DeLonghi DJE950 Die-cast Juice Extractor



Easy, does it all, great value
The large feeding tube makes this juice extractor easy to use (much less chopping and holds plenty). It's a snap to clean and looks really great on the counter. The best feature though is the amount of juice it actually extracts. The pulp left over is practically dry. This is a top quality product at a great price.

Juice extracted! Dry pulp!
I started juicing with an older proctor Silex and I was having some frustrations. The main one was that it ejected the pulp before the juice was all extracted. It was wasteful. Also, it didn't like harder things like carrots... or leaves like Kale (it was pretty picky actually!... I had to insist a lot!). It was time for a serious upgrade!

I read a lot and I was considering a Breville for a while (which I'm sure are really good!) until I saw this one. I love the way it manages the pulp and you can spin it until it's dry. It's easy to clean, it's powerful and it juiced everything I asked it to! It says it's not made for citrus, but I admit I cheat. I peal my citrus before... (I did Lemon, Grapefruit and Oranges)
I can't imagine that people would try to put the peel in that type of juicer anyway. And I let it go slowly and really I don't see how it can be a problem and it goes right through.

The only thing that can be a bit annoying,..... (Sometimes a...

My Dry Pulp Juicer
This is a serious juicer. I purchased a new juicer because of all the expensive juice that was left in the very wet pulp of my previous centrifugal juicer, even running the pulp through again. With perpendicular sides the DeLonghi's spinning basket holds the pulp until you remove it. It will continue to spin juice out for as long as you leave it spin or until the pulp becomes very dry. While you have to remove the pulp periodically, it is simple by gently pulling up on the pulp "cage" top edge in a few spots to loosen.

The juice from this machine is clearer with less pulp than my previous juicer, probably because it gets filtered through whatever pulp has already accumulated. It is very fast and its large "mouth" allows much larger pieces and even whole moderate size fruit. Easy to clean, but care must be taken when cleaning the strainer basket to not cut or snag something on the shreding blade at its bottom. Cleans easily. This is a powerful machine, and it is heavy.
