Cuisinart CJE-2000 Juice Extractor and Citrus Juicer

Overview

Swapping attachments on one slip-proof base turns the Cuisinart from a centrifugal juice extractor into a push-activated citrus reamer. The extractor shreds produce on a grinding disk and filters pulp through a micro-mesh basket, while the citrus cone reams fruit down to the rind.

Two juicing styles share one motor base, so a small kitchen gets whole fruit juice and fresh citrus without a second appliance. The centrifugal extractor works quickly on firm produce. Leafy greens and wheatgrass are not named in its recommended uses.

Who it's for

Households with limited counter room that squeeze citrus often and juice firm produce occasionally get two tools in one footprint. Dedicated green juice drinkers should look at a slow press design instead.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Extractor output depends on the grinding disk shredding produce against the spinning micro-mesh basket, which flings juice outward and holds back pulp and peel. Citrus yield comes from pressure on the push-activated cone, with automatic reverse and a final spin pulling the last juice from the rind. The pulp settings decide how much fiber reaches the glass.
