, while a stirrer presses juice from the pulp in the strainer. Finally, there's an adjustable control that regulates how much pulp goes into the juice, a feature margarita fanciers will welcome. For storage, the cord wraps in a slot around the base, and a cover protects against dust. Hand wash this juicer in warm soapy water. --Fred Brack Editor's Choice:A great first juicer, or a good juicer for someone who doesn't juice every day, Black & Decker's CitrusMate Plus citrus juicer is our choice for best citrus juicer under $50. It will fit into every budget and still deliver lots of fresh juice. This juicer is extremely easy to use, as you just install the cone you want to use (it comes with two cones, making it adaptable for different sizes of fruit), plug it in, and press the fruit down into the cone. Then it goes to work automatically.

 Black and Decker Citrusmate: Great Juice, Great Value July 29, 2010
Bryan Carey (Houston, TX)
Black and Decker Citrusmate is a simplistic small appliance with many good reasons to consider it for your kitchen. This juicer takes up little space, offers cord wrap storage underneath, features a reversible reamer, and produces fresh- squeezed juice for a much lower cost than other juicers.
Black and Decker Citrusmate requires little effort to extract the juice and the reamer is just as effective as the more expensive juicers at maximizing the amount of juice squeezed from your favorite fruit. The reamer on this juicer is reversible and the dual- action is activated by letting up on the pressure, then pressing again. Each time you do this, the reamer spins the opposite way. The back and forth action helps to squeeze out as much juice as possible. The pitcher will be filled with juice rather quickly as you move from one piece of fruit to the next.
Another feature I like with this juicer is its operation. There is no on/off switch and many consumers will find this unusual at first. But this is really for the better because with an on/off switch, you have to continuously flip the switch off and back on as you go from one piece of fruit to the next. The way this juicer is designed, there is no worry about messing with a switch. The juicer starts up when a piece of fruit is pressed against the reamer and stops when it is taken away.
Pulp is always an issue with any juicer, and while there is no pulp extractor, this juicer still has you covered. It collects the pulp and seeds in the strainer as you juice your fruit. When you are finished, you can scoop out the amount of pulp you like and add it to the juice itself. Or, if you don't like pulp, you can discard it and drink your juice pulp- free. This might seem a little on the manual side to some consumers, but the lack of special pulp extractors helps keep the device simple and trouble- free.
Fresh- squeezed juice is healthy and makes ordinary beverages taste even better than before. With Citrusmate, consumers have a means to extract juice without overspending on a juicer that contains more features than necessary. It's a surprisingly good small appliance and certainly an excellent value for the money.
Great Gadget! July 22, 2010
Marcia Sanchez (Cleveland, OH, US)
I am so happy I bought this citrus juicer! It certainly makes short work of having to juice a bunch lemons & limes! So far, I have no complaints. It does a great job. It's very easy to clean and store. And - the price is right! It's well worth every penny!
 good juicer but handle broke July 16, 2010
R. Delaney (California)
The juicer works very well at extracting juice from oranges lemon and limes (haven't tried it with grapefruit). The handle is the weak point. Mine broke while I was drying it with a towel. I didn't feel like I was putting all that much pressure on it. Now I need a new carafe. The lid is kinda useless unless you are storing it for an extended time. It needs time to dry out between uses; the lid would make that difficult and promote the growth of mold/mildew. You can put the carafe and reamers in the dishwasher but you will have to wash the strainer part by hand. The larger reamer fits over the smaller one and that seems to work well. The largest opening was letting small seeds in the orange into the juice. The middle setting keeps that from happening and is fine with me. Good juicer except for the handle. I juice oranges about 10 everyday. It doesn't seem to have much problem with them. I agree with other posters that say that it is easy to juice. The raised ridges on the reamers do a good job on the oranges with little effort.
 Reviews made this sound great July 14, 2010

The first week we had it, we loved this juicer and made several containers of OJ. Around week 3-4, the motor started clicking and slipping when we pushed down hard, so we stopped pushing hard. Keep in mind that when I say "hard" I mean about 10 lbs of force with one hand, less than you would use for a manual juicer.
Long story short, after another week the clicking got worse, and we had to use progressively less and less force. Now it is so flimsy it doesn't work well at all, and to get it to work (I kid you not) I have to use earplugs because the clicking is so loud. The machine is light plastic and inexpensive, so I can't really say I'm surprised. I have to imagine that most of these other reviewers wrote their reviews in the first few weeks of use when it worked great.
If you juice oranges a few times a month, then this juicer is for you. If you want regular juice, then I would recommend another brand/model.
Little Power House Juicer - No Mess Left July 14, 2010
Bruce Davis (Walpole, NH)

Before ordering a juicer, I was concerned that the juices may fly out and hit my shirt and walls.
I am happy to report that never a splatter of juice has occurred (and I do not use the cover), after making 10 gallons of lemonade and a pitcher of orange juice.
I use to squeeze the lemons carefully by hand (and with love). This juicer is increasing the juice output by 2/3rds over hand squeezing.
I find that this operates very quickly, with no mess, and is easy to clean in the dishwasher.
I highly recommend this juicer, it will allow you to quickly make healthy fruit drinks.
