Shine SJX-1 Easy Cold Press Juicer with XL Feed Chute and Compact Body, Gray

I got to admit, I was quite skeptical upon receiving this juicer as i had been using a large centrifugal juicer that was fast and I felt that I didn't get as much juice out of the Shine. However, the reason I purchased it was because I am traveling weekly (by car) for the next 3 years and wanted a compact juicer to bring with me. Now that I have been using it for nearly a month, I am in love with it. First of all it is simple to use if you follow the instructions. I have no problem putting it together & taking it apart to clean. (Just make sure you remember to replace the plug from the pulp chute on the bottom before trying to put it together. ) There are only 3 pieces to clean. I have yet to need either of the included cleaning brushes or the scraper thing to dislodge stuck food. All in all it is better than the centrifugal juicer I was using that constantly had to be stopped to clean the mesh screen from caked & dried fibrous fruits and veggies. The only reason I stop the Shine is to empty the pulp cup which has much drier pulp than the centrifugal juicer. I really don't anticipate any mechanical issues as there are no blades to dull or fine mesh screens to get clogged up. Oh yeah & it is much quieter than my other juicer as well. Win, win, win.

This Shine Cold Press juicer works great with most everything except celery and ginger. The celery and ginger get stuck and won’t come out the shoot. Other than that it’s great. It is super easy to put together and super easy to take apart and clean. I’m keeping it even even though the celery and ginger gets stuck because of how easy it is to use.

This Juicer is worth the price. Compact and works great. Easy to clean. I do recommend cutting celery small as the stringeyness can get caught in disposal shoot.

I was very disappointed in this juicer. It may only have 3 parts, but that doesn't mean it's any easier to clean than one with 4 parts. In fact, I think it would have been easier if the screen had been a separate part. And, although I am not an engineer and know nothing of design, I have to wonder if that doesn't contribute to the excess juice left in the pulp. The pulp is very wet!!Moreover, anything with any fiber, even if you chop celery into inch-long pieces, tends to clog the pulp chute. This happens with beet tops and kale. I know it's not ideal for wheatgrass, but it was pretty clear that it doesn't press any juice out of the grass blades. A centrifugal juicer might have done as well.The flavor of the juice was good, and there is minimal oxidation. That's why this is 2 stars and not only 1. I am returning the juicer and getting an Omega horizontal one. I had one before and loved it, but had to leave it behind a couple of years ago in a move.

Bought this coming from an OLD juicer, this was much faster and for the price it worked well. This juicer can handle large pieces with ease. It is VERY easy to clean needing mostly warm water and nothing else to remove pulp. Putting it together is simple enough its only 3 pieces you don't need instructions.Now for the down sides:I doesn't extract as much juice as my old juicer. It was a similar model with a smaller hopper but the pulp was DRY. This unit while being faster leaves more juice behind in the pulp.The top of the hopper has a "cup' that swings to allow food in. It seems to be designed stop you from cramming massive pieces in the machine but it simply gets in the way. Once you have your fruits and veggies prepared constantly having to "dump" things in is annoying.And the worst... If you look at my picture there is a red circle this is where it leaks this is a rubber gasket that the augur sits on, below that is the motor. I have tried to recreate the problem. From what I can tell it leaks when you try to juice harder root crops ... like jicama, beets, carrots Last time is used this it leaked BAD when I tried juicing beets it leaked bad enough that I started to smell something burning. I quickly shut it off.I don't know if mine is defective but this is a deal breaker for me. This juicer is advertised showing you can put whole carrots and full apples. you probably can but I'm sure it will leak.

Great little juicer for someone starting out with juicing, or a good travel juicer for someone who juices regularly at home and wants to be able to make juice while traveling.I bought this for my sister, who wanted an unintimidating juicer to start with. I used it at her house and like it. It can handle things such as carrot, celery, green apple. Its manual says it has a 20-minute maximum continuous runtime before it needs to rest, but that's plenty of time.Fast and easy to clean. Much easier and faster to clean than the more powerful Kuvings EVO820 juicer I have at home.Very compact. John Kohler (who has thousands of videos on YouTube about juicing) uses a Shine compact juicer for when he's traveling, since it would fit in carry-on luggage.

This juice exceeded all of my expectations 100%. There were so many different juicers out there and when I came across this one the price scared me. It's so affordable compared to bigger and more elaborate juicers that I was hesitant on whether or not it would get the job done. Surprisingly this baby juices whole fruit like a pro. I am new in my juicing journey and with this juicers help I have fallen in love with everything about juicing. From the ease of creating so many different flavors to watching it do its Thang. I look forward to using my juicer just to watch it work. It may be small but packs a good punch and is super easy to clean. I love the. Brushes that it came with and actually use them for other things around the house because that is how easy the clean up is. I don't even need to use the Brushes. I've been juicing since the beginning of January 2023 and so far it hasn't failed yet but continues to surprise me. Buy Buy Buy!
