Cuisinart CJE-1000P Die-Cast Juice Extractor

Overview

A kitchen counter with space to leave it out is where this Cuisinart extractor belongs: a die-cast body houses a motor that spins a stainless steel blade to separate juice from vegetables, lemons and oranges, with push buttons stepping through its speeds.

Power and a range of speeds are the case for this extractor, letting a cook slow down for soft fruit and speed up for dense vegetables. Weight is the limitation, since the die-cast body makes it a machine to station rather than carry out of a cupboard. The care instructions list both dishwasher safe and hand wash only, so check which parts apply.

Who it's for

Daily juicers who want speed settings for different produce and a long warranty behind the motor are the audience. The machine stays out because of its weight. Someone after a cold-press or slow juicer, or a compact unit for a small kitchen, should look at a different style.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

A centrifugal extractor relies on blade speed to fling juice out of the pulp, so the lower settings suit soft fruit that would otherwise foam and the higher settings drive through dense roots. Motor wattage governs whether the blade holds its speed under a full chute of hard produce, and the stepped control lets the cook match speed to what is being fed.
