I had previously owned a Black and Decker juicer, but the motor quit working. I then tried the juicing attachment for the KitchenAid, but I didn't like it. When looking for a replacement, I focused on juicers with positive user feedback. The Courant juicer was one of the highest-rated ones and has adjustable pulp settings, which is important to me. I don't understand why some juicers only have one filter setting. The Courant juicer looks cool and is smaller than the Black & Decker, but the base is light, so I'm worried about the motor's durability. The reamer's reverse rotation may be useful, but it does a great job of extracting juice even with a single direction spin. I like lots of pulp, so I only use the widest filter setting, which works well on its own. The special spin feature to extract more juice from the pulp is a mixed bag and requires some effort to prevent making a mess. Overall, I give the Courant juicer 5 stars, hoping that the motor lasts a long time.

This juicer is fantastic for juicing limes for mixed drinks. It's much better than using a citrus reamer, as it has an auto reverse feature and a selectable pulp control feature. It's also easy to clean and has a high-speed setting to get all the juice out. The only downside is that it's a bit big, but overall it's a great product at a great price. I've been able to make delicious mojitos all summer with it.

I was tired of using a manual juicer so I decided to get an electronic one. This juicer works well, extracting all the juice from citrus fruits. The final spin feature is a bit gimmicky but it's okay. It requires some effort to use, but it's manageable for most people. It can juice all sizes of citrus fruits and holds up well. Cleaning the plastic parts can be a bit tricky, especially the strainer area. However, overall I like it and it seems to be well-designed. The only concern is the motor having to work hard, but so far it's holding up. I would recommend it and think the extra money for this unit was worth it.

I love using fresh lime juice for my margaritas, but hand squeezing limes can be a hassle, especially since I can't get tree ripened limes here in DC. So, I ordered a juicer expecting it to be smaller, but it showed up in a huge box. Despite my initial disappointment, it works really well. The motor is powerful and the pulp scraper turns easily. I like that it often rotates in the other direction when I stop and restart. You can adjust the openings to control the amount of pulp that gets through and the spout can be lifted to cut off the flow of juice. The top section comes apart for easy cleaning, although the area where the on/off valve is located is hard to clean. My only issue is the size - it's too big, especially for limes. But I guess the powerful motor requires some size. Overall, I'm pleased with it, but I would really love a juicer like the ones I've seen in Europe, where you can just throw the limes in and it does everything for you.
