BUY IT YOU'LL LOVE IT - JUICE FOR THE HEALTH OF IT!
By BulkBuyer on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2014
This my first juicer and I searched all over the Internet for one. Not knowing if this was going to be a passing phase of become an everyday lifestyle change, I decided to buy one around $100.00, juice it to death and buy a more expensive one when the time came.I've been making smoothies forever with a Nutribullet using greens, but wanted to get into juicing. As with most everyone, I watched the movie "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" by Joe Cross. I don't need to lose weight, am already Vegan, just wanted to go the extra mile.I chose this model and couldn't be happier. It's easy to put together, easy to clean, big, and my pulp is dry! I have tried putting my pulp through a second time just to see if anything else would come through, but maybe only a dribble - not worth the trouble.I LOVE the dial and if you READ the instructions, you'll see that different fruits and veggies require different settings to get the most juice. A cucumber uses #1, oranges #2, carrots, apples #5. At first I wanted to crank it up to #5 and put them all through - don't do this.I was and cut up all my ingredients first. I set the dial and put the fruits and veggies in according to the settings. I get the best juice ever. I usually make two 32oz juices per day, Joe's Mean Green as my morning juice.The filter basket is hard for me to get off, but easy for me to clean. I clean the outside with a different, larger kitchen brush, rinse that side, then brush the inside of the filter basked with soap, rinse and it's perfectly clean. All other pieces are so easy to rinse and clean. Do not scrub the plastic as you will scratch it.The machine is loud, but that doesn't bother me one bit. The Cuisinart CJE-1000 is heavy duty, won't operate without the clasp on, so easy to use, looks great on my counter, affordable and a fantastic choice. The feeding tube is huge and you won't believe how many whole apples, oranges, cucumbers will go right in.This purchase has not made this a passing phase, but a daily addition to an already healthy lifestyle. I'm 62 and going strong!

Not Exciting
By Politicalatro on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2012
So after about a month of research I selected the Cuisinart CJE-1000 as my juicer of choice. It had variable speeds a powerful motor and pretty good reviews most importantly though it was a pretty good deal. Got it and immediately opened it and washed everything. It was easy to take apart and put together. Went ahead and juiced my first veggies and fruits. It did a fairly good job overall; pears, apples, oranges, broccoli, asparagus and some cucumber. Pulp was a bit wetter than what I had hoped but wasn't really disappointed in the performance. Made juice a few times over the course of three days and the cleaning of the unit was easy and not very time consuming. The reason I only have given the machine three stars is because of the performance when it came to spinach and pineapple, did very well with romaine lettuce and other citrus. The pulp is extremely wet, even when ran through again, I know a centrifugal juicer isn't going to be the best at these but thought it would have performed better than it has. So overall I'm not disappointed in the performance but not overwhelmed either. We'll see how it goes over the next few weeks and maybe my opinion will change.
