Design and Build Quality

Having a juicer with such a sleek design is appealing to me. Black BPA-free plastic and metallic embellishments are used in its construction.

There is only one button to turn the fan on or off. The CJE-500, unfortunately, lacks the “low-speed” setting when it comes to juicing soft produce and leafy greens.

A chute measuring 2.5 inches will be used to feed your produce. Your produce may need to be cut up into smaller pieces to fit.

A 16 fl. bottle will hold the juice from the produce. One ounce. A separate 40 oz cup is used for the pulp while the jug is used for the water. A container. It doesn’t matter how much produce you’re juicing at once since the jug can be easily replaced while you’re using the juicer.

The small jug will still be an annoyance to empty or replace multiple times if you juice for more than 2 people on a frequent basis.

Yield and Quality of Juice

I found that one complaint in customer reviews was that the juicer left behind some fairly wet pulp, which made the process of extracting juice from produce less efficient than its competitors.

Citrus fruits are also mentioned as one of the challenges that the Cuisinart CJE-500 faces.

Because it’s a centrifugal juicer, it’s not designed to handle leafy greens well. One user reported that it’s barely producing a tablespoon of juice from kale leaves.

If you are looking to juice hard produce such as apples, beetroots, carrots, celery, or similar, this model is for you.

The juice is also often said to contain lots of pulp and foam, which is not ideal.

Concerning reports of plastics being ground or melted into the juice from the cover chute and pusher is one of the things that really concerns me. However, I’m sure not everyone will have this problem, so I would be cautious about purchasing this juicer.

A nice 3-year warranty is included with the CJE-500 for the whole machine.

Juice from centrifugal juicers should generally be consumed within 24 hours, with the exception of Breville’s Cold Spin Technology-enabled Juice Fountain Cold BJE430SIL.

It is because they spin at high RPMs, so a lot of oxygen is drawn into the juice.

Noise and Performance

The CJE-500 performs well with hard and bulky produce, and it makes juice in seconds, despite some poor results with citrus, leafy greens, and tomatoes.

Also, its operation is not as loud as that of many other centrifugal juicers.

How easy is it to use?

It’s very easy to use the CJE-500 once you’ve assembled the 6 pieces. You can push produce through the juicer by lifting out the pusher and pressing the on button.

How easy is it to clean?

This set has detachable parts that can be washed by the dishwasher (which makes life easier!). In other words, if you can do it this way, disassembling and cleaning up takes no time.

Other than that, the 6 parts must be rinsed and washed manually. A fine-mesh filter takes the longest to clean since it must be thoroughly brushed.

When you’re done using your juicer, I always recommend you clean it immediately so you don’t have to scrub away all the residual sticky bits.

How does the Cuisinart CJE-500 Compact Juice Extractor compare to other juice extractors?

This option is a good choice if you’re on a budget and you don’t need to make a lot of juice (apples, carrots, celery, etc.) or if you’re on a budget and want to save space in your kitchen.

Should you experience this problem, I encourage you to keep an eye on your juicer’s plastic, and you should replace it if it becomes damaged.
