Main trade-off
Nama J2
The 17.7-inch height excludes a 17-inch shelf before opening the hopper.
Head-to-head
Nama J2 vs J3: J3 suits daily cupboard storage, J2 fits larger prepared counter batches
The short answer
Choose the J3 when the juicer must go back into a cupboard after each use. Choose the J2 when it can stay on the counter and larger prepared recipes are a regular part of your routine.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
A low cupboard changes the answer
For a renter with a shared counter and a 17-inch shelf, the J3 clears the closed-height limit and weighs less to lift. The J2 is 0.7 inches taller than that shelf, so its larger batch format will not help if it has to live elsewhere.
What this is based on
17 minus 15.4 = 1.6 inches of closed-height allowance for J3. J2 height is 17.7 inches. Open-lid clearance is not included.
Main trade-off
Nama J3
The smaller format can mean more loading during a larger recipe.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
A low cupboard changes the answer
For a renter with a shared counter and a 17-inch shelf, the J3 clears the closed-height limit and weighs less to lift. The J2 is 0.7 inches taller than that shelf, so its larger batch format will not help if it has to live elsewhere.
How we reached this conclusion
17 minus 15.4 = 1.6 inches of closed-height allowance for J3. J2 height is 17.7 inches. Open-lid clearance is not included.
Count the whole counter station
The J3 body rectangle is about 34% smaller than the J2 rectangle. That can free useful space beside a cutting board, but the juice and pulp containers still need somewhere to sit. Measure the assembled station before deciding.
How we reached this conclusion
J2 rectangle 9.8 × 9 = 88.2 square inches. J3 8.9 × 6.5 = 57.85. Reduction is 34.4%. This is a bounding rectangle, not an operating footprint.
Put-away routines multiply the weight difference
The J3 is 2.4 lb lighter, roughly 20% below the J2. That becomes relevant when you lift it out and put it away every morning. If both remain on the counter, this advantage becomes much less important and batch size can lead the decision.
How we reached this conclusion
12.1 minus 9.7 = 2.4 lb. 2.4 divided by 12.1 = 19.8%. Comfort and grip were not tested.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Nama J2 | Nama J3 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assembled height | 17.7 inches | 15.4 inches | A 17-inch shelf rules out the assembled J2, while the J3 leaves 1.6 inches before handling clearance. |
| Listed body rectangle | 9.8 by 9 inches | 8.9 by 6.5 inches | The J3 reduces the body rectangle, though both need separate room for collection containers. |
| Weight with chamber | 12.1 lb | 9.7 lb | The smaller model removes 2.4 lb from each lift. |
| Ingredient loading | Self-feeding hopper | Self-feeding hopper | Both support loading prepared ingredients together, so compact size does not force individual chute feeding. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Nama J2
- Hopper loading is not a fixed juice-yield promise.
If you choose Nama J3
- Measure the open lid and your storage route, not only the closed appliance.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
You leave the juicer assembled on the counter
Choose Nama J2. A permanent station makes the J2 height and extra 2.4 lb less inconvenient.
Your storage shelf is only 17 inches high
Choose Nama J3. J3 is 15.4 inches high and 9.7 lb, so it clears the stated shelf and reduces the lift.
You need a guaranteed amount of finished juice from every hopper load
Choose neither. Neither product sheet turns ingredient volume into a fixed recipe yield.
What matters in practice
Before you choose
What this comparison cannot tell you
