Final Verdict
The Hamilton Beach 67608A Big Mouth Juice Extractor is very highly regarded by both review sites and by purchasers. A remarkable 82 percent of users rate the 67608A at four stars or better, with almost 60 percent giving it a full five stars. Many users like how easy it is to operate the unit. They like the fact that it has only one control, an On and Off switch, and you simply turn the unit on and put your desired ingredients into the feed chute. The extra large feed chute is also a winner with purchasers. It’s time-consuming to have to prepare all the ingredients that go into a juicer before you put them in, and a 3-inch diameter chute saves a lot of preparation.
Users like the dishwasher safe parts, but a lot of reviewers mention that they are able to cut down on cleaning time even further by lining the pulp bin with a plastic shopping bag, and then disposing of it when the juicing session is done. Users point out that the pulp still contains a good deal of juice, but many also report that they like to use the pulp as ingredients in soups, stews, and other dishes and drinks that need a lot of fiber in them, which they consider an added bonus of the machine.
