Hamilton Beach HealthSmart® Compact Juice Extractor, White 67501
When comparing, using similar amounts of produce going through both machines, they produced the same amount of juice. If the Breville produced better (by teaspoons, maybe), it was not enough to justify spending the extra money based on this alone. The pulp from Breville was a tad bit dryer, didn’t stick to my fingers as much, hamilton beach toaster oven which suggests more juice having been extracted from it. This ensures a sleek silhouette, but a slightly larger footprint of 14.50 x 10.75 x 7.75 inches; still, this should fit conveniently on any countertop. All plastic components come in transparent black, but the main body is available in either black or silver hues.
It produced juice with great texture, but the taste seemed slightly off compared to the other tested models. Our testers found it to be substantially less tasty than the beverages produced by some of the other, higher-quality juicers. Whether it’s an invigorating orange or nutrient-rich green, enjoying a fresh glass of homemade juice has never been easier. With its large chute and powerful motor, the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro Juicer makes quick work of fruits and vegetables with little prep time required. When pursuing a more affordable option, you expect to have to make concessions on performance or perhaps convenience. For customers of the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor, however, these concerns need not apply.
Overall, it’s not the best but usually retails for substantially less than the highest-scoring models. This juicer is a fantastic value, holding its own with models that cost hundreds of dollars more. This juicer did amazingly well at juicing wheatgrass, earning one of the highest scores of the group and only outperformed by the best products in the lineup. The Big Mouth generated about 4.3mL of juice, well above the 2.5mL average. We evaluated how well each juicer did at juicing sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets for this metric. We used an identical set of criteria as the previous metric to score performance, and the Big Mouth again delivered an average performance.
I also tried to run the pulp through the machine a second time, which squeezed out a few more dribbles, but not enough to be worth the extra effort. I don’t see how purchasing a much more expensive machine would save money even in the long run, but I could be mistaken. Our tests for this category compared the taste, texture, and consistency of three different juice recipes. The Big Mouth did quite well, holding its own with an above-average score.
What I love most is the 2 speeds that allow you to chop up kale and more fibrous vegetables quicker. I also like the juice collection container is larger and features a froth filter on one side, so all the foam strains away from your finished juice. The larger size mouth also allows for whole apples and larger fruits and vegetables so I didn’t have to cut everything into small pieces. It produced about 15mL less juice than the average with little pulp and approximately a half-inch of foam on top. We finished with an essentially average yield of juice, but there was tons of pulp in the drink. The juice also rapidly separated, and there was a lot of foam on the surface.
Our third drink for testing combined beetroot, apples, carrots, sweet potatoes, and oranges. The mixture produced by this juicer was delicious but had a slightly overpowering beet flavor. There was a decent amount of pulp, and the texture was somewhat watery, but the quality was still above average.
The hamilton beach mixer doesn’t have quite as trendy of a design, but looks OK I think. This machine is somewhat easier to move because the various parts stay together a little bit better. There are several parts on juicers, and they do not necessarily fully interlock. Why you can trust Tom’s Guide Our writers and editors spend hours analyzing and reviewing products, services, and apps to help find what’s best for you. For this metric, we used spinach, wheatgrass, and curly-leaf kale for our assessments, again using the same criteria to assess the final product.
Cost, size, clean-up, handling of the machine, and the fact that they were so similar in performance, were factors that led us to choose Hamilton Beach over Breville. The extra $100 for the Breville machine versus Hamilton Beach was not worth it in our opinion. I don’t see how it could be worth it for anyone, unless looks is the most important part.
