@@21darkster you could literally hand squeeze the fruit and product more juice than using this garbage tool. then, on top of that, you have to spend time cleaning it. don't defend or be beholden to crappy consumerism products
@@ccgb92 In terms of the orange it was extremely efficient. I'd love to see you hand squeeze a pint of orange juice in the same time it would take with this. You'd lose every time.
For soft fruits like grapes and berries, it's clearly better to blend them than juice them. This shows how much fruit is required just to fill a glass with juice - better to eat it in its natural form or blended- less calories and a whole lot more fibre.
You took the words right out of my keyboard. Fruit juice is nothing but sugar. I once did a comparison of commercial juices to sodas at a restaurant/hotel I worked at. (I was overnight shift, so I had a LOT of dead time.) After multiplying all the juices X1.5 (a serving of soda is a 12 oz can vs a serving of juice at 8 oz), the juices were almost all WAY more sugar than the sodas. Only exception was the lowest sugar juice (orange) vs the highest sugar soda (Mountain Dew), and even that was a close one.
Yup the only way to make fruit unhealthy is to freaking juice the fruit. Yes orange juice is super yummy, it's also just sugar and water with zero fiber. Juice is also a really bad way to extract nutrients from fruits and veggies, amazing the human stomach and intestinal track is pretty great at extracting nutrients from whole fruits and veggies.
@@AustynSN every single commercial juice is also from concentrate or processed in some way. ONE SINGLE brand sells cold pressed orange juice that is indeed just fresh preased orange juice. It's also like 12 bucks foe a bottle of it.
@@christianterrill3503 That's really weird tbh...You can get a 1l (34 oz) bottle of cold pressed orange, blood orange or grapefruit juice for €2 at grocery stores in Germany. Why is organic and "pure" stuff so ridiculously expensive in the US?
The fact that you get such a small amount of juice is why doctors etc tend to advise against drinking a lot of fruit juice, and say to just eat fruit instead. It takes a lot to get a full glass of juice, so you're drinking like 4 apples or oranges worth of sugar in each glass of juice. Unless you juice things yourself, most people probably don't know how much it takes to get one glass of juice.
We have a lemon tree and to juice 50-100 lemons at a time we had to buy a big industrial grade juicer. We kept burning out the motors on these little ones. After watching this I think the Juice Vortex isn't made to handle serious amounts of juicing.
@@maccusmc Even if not: now I'm sitting here in the boring room. It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon. I wonder how, I wonder why. And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.
As I'm getting older and with some arthritic problems squeezing is kind of hard for me and I can see this fitting in to my need for fresh squeezed lemon and lime juice for recipes. I don't know that I would use it to make like orange juice or anything like that but I would use it for a recipes
There are far too many affordable juicers on the market for the low capacity and weak power of this one to justify whatever benefit you'd get from it's smaller size. I can juice things better by hand.
Most are double or triple the price, but with better results and a minimum of triple the capacity, it's definitely worth it to spend more than buying this
If you put the strawberries in the lid part and then connect the base to it upside down I think that would keep the strawberries inside the reamer part. Just a thought. Great video as always James!
The better option is just to have the electronic ones that spin when you press down on them. It doesn’t take a lot to squeeze the peel as the machine’s rotating squeezer and the capacity is much higher in most squeezers. I don’t see the point in this particular gadget unless your hand fractures when squeezing something.
that's what professionals around here in thailand use, which sell orange juice at markets and fairs and stuff. it's just a stainless steel thing that rotates. (the pros use one made of steel and it just rotates constantly, just press and throw away the peel).
But you're limited to citrus fruits. I had one of those press down ones: my experience was always, that the motor wouldn't turn anymore when I applied the needed amount of pressure. This thing in manual it the way to go. Or a real juicer if you have the money and shelf space.
I always find it interesting to watch juicing in general. This is why if you speak with many in the nutrition community they don’t recommend having a lot of juice in your diet (of course you do you), but when you look at how much fruit you end up having to use to get one glass it is eye opening. For example, it takes approx 3 oranges to make enough juice for 1 glass. And juicing takes out all of the good fiber. But again, you do you. I don’t judge, I eat chocolate after all. LOL….
One reason this may have been usb/battery powered is because of design shortcuts. When an appliance plugs into the wall, you have to provide filtering for the electricity going back into the wall. So having it be battery powered neglects the need to rectify AC input voltage, filtering, and a cord. Making the product cheaper to produce and easier to meet codes.
You and Steve 1989 are my favorite CZcamsrs. You're much more consistent though, so I may prefer you. Thanks for the light hearted reviews and entertainment, James.
@@ilovemalechickens yeah, same here. He seems like a pretty chill dude, so I hope he's alright. He's gone several months without posting before, but this is his longest hiatus since I discovered him, several years ago, before he blew up.
