Cuisinart CCJ-500P1 Pulp Control Citrus Juicer, 1, Black/Stainless

Compact, quiet, efficient, easy to use and cleaning is a breeze. More power than I expected with a great price! Love it!!

Great value for the price. After searching for weeks for a quality juicer and getting scared away by problems with more expensive juicers, I thought I'd try the cheaper one. I've had it more than a month with no issues.There are 3 parts to clean so it's super easy and quick. The only downside I've found is the amount of pulp. The instructions show 3 different slot parts to control how much pulp you want (I want none) but only one is included and this one allows pulp to go through and into the glass. You have to search and purchase the part that stops all pulp, which I haven't done because I'm bust and lazy. I've learned to live with the pulp though because fresh squeezed orange juice is so good.It's also nice that you can hold the spout up and choose to squeeze juice with out it pouring into the glass at the same time - at first I thought it didn't work bc no juice was coming out!If it lasts, then it's a great value. I'll update if it doesn't hold up over the months.

Very reasonable price for an electric reamer. I've tried presses in this $25 price range and of course manual reamers and those don't extract all the juice. The electric reamer does a great job of getting all the juice and most pulp out of the orange, and then the spin cycle gets most of the juice out of the pulp. (Don't leave the orange peel in there while running that.) Wasn't sure about that feature when I saw it but I'm sold on it now. Clean up is just about as easy as any when you're dealing with juice. I did have a few drops fly onto the counter while extracting. On my first good sized navel orange I got almost 2/3 of a cup. From a smaller than normal Cara Cara I got a 1/2 cup.Pros:-Gets far more juice out than any other I've tried. (A vegetable juicer obviously could get the most but that's not what I want for OJ)Spin cycle really works-Clean up fairly easy. Every piece just lifts straight off the motor base. The sieve has 3 positions for high/med/low pulp and a full quarter turn separates the two parts for rinsing off.-Doesn't take long. Certainly nothing faster than a good lever press, but the cheap one I bought from BB&B didn't do a good job of extracting.Cons:-None other than how long will it last? Reviews of similar machines have stories of the plastic teeth wearing out. This one just has a long hexagonal shaft that should last. Electric motors burn out when they aren't able to spin at full speed. It's strong when geared down for reaming so that's not likely. When the spin cycle is going it won't have the same torque so that's why I don't think you should do the high speed with the rind inside. If large enough it could jam against the clear plastic lid and restrict the motor.-You do have to watch that you don't ream too much and go into the rind.This manual squeezer is decent (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006LMVLKO/), but I will be using my electric Cuisinart from now on.

I like it, and it works better than what i had before. the coffee tastes better than before.

This works surprisingly well. It extracts a lot of juice and is easy to clean. I bought it due to breaking my wrist and only having the use of one hand and it is very easy to use with one hand. This is a great product!

Having quickly grown tired of the plastic manual juicer thing I bought at the store, I thought I'd see about getting something electronic.This juicer seems to be very good. It pretty much scrapes the citrus fruit completely clean, getting all the juice out. The "final spin" feature, which squeezes out say, another half teaspoon per cup, is more of a gimmick than anything else, but OK. Why not.You have to put a small amount of "elbow grease" into it, but it's nothing I'd say that the average person's 70-year-old grandmother wouldn't be able to handle. I squeeze about, say, 16 ounces of juice out per session (I'm usually making lemonade, and 16oz of lemon juice is plenty for a big batch), and the unit appears to hold up well. There's no overheating motor or anything that I can notice. You can set your pulp admittance level, etc etc. I have successfully juiced every citrus fruit on the planet, from the smallest lime, to a larger-than-a-grapefruit "melogold". It handled all. You do have to get the hang of the different postures you need to juice the larger vs. smaller fruits, but whatever, I'm sure everyone reading this is smart enough to deduce it for themselves.There are a few plastic parts to clean---the lid, which is easy, the reservoir, which is easy, the juicing widget, which is easy, but then the strainer area, which is a lot less easy. I'm not sure what the heck anyone's supposed to do here though if you're an engineer---the thing is designed to hold back pulp and fiber---i.e., the very things that make this part of the unit useful *must* make it harder to clean. A good session of squirting with a dish sprayer, and then maybe 90 seconds to remove the lodged-in pieces of pulp, and you're fine. But it's not like, swish-swish-swish with rinse water and you're done. How can it be? I think it's physically impossible to design a juicer that would do that.So I like it. Overall, it extracts, it seems, all the juice, the engineering design is sensible, it stays put, etc.The only thing I worry about is, you know, you give this a bit of force when you're juicing. The motor has to work pretty hard and overcome the resistance you're giving it. Seems like a tall order for what is a pretty small motor. But relatively few people have said their motor wasn't up to the job, and mine appears to be doing fine. So far.I'd recommend it, and very easily imagine that the extra $10 I spent to get this unit over similar looking things from other manufacturers was not misplaced.

I use this about once a month to juice 4-5 lemons. Very easy to use. Simple setting for more or less pulp. Pieces all come off for easy cleaning. Juices quickly with no stress on hands. It's a keeper.
