Driven by a 60-watt motor, this powerful citrus juicer delivers an unlimited amount of juice directly into a container through an antidrip spout. If you need to interrupt the juice flow, the spout snaps into a locked position. Easy to clean, the juicer is made of hard, gleaming plastic and comes with a clear plastic dust cover to protect the juicing cone. With the dust cover in place, the juicer stands 9 inches high and is 6-1/2 inches in diameter. --Fred Brack ... Read more

Review from a fresh orange juice addict!
For the last 30 years, I squeeze a glass of Orange Juice in the morning. I don't drink coffee but this juice gives me that extra lift in the morning. I have owned most brands of personal juicers that there is. I really do consider myself an expert when it comes to selecting oranges to the kind of juicer. This has been my baby for several years. Its is easy to clean and gives me a bit of the pulp that is necessary for that vitamin nutrition. I have found this is the best for ease of use and, dang,like the everready battery, this thing keeps on ticking. It runs after all these years the same as when I first bought it. If your thinking of buying a personal juicer, save yourself the experimenting and go for this one...no kidding, it is the best, could have given it 10 stars but they just didn't have it!

good news/bad news
First the good news:

- Like the really high end juicers, this juicer is continuous flow: no more stopping to empty a tiny little shallow container, or spilling one all over yourself on the way to the table.

- There are only two parts that get messy, and they're both really easy to clean (but not dishwasher safe, unfortunately)

- (Most important) According to customer service, the plastic cone and cup are made out of polypropylene. Unlike ABS, polycarbonate, or vinyl, polypro doesn't leech into acidic food.

Then, the bad news:

- The motor is weak enough to stall on large oranges, expecially if they're old and a little dry.

- The motor doesn't autoreverse, so you leave lots of pulp behind.

- The spout is about an eighth of an inch too low to put a pyrex one quart measuring cup under (bummer).

- The continuous-flow spout looks like a lesson in bad iterative design. Because of the way pulp is caught, the spout dribbles for about a minute after juicing has stopped (big deal - this is what saucers are for). So, the designers decided to make the spout flip up to stop the dribble. Then, to stop juice from going around the edges of the spout, they made the juice come out of a tiny little juice hole onto the spout, and put a little rubber button on the spout to plug the tiny little juice hole. It works: when the spout is flipped up the juicer doesn't leak. But when the spout is flipped down, the pulp clogs around the button and the hole.

This juicer is still worth buying if you don't want to spend the bucks for a higher-end continuous juicer. You'll have to unclog it after every five or six oranges, though, so if you were planning on bulk juicing, or have a large family, you probably want to buy one of the more expensive ones.

Awesome, truly awesome
I bought this because of a referral by Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa on Food Network) and after reading the reviews of previous buyers. This is one of the best appliance purchases I have ever made. Simple cleaning is an understatement, there is virtually no cleanup. I pull off the top, rinse it and go! Thanks so much for making my juicing so simple!!

Does what it's supposed to...
I'm very happy with this juicer. It's very easy to use and easy to clean. It's not too loud or too big. I'd recommend it.

Great value!
I too bought this based on the recommendation by Ina Garten. What a great kitchen appliance. I use lots of lemons and this baby gets all the juice out, and fast.
Easy to clean, easy to use, efficient and inexpensive...what more could anyone want from a juicer. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Designed with ease of use and storage in mind, this juicer's pieces fit together like a Chinese puzzle--it takes up minimal space on the counter, and it's a breeze to assemble and disassemble. It also makes great juice, extracting every drop and leaving the pulp very dry; the container includes a special foam strainer, so when you pour out your juice, it's clear and unblemished. The feeding tube is small, but I liked it, because it forces you to cut smaller chunks, presenting less chance of jamming the machine. And the top of the juicer converts to a handy feeding tray. The only problem you'll have with this machine is deciding what you want to juice next--I suggest slices of Gala apple and fresh pineapple, with a smidgen of ginger. --C. Whitney-Ward ... Read more

I would like to hug the designer
Each morning when I use this amazing and beautiful machine, I am in awe of the design and the workmanship. Everyone I know who uses a juicer for healthful vegetable juice complains about the pain they have in storing the huge thing and cleaning it. But not me...I make my juice each morning as recommended by Dr. Andrew Weil and have NO TROUBLE at all. This machine is strong and small and pretty and easy and dependable. Braun people....thank you. This is the best deal anyone can get.

The best juicer for the Serious Juicer and Everyday Joe!!
I am a juicing fanatic! So naturally I wanted to try all of the juicers and comparison shop before I bought my own. I must say, the Braun Juice Extractor takes the cake! Here's why:

1. This Juicer is easy to assemble: the Juiceman Jr always was difficult to connect all of the parts together.

2. This Juicer is easy to DISassemble: Trying to take the rotating mesh blade off of the Juiceman Jr is a pain (and can be painfull!)

3. The design is VERY spacesaving and ergonomically correct: The Juiceman Jr has a large, unnatached bin and normal glass that doesn't fit or store well with the juicer unit. The Braun Juice Extractor however, fits together in all one base unit, and even the pouring bin that recieves the juice snuggly fits against the juicer unit.

4. The REALLY cool foam strainer: This is the best part! If you've ever juiced, you know what a pain the foam at the top is! You can't get rid of the foam without actually straining it or scooping it away; you can kiss that foam goodbye with the strainer!

5. The detachable tray at the top allows you to hold your fruit and veggies without messing up other bowls and cutting boards.

6. It's just better that all the rest! Try it, and I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!

the perfect juicer
The design of this juicer is pure excellence. Very attractive, light, and compact, it takes up less space than any of the others I've seen, and the ease of cleaning it makes me not mind using it 3 or 4 times a day; and it is the thoroughness of the cleaning that puts this machine way above the the rest. I have owned other juicers, and ended up throwing them away, because of the nooks and crannies that were impossible to get to, and accumulated "suspicious substances". Usually the juice spout was the problem area, and in this case, it is short and open, giving you easy access for cleaning.

Quick to take apart and assemble, with it's handy "filling tray" and cup with foam separator, it has a slot for cord storage, and though it does make a noise while proccessing, it doesn't sound like a sand blaster, as some others do.
As much as I like the terrific Braun blender I bought a few months ago, I'm equally pleased with this. Juicing gives you the most nutrition for the least amount of stress on your digestive system, so it's a great way to get your enzymes, minerals and vitamins, and this is by far the best and simplest machine to get those precious liquids from.

Too much pulp in the juice. Please reconsider before buying!
Produces sooooo much pulp that it simply plops down into the juice cup. Simply awful! I had to STRAIN it every time (unless you enjoy 'thick', 'soupy' juice, of course). Pulp is completely wet. Basically, waste of money both - on the juicer and the amount of veggies used to produce tiny cup of thick, pulpy juice. Wish, I'd known what I know now before buying.

Fan is the weak point
I checked out all the previous reviews when I was buying my juicer, and noted that two people complained about fan blades breaking off.

So I checked mine when it arrived, and it had two blades missing. It was still supposed to work, but when I turned it on, the missing blades massacred the remaining standing. So now its fan was without blades at all, and the juicer wouldn't even start any more.

I am returning it to Amazon, thanks to them that they refund the shipping. However, my girlfriend has owned the exact same brand for five years and it's been perfect for her. So I am probably ordering a replacement.

Judging on lauding reviews and the Braun reputation, it must be a good product, just check for the fan on the bottom panel of the juicer when it arrives, to make sure all the blades are there. ... Read more
