Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro Juice Extractor - Silver, Black

I have had it for about 2 weeks, and I have used it almost everyday. My biggest worry was that cleaning it would be a huge pain, but it is really super easy, and only takes about 4 or 5 minutes. It is really powerful, and does a TON of veg very quickly, and makes a ton of juice with only a moderate amount of pulp. This is my first and only juicer, so to be fair, I have nothing to compare it with, but I am EXTREMELY happy with my purchase.

Purchased this juicer to do a 15 day detox from the reboot with joe website. With as many times as I had to use it in a day, it was amazing!! Did the job and did it well. Lots of juice and minimal pulp. The clean up is a little tedious on it, but, it is to be expected. The advice of putting the plastic bag in the pulp catcher is great, you don't have to clean that canister out. But the rest of the machine needs to be cleaned. The juice cup that comes with it cannot hold the amount of juice I was making at one time, so I used a 4 cup glass measuring cup instead and it worked great! Perfect machine for anyone who is looking to make juice for weight loss, detox, or just fresh morning juice!

I have used now for a few weeks and is my first juicer, but I like how easy it is to assemble and clean. a tip I received was to juice in a selection of soft, hard, soft, hard items, that way the harder items help wipe away the soft ones. Another thing is to wrap the smaller leafed up with a bigger leafed item - it seems to help with the process. Happy Juicing and stay healthy!

Bought this one to replace its predecessor who succumbed to "plastic fatigue" after 5 yrs of heavy use. You can feel the extra power in this model which has 800 watts. With a family of 5, we juice 1-2 times daily. It's a fast and effective way to encourage us to consume lots of fruits and vegetables, especially for the teens who don't seem to like anything;) Although the manual says you can put the pieces in the dishwasher, I hand rince with hot water immediately after juicing and put them on a towel to dry. Juicing helps us reduce waste; a handful of unattractive strawberries may not work for pancakes, but throw them in the juicer with some apples, kaki, and an orange, and it doesn't go to waste. The pulp goes into our composter which makes excellent compost as it is so fine with no chunks. My wife says her skin is improved, I just need a fast way to consume minerals without sitting down to chew large quantities of fruit/veg. Excellent investment. PS: Block that funny little air vent with scotch tape to prevent decorating the kitchen backsplash!

This juice extractor says it can handle whole fruits. We put it to the test right away. We had some large apples that didn't fit but other than that it handled pretty much everything we tried. Feeding spinach into the large opening was also much easier.

I purchased this juicer to produce high alkaline juice from fruits and vegetables to help fight my bladder cancer and diabetes. The shortcoming is that it separates the juice from the pulp, roughage, skin, fibers, etc...all things that I need in my diet. I have gone back to using a blender to produce a slurry of fruits and vegetables which contains the solid that I need. There is nothing wrong with the juicer if all you want is juice and I would recommend it highly for that purpose.

This juicer is a wonderful product in its price range. It is long-lasting and has stood up to daily use for over one year now. There is a small amount of juice that still remains in the pulp but this is minimal and expected. The juicer works well with a variety of fruits and vegetables. Small pieces of these don't work as well though; stick with the larger chunks for best results. Clean-up is mostly easy but you will need to spend time cleaning the straining basket with the brush provided. Also, if you want to keep your unit free from long-term plaque accumulation, be sure to use sponges and soap after use. I am thankful that Hamilton Beach offers such an affordable and lasting workhorse and would purchase again.

This is the first juicer I've owned & ive had it for about a week. I've been juicing 2-3x a day. I wish the plunger didn't have a groove that has to be matched to go down because sometimes it's not lined up & food flies out & is messy. I also feel like most of the pulp gets clogged up on the top instead of ending up in the base. You have to clean it after every use so be ready to be doing dishes often. It's easy to assemble & seems to juice well for the most part. I can see myself buying a higher end one in the future if I keep it up.

Cutting up your produce into smaller pieces say to 1/2 1/3 or1/4 their original size diminishes the stress on the strainer hardware. Using a plastic bag for the large pulp receptacle is a must for easier cleanup. Have soapy warm water ready and waiting to swish all dismantled parts except for the motorized base. Never submerge this base! Cleaning the strainer with its soft brush is easy. Gentle scrubbing with alternating submerging the strainer in the soapy water then rinsing will clean it nicely. You could air dry the strainer but I lightly press a paper towel on the strainer mesh to soak up any excess moisture to prevent any possibility of rust. Make sure all other parts are dry then reassemble with a paper towel in the pulp receptacle, a paper towel in the strainer and lastly a paper towel in the juice collection container. I always cover the juicer with a large plastic bag to keep it dust free and ready for my next juicing adventure. The sound is no noisier than a regular blender. I am happy with my purchase.

During the first week this juicer was everything my daugter hoped it to be, but then it seemed to have more in the waste container than her glass. She returned it and was told that they had heard that complaint before. The girl in customer service was super nice which made the whole return process easy.
