Hamilton Beach 67800H Juice Extractor

My old reliable juicer crapped out on me one afternoon in the middle of juicing...had the poor dear for nearly 15 years and it cost only $50, back in the day!

Anyway...I popped into the local Wal-mart and found this one. Thought it would be okay (great price $30) but have cursed the day since.

My pulp to juice ratio is very high. My old juicer would squeeze every ounce of fluid from 4 small apples...with this one I had to juice 10 large red delicious just to get CLOSE to the output from my old machine.

And the pulp, OY, the pulp! I use a glass, half gallon container and, I kid you not, the pulp takes up well over HALF of the container.

I have reached the point of having to clean out the strainer after each fruit/veggie I juice, to make sure the fluid flows properly. AND I've taken to squeezing the pulp in the basket and other parts through cheese cloth just to get the right amount of juice I should be getting...Read more

I just bought this juicer and now I'm on my way to return it. I find that it wastes way too much produce, and the juice that is produced is thick and foamy. If you want real juice, don't waste your money here...

Don't buy this, don't buy this, dooooooon't buuuyyyy this!!! o_o

This is the first juicer I purchased ever, so when I found all the juice leaking out everywhere, all the fruit being wasted, and the iddy biddy amount of juice that I made after 2-3 hours of juicing, I thought that maybe all juicers sucked. But no, luckily, it's just this one, and yes, it DOES suck. badly.

I made about 2 glasses of juice from about 10 pounds of fruit. the juice from the juicer just happened to leak out and fall into the cup, the rest of the juice that should have went into the cup was leaking and oozing out of the top of the pul container. This was also very difficult to clean and terribly noisy.
