Cuisinart CJE-1000 1000-Watt 5-Speed Juice Extractor (Refurbished)

This is an excellent juicer for the average juicing person who juices several times a week. I am a DAILY juicer, however, an was not happy with the amount of counter space it took up and the amount of pulp it was extracting. I think for a DAILY juicer, a machine like the "slow juicers" i.e., STAR, OMEGA, make much more sense. These types of juicers are even quieter, produce MORE JUICE and LESS PULP, which is the holy grail of juicing, AND have a smaller counter footprint, since DAILY JUICERS never put their juicer away... The Cuisinart performed admirably, but if you are a SERIOUS, DAILY juicer, it is clearly not th solution.

I used this to do a juice fast after I watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead and I couldn't have asked for a better product. This juicer is perfect for me. I grew up juicing but haven't done it in a while so I don't necessarily have anything to compare it to. If I could do it over I would evaluate other options like a Vita-Mix because of how versatile it is. However, if you are looking for a in-expensive juicer I think you found the right one! The refurbished title scared me a bit but I would have never known. It worked like brand new for me! The cleaning process is so easy and typically only takes 2-3 minutes. The materials are very easy to clean and there is virtually no scrubbing unless you let it sit for a while. The side container is perfect for me. The size of the container was perfect for one meal (approximately 32 oz). Cheers to better health!

this is a great juicer for a steady, low volume juice-head. i like the variable speed and the juice pitcher with measurements in both metric and imperial. the strainer basket is sometime difficult to lift out, however, this product is sturdy and i believe it will last a long time.

As mentioned, I was nervous buying a refurbished item but seeing how much these normally go for - this is our first juicer - we figured if it breaks after a few months, at least by then we'll know if we use it a lot and like it. We love it so far! We've probably made 10 different juices with it and haven't had any issues with the fruits and veggies we are using. It's cumbersome and has a lot of part - but it really is easy to take a part and clean. I highly recommend taking your trash out after you empty the leftover peels, seeds, etc from the holding container - it will start to smell quickly! All in all - we are extremely satisfied with our juicer and look forward to the health benefits of a nutrient-packed lifestyle.
