Krups FSC112 Juice Extractor, Black

This extractor is extremely good at making juice. It's fast and generally produces a good amount of juice relative to the mass of fruit or vegetable going in. Unlike traditional juicers that operate by squeezing the juice out there will be absolutely no pulp in the output, just pure unadulterated juice. This is generally good, although an option for pulpy orange juice would be nice (besides having to scrape the filtered solids - which contain pith and seeds - out of the pulp collector and into the juice). It's really great at some fruits and veggies that traditional juicers can't handle, like carrots, wheat grass, and pomegranate.

If you have a dishwasher I recommend this juicer, assuming you aren't too attached to pulpy juice. If not, only get one if you don't mind spending a lot of time scrubbing. The pulp tends to coat most of the internal workings and is very pasty. It can take a solid 10 minutes to completely wash by hand, which is probably less time than it...Read more

I got mine about a month ago and have been pleasantly surprised by it. Some of the comments on here like "good for folks new to juicing" don't completely stack up, and I don't mean that as against this juicer.

My thoughts:

1. Citrus: it does do it, but I would tell anyone to stick to a citrus juicer for citrus anyway, they really do work better.

2. Pulp: it was not so completely pulp free as some people made it sound in their reviews but it IS very LOW on pulp. I actually find that a good thing because my children often gag on too much pulp from the vegetable matter. It tickles their throats too much.

3. The one that really gets me in the reviews is "will upgrade to something that doesn't waste so much" because this is really a matter of what fruits and veggies you can get and for the cost. There are juicers our there like the VitaMix that pulverize everything into a liquid. Aside from sometimes making some pretty untasty...Read more

This juicer is good, easy to clean, reliable, and "cute" in the kitchen. Its a good starter for those who want to try out juicing. I love mine but will probably upgrade to something that doesn't waste as much of the fruit. But its fully functional, reliable, and worth the price!
