Juicer Machine by Cuisinart, Die-Cast Juice Extractor for Vegetables, Lemons, Oranges & More, CJE-1000 Import To Shop ×Product

Cuisinart Juice Extractor CJE-1000It is very good unit for juicing carrots, apples and similar harder veggies. We used it today (03/15/2016) for large amount of carrot juice (over one gallon, with breaks every liter and to empty pulp container) and it came out with minimum foam, good consistency and reasonably dry pulp. Position of the chute is good, no leaks, no splatter, no mess, regardless it is 1000 watts on highest speed. Unit’s cutting basket has very minimal vibrations which disappear more of less at normal speed and there is floating mechanism added to electric motor that works out the vibrations quite nicely. Well, after all it is a centrifugal juicer not a satellite guiding system, therefore little thing like this is expected and not bothersome. Locking mechanism on this juicer is very well designed, and base is actually made from magnesium like casting, which makes it bottom heavy and quite sturdy. The opening on top is large, so I would be very careful and never leave this unit unattended if one has little child of the kind that can get into trouble in split second.. Granted this is not a grinder, but I feel compelled to mention this – we all should know that little kids, active cell phones, laud TV’s and tired parents when all on can become potentially harmful combination.The noise level of this unit on high is about as loud as big blow-dryer on high.You will not need ear protection. Noise is not high-pitched or annoying.This is definite plus at least for me.Anyways, this is excellent juicer, and not just for the money. I was considering purchase of another 2 brands with similar specs but it either had only 2 speeds, or was much more money, and eventual parts availability from Cuisinart when needed appeared to be much more logical choice.You still need to cut stems of carrots, wash them and take time not to force them to hard yet they go in few at the time and juice comes out quickly, like water from the faucet.Apples should have seeds removed – not because this juicer will not take it but because ingredients in apple seeds.Lemons and oranges should be peeled unless one wants to consume all those antifungal sprays that are sprayed on many citrus prior to storage. Even DIY home grown organic peel with no chemicals will spoil the taste just because citrus oil in peels is too strong for consumption in quantities – this is why some supermarket citrus juices have this wonderful smell combined with some bitter aftertaste. Citrus oil is good to flavour cakes and treat pimples, but not for drinking.Celery will juice just fine, but for greens I use one of those slow juicers, the vertical version. The celery, raspberry, strawberry and things like kiwi come out better on slow juicers. It appears that “one size fits all” idea is only good for T-shirts, so considering one can get slow masticating juicers for much less then they used to cost there is no reason not to have one as well, so you can make nectar out of spinach and celery – it does taste weird but it is quite nutrition.The cleaning of this CJE-1000 is easy and fast as there are no nooks and hidden compartments like some juicers have. Shell of the units top is made of high impact ABS, it is very well made and fits perfectly. Cuisinart did excellent job in design how the parts fit – if it is not correctly assembled it will not start. Also, the motor has automatic thermal reset fuse, not like some major and expensive brand which I used to have and will never touch again for that very reason. One day you will overheat the juicer and I you do not have auto thermal reset, you will be shipping it for repairs. Not with this juicer. ThankYou Cuisinart !!!.Did I mention 5 speed? Yes, you may need it, maybe not all the time but it always nice thing to have more choices and practical controls.OK, time to go now, will drink more of that perfect juice, and then make carrot cake from some of the pulp, and the rest of pulp goes to the chickens and wild birds.I hope this juicer will last for some time, then if it quits one day I will most likely buy another, hoping that by that time Cuisinart is still making quality kitchen gadgets at affordable price. This one allows me to have quick, healthy, natural and nutritious juice.No high fructose corn syrup but I have to admit I keep the quart of the stuff under the sink – it is excellent added to water to keep x-mass trees fresher longer although I was always wondering how that works. LOLBTW, I purchased this juicer directly from Amazon warehouse – they had best price and I trust them most.

