I had this juicer and it did a good job but it is old technology. It does not have a pulp extractor and is a real pain to clean. I finally got rid of it.
i clean out the centrifuge with a spoon, and the apple is extremely dry. After I'm finished, I add some water to the apple peelings and let the mules eat it. The centrifuge does not have to be completely washed after each cleaning, however, it can be sprayed with a hose. Also, unless you have already cut up all your apples, it's hard to do three gallons in 30 minutes! I pick, cut, and juice three gallons in about 2 1/2 hours. That includes washing out my stuff.
@TacticalCitySlicker Natural apple juice looks like that because it is not filtered. Also, most apple juice you buy in the store is reconstituted from concentrate (very watered down.) If you find a bottle of natural apple juice in a health food store it looks just like that.
Quote From Health Line... The tiny black seeds found in an apple’s core contain amygdalin, a substance that releases cyanide when it comes into contact with human digestive enzymes, but acute toxicity is rare with accidental ingestion of seeds. Apple seeds, as well as many other fruit seeds or pits, have a strong outer layer that is resistant to digestive juices. But if you chew the seeds, amygdalin could be released in the body and produce cyanide. Small amounts can be detoxified by enzymes in your body, but large amounts can be dangerous.
@thenodnarb If you took 3 hours to juice 3 gallons of juice then your juicer is not the same. I can do 3 gallons in about 30 minutes. But this type of juicer is best for smaller quantities and a crusher and press is best for large quantities. It all depends on the volume you need to juice. A crusher and press is not exactly a countertop unit.
@Balefulmoon It depends. Mostly I try to dehydrate the apples but this year I was behind (had a lot of pears to dehydrate) and so I didn't get to my apples early enough. They were too ripe to dehydrate well but just right for juicing (and eating.)
this is good for small quantities but for doing large quantities Get the Happy Valley Ranch grinder. Hands down the best apple grinder short of the giant commercial units. You still need to press it(and they have grinder/presses but they are expensive) , but you can do a gallon in about 5 minutes. I did 3 gallons with a jack lelane juicer which is the same as this one effectively, and it took all afternoon. like 3 hours! 3 gallons with a happy valley ranch press=15 minutes or less!
@Irondiesel If you like pulp in your juice then go for it. However that is not a "problem." You also have the option of eating the fruit whole & getting all the fiber & vitamins. I do that quite often. Another of your non "problems" is the loss of vitamins. Sure I like to drink the juice fresh. But this video is about preserving it for future use. Any form of food preservation entails some loss of vitamins. That is not a "problem" much less a "very important problem." Your issues are non issues.
I use a rubber or silicone spatula with the end cut off at an angle. Then scrape it around the inside of the basket and drop the pulp on a piece of paper towel or newspaper. after removing the basket from the machine. You can get nearly all the pulp out in a few seconds. Then I put the basket and other parts in a sink full of soapy water and clean with a wash cloth, and scrub the shredder and the inside of the basket with a nylon brush. Clean up is as easy as any pulp ejector machine maybe easier.
How is this compared with the Omega juicer. Someone locally is selling a used Juicerator 6001 for $125 and I am wondering if it is a good price? Thanks.
There are abaca sleeves to line the basket, that make emptying it/clean up much easier -- and they too are biodegradable. I've had my Acme since 1976 -- it's kept me alive when I had no $ as apples and carrots are relatively cheap.
Two very important problems with the way your juicing. One, your losing ALL the fiber in the basket. I usually put a spoon full or two of the pulp in my juice. Not the skin part just the pulp. My juicer keeps the pulp separate from all the other left overs. And Two, You need to drink this juice right away so you get all the nutrition out of the fresh vegetables and fruits. If it's even a half day old your losing a lot of the nutrition.
have the chance y one for 10. I was curious i know unlike my other juicer I will have to cut fruits in smaller pieces ....which is okay with me but how dry does is the pulp after juicing . I find with my newer juicer the pulp is not dry at all and I think that I could be tossing alot tat should of been juiced
I have seen juicers in other countries with manual pulp extraction. Here is a good example: czcams.com/video/ykiYBGNdUZA/video.html For the life of me, I can't figure out why we can't make the same one here in the US
They make paper filters for these that you could get on Amazon. They make cleaning these significantly easier.
The filters make cleaning MUCH easier too.

I've got this same model, inherited it from my parents. Hasn't let me down yet!

I use a soft brush, the kind made to clean mushrooms.
Is that the original blade your using?

Please tell me how to take off the top of the juicer to clean it out

Excellent video, Doc. Thanks for posting this. How much juice do you usually put up for a year?
I have an acme and I'm trying to figure out how u really clean the centrifuge part that collects the junk..any suggestions

They make filter paper for it
Those filters really do make cleaning a snap.

That was some brown looking apple juice... how come?
It looks like you barely got any juice out of the apples for how many apples you juiced. About one cup?
