Why it moves around.

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019

I bought this strictly for juicing celery and it's my first extractor. I was concerned about the negative comments regarding it's "moving all around the counter." When I first used it, this thing purred like a kitten and got the job done. After about 3 uses, and midway through my celery run, I noticed the celery had a hard time going down and had to be persuaded by heavy pressure on the plunger Then it started the notorious "dancing" around the counter. I discovered the reason why and the solution. The strainer has small micro blades. When they become clogged they stop cutting. When they stop cutting and more pressure is applied, the strainer is no longer seated properly on the base, so it is off kilter and commences wobbling. What I did was I looked down the chute, I saw the clogged blades, unplugged it, took out the strainer rinsed it off and properly seated it on the base. Problem solved. Works like new...again. So don't apply undue pressure, don't force it and if you're cutting really coarse items, check the blades periodically and clean them as necessary. It now works perfectly fine and fast.

Okay for a novice juicer

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2019

If you are looking to get a juicer for some serious daily juicing or multiple times a day then this one probably isnt for you. I had a breville before but the pulp container wasnt large enough and decided to get this to save money. If I could of I would have gotten a more expensive one.

Pros:
Has some cool features like the scrub brush that forms to the spinner nicely
Large container for pulp
The measuring cup has a lid to prevent splatter and when you pour will filter out foam. Just wish this lid latched on for when you are pouring

Cons
Moves around the counter, which made for a huge mess my first time
Isnt as powerful as others. You definitely need some muscle for the harder veggies. And it leaves larger pieces behind.

My bottom line: If you are looking for a powerful juicer to use daily and can afford a few extra bucks Id go with something else.

It's nice but gosh, LOUD

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2021

Style: Holds 30 oz. - 700W MotorVerified Purchase

we use it almost everyday since we purchased it on blackfriday. I mean, it's fabulous and nice but if you care for noise, this is not for you. IT IS LOUD to the point where my husband puts earplug and gives me the warning sign before he runs it.
Pros: easy to clean + like the extra brush they included, like the warranty, easy to use, dish-washer safe, liked to pricing on blackfriday
Cons: LOUD but that's it

Plus and minus for this Juicer

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2021

Style: Holds 40 oz. - 850W MotorVerified Purchase

The juicer cleans very easily and the brush they supply with it makes it clean that much easier. It also gives more juice then froth,which is great. Assembly was easy as well. For me the downside is its very loud and you have to stop after trying to juice a couple fruits to clean the basket with the blades so you can use it again. If you don't then it starts to wobble and get even louder and start walking on the counter. I also don't like that some things don't juice and go straight to bucket of leftovers. I wasn't happy you don't get much out of the fruits and it takes so much to get what you want and having to stop in-between to clean the machine was a deal breaker. I was disappointed and was hoping to like this.

Not so easy to clean

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2022

Style: Holds 40 oz. - 850W MotorVerified Purchase

The amount of pulp in the pulp container was equal to the amount of pulp in the lid and strainer bowl. Spent some time scrapping. all the excess pulp from parts which were supposedly pulp free. Wife didn't like it although juice was good. Too much cleanup. Update...just did 6 small apples...spent 1/2 hour cleaning pulp which was EVERYWHERE!! Pain in the butt. Only good thing to say was juice was delicious.

Not the Worst in the World

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2018

Style: Holds 40 oz. - 850W MotorVerified Purchase

I bought this juicer in June. It worked fine until Aug-Sep, when the control knob mechanism broke and I've had to operate the unit by plugging and unplugging it from the wall. The really frustrating thing though is the difficulty in getting the lid to snap into place properly. I'm having to fiddle around with it for five minutes before it clicks into place easy as pie, like "what's the problem?" Many times I've skipped juicing altogether because I couldn't face fiddling around with that stupid lid. When the time comes to replace it, I will select another brand.

Not good for apples

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2020

Style: Holds 40 oz. - 850W MotorVerified Purchase

This machine does not extract juice from apples well at all. All the other veggies had dry pulp but the organic green apple pulp was very watery and mushy. And only a tiny bit of juice for 5 apples! Otherwise it would’ve been a good buy. Returned it already. Can’t afford to waste organic apple juice going in the trash with the pulp

Very Wet Pulp

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2021

Style: Holds 40 oz. - 850W MotorVerified Purchase

This juicer makes juice, but the leftover pulp is VERY wet. Also, I often find big chunks of fruit/veg that somehow bypassed the juicing process and got flung into the pulp reservoir. I used a really cheap juicer prior to this one and that one had much drier, less chunky pulp - i.e. extracted more juice.

Juicer died in little over a month

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021

Style: Holds 40 oz. - 850W MotorVerified Purchase

It does give better quality juice but moves around a lot once the machine is on. I had to hold the juicer each time. The juicer died in little over a month from purchase and is super noisy. I used to have a sharper image juicer which has a lifetime warranty on the machine. It still works and I have been using it for 10 years now. The top cover broke so I purchased this Hamilton beach juicer. Disappointed with how quickly it stopped working.
