Mueller Austria Juicer Machine Extractor with Slow Cold Press Masticating Squeezer Mechanism Technology 3 Chute Accepts Whole Fruits

First of all the best thing about this product is the amount of juice you get out of it. The leftover fruit/vegatable mulch is practically dry.. And the juice tastes great. I know there's some write up on how this method produces nutritionally better juice or some such - not sure about that, but it certainly produces a lot of tasty juice. When reading other reviews on Amazon for this product I did see some complaining that this juicer is hard to clean . . . I can only assume they have never owned another juicer. This is by far the easiest clean of any juicer I have used ( I have used 4 others over the years). Cleaning is relatively simple and quick. If you have never had a juicer before then you should know that the cleaning process after use is generally the most annoying and time consuming - which remains the case with this one. its just a faster and easier then the others I have used in the past. Otherwise you should know that the aperature you put the fruit into I would class as medium sized - you have to half a smaller apple or quarter a larger apple to fit it. Hmmm - trying to think of what else to say. Easy to use, makes a lot of good juice, easier to clean then any other juicer I have used. That about sums it up. Oh and the price is pretty decent too.

So the machine arrive today and then minutes it was put together and ready for juicing. It made very good juice and it was not nearly as slow as other masticating juicer is I've used. I used apples, carrots, celery, and some kale. The machine performed well though some of the parts are small and delicate and this made me a little concerned about long-term durability and reliability. Well that's not going to be an issue because the machine is going back. The problem showed itself when it became time to clean the machine. I don't know who designed this but it was almost as if they specifically made it impossible to get clean. There are small narrow channels cracks and crevice is that the fiber gets all jammed up in there and it's almost impossible to reach these areas and clean it all out. I spent 15 minutes prepping and preparing juice in over two hours cleaning the machine afterwards. This process was absurdly ridiculous. It is clear nobody works on this machine is ever had to clean it or they would've insisted on some design changes. If I didn't know better I would think they made it difficult to clean on purpose because they could've done a better job engineering this thing to be frustrating if they tried. Any of the other one into star reviews cover the specifics of how difficult this thing is to clean so I will spare you the details but echo their sentiments. You really don't want to buy this machine. Read more

My first foray into a juicer was with a locally sourced (Wally World cough cough), centrifugal juicer with actually good reviews. However, the appliance was extremely noise and started spraying juice all over the place after just a couple of uses. So back to the store it went. I did some more research and found this juicer at a sales price and decided to try it out. It arrived quickly and I tried it out very soon after a thorough cleaning. Cleaning is easy but definitely not quick! The parts come apart easily, there are no sharp blades, edges or corners to be careful with, and some of the parts can be cleaned nicely with the included brush. The slow speed of the masticating mechanism creates some noise but it is nothing compared to the turbine noise created by centrifugal juicers. The pulp is very dry so I assume most of the juice is extracted efficiently. There is still some small pulp in the juice, which I personally like, but it is minimal. I've used a number of fruits and vegetables so far and the order in which I put them in affected the efficiency of the juicing process. I like to "flush" fruits with peel (like apples and pears) and fibrous fruits like mangoes and pineapples with oranges. Mangoes and pineapples seem to be more likely to clog the metal sieve. My kids enjoy the juice a lot, so do I, so it's a win-win! Read more

Bought this for wheatgrass but barely any juice from a whole tray of homegrown. The juice always comes out from the pulp chute first everytime for some reason until pulp clogs it up. Does Soft fruits and vegetables great but harder ones need to be cut into smaller pieces. Harder types tend to have dryer pulp than the soft which come out pretty wet for some. Relatively easy to assemble but theres couple rubber pieces that needs to be removed to cleaned and remember to put back when it dries or it will leak. Cleaning the pulp out of the tiny chute is a pain and nearly impossible if it gets clogged up. The screen on the other hand is impossible to get fully cleaned no matter how much you scrub it. The fiber will cling to the mesh screen on first use. Read more

All together this is a great product! Really easy to put together, take apart, and the cleaning time is pretty short. The only thing I wasn’t happy with was the amount of debris in the juice. I have to strain it a second time when it’s done to make sure it’s all juice. But, if you like some of the finer/pulp/debris in your juice, which I enjoy sometimes too, it’s perfect! Again, I’m pretty happy with this for a novice juicer like myself. Read more

This slow juicer is actually quite efficient. The juice lasts for 2-3 days so it’s nice to make large batches. It takes some paying attention to put the basket together but once you’ve done it 2-3x it becomes very easy to put together. The amount of juice that’s extracted from the produce is amazing - so so so much more than my Sharper Image juicer. In a way I’m saving a lot of money since I’m getting what seems to be almost twice as much juice out of my produce. I like making large batches of juice and saving it in an air tight container like a mason jar with a lid. Then I only have to clean the juicer as I make juice every 2-3 days. Clean up takes about 15 minutes. I recommend dumping the vegetable fiber and waste in a composte pile or in your toilet - it helps keep your food trash from smelling extra ripe! Read more
