Elite Gourmet Masticating Cold Press Juicer, Charcoal Grey

ome reviews say they chop everything up tiny but you don’t need to do that. As long as it fits in the chute it seems fine. I put whole carrots in there. If you’re doing things like spinach and romaine etc then it’s easier to push them down with a carrot or celery rather than the tool they give you. The plunger tool just compacts it really hard and gets it stuck. It’s also really easy to put the pulp back thru and it will squeeze a few more drops out. Just only do a few pieces at a time so you don’t get it too messy and clog it up.

Theres a reverse function for if food stops moving, you’ll probably only need to do this for the last bit of food you send through since there will be nothing coming to send it forward. You just press and hold reverse for a few seconds and then go forward again to get the food moving into the filter.

The whole juicing part comes off in one piece after and then it’s really easy to disassemble to clean and reassemble. Once you do it once you won’t forget how to do it again.

It’s not as fast as a centrifugal juicer of course. The centrifugal juicer I owned before was too messy and threw pulp all over the place inside the juicer and was just annoying to clean. There were too many spots the pulp would end up. The pro though is that you can make juice fast. I really don’t don’t the heating of the juice matters. You can put cold vegetables in a centrifuge and get cold juice out. I think they need to be heated up quite a bit more to change their composition. So of you’re looking at a slow juicer for that reason maybe read up to see if that is a total scam. I’m not sure I’m just thinking rationally. For me the slow juicer was all about the cleaning and I read they produce drier pulp. They also look nice on the kitchen counter, very cultured looking 😛

It probably takes 5 minutes to push all the vegetables I use though. 4 big carrots, 10 celery sticks, half an apple, half a lemon, piece of ginger, a whole romaine and half a cucumber. The prep is minimal since a lot of that can go through without being cut in half first. If it fits in the chute whole I leave it as is. That amount makes about 20z of juice and then I make a broth with the pulp and store it in the freezer.

It’s also fairly quiet compared to the centrifugal juicer I used before. It’ll probably still wake someone up though.

This juicer earns a solid four-star rating for its ease of use, efficient performance, and suitability for most common fruits and vegetables.

**Pros:**

* Simple to set up, clean, and store
* Handles a wide range of vegetables and fruits, including cucumbers, carrots, apples, strawberries, celery, grapes, oranges, and lemon peel
* Compact and aesthetically pleasing
* Reverse function for unclogging
* Produces drier pulp

**Cons:**

* Not suitable for leafy greens, such as spinach
* Slower than centrifugal juicers

**Performance:**

Despite its slower speed compared to centrifugal juicers, this juicer still performs efficiently. It takes approximately 5 minutes to process a large quantity of vegetables, including carrots, celery, apples, lemons, ginger, romaine lettuce, and cucumbers. The prep time is minimal, as many items can fit through the chute whole.

**Cleaning:**

The juicing part comes off in one piece, making disassembly and cleaning a breeze. Once you have cleaned it once, you will easily remember how to reassemble it.

**Additional Features:**

The reverse function is useful for unclogging any food that may stop moving during juicing. This is typically only necessary for the last bit of food, as there is nothing to push it forward.

**Conclusion:**

This juicer is an excellent choice for those who primarily juice non-leafy vegetables and fruits. It is easy to use, clean, and store, and it produces delicious, healthy juices. While it may not be as fast as centrifugal juicers, it makes up for it with its ease of maintenance and drier pulp.

Won’t go into a bunch of detail but I need lots of lemon juice to battle a certain condition that I have. I also have arthritis and so this unit allowed me to create lots of fresh lemon juice quickly and easily without a lot of discomfort. And almost as importantly, disassembles easy and completely so it can be completely cleaned well at all areas making it One of the safest units I’ve ever owned as far as getting absolutely every tiny particle off the working part so it doesn’t contaminate or grow mold or bacteria. If it had one point of improvement it would be there’s room for it to improve the amount of juice removed from the pulp. The amount it does remove is adequate , especially for the price. On a scale of 1 to 10 the ease of cleaning it. It’s about a 12. And the gripper like feet that adhere to countertops was a nice idea

Love love love this product!!
Small, easy to clean, and perfect for anyone wanting to juice!

Not to noisy and great for the price! Highly recommended