This does seem like a good option for people traveling and staying at a hotel. There's usually some apples and/or oranges down in the lobby during breakfast so you wouldn't have to swing by the store and would make for a much better drink than the typical "juice from concentrate" option you (usually) have during breakfast. Of course, it could be improved upon. Having the lid fit in the cylinder tighter, to keep fruit from getting pushed up and not getting juiced, would be nice. Having an AC adapter would also be a plus, though maybe you can plug in the USB while using for some extra power? As far as the dispenser goes, it does seem like its just the right height for the glasses/cups you'd find offered in most hotels. With those improvements and a better price point, I could see this being not too bad of a travel product.
There are manual juicers that have the same profile in the juicing attachment and therefore do just as good as a job. They are lower profile and in a pinch (let's say traveling or camping) you could even just drink from the cup that collects the juice.
I had a full sized juicer years ago and gave it away. It takes to much fruit to made on glass so unless you have fruit trees with more fruit than you know what to do with, it's not cost effective to buy fruit at the store.
Feel like this needed some type of comparison to another juicier or doing it by hand… I have no idea if the amount of juice it creates is a lot or not.
Compared to the old standard "ribbed" juicers or "press juicers" this is a good yield, but there are also manual juicers with the same "scraping" profile and they do the same job in a smaller package and more quickly since you don't have to put the lid or reach into a tube to get the rest of the orange out.
i wish there was a test for a meadley situation. Where you chop various things into pieces and toss them all in. SOmething like a fruit platter kind of shape? as if you prepped a ton of to juice box This would be fairly neat to have at work if i'm honest. easy to stow easy to clean in the corner. Bring in small container of chopped up and frozen stuff that thaws and you make juice foryour afternoon pick up.
I'm more impressed with the high torque motor running the extractor, the batteries may not last too long though, probably around 6 months using it daily.
James, try adding water. Instead of making "juice" make flavored water! In other countries around the world, rather than drinking pure 100% juice, you add water to some natural fruit with a bit of sweetener to your liking and end up with "fruit water". It's healthier and much more refreshing! For this purpose, I think the Juice Vortex is much more suitable.
I don't see how this is better than those $20 electric orange juicer where you press down on it with the fruit and it spins. You can do multiple oranges before having to clean up so it's a lot quicker than this too. Waiting for the juicer in this video to go all the way up, then all the way down, then having to clean it out every half an orange is super inconvenient...and it costs almost 3x as much with less power. I guess the only selling point would be if you really wanted something portable and doesn't need to be plugged in.
how about leaving the spigot open so the pulp doesnt get resaturated when it comes back down ? and try doing 2 cycles in a row without opening the machine.
Considering the cleanup required, I can't imagine many people would really use this in a portable way. To me, it seems like more effort than it's worth. I feel like anyone who has the patience to make their own juices, instead of just buying them, would probably want something with a higher capacity. It works, but seems to be of limited value.
I’m disabled and got into Green juicing for a brief time. Big juicers are soooo heavy, messy and impossible for someone with my limitations. For someone like me, this would be way easier!
Please consider testing the new Dash Electric Butter Sprayer. Thank you for all your reviews. I have bought several things just because you reviewed them and I was able to how well they worked
I think the old Armstrong juicer would be just as efficient or more,don't have to charge. Not really portable. I love my ninja processor, if you don't like pulp, strain it. Thank you , love you, videos James 💐
The problem, as I see it, is that they are asking 4x what I would be willing to spend on it. Plus it is seriously under powered. Oh, and I would see about that pulp left behind on the orange... That could be very nice to add back to the juice (I loves me some pulp)
First, batteries lose power. For those who see pulp as food, it won’t go in garbage. Use it in smoothies. Bakers put in cakes, etc. Put in pancakes. Nice taste touch in savory pies or sauce. Not using the pulp right away put in freezer. ❤
Looks great for citrus fruits, but I wouldn't pay for it and just use my stainless steel hand squeeze citrus juicer. Since you mentioned pomegranite in the beginning I was really curious to see how that would work since well pomegranites have a lot of flesh and all the juice is in the seeds. When they are in season it could be cheaper than buying POM pomegranite juice. E: but I can also see how people with arthritis or older people might have trouble with a hand squeezer so if they want fresh citrus this might be great.
I love pulp in my orange juice...I wouldn't mind this. MY issue is no plug, that thing will be a big paperweight once the battery won't hold a charge. If it doesn't have replaceable batteries or a plug I almost always pass.
Some people don’t understand the need for battery powered kitchen appliances. Probably the same people who haven’t ran out of power or lived in their car.
It's pretty awesome. We're not supposed to be drinking giant glasses of fruit juice at a time anyway. So the juice of one orange is probably just right.
This is an interesting idea but just not useful. Same thing as the portable smoothie maker. Whats the benefit of carrying whole fruit around? Maybe I have a stash at work? It's still messy and inconvenient. I would rather prepare a bunch at home in a bigger container and then take that with me. I have a juicer already and the nice part about that is it extrudes the pulp as you go. It's much easier to juice a whole glass or more (I usually do a liter jug) and you don't have to stop. I think it gets out way more juice than this thing so there's less fruit waste, too.
Man for how little amount of juice is extracted can you imagine how many fruits a manufacturing company goes through just to make bottles of juice , the numbers definitely are through the roof and the waste from juicing must be an incredible amount unless the leftover stuff is sent to animal feed companies.
