Why
Both testers found it the fastest electric citrus juicer they tested. America's Test Kitchen's winner "pressed citrus of all sizes smoothly and effortlessly at an impressive speed," and Reviewed found it "was the fastest juicer in the group and it had the best overall juice yield." Reviewed still didn't make it a top pick: "this juice presser is overkill if you're just trying to squeeze a single lemon to cook with." ATK's Best Buy, the Dash Dual, matched the Breville for performance and "produced just as much juice" for a small fraction of the price; it's just slower and you press by hand. Splurge if you juice oranges every morning or by the pitcher; save if you juice a few lemons and limes at a time.

Dual Citrus Juicer, White
From 1 tester: America's Test Kitchen
From 1 tester: America's Test Kitchen
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.

From 1 tester: America's Test Kitchen
The testers split on this one. Reviewed recommends it for big batches of orange juice: "We detected almost no bitterness in the orange juice," and it listed no cons. America's Test Kitchen rated it Recommended with reservations, lower than the Breville for performance and ease of use: "Our biggest gripe with this juicer was that it was extremely loud." Both liked the roomy carafe. The listing doesn't state a warranty.
