DASH Deluxe Compact Masticating Slow Juicer, Easy to Clean Cold Press Juicer with Brush, Pulp Measuring Cup, Frozen Attachment and Juice Recipe Guide - Aqua

After watching some negitive review videos on YouTube about this awesome little juicer, I was a little leery but went ahead and bought it anyway. I had also read some bad reviews here on Amazon (I always go to the lowest rated reviews first to see what the problems or complaints about the product are) and it seems to me that most of the people who were complaining about the product not working properly, we're in fact not using the product properly. It has to be understood that; Number one- this is a small juicer, it's not going to handle tons of fruits or vegetables just shoved down into it all at once. Also- it's a slow juicer that uses an auger rather than a blade, so anything like leafy greens or celery or Ginger, needs to be cut into small pieces so that it doesn't jam the auger. In addition- I saw one juicing expert in particular make a lengthy video reviewing it compared to another juicer, in which he stated that this juicer was rather obnoxiously loud. Made me a little nervous but I figured I could stand the noise until I'm ready to upgrade. Now, when I say this juicer is quiet AF! I mean it! Of course it has a noise, anything with a motor is going to, but I have a Magic Bullet that's like literally five times louder than this thing! The last thing I'll say is that- I saw some videos of people using The Pusher to just jam things through it as quickly as possible!!! The whole point of this juicer is that it's a compact SLOW JUICER!!! It's not supposed to be fast!!!! duh! No wonder your s*** was jamming, leaking and breaking. 😵 All in all, I'm absolutely in love with this juicer! If you know what you're doing it's a great little product! And to have a high-quality slow pressed juice in such an easy and convenient way,I feel like it's almost a miracle! Thank you Dash! I'll literally be a rep for you! Call me! -Lisa Michelle Certified Health coach and juice enthusiast PS, if you want to buy this juicer but aren't sure that you'll know how to use it properly, I can tell you that you don't need to use the pusher unless something gets stuck in the middle or at the top of the shoot. Merely use The Pusher to guide the fruit down to the auger , not to push it through! The auger pulls the fruits and vegetables down all by itself. Don't fill it up too much at one time, and it'll all be good! And if you're trying to make mad volumes of juice, this is not the right juicer for you. Find something bigger.

Just got it today, easy to assemble and use, made a batch of carrot apple juice right away (after cleaning all the parts and assembling) that everyone (even the kids!) LOVED! I am not a patient person and I manage to unpack it, read the directions, wash dry and assemble it in 10 minutes and had the first batch of juice 5 min later. It's adorable and cute, beautiful color, tiny footprint to leave on counter but worked hard. I used 1 apple & 2 carrots in the first batch, then made another with two apples and four carrots. It was not a big deal to me to cut up the produce, it still has a decent size feed tube. Clean up was also fast and pretty easy and much better than the other kind of juicers I used to use with the mesh basket. It wasn't SUPER quiet but was not all that loud and it has been several years since I used a juice or so I can't quite recall how loud my past ones were anyway but this wasn't something that bothered me and I am fairly sensitive to loud noises. I have used the other kind of juicers in the past and I would say the pulp left over from this one (auger type) was much drier. The pump comes out one side and goes into a cup and there was no liquid in it at all, no need for any kind of plastic bag etc. If you garden this would probably be a great addition to your compost pile. There was also hardly any foam at all in the juice. Really excited to try other combinations and see if my love for this little machine lasts. Right now I'm definitely a huge fan. If you are interested in juicing at all get this one! The price point is super good, and it's perfect for starting out trying an auger type juicer (supposed to be healthier) before investing hundreds of dollars in a huge one...and I have to be honest I'm not sure I would ever want or need a huge one, this little guy seems perfect for my needs which are making juice for me daily, and occasionally the rest of the family. Part of the daunting thing with juicing is looking at a big complicated piece of equipment that you know you will have to clean at the end and figure out how to store it or have something huge on your counter. Neither of those is an issue with this one. A++++

Worked okay for a few months. Pros: It was small and easy to clean so I liked it originally. Cons: You did have to cut up everything into about 1 inch pieces or it would clog the grinder even when it was brand new. BIG NEGATIVE: After only about 4 MONTHS of use, and very carefully only using the recommended fruits & veggies (they tell you not to use certain things that will clog it up in the manual), the motor no longer runs strong enough to run without stopping and clogging up the machine. It will not make more than a few ounces of juice before stopping no matter what I put in there & the only way to get it to run again is to clean out the whole thing and it will again, only make a few ounces before stopping. Its just a piece of trash now. The size was perfect for what I needed, but I had to bite the bullet and get something bigger & better just because this juicer just wasn't made to last very long.

