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!!

Before I actually saw a citrus juicer in action on TV, I always thought that they were for lazy people who didn't want to juice their own lemons. I was wrong. I bought this juicer after watching the Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network use it in almost every episode, and now I know why. Let me just lay out the benefits of using an electric citrus juicer as opposed to using a wooden reamer. First of all, if you need to measure out a precise amount of citrus juice for a recipe, it is much easier to put a measuring cup under the plastic snap-up spout of the electric juicer rather than trying to aim into the measuring cup using a wooden reamer. Second, electric juicers get so much more juice out of citrus fruits than a regular lemon squeezer. The Cuisinart citrus juicer automatically switches the direction of the reamer to get the most out of the citrus. Another benefit of electric juicers is the fact that when you are using an electric juicer citrus juice won't squirt into your eyes as does a manual juicer. Also, the Cuisinart features a unique "Final-Spin" feature similar to that in a clothes washing machine. How the final-spin feature works is that once you take the empty citrus off of the reamer, you press the clear plastic lid down onto the juicer which makes the reamer spin really fast and uses centrifugal force to squeeze all the juice out of the remaining pulp. You just can't do that with a wooden reamer. Another benefit of the Cuisinart juicer is that it filters out the pulp. Most if not all electric citrus juicers have this feature, however, most manual juicers don't. Also, with the Cuisinart, every removable part is dishwasher safe which is very convenient for cleaning. I mentioned the snap-up spout earlier in this review but I didn't explain what it was. Basically, the snap-up spout stops the juice from getting on your countertop which is especially useful if you don't want lemon juice all over your counters. The Cuisinart juicer features a stainless steel body which looks very nice and will definitely last a long time. A lot of electric juicers' motors are very loud, but that isn't the case with the Cuisinart. The Cuisinart isn't that loud and won't interrupt normal conversations. Overall, electric citrus juicers offer many benefits over manual juicers, and if you are willing to purchase one I would fully recommend the Cuisinart for it's final spin feature and it's stainless steel body.Pros:- Unique "final-spin" feature- Stainless steel body- Snap-up spout- Quieter than most electric citrus juicers- Pulp-controlCons:- NoneIf you found this review helpful I would appreciate it if you clicked the "helpful" button below this review.

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.

The media could not be loaded. This juicer is a delightful addition to my kitchen arsenal. Its sleek design and stainless steel accents not only add a touch of elegance but also promise durability. The adjustable pulp control settings are a standout feature, allowing me to cater to everyone’s preference in the household, from pulp-free to extra pulpy.The juicer operates a bit noisy, while still acceptable. It’s also incredibly user-friendly, the intuitive assembly means I can go from craving to sipping fresh juice in minutes. The “Final-Spin” feature is great, extracting every last drop of juice, ensuring no waste and maximum flavor. It is also easy to clean in dish washing with fewer parts.This juicer is a solid performer with thoughtful features that make juicing a breeze. It’s not perfect, but it’s close enough to earn a bright spot on my countertop. I would recommend it.
