This superior blender (which I prefer to regard as a "pummeler" as almost nothing would withstand its deconstruction-efforts) is manufactured in Cleveland from whence only a limited number of superior products originate (Cleveland Clinic being in the same league.) If you're looking for an industrial strength product, practically impossible to intimidate or overload, this would be it. I've had one for over ten years, now; so infatuated with it that I've given them as gifts to friends and lovers on over half-a-dozen occasions. They aren't cheap, certainly, but are worth every penny!

Juiceman Jr. Juicer - JM1 Review

This little juicer is a great intro into the juicing lifestyle. It is a centrifugal juicer meaning the vegetables you place into it are shredded by tiny teeth and the pulp is thrown against the outer wall of the screen and the juice is forced out by the spinning motion. What you get is a fair amount of juice for the vegetables you place into it. I have owned this juicer for over 5 years with little or no problems at all with it. I usually juice every day so that is saying a good deal for a machine that costs less than $100.
I would give it 5 stars if it were not for the following things:
1. It is noisy, I mean lock up the cat because when you fire it up it resembles a jet engine taking off.
2. A pain to clean. It only has 1 moving part but due to the nature of the process food particles fling all over the inside of it.
3. Bogs down with pulpy fruits.
Some hard-core juicing people say that centrifugal juicers heat the juice up and this destroys nutrients. In my opinion even heated a small amount is still better than sucking down soda and pizza any day.
Juice for your health!

This juicer is fantastic. I only have those huge juicebar types vs. the little shredder 99$ ones to compare it too, and it blows them both away. A juicebar type omega would be nice if I ... owned a juice bar. But I'm just juicing for two at the most and this little 8 hp baby does the trick. The automatic shut off is a great feature for someone who likes to burn appliances up trying to 'do frozen' because I'm impatient, but I've only managed to kill this one once, with too much frozen corn- I was making Thai fish cakes.
It does not shred to juice, it twists to squeeze out the precious fluid and the hopper lets you control how much 'pulp' aka fiber you want in your juice. I love the engine purr and the squeak of kale as it's pushed through, I just wish I had a black or red one! haha This is a good price for a well warranted product, a great design, easy to clean up (though I don't know about a minute flat or whatever), I usually just rinse the pieces as I take it apart before I even drink my juice.
I primarily use it for juicing vegetables, and while it's tough I still cut my carrots into the size I would give a kid for veggie sticks, broccoli, beets too, the harder veggies need to be sliced up a bit, but i stuff celery whole down the chute, chunks of cabbage, ginger, kale... I will be making nut butter with it, and sausage if I can cope with the skin *shudder*
I love to use the pulp in veggie burgers, extra fiber in meatloaf, carrot cake, makes awesome compost and you can even throw some nuts on top of the dry pulp (run it through twice, sure!), dates, olive oil and have a salad later. Mix it into homemade dog food! No reason just to throw it away...
I can't wait to use my Samson juicer tomorrow morning, just talking about it.
TEN STARS
Pasta, pate, sorbets, spice grinding, and I hear they have a new nozzle for making oil!! I'm getting one...
The only thing that comes close to a hassle is the juicing screen (which does not spin, it's a little stationary cone inside the plastic nozzle that you can trade out for a solid cone for pate, etc). I figured out quickly though that using the little brush (toothbrushs work well when the bristles finally wore down) on the INSIDE of the screen first, then going around the outside of the screen in circular motions is most effective, under a little running water. Everything else if you don't clean it right away (which would be silly) or are running meat through it, can be put in the dishwasher!
I have an older model that looks exactly the same, 10 yr instead of 15 warranty, and they say they've improved some of the pieces.. I can't imagine it being more perfect though!

Hurricane Stainless Steel Manual Wheatgrass Juicer- Hand Crank Juice Extractor for Wheat Grass & Barley Grass Juicing Review

I purchased the Jack Lalanne Juicer from a major retailer and was thoroughly disappointed with its "inability" to juice much more than an apple so forget about wheatgrass (it went back that same day)! While the Hurricane does take some elbow grease (manual labor), it's SO worth it! This thing can get juice out of darn near anything!
In comparison, the Lalanne Juicer took about 20 minutes to properly clean-up, while the Hurricane is less than a 3 minute clean-up! Its Stainless Steel construction is awesome and I know it will last a lifetime!
As usual...delivery was FAST!

