Cuisinart Pulp Control Citrus Juicer, Orange Juicer Squeezer and Lemon Squeezer with 3 Pulp Control Settings, Accommodates Small Limes and Large Grapefruits, CCJ-500P1, Black/Stainless Steel

Love this juicer. It's small, inexpensive and works great, easy to use. I'm very happy with it.

Terrific citrus juicer! I had a hankering for fresh OJ this week and bought this on a whim. The price is right and I used it as soon as it arrived. It worked well, was not too noisy and cleaned up very easily. It's plenty powerful enough to get every drop. This would work really well on lemons and with grapefruits, I would think you'd just have to move the half around a bit to get all the areas. You have to pop the spout down to get the juice to flow, and I think some of the bad reviewers here didn't figure that out. Popped up and it holds the juice in a reservoir. Pretty handy. I'm not a huge fan of plastic, but I see no other way this can be produced at this price. Overall, a well-spent $30.

Too much pressure can make it stall but works well. I Wouldn’t mind allowing pulp in the juice without spooning it out. Cleaning would be easier also if the pulp were in the juicing.

Before I actually saw a citrus juicer in action on TV, I always thought that they were for lazy people who didn't want to juice their own lemons. I was wrong. I bought this juicer after watching the Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network use it in almost every episode, and now I know why. Let me just lay out the benefits of using an electric citrus juicer as opposed to using a wooden reamer. First of all, if you need to measure out a precise amount of citrus juice for a recipe, it is much easier to put a measuring cup under the plastic snap-up spout of the electric juicer rather than trying to aim into the measuring cup using a wooden reamer. Second, electric juicers get so much more juice out of citrus fruits than a regular lemon squeezer. The Cuisinart citrus juicer automatically switches the direction of the reamer to get the most out of the citrus. Another benefit of electric juicers is the fact that when you are using an electric juicer citrus juice won't squirt into your eyes as does a manual juicer. Also, the Cuisinart features a unique "Final-Spin" feature similar to that in a clothes washing machine. How the final-spin feature works is that once you take the empty citrus off of the reamer, you press the clear plastic lid down onto the juicer which makes the reamer spin really fast and uses centrifugal force to squeeze all the juice out of the remaining pulp. You just can't do that with a wooden reamer. Another benefit of the Cuisinart juicer is that it filters out the pulp. Most if not all electric citrus juicers have this feature, however, most manual juicers don't. Also, with the Cuisinart, every removable part is dishwasher safe which is very convenient for cleaning. I mentioned the snap-up spout earlier in this review but I didn't explain what it was. Basically, the snap-up spout stops the juice from getting on your countertop which is especially useful if you don't want lemon juice all over your counters. The Cuisinart juicer features a stainless steel body which looks very nice and will definitely last a long time. A lot of electric juicers' motors are very loud, but that isn't the case with the Cuisinart. The Cuisinart isn't that loud and won't interrupt normal conversations. Overall, electric citrus juicers offer many benefits over manual juicers, and if you are willing to purchase one I would fully recommend the Cuisinart for it's final spin feature and it's stainless steel body. Pros: - Unique "final-spin" feature - Stainless steel body - Snap-up spout - Quieter than most electric citrus juicers - Pulp-control Cons: - None If you found this review helpful I would appreciate it if you clicked the "helpful" button below this review. Thanks!

I use this juicer almost daily and really like it. The pulp control is great, the noise level is minimal, and it works well for oranges and lemons. It’s much faster than juicing by hand, which is why I reach for it so often. Everything comes apart easily, making cleanup simple. If you like fresh juice or add lemon to your water daily, this is a solid, no-frills juicer to have.

Nice juicer; simple to use for small, short juicing jobs.

