Bulbs & Fittings Ideas

The first thing you should keep in mind is that it is one of the lowest price juice extractors out there. It’s true that it has a small feed chute and that does mean that you have to cut up your veggies and take your time. The negative criticisms about this machine not being good for “continuous feed” and making too much pulp are most likely the result of trying to jam too much into it at one time. It even says in the owner’s manual that if you are making carrot juice, put in only one piece at a time and go slowly. I cut my pieces so that the weight of the plunger is usually enough to push them through and I get great results. You just have to take your time and realize that this is a low-cost machine made for fairly light use, and you will enjoy it. Also keep in mind that if you clean it immediately, everything pretty much rinses off except the basket, which usually requires some help from a sponge. If you are in a hurry or plan to be a heavy user, spend more money and get a heavy-duty machine, but I find it to be fine for my occasional home use.

I wanted a new juicer, tried two Juiceman models and juice yield wasn’t impressive and pulp a little too damp. I saw this one at Walmart and I thought “no way could a juicer be great.” I was wrong. It’s more compact and I’m all for pulp-extraction but not if it’s from an oversized container sitting on the back of it. If you’re just making juice for one to a few people at once, you don’t need it. This one has the right sized container and just rests within the body of the machine. It gets better: Because the feed chute ends very close to the cutting blade (a problem many juicer models need to correct) it doesn’t waste chunks of produce. The pulp is drier than about 7 other juices I’ve owned or tried. I’ve been using it 1x/day for 2 months now. I still cannot believe this cheap juicer outperforms so many others. The only con is the feed chute is small so I’m cutting thicker parts of carrots in half, apples smaller, etc. No complaint as I’m usually just juicing for myself. Small sacrifice for a compact, quieter juicer. Other tip: clean the screen cold water gentle via a soft or baby toothbrush then store the brush inside the clean pulp extracttion cup if you want. Enjoy!

Love! Love! Love this juicer! I just did a week straight of just juicing. I was making about 4-6 juices a day and this machine worked like a champ. I juiced all kinds of things from carrots to apples, kale to sweet potato. Now yes the pulp contains a little more juice than I would like but I just let it sit in a strainer when I was done so get the rest of the liquid. I did over load the chute on kale once which made it shut off but I really packed it in and as soon as I took some out, it went back to juicing like a dream. Seriously worth the money if you are not sure how much/how long you will be juicing. I’m about to do a 15 day fast and will update at the end to let you know how the juicer held up. I do however wish the juice cup was bigger. I don’t really use the one that came with it.

Ps: Small tip: When juicing a leafy green like kale or spinach roll them up like a cigar. It helps get the most juice out of the leaves. Happy juicing!

Update: Little guy is still juicing a year later. Would diffidently recommend for the cheap health nut. (3 years later and I just bought a new juicer, although this one still works just fine)
