Mecity Small Cold Press Juicer Slow Masticating Juicer For Vegetable and Fruits, Pure Juice No Pulp, 120V, Silvery

I bought a Tribest Shine XL juicer recently. It’s great, but due to user error (aka I’m an idiot) it’s broken and on its way back to Tribest for repair. So, I grabbed this super inexpensive juicer to hold me over. Used it this morning and I juiced: ginger, turmeric, spinach, apples, carrots, grapefruit, cucumber and wheat grass. Everything juiced great. You do need to cut things small or skinny enough to get caught by the auger, as opposed to putting large things in juicers w hoppers. It did the spinach well, make sure not to pack it in too tight or the machine won’t be able to turn the leaves, don’t forget to use your reverse button it helps. Ginger and turmeric both juiced well, but eventually clogged the pulp shoot so do those last unless you want to clean the machine during the session. The machine is also a little slow, but it is REALLY quiet, like really quiet. the machine is also really small which is nice, I could see traveling w this if needed. Depending on how much you’re juicing (and assuming you want 2-3 juices or shots a day) you can probably do batch juicing for 1-2 days worth. Anything more than that would be pretty time consuming and I believe tax the motor, which is only supposed to run for 10 consecutive minutes. It’s also, super easy to clean. I had a Hamilton Beach years ago and got rid of it bc it was so hard to get the screen clean. This machine cleans w just a rinse, except for turmeric and ginger which take more time. Also the turmeric oil builds up on the auger etc. and needs to be scrubbed w hot water and soap. I didn’t have that problem w the Tribest, turmeric washed right off. The quality of the juice is really tasty and fresh. If you need a really low cost machine this seems to be a good one. If I haven’t updated this review, assume the machine has continued to work well.

I got this juicer specifically to juice cabbage to treat my ulcers. I needed something relatively small, easy to clean, and powerful enough to juice an insane amount of cabbage without breaking. It's been over a month of daily use (juicing about half a cabbage every day) and so far it's held up great. Here are some general tips after a month of use: I have noticed that at times, you do need to slow down to let the unit catch up. This makes sense seeing as it's a masticating juicer, but if you're used to one of the larger quick ones, you may need to adjust. I think it's worth it to retain more of the nutrition value. If you see that it's building up inside and you need to use the pushing tool, wait a bit and give it a little time to catch up before adding more fruit/veggies/whatever. If you notice that the leftover bits of whatever you're juicing are coming out really wet, use the reverse function. It allows it to reset and seems to help it do a better job of getting more juice out. This is perfect as a one person juicer. If you're trying to make enough juice for multiple people, you probably need to look elsewhere at larger units, or plan to give this unit a break in between. Probably a no brainer, but definitely clean it right after using it! It's super easy to clean but would undoubtedly turn into a sticky nightmare if left sitting on the counter for a while afterward. Overall this juicer is exactly what I needed and it's done a great job. It's small enough that it would be easy to take with you if you're traveling, and it's held up well over the last month. I plan to keep juicing cabbage every day while my ulcers continue healing, so if it ends up dying or something, I'll update this review to let you know.

This is the first masticating juicer I've used. I had previously used the centrifugal type juicer and it was a pain in the butt to clean because of all of the parts, the disassembly and reassembly, so I stopped using that kind. This one is pretty easy to clean and reassemble. The only issue so far is that the pulp still seems to have some amount of juice still in it, so that's not ideal. It is easy to use though. It's not too loud. I don't think you'll wake anyone up but you'll definitely hear it. I use it every couple of days. I'm good with this purchase.

This little juicer works very well. It smashes the fruit without sharp edges that would bruise it. It filter’s out nicely leaving you with quality juice. It is quieter than most juicers and very easy to clean. Four pieces that attach so easy to use as well. Takes up little space. Definitely glad I came across this juicer among many available on here. The fruit should be cut into the entry hole size. The masticating tool works really well at grinding the fruit. Two cups are included, one to catch the pulp which can be used for baking, drying out then grinding. The other cup to catch your juice. This is a wonderful purchase that we are happy with.