I am a huge juicer. Every morning my wife and I juice. We noticed that our juiceman jr was not efficiently juicing our green vegies. It was wasting 90% of them. The green veggies (expensive I might add) went right into the plastic bin hardly touched. I went to Jamba Juice and they explained how an auger presses the green juices - and, that's what Jamba uses for their wheat grass....well, the rest is history. I did my homework and found out that augers are more efficient just like Jamba explained. And, kitchens best walked me through the entire thing. Plus, they offered a 90 day money back warranty. They are incredibly nice and I can't believe they offer that kind of awesome money back gaurantee. Anyway, they are RIGHT about the juicer - it absolutely presses out 95% more green juice than the Jack Lalane and Juice man Jr. styles..and it does a better job on apples, ginger, and everything else too. The ONLY down side is - it's a slower process. But, in life - you can't have everything. I would much rather take a minute or two more each day and get my monies worth out of the fruits and veggies I buy than to speed through it and waste my food. Also, I seriously think it tastes better too!! Reason being, the other style spins it so fast - I swear it tasted "burned" sometimes. The Samson seems sweeter and more mellow. Anyway, trust me - you won't go wrong with this juicer or this company. Lovely company. Fair price too. Nobody offers a 90 day warranty...not even KMART OR WALLMART!! Nuff said. Buy it - you will thank me later.

I've owned my Green Power KPE 1304 Juicer for over 18 months now. Our family juices 3-4 times a week and we like to think of ourselves as seasoned pro's.
We juice wheatgrass on a regular basis and found that the machine works flawlessly making pretty much all juices. Our family is very health conscience and wanted a juicer that would make our favorite juices, be easy to clean and last a couple days before going bad, that is if we don't drink it all that same day.
I researched many different juicers including the Green Star and the Green Power Gold and learned that these models where a much older design from the mid 90's which has not been updated and had a few drawbacks. The Green Power 1304 is the latest design and I am telling you this because I was initially completely confused as Tribest tried to tell me that the Green Star and Green Power Gold where the latest and best models available which was completely untrue.
I contacted Kitchen's Best customer service and kept the kind lady on the phone with all of my silly questions for well over half an hour. I really appreciated the time that she spent with me. I really do not like to be "sold" over the phone and I clearly felt that she just wanted to help me find the right juicer. She e-mailed me the Green Power history chart which clearly showed the evolution of the Green Power/Green Star Juicers which was very helpful.
Our family totally loves the juicer! The kids enjoy having fun creating different juices and clean up is fairly easy if you clean it right away.
I highly recommend the juicer and the company's customer service is always fantastic. I have now purchased multiple times from this company and it has been a great experience. If you are looking to make soy, nut and rice milk I also recommend the NEW 2009 Soymilk Maker - SoyQuick Premier Milk Maker 930P My best purchase this year.

The Green Power KP-E 1304 Twin Gear Juicer provides a great way to improve your diet and nutrition, by allowing you to make your own fresh juices, right at home. With patented twin gear and new bio-ceramic and magnetic technology, it naturally prolongs the storage time and freshness by ionizing your juice. Rather than juicing two, sometimes three times per day like other conventional juicers, you can prepare your juice once in the morning and store it for up to 72 hours! The Green Powers unique horizontal twin gears are so versatile allowing you to juice leafy greens and herbs, fibrous plants and grasses, and tough, stringy vegetables and even sprouts. Fruits and vegetables are thoroughly crushed, rather than cut or shred into small pieces, as other juicers do. Other older twin gear juicers are notorious for frequently clogging when juicing fruits like strawberries, kiwis, or watermelon. With the Green Power Juicer, you don't have to worry. It will juice continuously, without clogging.With a large feeding shoot and superior cutting gears, it's the right choice for those who want less preparation and easy feeding. Using the multi-purpose kit, a variety of pastas can be made. Multi-purpose functions also include grinding coffee, grains, seeds and nuts. The Green Power Juicer is designed for life. If an unusually hard substance accidentally enters the gears, the reverse rotation override immediately stops the motor before any damage occurs. Additionally, Green Power's precision balanced ¼ horsepower 160RPM motor generates very little noise or vibration compared to other juicers. We are confident that your Green Power Juicer will bring you a lifetime of trouble free, noise free, enjoyable juicing.Kitchens Best feels so strongly about making sure that you have the best shopping experience possible.

