I looked at Breville compact, Breville JE98L fountain plus, Omega J8004, multiple Hamilton beach big mouth juicers, Black & Decker JE2220B Jack Lalanne and a bunch more juicers and read a ton of reviews before I decided on Hamilton big mouth 67601A.I haven’t thought I needed a juicer before because I mix my freeze dried powdered juice (Green Vibrance, which has a ton of ingredients, more than I can buy for a reasonable price for one person for a week) with store bought organic carrot juice (Bolthouse farms). But after I moved, I found that the closest store did not carry organic carrot juice, only non-organic carrot juice for about $4 for 15.2 oz (also from Bolthouse farms), which was pretty expensive.I decided to see if I could make my own juice and started reading about juicers. I got really excited about juicing after reading reviews and thought maybe I should upgrade to an omega masticating juicer to get the 15 year warranty and the full nutritional value from juicing greens. I came back to reality after realizing that I get way more ingredients than I can find in a normal store close to me from Green Vibrance (dandelion root, wheat grass, chlorella, spirulina, kelp, alfalfa sprouts, etc.), and I have a Bullet to make fruit smoothies and own a citrus juicer already.Breville Fountain plus was too big and ratings were similar to the Breville Compact in terms of # of stars. Breville Compact’s negative ratings had many mentions of the wire mesh breaking (and not being covered by warranty, and costing $45). Since the Hamilton Big Mouth costs about $45, it seemed silly to just buy one filter for $45. I wasn’t sure how often I’d use the masticating juicer since my friend has one and rarely uses it due to the prep work required (chopping and slimming vegetables to get them into the small 1.5″ wide chute – same issue with Black & Decker). Also, I figured even though the Hamilton only had a 1 year warranty vs. the 15 year warranty, if it lasted me 3 years, I could buy 5 Hamiltons (at $45) for the $228 cost of an Omega J8004. I could even buy myself a $5 square trade warranty to make sure it lasted me 2 years (which is why I didn’t go for the more expensive Hamilton Pro 67650A at $56.51)Amazon had a pre-black Friday sale for the Hamilton 67601A for about $35 ($10 off the normal $45) price, so I decided that it was worth a try and bought a Hamilton.First of all, the black color on the Hamilton is black all over the inside, and this works great at hiding the carrot juice stains everyone complains about for their non-black juicers. I’ve had the juicer for 3 days and have used it every day. I noticed I am going through vegetables much quicker than if I cook with them (I might normally put one celery stalk in a stir fry but 2 stalks in juice, and go through a little bit of spinach with a meal, but the same amount in the juice). Also, I used to mix the store bought carrot juice sparingly since it was pricy with my Green Vibrance, but now, I’m going through pounds of carrots (normally, one pound of carrots would last me at lease 2 weeks when I cook with carrots but I’ve already gone through more than a pound in 3 days of juicing for one person, once a day).I don’t notice the juice being warm or frothy, I never peel, just wash my vegetables (they’re organic) so the preparation, setup, juicing and cleanup time is about 15 minutes for about 15.2 oz of juice. I do put a plastic bag from the vegetable aisle of grocery store in the container bin so clean up is faster.I did notice the juice was a little pulpier than the smooth store bought one, but I’m ok with that. The left overs in the bin tend to be only slightly moist, but the remains that fly to the top sides of the juicer tend to be more moist. I have tried to squeeze the remains in my fingertips to squeeze more juice out, and while my fingers do get damp, no droplets emerge. I’ve also tried to take the remains and dump them back in the juicer. I got about a teaspoon for about 2 or 3 carrots, so not sure if it’s worth the extra work. I’ve also tried dumping the remains of 4 carrots on the strainer and hand pressing it – no drops came out.There is no cup that comes with the juicer, but I have found that my 15.2 oz. plastic bottle from Bolthouse Farms (cleaned and ready to recycle) fits under there well at a slight tilt (I put a bowl under it so it doesn’t slip). The narrow mouth of the bottle fits right over the nub where the juice comes out, and thus, prevents splatters of the juice, which is also nice. Also, I can easily store the juice after I juice it by screwing on the lid.The juicer juiced my carrots well, as well as ginger, spinach, celery and apple (organic apple fit well without having to be chopped. I did wonder if I should core it to get rid of seeds as other people mentioned there might be trace amounts of arsenic….). I think the amount of juicing works fine. 3 stalks of celery, 6 carrots, a 3 or so handfuls of spinach and 1 thumb sized bit of ginger mostly filled my 15.2 oz. bottle. As the bottle states it has about 11.5 carrots in it, I think I am getting a decent amount of juice out of my juicer. Other reviewers mentioned that pushing the veggies through produces less juice, so I don’t use pressure on the veggies except to rest the pushing mechanism on the veggies (after the carrot and celery are short enough) and let the gravity of the veggies and pushing mechanism do the work (or unless something gets stuck – then a little nudge pushes the veggies through).The juicer does have a vent hole at the top where carrot pieces sometimes come flying out, but I put a piece of tape over it as mentioned by another reviewer and that fix has worked well. I haven’t noticed the bouncing on the countertop everyone else has mentioned, but I have a textured laminate top so maybe that makes a difference. The only time the product jumped was when I had a round piece of ginger in there and the ginger bounced around inside – the machine bounced with the ginger. Machine stopped bouncing when I put the pushing mechanism inside and it rested on the ginger, stopping it from bouncing.I use the leftovers for soup or for Portuguese rice. I love pureed soup (you boil the vegetables until they’re soft, stick in an immersion blender and puree everything), so I’ve started to add the leftover veggies into the soup (pureeing is done before I start!). After I finished juicing, I felt too lazy to shop garlic so I stuck that in the juicer so I could put the juice and grinds into the soup. That worked so I stuck in a whole onion to do the same (lazy me). I found out that wasn’t as good an idea – the process worked fine and it saved me some time chopping and later pureeing. However, it made me tear up something fierce as the fumes from the onions wafted up. I tear up when I chop onions too, but this was instant – onion in, tears came out! I added the garlic and onion juice and remains from all the veggies into the hot boiling water with herbs and chicken bones and made soup. Yum. I’ve also thought that carrot remains look perfectly sized for carrot cake and for carrot pie (instead of pumpkin pie). It’s orange, sweet – who would notice the substitution?Portuguese rice also calls for carrots ground really fine. Instead of shredding it (which takes time), I just throw in the left over carrot from the juicing process with garlic, olive oil, onions chopped, some salt and pepper and stir until the smells drive you wild (or until slightly browned). Then, I add water and rice and boil until done. The rice is dyed yellow by the carrots and comes out soft and fluffy. I’ve had multiple rave reviews from many people but I rarely make it due to the time required. Now, I can make it more frequently.Overall a good juicer, fast prep plus cleanup combination, remains are a little moist but can’t squeeze more out of them by hand, juice isn’t frothy or warm, good for my purposes and a great price. I would recommend.