Honest & Fair Review-READ!I was inspired to buy a juicer after watching the documentaries “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead”, “Forks Over Knives”, “Food Inc.”, and “Food Matters”. I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on a Breville and this has many of the same features. The 1000 watt motor is powerful enough to easily juice just about everything. I’ve used it with apples, kale, carrots, spinach, strawberries, peaches, pears, blueberries, grapes, starfruit, cranberries, and pineapple just to name a few. I’ve used it twice a day for almost 3 weeks (at the time of this review) and have noticed good and bad…PROS:-Powerful 1000w motor comparable or better than any Breville at the same price range.-5 different settings to adjust for softer/harder fruits and veggies-Very Quiet-Anti-Froth pitcher works greatCONS:-You have to clean the juicer immediately after you’re done juicing (so I usually have to wait before I can even enjoy the juice I just made)The mesh screen can be a pain to clean. The included brush helps but you always have to get the teeth, the inside, the outside AND UNSCREW the teeth to get under the metal plate, then RESCREW it back together.-The big plastic lid has some areas that are hard to reach when cleaning, even when using a dish washer.-Pulp can be a little wet at times but I’ve noticed that it somewhat depends on what you’re juicing (using more fruits is going to give you some wet pulp but a more veggie heavy juice isn’t as wet)TIPS:-Always put an empty plastic bag (like the type you get from the grocery store) in the pulp catcher because it makes clean up so easy…lift the plastic bag out and throw it away (or use the pulp to make compost). The pulp catcher will never need more than maybe a rinse by using a plastic bag.-I usually have a glass ready with ice in it to pour my juice over. I personally think all juices taste better over ice. You could also throw the juice into a blender with some bananas, nuts, or whatever you like! Endless possibilities! (smoothies, etc…)RESPONSE TO COMPLAINTS: Some people on here complain about wet pulp or not enough juice but HELLO you’re spending less than $150 on a juicer! If you want the top shelf then go spend the $300-$500 on higher end models!!! For what you’re paying, THERE IS NO BETTER JUICER FOR UNDER $150! You get a lot for your money even with the minor flaws! I wouldn’t go to a car dealership and expect to get a Cadillac or Mercedes Benz with all the bells and whistles if I only had $10,000!! If you want top shelf then go buy top shelf! Cuisinart was obviously going for something middle of the road that encompassed similar features to high end models but at a more affordable price (by using more plastic parts basically).Be sure to read the entire manual to make sure you’re doing everything correct. I even make sure to juice everything on the proper 1-5 setting since not everything needs to be on 5. Overall this is a great juicer that has all the features and power of a Breville but at half the cost. I would highly reccommend this if you’re new to juicing. If you’re looking for more of a high end, everyday juicer, then go shell out double the cost of this and be happy instead of buying this and complaining that it’s not what you expected!

Powerful centrifugal juicer, Minimum Prep TimeWhen my Breville Juice Fountain Compact wore out, I replaced it with this juicer based on some reviews I found online, partly due to the external receptacle for fiber and variable speed motor. I use it mostly for apples, citrus and carrots/celery when I’m in a hurry. The juice it produces is high quality for a centrifugal machine, the unique foam filter works pretty well, the yield seems to be superior to the Breville’s due to the variable speed motor (just a subjective observation, I have not measured it) it comes with a nice 1 liter juice receptacle and adjustable outlet valve, but it is definitely more difficult to clean due to all the narrow crevices and sharp angles (the only drawback to this machine). I like the variable speed motor, which is not usually found in a juicer at this price point. and It has a powerful 1,000 W motor with 5 year warranty. While I still use my Omega masticating juicer when I have the prep time or need to juice certain vegetables and fruit that simply do not juice well in a centrifugal machine, the Cuisinart performs well, has a 3″ feeder chute and makes quick work of appropriate fruit and vegetables.

BUY IT YOU’LL LOVE IT – JUICE FOR THE HEALTH OF IT!This my first juicer and I searched all over the Internet for one. Not knowing if this was going to be a passing phase of become an everyday lifestyle change, I decided to buy one around $100.00, juice it to death and buy a more expensive one when the time came.I’ve been making smoothies forever with a Nutribullet using greens, but wanted to get into juicing. As with most everyone, I watched the movie “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” by Joe Cross. I don’t need to lose weight, am already Vegan, just wanted to go the extra mile.I chose this model and couldn’t be happier. It’s easy to put together, easy to clean, big, and my pulp is dry! I have tried putting my pulp through a second time just to see if anything else would come through, but maybe only a dribble – not worth the trouble.I LOVE the dial and if you READ the instructions, you’ll see that different fruits and veggies require different settings to get the most juice. A cucumber uses #1, oranges #2, carrots, apples #5. At first I wanted to crank it up to #5 and put them all through – don’t do this.I was and cut up all my ingredients first. I set the dial and put the fruits and veggies in according to the settings. I get the best juice ever. I usually make two 32oz juices per day, Joe’s Mean Green as my morning juice.The filter basket is hard for me to get off, but easy for me to clean. I clean the outside with a different, larger kitchen brush, rinse that side, then brush the inside of the filter basked with soap, rinse and it’s perfectly clean. All other pieces are so easy to rinse and clean. Do not scrub the plastic as you will scratch it.The machine is loud, but that doesn’t bother me one bit. The Cuisinart CJE-1000 is heavy duty, won’t operate without the clasp on, so easy to use, looks great on my counter, affordable and a fantastic choice. The feeding tube is huge and you won’t believe how many whole apples, oranges, cucumbers will go right in.This purchase has not made this a passing phase, but a daily addition to an already healthy lifestyle. I’m 62 and going strong!