I have owned several juicers over the years including Acme, Champion, and Juiceman II. Since the latter was what I replaced with the Green Power I will use it to make my comparison. The Juiceman is a good middle of the road juicer but we decided to upgrade when my wife became ill. We wanted one that could juice wheatgrass, and provided a better quality juice than the Juiceman. After researching we went with the Green Power.
Pro: the Green Power does provide a better quality juice. The pulp is much drier, the juice keeps longer, and it does a pretty fair job with wheatgrass. The Juiceman produces a wetter pulp and will not juice wheatgrass.
Con: not easy to clean. The Juiceman takes about two minutes and you're done, the Green power has more parts, smaller screens and just takes longer. Also,the juicer itself needs to be cleaned where the twin screws attach. Complicated. If you want carrot apple juice you have to replace screens in the middle of juicing. The Juiceman juices fruits and vegetables without the need to change screens. The Green Power requires taking off the vegetable screen and replacing it with a fruit screen. This is messy and time consuming, plus it doesn't do a great job with fruit. Pulpy. The Green Power juice is very pulpy no matter how much you tighten down the pulp adjustor. A strainer is advised.
One other issue I have with the Green Power is it occasionally will spurt juice and pulp up through the feeder tube if you are juicing wet vegetables like cucumbers. So the juicer and counter have a nice coating of juice and pulp. Having said all this, the quality of the juice may well overide all these other issues and I may find some of them are correctable over time (I've been using the Green Power for a couple of months).

Acme 6001 Juicer - Juicerator Household Centrifugal Juicer Review

Acme 6001 Juicer - Juicerator Household Centrifugal Juicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Acme juicers are made by Waring now as they have been for the past twenty years or so. One can buy the identical juicer as the Waring Commercial, so price shopping may prove fruitful.
I'll state that I've used Acme juicers for 30 years and the one I own now I've had for a number of years. The design hasn't changed, though, and my juicer uses the same supplies and parts.
Though the Acme appears quite similar to the Omega 1000/9000 series, there is one important design difference. If you look at the photo of the Acme you will see there are no moving arms on either side to hold the lid down. Apparently these arms are an Achilles' heel for Omega owners, breaking over time. The Acme uses no arms. The lid is placed on top of the bowl, then a short twist locks the lid to the side arms. No hanging, moving parts to break, and it's extremely quick and easy and secure. I'm sure when the guys breaking away from Acme decided to essentially copy the Acme design they couldn't take this with them, so they went with breakable arms. I can only say that after thousands of openings and closings with my Acme, the lid is as secure and workable as it was when new.
As can be seen, this isn't one of the so-popular pulp ejectors with the slanted slotted basket to throw pulp out. Upon opening the lid and looking inside, the sheer size of the straight-sided pulp catcher is impressive after looking at so many little slanted baskets. The pulp catcher is large enough to easily accommodate my man's hand for cleaning. And, of course, the outer stainless steel container is even larger. Because those of us who do serious juicing know that periodically the cutting blades will dull and need replacement, the cutting blades are on a very heavy stainless weighted disc, separate. At this time the cost is around $30 to replace this heavy cutting disc; full-sized Omegas and Acmes use the same disc. And, of course, the big juice bar commercial juicers also feature replaceable cutting discs. There is a large threaded shaft coming up from the motor in the middle. A large, easily-handled knob with built-in spring clutch threads on the shaft after dropping the heavy cutting disc on the shaft. Alignment of the cutting disc is automatic, no fiddling required. Total assembly of the stainless steel basket, outer container, cutting disc and lid is extremely easy and fast compared to so many newer generation juicers. Just a classic design that truly hasn't been improved.
This is a massive and heavy appliance and it sets on a dozen or so rubber feet; in years I've never known the thing to walk an inch. These big rubber feet (some are visible in the photo) dampen vibration perfectly. Upon turning the machine on, the noise level is quite low compared to so many juicers, rather a low, whooshing noise. The basket spins at 60rpm/second. This may not be as fast as some machines, but one must remember the large diameter of the pulp basket. It gains speed quickly in a few seconds is at operating speed. I'm not going to jam produce into any juicer like some of those idiots on infomercials, and this juicer easily takes care of firm vegetables. The best method for leafy greens is to roll them up into a roll or a ball to give sufficient firmness for the cutting disc. No, this juicer doesn't extract the same amount of juice for leafy greens. Buy a masticator if you want primarily those.
After use, it does take a half minute or so for the basket to slowly return to idle. I will say this juicer will easily produce a couple of 16-ounce glasses of carrot/beet/celery type juice before requiring cleaning of the pulp container. And boy, is it dry! Can't squeeze a drop out. I keep reading how much harder this basket is to clean than pulp ejectors. Not in my opinion. Because of its great size, I can easily reach inside. Not only that, because it isn't slanted on the circumference, pulp somehow doesn't get a grip. I never have to use a brush on this basket, just running water and my hand.
I know this review is long, but there isn't a lot of publicity about a juicer that was one of the bedrocks of juicing, and still should be. Unlike so many of these little foreign-made machines selling like hotcakes now, this juicer will be around for your grandchildren--and parts are still completely available. Hope this helps those considering--and compare the lid lock with Omega!

