CCJ-500 specifications

The Cuisinart CCJ-500 is an innovative electric citrus juicer designed for home cooks and juice enthusiasts alike. Known for its combination of style and functionality, this juicer makes extracting fresh juice from citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits a breeze.

One of the main features of the CCJ-500 is its patented Final-Spin technology.

This means users can enjoy more juice without needing to exert excessive effort.

Another standout characteristic of the CCJ-500 is its adjustable reamer. This feature allows users to select the size of the reamer based on the type of citrus fruit being juiced. The reamer comes with two different cone sizes, providing versatility for small limes as well as larger grapefruits. The auto-reverse function further optimizes juice extraction, ensuring that the pulp is thoroughly removed from the fruit.

The design of the Cuisinart CCJ-500 is both stylish and practical. The appliance features a sleek stainless steel housing, which not only enhances durability but also complements modern kitchen aesthetics. Additionally, the large, 34-ounce capacity juice pitcher is an added convenience, allowing users to juice multiple fruits at once without the need for frequent emptying.

Ease of use is another highlight of the CCJ-500. It features a simple one-touch operation, making it accessible even for those with limited kitchen experience. Cleanup is a breeze as well, with removable parts that are dishwasher safe, ensuring that users spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying their freshly squeezed juice.
