Review on Hamilton Beach 67608 Big Mouth Juice Extractor: Premium Stainless Steel (Discontinued) for Large Batches of Fresh Juice! by Sean Andrews

I've just launched this juicer and I'm not disappointed! It's definitely no frills and basic, that's true, but it was exactly what I was looking for. Before investing big bucks in an expensive brand, I wanted to see if I would use the juicer enough to justify the cost. Needless to say, I'm so pleased with it that I have no plans to replace it any time soon. It's easy to use, amazingly durable, and bigger than I thought it would be. I almost immediately squeezed about ten ponds of carrots - the engine just blew through them, clean and easy. I added a Golden Delicious apple to the batch for natural sweetening and it was delicious. I have to say that even the PULSE was delicious! I saved some and chilled in the fridge for some sort of appetizer like carrot and apple sauce. I also added some to a vegetarian lentil soup I made - yum! And here's a little secret from a man of Italian descent - I mixed a little carrot paste into the pasta sauce to soften the astringency of the tomatoes. I usually add some beef and/or pork to sweeten it, but one of my daughters is a vegetarian so I use carrots instead when she comes over to eat pasta. The pulp works great! It blends well and smoothly and it's very easy to control the amount you use. I haven't had a chance to juice other fruits or veggies yet, but I will. In short I thought it was worth the money, especially compared to some other expensive brands. I'm glad I took the risk!