Kuvings Juicer NJ-9310U, FREE Shipping Available!
I got this juicer as a birthday present and was over the moon about it. I intended to purchase the other juicer however the store was out of them. After I purchased this juicer, my parents saw how much better my juicer was than theirs. They immediately purchased Kuvings Juicer.
This was an amazing juicer, I've ever seen. When I first met this, it came well packed. The juicer was very easy to set up and use even without reading the manual. I made fresh juice every morning with ease. I stucked in a whole apple and the juicer made a cup of apple juice like nothing. The juice was surprisingly smooth. I was very impressed. A powerful motor seemed to shred evreythng. I was really satisfied the noise of the powerful motor.
It was also very easy to clean up. It just took all of 5 minutes if you're through. Even comes with its own scrub brush. It worked very well to scrub the metal inner piece that strains the juice. This was the only part I washed by hand. It could be rinsed and put through the dishwasher.
The juice is very smooth and frothy. I highly recommend this juicer to friends!

The unit's large-capacity cylindrical feeding tube can fit whole apples, pears, oranges, kiwis, peppers, and more without the need to peel off the skin, remove the seeds, or chop into smaller pieces first, while its sharp stainless-steel blade and basket leave behind no pulp residue for pure, nutritious, read-to-drink beverages. In fact, the powerful unit has the capacity to continuously juice up to 30 to 50 cups of juice at a time. Compost the collected pulp or, better yet, use it to flavor soups, sauces, breads, cakes, and more. For peace of mind, the appliance provides a safety locking system that prevents the unit from operating unless the work bowl and cover are properly locked onto the base. In a sleek, ergonomic design that takes up minimal space on the counter, the juice extractor measures 16-4/5 by 14 by 9-2/3 inches and carries a one-year manufacturer's warranty.

If you're serious about getting a real blender, it comes down to Blendtec and Vita-Mix. I don't think you can go wrong with either of these "real" blenders. All the others are fine, I guess. I'd been making do with a classic Waring and a cheap new thing that promised to circulate the contents in some kind of wave motion. Whatever. They both made enough noise to drown out a helicopter landing on my roof, and I seriously feared they'd fly apart and I'd die from shrapnel wounds. And they were such a pain to clean that I regretted pulling them out of the cupboard in the first place. I needed something better, and man, did I find it!
I chose the Blendtec for the following reasons:
-it's smaller
-no knobs or crevices to clean or gum up
-square pitcher pours better
-3 HP motor (!)
-excellent design and choice of materials
-Vita-Mix is incredibly ugly -- I wonder if that was on purpose or just some unfortunate accident?
-relatively quiet -- if you want to hear loud, come over and I'll dig out my old blenders and make you a smoothie
-Extremely easy to clean
Yes, I love it and haven't found anything about it I'd change.

