For the occasional glass, this one is good enough for me.
By A. Ryan
There are a lot of people who don't necessarily want another large, heavy appliance taking up valuable counter/storage space. Sometimes these same people want fresh-squeezed orange or grapefruit juice to go with their breakfast, but not necessarily every day. This Black and Decker Handy Juicer is made just for the likes of me.It couldn't be simpler - fit the pointy white juice reamer piece on top of the plastic pitcher, on top of the motor base, then press down your halved citrus or pomegranate. It runs (reasonably)quietly and does its job of grinding the juicy pulp down to the peel with only small effort on the part of an actual human arm.If you are impressed with a juicer that looks like a stainless steel rocket ship get Cuisinart's version at about three times the price. If you're a dyed in the wool fanatic juice enthusiast that has to have fresh juice every morning for your family and yourself you might consider investing in something more industrial quality, such as Kitchenaid's juicing attachment that goes with their stand mixer. If you want a manual juicer get the Mighty OJ. But if you just need a glass of freshly extracted citrus now and again, without a lot of storage space, effort or investment, the B&D Handy Juicer can't be beat.-Andrea, aka Merribelle

49 Lemons, Then It Broke
By Bruce E. Layne
I used this juicer 1.6 times. I squeezed a total of 49 lemons before it shed a plastic tooth from a plastic gear needed for clockwise rotation. Two lemons later it shed a tooth used for counter clockwise rotation. I unplugged it and tried to use it as a manual juicer for a couple of lemons, but it doesn't work very well in manual mode, so I reluctantly tossed it in the trash.Even when it was new, the juicing mechanism seemed fragile and the tiny motor was too weak, so the squeezing was slow. Plan on two minutes to squeeze a lemon (two halves). But I guess the motor was powerful enough to quickly strip the teeth off the plastic gears.It's a shame, because the plastic bowl and other large plastic parts were very nicely designed and nicely made. If Black & Decker put a beefier drive mechanism in there and charged half again as much, they'd have a nice product.In short, if you only want to juice one citrus fruit, a manual juicer is easier and requires less kitchen storage space. If you want to squeeze more than a few citrus fruits, this juicer won't last very long. I'm not sure there is a good application for a juicer like this. Maybe it would be a good gift for someone you don't really like.I have a monster KitchenAid stand mixer. I'm going to get the juicer attachment for it. With the heavy duty KitchenAid quality, it'll probably juice a brick.

Black & Decker HJ28 Handy Juicer
By Jerry Mesley
I ordered 2 HJ28 citrus Handy Juicers and I received one of it and another of a different number and I have not tried it out yet and don't know how I will like it. I was told that you had two in the number I ordered. do you just give another product without notification?
