This Cuisinart CJE-500 Compact Juice Extractor was a gift, and it's been a massive hit!

Super impressed with the quality and performance. Easy to use, works perfectly, and arrived fast. Great value for the price—would definitely buy again!

Over the years I have had all types of juicers. Everything from cheapie centrifugal juicers to the masticating juicers that are pretty pricey. I decided to get this particular juicer because it fit my needs at this point in my life. Let me explain.Masticating juicers will always be the best, in my opinion. They take the produce and slowly chew it up and extract just about every particle of juice that could be extracted. I did not choose one this time because, even though they are cheaper than they used to be, there are still a few drawbacks. One, they take forever to make juice. In addition, they are more difficult to clean, and you absolutely must cut up your produce to fit them into the small feed chutes. If the quality of the juice is worth it for you, then I can highly recommend them.Centrifugal juicers are louder, generally cheaper, and get your juice to you in a hurry. You don't have to wait, they're easy to take apart, and pretty easy to clean compared to the masticating juicers. That being said, with a centrifugal juicer your pulp will be somewhat wetter, and you will always have some unjuiced items such as apple peels that may not get thoroughly ground up into juice.I chose this particular machine because it fits in my kitchen. Even though I'm retired, I'm very busy, and I really don't have time to play with a fiddly juicer. This is easy to clean, quieter than I expected it to be, and, as I said, it fits on my small countertop. Plus it's a Cuisinart. It matches my food processor! And while I have found the occasional errant apple peel, the pulp is drier than I expected. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this machine and so far I would buy it again.

Not as quiet as I would like but a sturdy and good juicer for the price.

I love this juicer. I’ve tried so many different juicers, from cheap (break, jam, flimsy parts) to expensive (too big, too many parts and hassle to clean), and the slow masticating ones. FYI - If you have ADD/ADHD don’t even think about the slow masticating ones, the waiting is torture, it’s like watching paint dry. I was ready to start beating the thing to get it to go faster, lol. And if you get more nutrients out of the slow ones than the centrifugal ones, it doesn’t matter if it’s too much of a pain to use. I’d rather get a few fewer nutrients and get it done fast! No, it doesn’t squeeze every last drop out of the pulp and I really don’t care. Because of how fast and easy this juicer is, I use it all the time. And I think the juice quality is great! And it’s pretty easy to clean. As easy as possible given the quality. I’ve had cheaper ones that were easier to clean but negligible quality. This one has the quality of the very expensive juicers, and it’s priced well, and small! I have a tiny kitchen and this one neatly fits under my cabinets and doesn’t take up much space. It works fast, easy to clean and basically the best of all worlds in one! I used to tease my mom because she’s sort of obsessed with the Cuisinart brand. To the point it was almost a deterrent for me, because I’m tired of hearing about Cuisinart my entire life, lol. But I have to say the brand lived up to my mom’s raves with the case of this juicer. I am so happy with it - my favorite one of all the juicers I’ve ever had, hands down.

I bought this product on March 29th and I haven't used it even 5 times because I was on vacation. Today, April 29th, it broke in an inexplicable way while I was making my green juice. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL! I thought this brand was good, but it was a very bad experience.

I needed a juice extractor for a detox diet. After browsing on many models, I found that every single one has lovers and haters. The main complaints I saw in other brands were related to difficulty to clean the machine and durability. Reliability is important to me but also, I was avoiding a noisy and bulky machine. I used this one to prepare 40 ounces of carrot juice every day for a detox. It was not hard to clean, it wasn't noisy, and it worked as it should. I love this machine. I have continued to create new varieties of juices for breakfast. The only caveat is that because of the compact design the pulp container in the back (40oz for solid waste) fills up after you extract 16oz on the juice pitcher. So, if you just want 8 - 16oz of juice you don't need to pay attention to the pulp container. But in my case, since I wanted to prepare at once 40oz I was extracting juice our of 5 pounds of carrots (it's a lot!) and I had to stop from time to time to empty the pulp container before is too full (it gets messy if you forget about it). But for a couple of glasses of juice, this is a compact, reliable and efficient juice extractor that I can recommend to my friends. Love it!