Within it’s class of budget priced juicers you may well not do better than this! I tend to trust Cuisinart products... they’ve rarely let me down and this is no exception. TIP: I harvest bags of lemons at a time, juice them and freeze in ice cube trays for later use. Once frozen, I pop the cubes out into a gallon sized freezer ziplock bag and keep it in the freezer. I pull out as many cubes as I need for any particular dish. With this juicer I was able to get two full cups of high pulp juice from eight average sized lemons. This is precisely what is required to fill one standard ice cube tray. I was incredibly impressed with how the juicer literally cleaned the halves completely, right down to only leaving the peel and segment husks! (se my photo above). The reverse feature that extracts every last drop is fantastic! Key points: 1.) This a motor ASSISTED juicer! You will still exert some effort keeping the citrus half centered on the reamer while exuding downward pressure. 2.) There is some noise from the motor (as expected), nothing to be overly concerned about 3.) The unit can move some during the operation, especially when you’re exerting more pressure to one side of the reamer or the other. Easy fix for me was to place it on my countertop wooden cutting board. Another idea would be to place it on your counter directly, but with the addition of an appropriate sized piece of non skid, webbed shelf liner underneath (or any non skid material). Just keep it stored with your juicer and you’ll never have a worry. 4.) It’s worth mentioning that clean-up is a breeze! Just rinse well and drip dry the parts before putting it all away. With a small footprint and a dust cover, it stores conveniently anywhere. Ditto if you leave it out for daily use, it’s reasonably sized plus has the standard good looks of all Cuisinart products. 5.) I highly value having the various pulp settings... although I usually prefer ‘high pulp’, having the options are nice. Note: You will get a few smaller seeds that slip through the high pulp setting, but they usually float and are easily skimmed off using a tablespoon. No biggie... and not the fault of the juicer! It’s just the price you pay when you want all that yummy pulp! That’s it! Hope this helps you make your decision and gives you an idea for uses! 🍋🍊🍋🍊🍋🍊

I’ve never written a product review before, but I just had to share my experience. I have an orange tree over two stories tall, and every year I let hundreds of oranges go to waste because I don’t eat them—they just fall to the ground for the gardeners to clean up. This year, determined not to be wasteful and as a big fan of orange juice, I bought a juicer. I trust Cuisinart products, and for lemons and limes, this juicer is fantastic—clean, effective, and fast. My fridge is stocked with mason jars of fresh lemon and lime juice for recipes. But when it comes to oranges, this machine struggles. If you have a big job, invest in a heavy-duty or commercial-grade model. The pulp control doesn’t work (or maybe my oranges are extra pulpy), and even on the low pulp setting, you still need a fine strainer. You can only juice two or three oranges before stopping to clean it, and the pulp goes everywhere—on the counters, into the food compactor, even under your nails if you have long ones. Straining is messy and time-consuming. Still, I’m glad I bought the juicer, glad I’m collecting oranges daily, and thrilled to enjoy the best fresh-squeezed orange juice from my tree planted in 1975. There’s truly nothing like it.

Most important. It’s quiet. You can make juice while people sleep. It’s not that loud. A gentle whirl hum. Cleaning is okay. Just take the time to get the hang on how to rinse. Stop. Check. Rinse. So that you don’t miss a spot. The tray is black. It does make it hard to see pulp stuck on. Always wash it right away as soon as you are done making juice. Takes maybe 40-70 seconds. Everything comes apart one handed. And washing it is easy and quick Doesn’t require much strength to operate. Does oranges limes lemons grapefruit and anything else really that’s pulpy and round. You could probably juice Pomegranate too if you tried😆 You do need to scoop out the pulp every so often. Either into your cup or trash. If you’re juicing more than 2 fruits as the tray doesn’t let through all the pulp even on the largest setting. You’ll find the tray collects a lot of juice. You can also use the spin cycle and reduce the juice in the tray before squeezing more if you don’t want to wash a spoon etc. Juice stays cold during squeezing.

The one I received was faulty - I was able to return it and received a refund.

Es un exprimidor bastante útil , justo lo que necesitaba, me hace el trabajo de exprimir mis cítricos más fácil, le saca el jugo a las naranjas hasta la última gota, ya que gira en los dos sentidos, la limpieza del exprimidor es muy sencilla, ya que el desensamble y ensamble es muy simple, además la marca Cuisinart es muy confiable y recomendable.

El exprimidor es muy bonito además que cumple perfectamente su función!! Casi no hace ruido al utilizarlo, no se calienta demasiado el motor y me encanta usarlo pues es fácil de lavar. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. Lo recibimos en un par de días pues estábamos en Chiapas pero llegó sin problemas y cuando dijeron que lo entregarían.

This is my second juicer of this kind. The first one I bought 7/8 ish years ago! I juice a lot of lemons so it’s not used everyday, more like once a month. I think it’s super easy to use and easy to clean. Works great for what I need it for.
