Cuisinart - Compact Juice Extractor - Black/Stainless-Steel

I was looking for an affordable juicer. Usually that means giving up valuable features. This juicer has more than the average for it's price range. I like the large pulp bin. That means you can juice quite a bit without having to stop and empty the thing. There is a valve to close the flow of juice so you can stop and empty the juice into another container if you're making large batches. The pulp that is leftover is usually fairly dry, which is the sign of an efficient machine that makes the most out of your costly produce. I usually re-run the pulp and get a little more, but it depends on what I'm putting in the machine. Most of the time, one run is enough. This machine disassembles down to just the base, so it is fairly easy to clean, whether by hand or in the dishwasher, but keep in mind juicing is a time consuming and messy process. If you are on some program and need lots of juice frequently, or want to quickly grab some on the way out in the morning, I highly recommend juicing the night before....

I am a 30 year old Male. I got this juicer as a present from my Mom for Christmas. She gave me the cash and I had to shop for it. I did my homework but I could not choose what to get. I went to different Stores but could not get enough info. One of my good friends got one that was very messy and then another one which was better but not as good as this CJE-500. So after witnessing my buddies struggles I decided to get this one. I had never juiced before. This juicer comes with a handy recipe booklet with a bunch of recipes. After washing all of the components before use. I was ready to make an apple juice. 3 apples made a really nice juice. Enough for my wife and I. I was able to clean the juicer quickly. I really like it. We are excited to juice. I think this is a great product. I hope it will last long time.

Best Buy honored the online price match and I have had positive experiences with the Cuisinart brand, so I went for it. This is my first juicer. I am pleased at how fast and easy the Cuisinart is to use. I find myself using it much more frequently than I imagined I would, which is good, considering the amount of counter space any new appliance takes. The motor seems powerful and the unit is sturdy, even though many of the components are plastic. I've juiced pears, apples, ginger and carrots so fair without taxing the device. Immediately after each use, I recommend rinsing the parts, containers, etc. before the rendered pulp dries. (Remember to compose the pulp!) Even if you forget to rinse the parts right away, you can soak them clean later. Everything is removable from the motor base.

We have a big juicer for our home and love it. It is also a Cusinart. This one is a compact one. We were looking for a smaller version of our big juicer so we could take it with us and use it in our RV. This one has certainly fit the bill. It is easy to clean up, just remember to put a plastic bag in the collection tank for the pulp, and it's even easier. It seems to juice the fruit quickly, but you have to put the plunger in quickly otherwise the fruit may come flying back out (this only happened once). It has a strong motor. You will not be dissapointed if you buy this.

Well I Reviewed after using once..cant find post to update..hopper good size..no need to pre cut except large apples. Good dry pulp no need to re-juice. PROBLEM AFTER 2 DAYS.. machine kept jogging loose..power goes off..have to open and re-adjust. It would go back on and then off like it popped a breaker. Cleaning is no more a pain than washing a pan and dishes. Maybe this unit is faulty but not gonna try again. Ill stick with my 1991 JUICEMAN!!! I may have to pre-cut..but at least it juices!!

I have been wanting to purchase a juicer for many years, but was always afraid of having a lot of mess to clean up when I am done. Also, the fear of not wanting to reassemble too many things after using it. My wife and I had serious consultation with two of the customer service representatives on duty on the day of purchase. We asked several questions before we made up our mind. It is like we were going purchase a home. I am glad we chose this juicer. Absolutely no regrets and we are both loving it.

On October 4, 2015 I purchased my CJE-500 Series Cuisinart Compact Juicier CJE-500 Series. I am "THRILLED" with this juicer. As I had tried 2 other juicers by other manufactures. User friendly, easy clean up, pleasant to the ears , size fits under my counter, excellent cleaning brush. I do not do customer reviews unless I am a "happy camper".

This is really a good juicer and worth having for a healthy living. However, the one aspect I did not like with it is that it has too many parts to be disassembled after every use, clean them and assemble them back for next use. e.g., If I spend 5 minutes in making juice, I spend 15 minutes for disassembling, cleaning and re-assembling. Still I gave it 5 stars because it is really a very useful kitchen gadget in my home.