I am brand spanking new to juicing, and the whole process was intimidating to me— choosing a juicer, making sure that it was a juicer I could understand, knowing “which kind” of juicer. I read a bunch of reviews and the conclusion was that this was the simplest juicer for a beginner. I LOVE it. It was easy to put together, instructions were clear, and though others explained how “messy” juicing could be (and I did make a little mess, but nothing serious), this juicer is pretty tough to go wrong with. I understand the fact that a juicer could create “foamy” juice is a bad thing in serious juicing circles, and this juice is a little foamy, but it works great for me. The juicer is loud and sounds a bit like you are mowing your lawn, but it makes fast, easy juice. The review I read said, “It’s easy to clean if you clean it IMMEDIATELY,” so that is exactly what I do, and they are right. If I right away dump everything in soapy water or power rinse it with my faucet, everything cleans up easily. They say you can put it all in the dishwasher (except the base itself), but I don’t see how it would not spray pulp all over your dishes, so I have not tried that, and would not try it without a pre-rinse. But maybe I’m wrong. You’ll want to use your disposal side of your sink, not a regular drain, as enough very fine pulp gets washed off the thing to clog a regular drain filter.

Well first of all I am an owner of the Nama Juicer. It is a very high priced juicer it is a different style of Juicer; however, this one was beyond easy to use. I did not care that the pulp was more wet it was so easy I didn’t have to stand up forever or cut things in really super small pieces so that made me happy.Other than that the delivery was kind of creepy. The delivery guy was complementing me quite a bit. He left my apartment complex and I was walking back from the other side where the dumpsters were he came back into my apartment pulled in around my apartment area and asked me if he could give me his number. My delivery was today. When he asked me that question I told him hell no he said he wanted to take me out and I said I am the wrong girl for you I go to church. He might’ve been a nice person he did show me some ministry things on his phone as I was standing there very awkwardly.I told him no but I gave him my Twitter name because I thought well that way I will have a digital track on this person. I felt a little too scared to call Amazon and say anything so I didn’t. So in case something happens to me well there is a teacher of record somewhere my delivery was today.

As a first time juicer, I learned that you need a certain kind of receptacle for the juice to flow into. Well the word “flow” is not exactly right because the juicer does a little spitting. The force of the juice coming out of the spout, causes a few drops to kinda fly out in a different direction than the bulk of the juice. So I had to get creative. I found a short and fat glass flower vase with a wide mouth that fit under the spout to catch the juice. Even though my first experience at juicing turned out good, I think the juice receptacle should be provided by Hamilton Beach. I can see the lack of a proper receptacle can become messy and frustrating. I juiced soft vegetables such as cucumber and celery which I thought would taste not so good together but the flavor combination turned out to taste terrific, really good. I look forward to drinking it. Overall, I think this Hamilton Beach is a good buy. The motor seems really strong. I placed a plastic bag in the pulp receptacle and lessened the cleanup. The brush included was very good with cleaning the strainer. I wouldn’t recommend this juicer to all of my family and friends but only to those whose personality would let them see the overall functionality of the juicer and tend not to sweat the small stuff. I hope this review helps you to make a decision.
