Read First Before Buy KitchenAid KFPJE Juice Extractor Attachment
Let me start by saying I bought this almost a year ago and used it for the first time today. I could kick myself for waiting so long! I think this is a fabulous accessory. I can now enjoy my apple-carrot mix at a fraction of the cost I usually pay for a cup of juice.
This attachment is perfect for me a a great product overall if you are an occasional to moderate juice and/or are strapped for counter space. If you are a serious juicer, this may not have enough capacity or power for you. (Since everything sits in the workbowl, you only have so much space before the juice touches the pulp. I think you can get at least two, maybe three cups of liquid in before this happens.)
Also I was intrigued by a previous reviewer's comment about using the pulp for something else. Whenever I've used a real juicer, the pulp is so dry that it is absolutely flavorless useless. The pulp in this attachment is damp, so you're not getting all of the juice out of the items. However, with an attachment versus a juicer, you have to be willing to accept tradeoffs. What I did enjoy was the lower amount of froth in the juice with this product versus a juicer.
I found clean up really easy. I rinsed the pulp out, ran a bottle brush over it a few times and tossed it in the diswasher.
The only negative for me is that the appliance eventually started to walk across the counter. Since it was my first time using the attchment, I admit it could have been something I did wrong.

BalasHapusThis is a great addition to my food processor! It gets more juice from fruits and vegetables faster than my old dedicate juicer, and since it works on my Kitchen Aid food processor, I have one less appliance on the counter now! Function is fast and flawless. As for the person below who thought it should do citrus. This is not a citrus juicer. You should use a reaming type device that is specifically made for citrus. In fact there is one available for the Kitchen Aid food processor also. My only small dislike is that the pulp takes a little bit more work to flush from the drum than my old one did. However it is in every other way superior to my previous Panasonic juice extractor. Buy this one with no fear.
BalasHapusI was skeptical of this attachment, but I am very happy with the results. I have had juicers before so I know what works and doesn't. This attachment was easy to use and was very effective. The pulp was dry so the juice yield was good. However, I would not recommend this for someone who wants to make juice in large quantities, as you need to clean the filter relatively frequently. Also, after making carrot juice the white parts of the attachment turn orange and do not clean easily, but I do not regard this as a major problem.

BalasHapusI love this juice extractor attachment. If you already own an 11 cup processor and you like fresh vegetable juices, than this product is great! I've always wanted to make my own carrot juice, but hated the juicers I've used at friends places. They are such a hassle to clean! I also didn't feel like having another machine in my kitchen. This juicer attachment only has three parts which you place in your processor and all are easy to clean and even dishwasher safe.But most importantly - I didn't really expect it - it works! It's as fast as when you use a disc attachment. You push the vegetable in, the pulp is collected and the juice comes out. I highly recommend this attachment!