Our experience with the Dash Slow Juicer—it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. We went through not one but two refurbished units then opted to buy new. The first one had broken cups, so back it went. The second one? Well, it wouldn't even power on. No matter what I tried, it just wouldn't come to life. But as they say, third time’s the charm, and this one has been a winner! BTW I normally don't have trouble with buying refurbished or used from Amazon, the price is almost always right and I generally have good luck with them, but on the rare occasions I have problems, Amazon always makes it right. What I really appreciate about this juicer is how efficient it is. Living off-grid with a medium sized solar system, we're always mindful of power usage, and this little guy only uses 130 watts. But don’t let that fool you—it's pretty powerful for such low wattage. Plus, it has a small footprint, so it doesn’t hog up much counter space, which is a big plus in my book. Cleaning it is mostly a breeze, definitely easier than those old-style juicers that had a million persnickety parts to scrub. However, you do need to cut your fruits and veggies into small pieces, and not everything works well in it. For example, I tried strawberries, that was a bit of a disaster—it got all clogged up. But for the most part, it handles everything else I've put in it pretty well; it's especially good for one or two people. One thing I love is how dry the pulp comes out. It’s perfect for saving and adding to baked goods—nothing goes to waste! I haven’t tried the frozen attachment yet, but I’m looking forward to giving it a go soon. All in all, despite a rocky start, this Dash Slow Juicer has earned its place in our off-grid kitchen. If you’re looking for something small, efficient, and relatively easy to clean, this one’s worth considering.

I don't write a lot of reviews but I love this product and I have to share. I love juicing and I spend a lot of money at juice bars. I've always wanted a juicer but they were too big for my tiny kitchen, the good ones were expensive, and the cleaning was a chore. I recently found this little juicer on Amazon--the price was right but how could it juice well being as small as it is? It's smaller than my blender, smaller than my coffee maker, and smaller than my toaster. How could this work? Well, it does. It works beautifully. I've made juice everyday for about a week. The pros is that it is very compact and all the parts fit nicely into a cupboard. Set up is pretty simple once you get the hang of it and super simple compared to the bigger machines. You have to work a little to make juice--you occasionally have to use some muscle to push down the stopper especially with ginger, carrots, or any of your more dry produce. Cleaning takes a minute but is pretty easy--all the parts come apart and can be submerged in water. The juicer comes with a cleaning too that includes a pick on one side and a brush on the other and is really helpful getting all the nooks cleaned well. Celery is the only real challenge with this machine--the fiber clogs up the pulp output really quickly but I still juice celery everyday--I just put it in last so I'm not working against it the entire time. It takes me about five minutes to clean my machine total. Again, I love it. I hope it lasts a long time and I'll be sure to update this in a couple of months.

This juicer is nice and compact. It can only juice small amounts. Juicing celery or ginger ect. 🫚 is almost impossible with the strings, clogging the spout. Too much juice is still left in the fruits or vegetables.

Awesome method to make juice from fruits and veggies the easy way. This is not a centrifugal method where you must drink your juices right away to get all the nutrients before they "die". This Dash Cold Press Juicer makes the goodness that can survive 24 to 48 hours in the refrigerator... or for long in the freezer. Makes me think about so bad is to buy bottled and labeled juices on the supermarket where the product is "pasteurized" or with added conserving chemicals to obtain shelf longevity, so the good nutrients are "killed" and at the end you're just buying flavored juice without absolutely no nutrients at all but including sugar and flavor enhancers. Other fantastic thing... the capacity to extract juice from leafy veggies like kale or spinach. Fibrous veggies should be diced or thin sliced before, like celery or asparagus, if not, the fibrous pulp can clog the pulp output. This is a "masticating" (chewing) process. It's not slow as some people use to say. It just takes its time to produce juice. But it's so easy.... Cleaning is fast and no messy. I recommend this device for single or double batches (not for big families). I did a lot of juices so far and one single batch take me about 20 minutes to prepare from setting up the juicer, cutting and preparing fruits and veggies till storing the device back in the cabinet washed. Awesome... One important detail, there's a small black silicone restrainer located on the pulp output that could be pulled out for easy cleaning. I'm a little concerned about the "sherbet" or "ice cream" attachment that I never used so far. "masticate" frozen fruits looks the same as crushing stones. I don't want to break it as I heard from other users. Best thing maybe is to thaw fruits to soften a little. Other nice thing I'm experimenting is creating healthy sodas in conjunction with my sodastream. After carbonating a bottle, just pour the juice gently in the bottle as you pour a beer on a glass. Cap it and leave in the refrigerator for a while. Watery or liquidish juices gives me better results than those thicker, so far. I did cocumber soda and pear soda. Good Results. I assume Orangeades, Lemonades Watermelon sodas will be great. Variations with flavors like ginger or mint are probably awesome. Don't forget that the cleaning brush and feeder plate are located outside the styrofoam package when you unpack it. I thought those items are missing till I decided to dispose the styrofoam. This is a small appliance and obviously not intended to perform like those heavy duty machines that costs 10 times more. Take care of it and it take care of yourself. Enjoy and have fun.

I really liked this juicer. It had good power, compact size, and was easy to clean. Unfortunately it broke after 4 months, only using it about every other day.
