Juice Extractor Recipes 2013
My wife and I have been using this juicer on a
regular basis for a few months now, so we have good idea of what it can
do. This is a good juicer for semi-regular use making quantities of a
quart or less. We ask a lot of our juicer making four or five quarts at
a time a couple of times a week. After about four months of regular
use, we've noticed that the cutter/basket is getting a little dull, so
we aren't getting as much juice from our produce, and it doesn't cut as
quickly. The good news is that replacement baskets are only $12 on the
Hamilton Beach website. This compares to around $50 to replace the
Breville equivalent part. The bad news is that I just went to order a
couple and they were out of stock, so I'm stuck with the dull one for
now. For this reason I'm giving four stars instead of five. I may
change that to three if they don't get the cutter/baskets back in stock
soon. Update: The Hamilton Beach website now has them in stock. I
ordered two and they were quickly delivered.

We've notice the following about using the unit: If you plan to do larger quantities, you might want to consider a more upscale unit. Depending on what you are juicing, you'll usually need to clean the cutter/basket to maintain efficiency after a quart or two. After that the screen tends to get clogged and you'll loose some juice into the pulp bin. Apples, cucumbers and the like do fine without clogging the screen, so I start with those. I'll do the carrots last since the pulp seals the little holes in the screen pretty quickly. Pineapple and ginger fibers seem to get caught in the cutting teeth, so I also do these at the end. The top also slowly fills up with pulp, and you'll need to clean it to keep going after a couple of quarts of juice making. Read more ›Juice Extractor Recipes 2013
