What the testers found
America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy. ATK tested the aqua version (JB065AQ); this is the same juicer in white. "This inexpensive and lightweight juicer did an excellent job juicing all sizes of citrus fruit." It "took a couple of minutes longer to juice lemons but it was easy to use and produced just as much juice." You press the fruit down by hand instead of pulling a lever, and its double strainer can clog with pulp. It weighs under 2 pounds and the listing doesn't state a warranty.
