Find out how I’ve become a juicer convert in this honest AMZCHEF Juicer review. I cover everything from the assembly, juicing, cleaning, and the affordability of the machine itself.
Rating:
I don’t typically enjoy using juicers. They are usually quite hefty and large appliances that take up a lot of space on my kitchen worktop and they tend to create a lot of mess. I hate washing up, so the latter is very important to me!
That being said, I also really enjoy drinking juice. I regularly buy carrot, ginger, and turmeric juice, as well as apple juice, both of which come packaged in single-use plastic. My juice habit is in direct conflict with my negative views towards single-use plastic.
So when AMZCHEF asked me to review their popular juicer, I decided to take the plunge. I was keen to find out whether this smaller machine would be powerful enough to juice both vegetables and fruits, whether it would create much mess, and how easy it was to use and clean. In this AMZCHEF Juicer review, I will share my honest experience with you!
Pros
- Affordable machine
- Creates smooth juice
- Easy to clean
- Small appliance
Cons
- Made up of a few parts
- Some fruit needs to be chopped first
My experience
I have been using the AMZCHEF Juicer to create a few of my favourite juice combinations. For the pictures I wanted to show how well it juiced both hard vegetables and a medium-soft fruit, so I created a carrot and apple juice. Continue reading to find out how my juicing experience went!
Assembling the juicer
The AMZCHEF Juicer is made up of a fair few parts but it does come with an instruction manual that makes the process of assembling it really simple. I used the instructions to assemble it for the first time and then after that, I remembered how to do it without the manual.
I found the separate parts all slotted in easily and overall it took just a minute to put everything together. You can see just how easy it was by watching my video above!
To ensure the safety of the machine, there are a few parts that lock together and you will want to make sure that these are locked before using the juicer. These parts are well-labelled and the lock function is easy to use.
Using the juicer
My experience of juicing with the AMZCHEF Juicer was really simple and easy. There is one control dial on the machine that allows you to rev the machine (useful for any ingredients that aren’t juicing properly) or to just turn the machine ‘on’. I turned the machine to ‘on’ and left it running as I put all of my ingredients through the hole at the top.
Some of my ingredients needed chopping before they could fit through the hole at the top, like my apples, but the carrots went through fine whole.
I used the pusher tool to get all of the ingredients through the juicer and this took just a matter of minutes to do. Everything went through easily but I did use the rev feature a few times to get some of the last bits of apple pulp through.
The juice came through to the cup underneath without it splurting out everywhere and the pulp pilled up nicely in the larger cup on the end. I left the juicer running for a few seconds afterwards to get any residual ingredients through and then turned it off. I let the juice cup sit underneath for a few minutes to allow any excess juice to drip through.
The results
For a juicer that costs under £100, I wasn’t expecting it to juice particularly well. But the juice was really smooth and contained very few bits (which I only found at the bottom of the glass). Most of the bits and pulp had been effectively disposed of during the juicing process.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the quantity of juice it created from the ingredients I put in it. There was very little juice wastage in the leftover pulp!
The provided cleaning brush is good at removing tough pulp from the strainer
Cleaning the juicer
Once I finished juicing I dismantled all of the individual parts of the machine (leaving behind the main motor) and rinsed everything under the tap before cleaning. There was quite a bit of pulp remaining within the parts but this came off easily under the tap. They also provide a handy cleaning brush to remove any pulp that gets stuck in the strainer.
I thought the cleaning process was going to take ages but overall it only took me about 5 minutes. I then allowed it to completely dry before assembling the machine for the next juicing session!
My verdict
I have been surprised by just how easy it is to use the AMZCHEF Juicer. There are a few different parts to the juicer but assembly is really quick and simple plus I found it really handy being able to take it all apart to clean it properly.
The juice it creates is wonderfully smooth and utilises all of the ingredients. The leftover pulp is so dry! Plus it is quick to juice through most ingredients, even tougher vegetables like carrots.
The bit I was least looking forward to was the cleaning of the juicer, but this was quicker to do than I expected. The only thing that can take up your time is removing any pulp from the strainer.
When considering the price of this juicer I would say it is a pretty impressive appliance. I know a lot of familiar brands charge a lot more for their juicers, and they are typically manufactured in the same places as more affordable juicers like these. By buying an AMZCHEF Juicer you are getting a quality juicer just without the fancy brand name.
