Hamilton Beach HJE960 Otto Centrifugal Juice Extractor, Electric, Countertop

This is the part that grinds the food product you insert into the juicer to produce juice. When you are finished using juicer you want to remove strainer and clean the filter. Some users of these juicers will keep two of these on hand, to be able to change food product and not have to clean the first one immediately. This strainer is made out of metal and it is sold individually.

The 3-inch mouth allows you to fit whole or halved fruits and vegetables in, so there’s minimal prep. Sometimes a fresh-pressed juice is just the thing to brighten up a drab fall day. Juicing at home is one way to customize your beverage and save money, but at-home machines can be incredibly daunting. There are so many high-tech options on the market, and they can run upwards of $150. We evaluated how well each juicer did at juicing sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets for this metric. We used an identical set of criteria as the previous metric to score performance, and the Big Mouth again delivered an average performance.

Overall, it’s not the best but usually retails for substantially less than the highest-scoring models. This juicer is a fantastic value, holding its own with models that cost hundreds of dollars more. The Big Mouth does include a cleaning brush, but we didn’t find it to be terribly durable, as it was already starting to lose bristles by the conclusion of our tests. However, the components are safe to clean in the dishwasher, and none had any areas that are a huge pain to wash by hand. This juicer did amazingly well at juicing wheatgrass, earning one of the highest scores of the group and only outperformed by the best products in the lineup. The Big Mouth generated about 4.3mL of juice, well above the 2.5mL average.

Our tests for this category compared the taste, texture, and consistency of three different juice recipes.

The stainless steel micromesh filter strains away pulp and seeds for smooth, nutritious juice every time. What I love most is the 2 speeds that allow you to chop up kale and more hamilton beach coffee grinder fibrous vegetables quicker. I also like the juice collection container is larger and features a froth filter on one side, so all the foam strains away from your finished juice.

The juice extractor comes with a convenient strainer cleaning brush, and the pulp bin, juice bowl, lid and pusher are all dishwasher safe. This countertop electric juicer is constructed in stainless steel, aluminum, and BPA-free parts that are both durable and easy to clean. This genuine OEM sourced replacement part designed for use with Hamilton Beach juice extractors.

Unfortunately, performance dropped considerably when we tried juicing kale in the Big Mouth. Its yield was less than average, but only a minuscule amount of foam was produced. This juicer also struggled with spinach, again having a lower than average yield, but this time producing about an inch of foam. The Big Mouth did much better in our second test, a recipe of romaine lettuce, apples, and oranges. The final drink was mildly pulpy, but overall, it had a great texture and tasted fine. Our third drink for testing combined beetroot, apples, carrots, sweet potatoes, and oranges.

It has much more power and I’m going to share with you how I keep juice longer in your refrigerator so you don’t have to juice as often.
