Cuisinart SM-CJ Citrus-Juicer Attachment for Cuisinart Stand Mixer, White



Great power means quick juicing
Have now used my new juicer attachment several times and been very pleased. I haven't had the rattling and jumping problem mentioned in another review, just great, quick results. I love the power compared to my older electric citrus juicer, which would slow down and labor when pushed. No sign of flagging with this attachment on my 5.5 quart Cuisinart mixer. Very pleased.

Design flaw?
We were excited to buy and use this juicer attachment with our stand mixer, but it rattles horribly when used properly. The problem is that the plastic strainer insert does not rest nicely when the juicer is turned on and the middle cone is spinning. The spinning of the cone also spins a metal bracket that the plastic strainer sits on and as a result the strainer bumps up and down wildly and also loudly. It really seems to be a design flaw or at the very least makes one wonder why someone would design it this way on purpose. The only way we can use the juicer well is to remove the plastic strainer. This also means we have to place the strainer over another container and pour the juiced contents into it to properly strain - what a hassle! I would give it no stars if I could. Cuisinart really messed up on this one.

Love it!
This is a great product. Works for lemons, oranges, limes. It is powerful, fast and efficient. It filtered out the seeds and was easy to use. I was worried that it would drag when I pressed down on an orange but it held up great. If you own a Cuisinart standing mixer, get this attachment for sure.
