Overview
The Big Boss 8962 is an electric citrus juicer with a 5-cup capacity, a motorized reverse-action extractor, and a strainer that separates seeds and pulp as juice collects in a clear pitcher. It suits anyone juicing citrus by hand regularly who wants a lower-effort countertop alternative.
The juicing cone activates only under medium pressure and reverses direction on a second push to pull more juice from the same half, a detail reviewers had to learn through trial since the packaging explains little. Owners consistently praise how little there is to assemble or clean, though a couple found the motor too weak for repeated grapefruit and one reported the plastic threads stripping after light use.
- 5-cup capacity
- Removable, dishwasher-safe parts
- Reverse-action extractor
- Built-in strainer and pitcher
Who it's for
Suits one or two people juicing oranges, lemons and limes at home who want a quiet, low-maintenance machine. Not for anyone juicing grapefruit in volume or expecting commercial-grade durability.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Most reviewers call it easy to use and clean, with several saying it outperforms hand-juicing on both speed and yield. Complaints center on grapefruit-sized fruit throwing juice onto the counter and, in one case, a weak motor that stripped its plastic threads after only a few lemons.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Minimal assembly and dishwasher-safe parts
- Reverse function extracts extra juice from each half
- Good size for one or two people
Performance notes
Pressing the fruit onto the cone engages the motor; pressing again reverses the cone's rotation to pull additional juice from the same half. The strainer catches seeds and pulp as juice drains straight into the clear pitcher base, which doubles as a serving container.
