Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Juice yourself a glass of carrots or pour fresh OJ for a brunch crowd with this topnotch KitchenAid juicer/citrus press combo. Quiet yet powerful, the juicer grinds fruits, vegetables, and berries at just 1800 rpm, so juice foams less and keeps all of its nutrients. The stainless-steel extractor basket has a strong construction, a sharp cutting surface, and fine holes, so juice flows through, but fibers and pulp stay behind. Constructed with a hinged lid that doubles as the fruit pusher, the press contains two juicing domes that nest together for compact storage. KitchenAid's metal spout has a tapered edge for minimal splashing, while the power switch is easy to turn on or off, even with a wet hand. The unit's motor base is heavy-duty without unnecessary bulk, and its rubberized feet resist slipping and scooting. For handy storage, the power cord wraps underneath the machine. An included spatula simplifies the cleaning process, and all removable parts--bowl, basket, press, cones, and lid--are dishwasher-safe. --Emily Bedard

Best Juicer on the Market,
By
This review is from: KitchenAid KJE500BU Juicer and Citrus Press, Cobalt Blue (Kitchen)
I have owned this juicer for 2 months - after gong through several others, like the juiceman and a low-end omega, I find this by far the best. Powerful motor, nice design, doesn't shake or move, quiet. Have juiced most everything, from carrots to parsley and pineapple - this machine doesn't even blink like most other do (juiceman's motor slows down dramatically on hard vegetables). Cleanup is extremely easy, with the special spatula that comes along. Highly recommended.

Less evil then most juicers,
By A Customer
This review is from: KitchenAid KJE500BU Juicer and Citrus Press, Cobalt Blue (Kitchen)
This is an excellent juicer. This is my third make, and by far it is the best. It goes through citrus with the citrus attachment very fast. With the juicing blade, I went through 4 pounds of grapes in not time. If you have read the other reviews and are confused, here is the skinny: - The juicer does not normally vibrate or dance all around the counter as some have reported. It weighs a whopping 14lbs so MOST of the time it operates very smoothly, no vibrations or dancing. BUT, when you remove pulp from the juicing blade/ basket, then go back to juicing, it becomes a different machine. Until the pulp gets rebalanced, its Mr. Toad's Mad Ride!! I could barely keep the machine on the counter by wrapping my arm around the base (I am not kidding). The pulp should quickly rebalance itself and you will be back to normal, but its almost unbelievable the torque the machine has until it does and it wants to move. - Is it hard to clean? YES....ALL JUICERS ARE HARD TO CLEAN!! You are dealing with wet, sticky, pulp stuck in a mesh screen, what do people expect? It comes with a ... plastic spatula looking thing that helps. I think they should have a contest to guess what the spatula thingee's other sides are for, but one side does fit the shape of the blade and helps to clean. Otherwise, get a dish brush and quit whinning about cleanup. It also looks like that robot on Mystery Science Theater, so how can you go wrong?? If you want a juicer, buy this one!

Nice looking but very, very slow,
By A Customer
This review is from: KitchenAid KJE500CR Juicer and Citrus Press, Chrome (Kitchen)
When I took the unit out of the box I was impressed by the predictable stylings of the KitchenAid machine - until I used it. The feed chute is so small that it takes me 15 minutes to make my juice in the morning. My daughter in law bought the cheaper one from Amazon.com about a month ago called the Juice Fountain. Although I haven't heard of the brand, the unit is very nice looking and it is about 5 times faster to use. I am new to juicing, and don't know if other juicers are like the Kitchenaid, but this really seems to be very slow and labor intensive. It makes great juice and I feel better for drinking it, but I wish I had have bought the cheaper unit. I still have my Kitchenaid mixer and love it dearly, but in my mind, they don't have what it takes in juicers. 2115|R29LEVQ4764EGK;2115|R2HEZXJNCW2XMF;2115|R16X8J4VIA7LC1;
