Little about me, never "juiced" or really ate a vegetable & I'm in my 40s so I knew I needed do something & the whole vitamin thing can be pretty confusing & I figured why not just go to the source. It does the job & for $40 I can't imagine what justifies one of these over $100. It eats whatever I throw in it. I do broccoli, carrots,sweet potato,apples, pineapples, etc.. no problem. Only minor thing is a tiny amount of veggie gunk sneaks out side lid.. but ehh.. other complaints of cleaning.. I'm like put it in perspective.. your basically preparing a meal & the clean up takes 2 minutes tops. If you cook a meal how long does that take to make let alone clean all the dishes. I use mine daily for months & it's awesome. I wanted to invest a small amount since this was new to me and didn't know if id like it so why buy a expensive one. But I'm completely happy with this. And honestly, after you drink your vegetables.. you feel it.. like a crisp sharpness.. it's crazy.. not to say I still don't eat Doritos and pizza but now this is my daily routine.. and I spend about $7 On fruit and veg and it lasts abiu t 3.5 days.. go buy this!!!

If you are looking for an economical juicer, this is a good one, but if you can afford it (I cannot), I would recommend a more expensive one, or a cold press juicer. I say this only because there is quite a bit of fiber left after juicing with this one, and it's very moist. I feel as if I'm throwing away some good nutrients with the fiber. It does, however, juice very well and gives a good quantity of juice with a minimum amount of veggies and fruits. Extremely easy to clean under the tap with hot running water, but I suggest washing the juicer parts with hot soapy water after use, to avoid any contamination between juicings. Overall, a good juicer for the price.

Good, but just don't get used. This is cheap enough as it already is. When I opened it up I got a nice breath of dust. It could have easily been cleaned, at minimum just wipe it off with a paper towel with or without water - maybe even add some soap? I'd expect an item that's advertised as close to "like new" or "good" to not be covered in dust.

Anyways, the product juiced fine for about 2 weeks occasional use until it broke. The malfunction was pretty weird. It was juicing about the amount of half a carrot, then it rumbled loudly/way louder than it already is, it was slightly working (except it released pulp in the juice) before the vibrations made it bounce behind the cup making a huge mess.

I believe this is a good product, but I urge you to just get it new. It's cheap enough as it is. There's a reason why the used models are in the $20s.

I am looking into better centrifugal juicers in a higher price range once I'm able to save up enough money. Any suggestions?

This particular model did not come with the cup but I love it. I will be using it every other day pretty much and this will do nicely. I tried a few items in the juicer like apples, grapes, oranges and carrots. The apples cannot fit whole as there is a slight bump in the hole that prevents the apple from going in but I just cut the apple in half, no big deal. Other than that it gets all the juice out. The only thing I would recommend is having a tall cup to collect the juice as it can spatter some as it comes out the chute. LOVE IT!!

Update...i have used this about 20 times for the past year and yesterday I tried to use it and it would not turn on...i will contact manufacturer and update u soon

Like everything that I get from Amazon, I bought this Juicer on my own accord and nobody has paid me to give this review. The Long and short of it is that I love this Juicer.

The Hamilton Beach 67601A Big Mouth Juice Extractor arrived already assembled inside the box. All I did was remove the plastic and little cardboard pieces that protected the sides and certain parts of the unit. The box contained the Juicer, a Manual, and a cleaning brush. On page 4 of the Manual, it shows and lists the parts & features of the unit. This particular model does not come with a Juice Cup (at least mine didn't) (which is not a problem at all). So, once you receive your order, remember to check if you have everything you need to operate the Juicer.

I went ahead and washed the parts that can be washed, and wiped the rest that I couldn't wash. The Juicer is very easy to put together as it is to take apart (for cleaning).

The motor is very strong. I was able to feed into the chute fruits & vegetables with the Food Pusher with no problem. What really impressed me is the amount of juice it is able to extract from the produce. The juice was smooth, no tiny seeds or particles or remnants of the produce in the juice that came out of the Juice Spout--which is what I expect from a juicer. There's some fizz, but if you stir the juice, it easily incorporates.

The unit is very easy to clean. The cleaning brush that came with it was very useful when cleaning the Stainless Steel Micro-Mesh Strainer Basket; but you can also use an old toothbrush. I say this because an old toothbrush has softer bristles than the (free) cleaning brush that came with the Juicer. I used the cleaning brush today, but will use an old toothbrush moving forward. The washable parts of the unit can be cleaned very easily by running it under the faucet (that's what I did), and wiping the non-washable parts with a wet, soapy, paper towel to soften any sticky residue, then wiping it again with just a wet paper towel to remove the soap. The Manual states that the washable parts are dishwasher-safe, so you can do that, too, if you like.

I am attaching some photos to show the following: (1) that there are no broken parts; (2) that the unit came complete with all its parts and already assembled; (3) that it is easy to take-a-part and clean, and then easy to put back together; and (4) the first couple of juices I made from whatever I have in the fridge.

The pitcher contains 3/4 of a cantaloupe; and the large mason jar contains one regularly-sized Fuji apple and six large ripe strawberries. They were delicious! :-)

Update: I made a Banana & Strawberry juice, and found that while it did extract juice from the bananas, there was left-over pulp from the it. I think this juicer can be "pulp-y" if softer produce is used. I'll find out as I try-on recipes from the books that I got, and will let you guys know. At any rate, I still love it.

I hope this helps anybody who is in the market for an easy-to-use, easy-to-clean, strong/powerful juicer that extracts a lot of juices.
