KitchenAid Juicer

Home » KitchenAid Juicer

The KitchenAid juicer is a citrus juicer attachment that can be attached to all KitchenAid mixer models.

Though KitchenAid has a manual citrus press, we'll focus our review on the KitchenAid juicer attachment as it can do more compared to the manual citrus press.

KitchenAid has been in the business of manufacturing kitchen appliances for almost 100 years; they brought their first food mixer out in the market in 1919 and have since expanded, to other kitchen tools to cover all the stages of cooking and food preparation. 

Most of their small kitchen appliances are attachments to their great stand mixers.

Not so long ago, KitchenAid have ventured in manufacturing and marketing the KitchenAid juicer model KJE500WH which is a stand-up dual function juicer that can juice fruits and press citrus.

You can still purchase some units of this Kitchenaid juicer models from a few stores but for some reason, KitchenAid has discontinued the production of these units which leaves you with a KitchenAid manual citrus press and the Kitchenaid juicer attachment as options.

Since the attachment is basically part of the Kitchenaid mixer, let's mention a few points about the mixer that powers the attachment.

As you may know by now, most of the kitchen appliances produced by KitchenAid depends on their food mixer for power and function. Without it, none of these attachments will be of any use on the kitchen.

So before thinking of getting  a KitchenAid juicer attachment, make sure you purchase a Kitchenaid food mixer first; it's a little bit costly if you're budget conscious but it's guaranteed to last for a very long time and is well-worth the price. Thus, the kitchenAid mixer  is an all-in-one kitchen appliance that could easily replace a dozen other tools in your kitchen; well, just be sure you've got the right attachment for it!

It could mix though, whip cream, make pasta, grind coffee and peas, squeeze juice, and more. If you already own a Kitchenaid Mixer, parting an extra $24.99 would get you a nice electric juicer attachment for less.

The extra good thing about all the food mixer models manufactured by Kitcheniad is that they maintain uniformity in all attachment fittings so any new attachment fits in nicely even with their oldest model. Same thing, old attachment will perfectly fit the later models of their mixers. Not too many companies can stand with this production control but looking at their appliances, we would say that non of which looks "outdated".

KitchenAid Mixer Models

KitchenAid has produced different models of the KitchenAid Mixer throughout the years but as mentioned, they all have the same size for fittings so all attachments, old or new would fit in perfectly which we believe is a value-added idea and a great comfort for all consumers.

The KitchenAid Juicer Attachment

The KitchenAid Juicer Attachment turns any KitchenAid stand mixer into a citrus juicer. 

Like any KitchenAid attachment the citrus juicer is designed to save kitchen space and to enhance productivity eliminating the need for another appliance to do the function which usually use up the limited kitchen space that you may have - hence "Kitchen Aid".

The KitchenAid Juicer Attachment has a total of four parts; the heavy-duty aluminum shaft, the reamer, shield, and strainer. All are easily assembled and attached to the KitchenAid Mixer, which is the base power source.

Level six is provides a fast and stable spin which is perfect for juicing citrus halves. Just press the fruit halves putting a little pressure to extract the juice. Pulp and seeds don't mix up with your juice as it's sifted by the strainer basket.

Advantages

The obvious advantage is it makes juicing citrus fast and easy as compared to manual citrus presses.

The power of the stand mixer turns the KitchenAid juicer attachment into an electric juice press.

Disadvantage

The juicer is only designed to press citrus fruits, as such you'll need separate fruit and vegetable juicers like masticating and centrifugal juicers to juice other types of produce.

Conclusion

If you already own a stand mixer, purchasing the KitchenAid juicer attachment for your citrus juicing needs saves you both on costs and kitchen counter and storage space.

If on the other hand, you don't own a stand mixer, you will need to purchase one before you could make the juicer attachment of any use in your kitchen, it would cost you somewhere around $200-$300 US. It may cost up front but it's guaranteed to last. You may then purchase the juicer attachment if it's not yet included on the package.