Healthy Juicer - Manual Hand Powered Wheatgrass Juicer - Wheat grass juicer Review

Healthy Juicer - Manual Hand Powered Wheatgrass Juicer - Wheat grass juicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros:
-----
1. Very compact: It takes less counter/table space than a small plate. Most of the electrics (except the L'Equip mini and the Waring JEX 328) are major space hogs.
2. Very efficient: Masticating juicers extract more juice than the centrifugal models. Perhaps more importantly, they do a better job of crushing tough plant cell walls and releasing enzymes - think minced garlic versus chopped garlic. (Whether or how much added health benefits this results in, depends on what you juice. It's hard to get good info on this, but plant enzymes typically help in breakdown and better absorption of nutrients.)
3. Cheap (Check out their Ebay listing - it's $10 cheaper over there.) If you don't want to drop upwards of $250 on an electric masticating juicer, or aren't sure whether you'll stick to it, this one's worth a try.
4. Easy to clean
Cons:
-----
1. The hopper's a bit small, which means you'll be reloading frequently. This seems to be the trouble with masticating juicers in general (including the electrics), but the Z-star manual juicer (also available on amazon, though at twice the cost) has a somewhat bigger hopper.
UPDATE: see effort section below.
2. As I haven't used this long enough, I can't say how durable it is, though it seems very tough and well-made. (The auger tip and the surface it crushes against are both stainless steel, and all the rest is polycarbonate.)
Juicing effort:
---------------
Turning the handle: Effortless for leafy veggies, very little effort for carrots and firm veggies, provided you cut them into smaller pieces first. Don't expect to be able to throw a whole carrot or radish in. The reviewer that claims that you need to be a weightlifter to turn this thing was funny, but wildly off the mark.
UPDATE: Curiously enough, on trying red cabbage, the juicer groans, esp. with largish pieces. I noticed that the juicing effort is quite sensitive to the size of the pieces - with smallish pieces, not only is less turning effort required, but the produce doesn't need pushing either. This lets you feed and crank the handle at the same time, making the process faster.
All in all, though, this idiosyncracy counts as a negative point, and I'm lowering my rating to 4 stars.
UPDATE 2: When juicing cabbage, drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the chopped cabbage - this completely eliminates the groaning (which happens due to friction between the rubbery leaves and the juicer body).
Cleaning: better than the electrics in this department because of fewer parts and simpler design. Cleanup is a major part of juicing effort, so I count this as a pro.
Cutting: For firm veggies, you'll have to cut them into smaller parts (no perfect julienne required; just a quick, sloppy chop would do.) Even so, this adds a little bit to the effort, so if you primarily want to juice firm veggies, you should look at an electric.
Setup: Very easy (again, from the simpler design).

Healthy Juicer, the affordable manual wheatgrass juicer Features & Specifications The Healthy Juicer is the easiest, most efficient and most affordable manual wheatgrass juicer available Most people know about the extensive health benefits of juicing, but nobody enjoys the process of setting up the juicer and worst of all, cleaning up afterwards. The Healthy Juicer is rugged, efficient, and best of all, easy to use and clean! Designed to handle leafy greens There are two types of juicers on the market today. Centrifugal and masticating (meaning to crush and squeeze). The main benefit of a masticating juicer is that it crushes the fruits and vegetables as opposed to shredding them as your average centrifugal juicer does. This process of crushing and squeezing extracts more juice and also has less heat build up than from the high speed at which centrifugal juicers work, which destroys the enzymes and other vital nutrients. The Healthy Juicer produces a healthier juice! Have you ever tried to juice leafy vegetables such as parsley, spinach or even cabbage in a centrifugal juicer? A good portion of it is wasted and just passes through as these juicers do not have any crushing ability. Vegetables are expensive today, especially organic ones. Why throw your money away by not extracting as much juice and nutrients as possible from them? The specially designed

Oxo Good Grips Citrus Peeler Review

Oxo Good Grips Citrus Peeler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This citrus peeler makes peeling oranges, limes, lemons etc. much safer than using any knife. Notice I said safer and not quantifiably faster! There is still a bit of manual peeling required after using it, but I'm no longer worried about slicing my hands as they get slippery while cutting other fruit for my juicer. A must have tool for anyone who has taken up the healthy habit of juicing.

