Best Sunbeam Juicers

Gone-ski ... after 3 years – So ..... I posted a review on this juicer 3 years ago after my first few uses. Today I went to use it and no action at all from the motor. It… Read more

appears that since the last use 2 weeks ago and after doing no more exertion than sitting on the kitchen bench it has given up the ghost. Motor has died.

I suppose 3 years of occasional use from a $55 appliance isn't too bad .... but I really wanted to use it today !!

Anyway, a few items of note after 3 years of (generally successful) use -

1. I always kept a skewer handy to clear blockages in the wee outlet from bowl to spout - which could have been a bit bigger in diameter ! 2. After about every 8-10 oranges or lemons I would have to pull it apart and wash all juicing parts because of the build-up of waste stopping the juicing action / overflowing the bowl 3. Once in a while during use the little motor would overheat and unilaterally suspend operations. I'd have to wait until it cooled off to resume. It's not the most robust or strong if it can't be used to juice 20-30 lemons or oranges in one session. 4. It's "non-slip" feet are not enough resistance, I always had to use a non-slip rubber kitchen mat under it

Having said all that, I haven't yet seen a citrus juicer on the market that I like any better, so I'm going to go shopping for the same model if it's still available.
