KitchenAid 5KSM1JA Maximum Extraction Slow Juicer and Sauce Attachment (Optional Accessory for KitchenAid Stand Mixers)

Product Information

The wide feeder opening lets you put in larger pieces of fruit and vegetables and leafy greens, without having to slice them up. That will save you a lot of time and effort during preparation. Cleanup is a breeze too, thanks to the easy-to-disassemble design and dishwasher-safe components. The durable materials used in its construction ensure longevity, making it a worthwhile investment for any kitchen. Several design features make the juicing process as easy as possible. A scooped hopper at the top makes it simple to pile in small items, such as berries, without them scattering, and a removable drip tray at the bottom means there’s minimal splashes on the main body of the machine to clean up. The blades are built into an auger with a screw-style thread running around it and holes for fingers to safely hold it, which slices fruit and vegetables before squeezing out the juice. A squeaking noise/ some shaking is expected. It is the sign of juice being squeezed by the auger and the motor working correctly. Why does juice not flow sufficiently?

Cleaning brush We found juicers that came with a cleaning brush were much easier to clean, as they can reach into nooks and crannies to remove small bits of pulp. This juicer features a 3-in-1 adjustable pulp screen, which lets you set it on one of thee options. This allows you to adjust the amount of pulp that comes out with the juice. Use low-pulp for clear juices, medium for soups, and high for sauces and such. The KitchenAid mixer that most of us recognise today is based on the K series of mixers that were designed by Egmont Arens in the 1930s. He was tasked with producing an affordable, streamlined version of the original KitchenAid, and the stand design was born. The silhouette of this design has an official patent, which means that if you want to enjoy the look and innovative design of this mixer, then you can only enjoy its true design with a KitchenAid. The mixer may be the most iconic of KitchenAid products, but it is far from the only product available. Blenders and food processors offer a lot of the same functionality as mixers, while coffee makers, kettles, and toasters provide an ideal way to create great tasting breakfasts, every morning.After her death, Cochrane's company was bought out by KitchenAid and, in 1950, when residential properties had adequate plumbing to be able to handle the new appliance, they became a fixture in modern homes. Like the stand mixer, the dishwasher has retained the same basic design, and is among the larger appliances that KitchenAid now manufactures and sells. Items are made from food grade stainless steel, which is easy to clean and offers longevity. It is also resistant to rust, and a lot of the attachments and bowls can even be placed in the dishwasher, making them a convenient kitchen tool, too. We were impressed with the amount of juice produced from fruit and berries, with the KitchenAid scoring close to top marks in these tests. The resulting pulp was very dry and it was neatly pushed into the pulp container.

KitchenAid turned the white goods market on its head in the 1950s. They launched bold colours like Sunny Yellow and Island Green, Satin Chrome and Petal Pink. These colourful new additions not only helped to further cement the popularity of the brand, but they also enabled homeowners and families to enjoy a brighter and better-looking kitchen design. The full-size version of Breville's Juice Fountain Compact above, this updated and well-built juicer features quieter operation and an extra-wide whole-fruit feed chute. (It doesn't actually chill any juice; the cold in the name refers to its patented "Cold Spin Technology," which ensures that the juice is heated by less than 2 degrees during processing.) When it comes to cleaning, this juicer has lots of parts that all have to be washed by hand. Everything is simple to take apart and the kit includes a brush and scraper that are really effective in removing debris, but the whole process is time-consuming. One other small but annoying issue is that despite all those other accessories, the Greenstar Elite doesn't include a cup to hold pulp. (It's easy enough to put your own measuring cup under the chute, but what gives?)With any type of juicer, most of the insoluble fiber from the produce is removed with the pulp. A small amount of soluble fiber remains in the finished product, but fruit juice will always have less fiber than whole fruit, no matter how you make it. The more pulp that's retained, the more fiber the juice will have, and some masticating juicers have settings that let you adjust pulpiness. That being said, fresh fruit and vegetable juices are still incredibly nutrient-rich and are a great way to include more produce in your diet. You'll just still have to get enough fiber from other sources. Now you might be confused selecting between KitchenAid masticating juicer attachment review and KitchenAid maximum extraction juicer. Let’s see a short comparison to decide. The Maximum extraction juicer is much more expensive than the masticating juicer attachment. The KitchenAid juicer attachment makes a lot of sense for KitchenAid owners who want to get juicing. When it comes to juicing, a stand alone juicer can be a considerable investment. Depending on the style chosen, they can also be a space hog.

Remember, this is an ‘attachment’ not a stand alone appliance. It is designed differently to a typical juicer and works in a unique way. The key is to mix it up, prepare the produce to make it easy on the motor and everything will work a charm. KitchenAid have made it easy to turn your stand mixer into the ‘culinary center’ of the kitchen. With attachments for spiralizing, sausage stuffing, mincing, pasta and more, the juicer attachment is another practical addition for your kitchen. There are two main types of electric juicers: masticating and centrifugal. Masticating juicerswork slowly, crushing the fruits and vegetables rather than rapidly chopping them to pieces. This is quieter, keeps the juice from heating up, and can retain more nutritional content, but masticating juicers are generally the most expensive type. Centrifugal juicers use fast-rotating blades to shred ingredients, separating out the juice via a spinning mesh filter. These are cheaper than masticating models, but they don't separate out as much juice from the pulp. The blades can also heat the juice, which damages some of the flavor components that give it fresh taste.After you attach the device onto your KitchenAid stand mixer (and it fits all household KitchenAid stand mixers), just turn on the mixer power, and its motor will do the job of powering the juicer. You should use the recommended mixer speed with this. KitchenAid easy clean juicer stays true to its name thanks to a ceramic disc that is easy to clean. It minimizes pulp buildup and rinses clean with little to no effort needed in cleaning it. It is also dishwasher safe, for extra convenience. Two main complaints about the juicer are it ‘jams’ and the motor strains, sometimes to the point of over heating. This problem is mentioned above and often is a result of what produce you use, how it is prepared and how it is put through the juicer. Now owned by Whirlpool, KitchenAid is one of the few companies that produce products solely for the kitchen. This specialisation means that every product they design, and every item they sell, is designed solely to make the lives of families and home cooks easier and more enjoyable. If you don’t own a KitchenAid stand mixer then buying a stand alone juicer rather than this mixer-juicer attachment combination makes sense. Unless of course you will be using the stand mixer in many other ways to make your investment worthwhile.In this case, try a masticating juicer from this list or one of these centrifugal juicers.

With its high price, this is definitely a juicer for someone who's going to use it all the time, but it does come with lots of accessories that expand its abilities. It can make nut butters, sorbets, pâté, and perfectly smooth sauces, and it comes with pasta nozzles that let it (kind of) replace a pasta machine. The Greenstar Elite made great juices in all of our tests, but its yields were quite low and it left behind pretty wet pulp, which is especially disappointing for such an expensive machine.
