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

Great Juicer @ Times/Manual don't describe Trick of Cleaning,
This review is from: KitchenAid KJE500WH Juicer and Citrus Press, White (Kitchen)
REVIEW:----------------- This Juicer is a Great juicer, and if you know the ""Trick"" to cleaning it, well its a snap and makes this juicer a realy great Juicer.---------- First off, it is very quiet while juicing, and is juices very smoothly, no shimmying across counter top, like some customers have stated of other juicers. It does not foam up, and I have been able to juice over a gallon of juice, with only having having to spend 40 second to lift out baket, scoop out the pulp, and reassemble the juicer, before you are off again.-------- The citrus fruit juicer attachment, which is included at no extra cost, is well made with two sizes to juice large and small citrus fruit. It has safety features that will insure safe opperation while juicing citrus fruit, (some other brand juicers, will require you to purchase the juicer attachment at an additional price). The citrus fruit stainer is so great, you could can juice boxes of citrus fruit, while only having to stop and empty the citrus strainer after every about 30 medium peaces of citrus fruit.-------------------------------------For cleaning, it comes apart very quickly, without any difficulty, there is only two peices too take apart from the base unit.-----------------------------------------After spending many hours of researching the specs of different juicers out there. Then reading several customer reviews for many of the juicers sold by Amazon.com. I decided to purchase this KitchenAid Juicer.---------------------------------- And there was only one negative review concerning the KitchenAid Dual Function Juicer, about difficulty cleaning small food out of strainer, THERE IS A SIMPLE TRICK TO CLEANING!!! ------------------------------------ First off, the "Shaped Spatula", looks like part of the packing material, and was almost trashed, lucky I have always insisted, all packing materials are saved, and not put into the trash. Because if you loose this special shaped spatula, you might as well forget about cleaning this juicer.-----------------------------------TRICK TO CLEANING: Take the basket & the special designed spatula. Using the shorter size of the spatula scrap / scoop the left over fruit material out of the strainer basket.----------------------Then use the specially designed spatula's shorter side to scrap with on the outside of the basket. it will fit pefectly. Then put it under running water, and scrape the outside of the strainer basket, it will scrap off the the pulp that is stuck through the micro screen basket. As you turn the strainer and scrape under the running water, you will see how easyly the strainer basket is cleaned.................. Then repeat the process on the inside of the strainer basket while under runing water. Once you see the pulp clean from the strainer basket's inne sides. --------------- Then the next step is to cup your hand under the strainer, (vertical held), while the water is running. Since the pulp floats in water, the slight remaining pulp will float in the pool od water you have created, Then slightly tilt the stainer, and the floating pulp will float over the rim and out of your stainer. Leaving the strainer fairly clean. Repeat the prpocess as needed.---------------------------------------I am juicing 4-5 times each day, sometime as much as a gallon of juice at a time. It cleans quickly and juicer quickly and quietly. I am very happy with this product!!! I strongly recomend this item.Jeff

Overhyped product that doesn't deliver,
By Steven Granese (Arlington, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KitchenAid KJE500WH Juicer and Citrus Press, White (Kitchen)
I reviewed most of the juicers on ... and many other major sites and decided that the KitchenAid was the best product on the market. After receiving it, I changed my mind. Although it promises to be an easy cleanup with a "special tool", it is way too hard to clean up. The pulp basket contains a ridge that makes it next to impossible to get out all of the little strains of pulp. The special tool is great for getting out the big stuff, but not the little stuff. Also, there is a TON of juice left over in the pulp that gets thrown away. This is a result of the poor design, which filters the juice through the pulp before exiting. The product had a nice design and looked good on my counter-top, but it did not deliver. I would recommend buying Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer that is available on other sites.

Works Well, But Very Dainty,
By
This review is from: KitchenAid KJE500WH Juicer and Citrus Press, White (Kitchen)
I purchased this Kitchenaid juicer almost two years ago. Through normal wear and tear, I had to send the first juicer back on warranty after about six months. Although the replacement was quick and satisfactory, within a few months the new juicer had succumbed to many of the same problems and then some!
First, this juicer is held together by little plastic pieces that can easily be broken when disassembling for cleaning. On both of the juicers that I've had the snaps on the citrus attacments have broke, the snaps that hold the spigot in place have snapped off, and now, on the one replaced by warranty, the base has even started to crack. Although none of the damage prevents me from using it, it's a major pain in the butt and requires some extra manuvering. Given the large asking price for this juicer, I would look elsewhere to prevent the hassle.
