"Hang the Designers!"
A product so bad the manufacturers must have known we would hate it before they ever put it on the shelves. I went back to my manual juicer after investing in this turd. Spills juice on the counter every time you use it, produces half the juice per fruit that I can make by hand, two-handed operation necessary and it's expensive. Mine's under the counter now, maybe someday I'll tear it apart for the motor. So much for your good name, Cuisinart. You knew you were ripping off your customers when you decided to sell this thing, now you never get to peddle me another appliance for as long as I live. Shortsighted of you? Who knows? I'm no marketing scumbag hired to post fake favorable reviews on this site; just another customer dumb enough to believe your brand name still meant quality. Live and Learn. Buyers beware.

"Citrus Juicer"
Great Value. Wish it had more juice storage and retractable cord really is not retractable or stowable. High-speed centrifuge effect is great to extract more juice. Super easy to clean.

"Not Good"
This appliance does not work for several reasons:

1. The spout is too short and your juice almost always spills on the counter.

2. This appliance trips the circuit breaker virtually every time and I have to make sure that I'm juicing near the breaker so that after half piece of fruit I have to reset the switch. This can make squeezing 12 oranges take about 5 minutes.

3. The appliance does not adhere to the counter and can spin out of control at any time. This makes juice fly everywhere.

I cannot emphasize this enough: Not Good.


"What a MESS!!"
I bought this juicer because of the Cuisinart name, for a vacation home, where I wouldn't be using it every day. What a mistake that was! This is a very badly-designed juicer. The feet don't stay put, so you have to hold the juicer with one hand while pressing fruit down on it with the other. The top basket quickly fills up with pulp and seeds and starts to overflow, which then clogs up the miniscule drain hole where the juice is supposed to come out. No juice will come out of the hole, so the container under the pulp basket also starts to overflow! Meanwhile, the reverse mechanism unexpectedly kick in, and jerks the machine left or right, making any flowing juice pour right onto the counter. You need a third hand to get ANY juice at this point, since one hand is holding the juicer from jerking left or right, the other holds the fruit, and you also have to hold a knife or spoon pressed down into the lower container while it runs to push out any juice at all! What a MESS! End result? Very little juice in your glass, most of it either on the counter or your hands or stuck in the top basket with the overflowing pulp. Then the cleanup includes not only the parts of the juicer, but the body and underside of the juicer itself (from all the juice running down it), and about a foot square of the countertop. So sorry I bought this--don't waste your money--buy a Waring juicer--more expensive, but they last forever, are simple to use, and super-easy cleanup.

"It's frustrating to use this juicer"
I had a different juicer before this one and I happily used it for 7 years before it broke. I decided to try this model because of the reputation of the brand and the better look compare to the previous one.
I hate waste but yesterday, after 1 year of frustration every time I used it, it finally ended up in the trash, even if it was still "working". You have to apply a lot of pressure to get any juice out; every other time you press the fruit the juicer spins on itself and the juice ends out on your counter; the spout is very pourly designed, too short so some juice doesn't get in your container even when the juicer doesn't spin in a different position; the spout's release mechanism (in theory you could keep it close and hold the juice) doesn't open properly; this massive juicer has a ridicolously small container to collect the juice and it gets quickly clogged with the pieces of fruit; finally (the minor issue) it's very noisy. It's my first review, and I decided to write it because I appreciate the opportunity of learning from other people's experiences. I hope this helps with your decision.
