Hamilton Beach Juicer - HealthSmart Review

The Bottom Line
Save money, enjoy what juicing can do for you! This does it all as the big boys state at 1/4 the price!

Full ReviewAfter killing a $65 Philips Juice Extractor in under a month (its motor burned up after juicing 3 carrots, 3 stalks of celery & half a beet). For the Body Detoxifyer - YUM!

WalMart was advertising it & I waited over a week to find one in stock. I am glad I kept up my vigil! This is one great unit for $35.

Looks just like & works like the Juiceman Jr ($65 at WalMart). Very easy to take apart to clean & easily reassembles to juice again.

Used a toothbrush to clean the shredder basket from the pulp that stuck to it. But once it is in the top shelf of the dishwasher, tho the instructions tell you not to do it, it came out perfect.

The feeder tube is larger than the Philips that had me slicing carrots in half, celery in thirds, and if I want to slice & dice than forget jucing - eat the salad!

Amazing that you can drink 15 servings of fruits & veggies in 3 8 oz glasses. The container is 20 oz so plenty to share or guzzle yourself.

It is noisy, what extractor isn't, if it has power. Juiceman beats it in the major noise category, but the speed of juicing everything I put in it makes for a very quick session.

So save yourself $200, buy the $7 Juiceman book at the book store & get this juice extractor. Then find a good produce seller & load up since you can empty a fridge drawer in record time when you taste what juiced veggies & fruit taste like compared to eating it all.

BUT PEEL ORANGES, GRAPEFRUITS & ANY RIND FRUITS FIRST! YUK what rind taste like!!!!

Try a Kiwi-Apple combo after mowing the lawn in 80+ heat.
You will thank me ;-)

Unfortunately the shredder device clumps the "garbage" that isn't juice all over it that is hard to clean up,  Even a brush doesn't work.  Every other parts clean easily.
