Cuisinart CJE-500 Compact Juice Extractor Black, 11.5 x 11.8 x 14.2 Inch

I love this juicer. I’ve tried so many different juicers, from cheap (break, jam, flimsy parts) to expensive (too big, too many parts and hassle to clean), and the slow masticating ones. FYI - If you have ADD/ADHD don’t even think about the slow masticating ones, the waiting is torture, it’s like watching paint dry. I was ready to start beating the thing to get it to go faster, lol. And if you get more nutrients out of the slow ones than the centrifugal ones, it doesn’t matter if it’s too much of a pain to use. I’d rather get a few fewer nutrients and get it done fast! No, it doesn’t squeeze every last drop out of the pulp and I really don’t care. Because of how fast and easy this juicer is, I use it all the time. And I think the juice quality is great! And it’s pretty easy to clean. As easy as possible given the quality. I’ve had cheaper ones that were easier to clean but negligible quality. This one has the quality of the very expensive juicers, and it’s priced well, and small! I have a tiny kitchen and this one neatly fits under my cabinets and doesn’t take up much space. It works fast, easy to clean and basically the best of all worlds in one! I used to tease my mom because she’s sort of obsessed with the Cuisinart brand. To the point it was almost a deterrent for me, because I’m tired of hearing about Cuisinart my entire life, lol. But I have to say the brand lived up to my mom’s raves with the case of this juicer. I am so happy with it - my favorite one of all the juicers I’ve ever had, hands down.

Cuisinart's juicer compact juice extractor didn't come up initially in my Amazon search. I read the reviews of several other manufacturers, focusing on the 1 & 2- star reviews. Have learned from past experience this is where you learn about the real issues you can encounter with a product. All of the popular suggestions had red flags: Loud, hard to clean, didn't extract as much juice as expected, etc. I expanded my review search & found Best Reviews of the top 5 extractors for 2021. (http://bestreviews.com/best-juicers). These included Omega, Breville, Mueller, and Nutri Bullet. Cuisinart was by far the best price/value, with the fewest Cons. It doesn't disappoint. The unit is very solid. Doesn't take up a huge footprint. Super easy to use & fairly quiet. Plus, a breeze to disassemble for fast cleaning. They provide a small brush to clean the screen with & it works perfectly. Above picture is juice from a single large Navel orange. It gave me twice the juice (Photo on left) I usually get from the cheap unit I've been using. (That's great savings in itself! However, I didn't trim any of the rind & there was a rind taste in juice. So, I trimmed another orange to see the difference. Huge! Flavor is much better, and as you can see in photo on the right, still a lot of juice from a single orange. There is very little pulp in the juice, if any at all. The tube you feed fruit/vegetables in is quite wide. For a large orange, I quartered it. They, also, provide a nice recipe booklet with juicing ideas for all sorts of fruit & vegetable, even some with alcohol. Delivery was fast. Ordered Sunday. Arrived Tuesday afternoon. If you're looking for a great juicer that doesn't break the bank & outperforms others, you should check it out. I don't have a negative thing to say about it.

High recommend though I gave this a four only because the catch for pulp is smaller than I would like. The result is stopping to clean the pulp out several times during a big juice session. Unit is quiet and strong and will squeeze down multiple carrorts in one push. Just writing this makes me want to go juice - I think I will. For the price, high recommend.

I needed a juice extractor for a detox diet. After browsing on many models, I found that every single one has lovers and haters. The main complaints I saw in other brands were related to difficulty to clean the machine and durability. Reliability is important to me but also, I was avoiding a noisy and bulky machine. I used this one to prepare 40 ounces of carrot juice every day for a detox. It was not hard to clean, it wasn't noisy, and it worked as it should. I love this machine. I have continued to create new varieties of juices for breakfast. The only caveat is that because of the compact design the pulp container in the back (40oz for solid waste) fills up after you extract 16oz on the juice pitcher. So, if you just want 8 - 16oz of juice you don't need to pay attention to the pulp container. But in my case, since I wanted to prepare at once 40oz I was extracting juice our of 5 pounds of carrots (it's a lot!) and I had to stop from time to time to empty the pulp container before is too full (it gets messy if you forget about it). But for a couple of glasses of juice, this is a compact, reliable and efficient juice extractor that I can recommend to my friends. Love it!

Over the years I have had all types of juicers. Everything from cheapie centrifugal juicers to the masticating juicers that are pretty pricey. I decided to get this particular juicer because it fit my needs at this point in my life. Let me explain. Masticating juicers will always be the best, in my opinion. They take the produce and slowly chew it up and extract just about every particle of juice that could be extracted. I did not choose one this time because, even though they are cheaper than they used to be, there are still a few drawbacks. One, they take forever to make juice. In addition, they are more difficult to clean, and you absolutely must cut up your produce to fit them into the small feed chutes. If the quality of the juice is worth it for you, then I can highly recommend them. Centrifugal juicers are louder, generally cheaper, and get your juice to you in a hurry. You don't have to wait, they're easy to take apart, and pretty easy to clean compared to the masticating juicers. That being said, with a centrifugal juicer your pulp will be somewhat wetter, and you will always have some unjuiced items such as apple peels that may not get thoroughly ground up into juice. I chose this particular machine because it fits in my kitchen. Even though I'm retired, I'm very busy, and I really don't have time to play with a fiddly juicer. This is easy to clean, quieter than I expected it to be, and, as I said, it fits on my small countertop. Plus it's a Cuisinart. It matches my food processor! And while I have found the occasional errant apple peel, the pulp is drier than I expected. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this machine and so far I would buy it again.

I love Cuisinart products. They are the best. I ordered a juicer for my granddaughter for Christmas. When I received it the box was ripped apart in all different sides of the box. It was awful. I returned it. Since the box was damaged so badly I didn't want to take the chance and order another one and the same thing happen. Then the policy is that if the box is ripped or damaged you will get a restocking fee. So now I have to be concerned if I will get full credit plus the insurance I took on it. I can't believe someone would send a product to a customer like that.

I bought this juicer in January 2013 and I love it. I use it about twice a day, if not it is used once a day. It's probably not the most powerful juicer but I think for the price, it does a good job. I have owned 2 other juicers before when I was living in Ireland and they were bigger, so I couldn't leave them on the counter. So what happened is that with time the juicer would stay in the cupboard because I felt it was just too much fuss to take it out. So this time, I wanted a compact juicer that could stay on the counter and it does. It is easy to operate, to clean and you can juice pretty much anything you want. Some people have said you can't juice green leafy veggies but this is not true. What you have to do, is juice a carrot for example, then your green leafy veggies following by a juicy vegetable like celery, pepper etc.. that way, the juice of the greens will go down with the juice of the more juicy veggies. I juice kale, chards without problem. Maybe it does make more pulp than a professional type juicer but I think if you are new to juicing $100 on this juicer is fine. I wasn't willing to pay more for a juicer. I do recommend this item. My children love fresh fruit juices.

Nice machine but hardly compact! Same size as my old one.

Faz muito barulho, suja a cozinha e agora em menos de um ano parou de funcionar e mesmo com garantia extendida nem a Cuisinard e nem a garantia extendida funcionam!

We did try the extractor this morning and it is fantastique Working perfectly

Estoy muy contenta con la adquisición de este producto, ha facilitado mucho la transformación de mi alimentación. Es muy fácil de usar, limpiar, me permite retirar el bagazo facilmente y el cepillo incluido ha sido muy útil. El motor ha sido potente y me ha funcionado perfecto para diferentes frutas y verduras como zanahoria, apios, vetabel, manzanas, naranjas, toronjas, lechuga, etc.
