"Juicer is excellent!" 2010-08-26
By Bonnie Portelance
For the price compared to other juicers, this one is worth every penny! It is strong, efficient, easy to use, and easy to clean and put back together. Very nice looking also. Cuisinart CJE-1000 1000-Watt 5-Speed Juice Extractor

  
"Decent Juicer...Not Great" 2010-05-15
By Lorne Bourdo (Parker, CO)
I bought this juicer yesterday and immediately washed it and got down to business. I juiced Carrots and Apples. After I was finished, I took a look at the pulp and I was able to squeeze juice out of the pulp still.

I spoke with the sales rep and he said the Breville juicer plus was better at collecting the juice and extracting more from the pulp. So I went back and exchanged it today. I would say this is an ok juicer, but not the best.

However I'm sure most juicers can't get 100% of the juice out of fruit. This machine functions properly and looks nice. I was just disappointed with the amout of juice that was left behind.

  
"Only buy if you do bulk juicing" 2010-05-09
By Matt Fellers (San Francisco, CA USA)
I bought this with the hope of aiding in squeezing lines for margaritas, which is not a very high volume use.

Unfortunately, the cleanup involved makes this device complete overkill for margaritas! I had to clean no fewer than 9 different parts in order to fully clear the device of the desiccated pulp. On the plus side, because the pulp was rendered into a fine, dry pulp, cleaning went pretty fast.

The unit I had does an amazing job of extracting every last drop of juice from the limes. But be sure to peel the limes before hand, or the juice will be very tart!

But given the 10 minutes it took me to wash the parts, it would have been just as fast to juice the limes the old fashioned way: by hand.

So unless you're juicing for bulk and saving the resulting beverage, this product is just overkill. Though it is pretty amazing at how well its able to pull very last drop of juice from the fruit (at least for limes).

  
"Terrible juicer for the price." 2010-04-17
By dukeofhurl (Portland, OR)
I bought this without finding any other reviews. I wish I hadn't. I have a number of Cuisinart items in my kitchen and really like them all. This isn't one of them and I'm returning it today.

The pulp it ejects is mushy. Juicers I've had in the past were able to create a fine, dry pulp. I pick up this pulp, slightly squeeze it with my hand and get more juice. A lot of the pulp doesn't make it to the pulp container. Quite a bit of the pulp even escapes and ends up in a fine sheet on my counter.

Maybe I just expected too much from Cuisinart. I emailed their customer support to see if this was a known issue or to find out if I was doing it wrong (doubtful) and haven't heard back from them after more than a week.

The juicer looks great. I like the design and the finish. Other than that I dislike it very much.