New Z-Star Manual Portable Wheatgrass Juicer Review

New Z-Star Manual Portable Wheatgrass Juicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am partial to the masticating (rather than spinning centrifugal) juicers for reasons I won't go into here, so I went nuts shopping trying to fit my budget. I looked over this model quite a few times thinking it wouldn't be suitable for more than wheatgrass, or assuming it would be a lot of extra work.
Turns out that it is so easy to use I can't hardly believe more reviewers don't talk about it. Granted I chop the veggies, but to give you a frame of reference it's less effort to turn the handle than to tamp the veggies down the chute, and you have to do that even with an electric (not that either is hard). I could liken the manual/electric usage to driving manual/automatic transmission. I actually prefer this manual over the electric masticating I have used most days. Staying actively engaged makes it go by faster or something.
It is also extremely efficient. I have also used an Omega 8005 and feel like I not only saved money up front, but am spending less on veggies. As a daily juicer, that adds up. It's also lower pulp in the juice and less froth, the first a matter of taste the second a matter of shelf life. If you like the pulp, you can obviously add it back in.
As others have mentioned the pulp wants to drop into the juice container. There are about a hundred ways to easily work around this. My personal favorite is to put something under the container to raise it up a bit, allowing it to slide "out of range." Complaining about that seems to me about as petty as complaining you need an outlet for your toaster. It's really no big deal.
I have been extremely pleased with what it is able to juice. I am growing wheatgrass, but so far have fed it mainly apples, celery, and carrots.
I suspect this is the Green Star or Solo Star or whatever it's called these days with a crank instead of a motor. That is just a guess, based somewhat on the available "conversion kit" for electric model owners. Either way it is a terrific juicer and I'm glad I didn't fork over triple the price for an electric motor.
Update 11 1/2 months after buying:
I finally had something go wrong with this juicer. I was making peanut butter with the plug in the cap and it broke. I jumped on the Tribest web site, found a toll-free number, and in less than a minute I had someone from the company on the phone who replaced the part free of charge. They honored the 1 year warranty with no hassles even though I was pushing the thing pretty hard (I think the rep was surprised I had successfully made as much PB as I had with the plug in). BTW - the peanut butter this makes is amazing. It's actually capable of making creamy peanut butter, just leave the plug out of the front cap. ;)

Wheatgrass juice is one of nature's richest sources of chlorophyll and has proven to be a natural body cleanser, rebuilder, and neutralizer of body toxins. Until now, obtaining the juice from this miracle plant required purchasing expensive juicers or making a trip to your local juice bar to buy a shot. Now, with the Z-Star Manual Juicer, Tribest makes it affordable to be able to juice wheatgrass at home, or on the go.

Black & Decker JE2100 10-Ounce Fruit-and-Vegetable Juice Extractor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I could not bring myself to pay the prices for the expensive juicers when it seems that they all work the same way. What I like about this juicer is: 1) it works, 2) it's small, 3) if I break it I will not be out for a hundred or more dollars. Juicing is fast and simple. Another reviewer says you aren't getting all of the juice from the pulp. My observation is that my pulp is very dry: I suggest you feed the pieces as directed. And remove veins from your celery. Another reviewer said that when you lift out the screen assembly, stuff falls out. Actually, the screen collar housing is easy to remove and it brings out the screen at the same time. The collar has a lip that catches everything. The screen is hard to clean, but that's true on every juicer. Get a small nylon brush with soft, long bristles too large to get stuck in the holes, and be patient. I found it takes 5 minutes to clean up the entire unit and put the pieces on the dish rack to dry. Another reviewer said that the pulp exit gets clogged and the motor might slow down. This is also my experience, specifically with carrots. When you notice this happening, turn off, remove the cover, and use a finger to clear the blockage and to scoop any lingering chunks from the screen, then put the cover back on and keep going. This takes 20 seconds, it's not a big deal. I like this unit for quick personal juicing and I will be keeping it. March 2011 update: If you "pulse" the carrots by tapping them down in stages rather than pushing them straight through, very little pulp gets caught in the hood!

Equipped with a 400-watt motor, this powerful juice extractor quickly converts fresh fruits and vegetables into healthy, all-natural, pulp-free juice--a delicious alternative to store-bought varieties that often come laden with artificial sugar and preservatives. The unit can juice up to 10 ounces (300 ml) in a matter of minutes. Its durable blade breaks down the fibers, sending pure juice through the stainless-steel strainer, out the spout, and into the included juice cup. Pulp collects in a container in the back. Compost the pulp or, better yet, use it to flavor soups, sauces, breads, cakes, and more. Other thoughtful design details include simple one-handed operation, a clear cover for viewing the process from start to finish, three-way automatic shutoff with an anti-drip system, and convenient cord storage. In a compact size that takes up minimal space on the counter, the juice extractor measures 9 by 6 by 11-2/7 inches.