I recently bought one from Amazon a month ago, I love it. I have a juicer that I have to press down on it when I juicing. . They have one that I saw on pinterst for 600 hundred dollars. so anything is better than nothing at all. and I only paid twenty nine dollars for it.
Yeah... this seems one of those products that is only worth the hassle if you really need for it to be portable... like some camping setting or something like that. Otherwise it's just faster and easier to pull the old regular juicer and make enough juice all at once. Less mess to clean, all in one go. Interesting how they managed to shove both a strong enough motor and batteries all in there though... I always thought that a product like this would be impractical because of basic electronics limitations.
When it comes to juicers especially portability cup things you need to consider capacity and battery power being the two biggest ones The only problem is generally juicing is very expensive there's nothing that you can't get already in a bottle that you can't go home and experiment with any grocery store out there If you really want to do fresh fruit and vegetable juice you're talking about getting a commercial grade juicer a juice man a jack lalane one of the smaller compact commercial-grade units but that can be very expensive to get fresh fruit and vegetables
Valencias! You need Valencia oranges, they're the best juicing oranges. I guess "best" is subjective, but its generally a rule of thumb for getting great orange juice and a good volume per orange.
I don’t know that it’s really useful for on the go like your every day errands type on the go but I do think it would be useful. If you lived somewhere where power outages were common (like somewhere hurricanes are prevalent), you could just charge it off of power Bank or off of a larger solar powered rechargeable battery thing and still have your morning juice
I loved this review..I can't wait to buy one but another brand like a ninja because I'm sure the capacity is bigger and more powerful than a battery operated one
I really enjoy your videos, you offer so much value for consumers and curious people like me! This device seems to have a lot of promise in my opinion. Why not grab a few fruits from the fridge and this thing to throw in your car to enjoy freshly squeezed juice on your lunch break at work? Just have a Ziploc bag for the pulp. I’m also thinking that using a half of a cleaned out orange husk to put Smaller items in, like berries and greens could be useful. Might act like a gasket to keep wasted from cramming up the side. I would love to see you try out that technique.
with a quick search I found a couple of masticating juicers (which will also do vegetables like celery/carrot etc) for the price of this and below, think I would go with that instead. Thank you for the review though!
Saw a bartender's way of making full use of a citrus fruit to extract the juice and it involves soaking the peals in citric acid and another acid and water to extract more juice.
This reminds me of those battery operated salt and pepper grinders. Either the motor wears out after a year (or less), or the grinding blade wears out. They're just not worth the money.
One thing that I would like to see you do is a coffee press. I just bought one on Amazon and it makes a coffee taste so bitter I don’t understand what all the hype is about coffee presses y. I watched so many u tube videos on how to do one, and my coffee still comes out terrible. So my new coffee press, which was only $12 on Amazon is in my giveaway stash.
The lid is pretty conical in shape, I wonder if it would be easier and potentially yield better results with the smaller fruits like grapes and strawberries to fill the lid and flip the base upside down to insert the lid, then flip it back over to actually run it. That way they would get trapped toward the middle instead of sitting on the edges in the way of the lid.
Just go down to Goodwill or Salvation Army and buy an old school manual juicer. It looks like a wide glass jar with one of those reamer things like this juice machine has. It'll be cheaper, easier, less hassle, and never run out of batteries.
I think the problem with that product is that the fruit has to be the perfect size. That's going to be a major pain. Here in Florida we have a orange squeezer so it doesn't really matter what size the oranges just slice it and press down on the handle. I don't very highly that the motor inside that machine is going to last! Thanks for the review!
For reference, a single fresh lemon or lime generally yields around 1oz of juice.
That amount of juice was actually quite efficient.
Yeah this seems more of a limit of the fruit than the device.
I could see it being used for cocktails/shots. It makes a perfect amount of liquid for that.
bro the entire juicer is inefficient. it's far healthier to eat the little white pulp on the outside and the orange itself. obviously not the skin (although some people do)

For the orange, it looked like it was actually super efficient.
I’m sure the juicer would do a lot better, it left just the skin after each use.

It's still messy and inconvenient. I would rather prepare a bunch at home in a bigger container and then take that with me. I have a juicer already and the nice part about that is it extrudes the pulp as you go. It's much easier to juice a whole glass or more (I usually do a liter jug) and you don't have to stop. I think it gets out way more juice than this thing so there's less fruit waste, too.
Man for how little amount of juice is extracted can you imagine how many fruits a manufacturing company goes through just to make bottles of juice , the numbers definitely are through the roof and the waste from juicing must be an incredible amount unless the leftover stuff is sent to animal feed companies.
they usually use the fruit that would never sell in stores
They also add high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavor enhancers. I bet real juice in a can of juice is very less
And that there's not much difference in frozen juice concentrate vs. fresh juice in general could be viewed as "wasteful"
I bought a Kuvings centrifugal juicer awhile back and I love it.
Its fun to watch it work, but that's it lol. My masticating juicer is perfect.
Looking great, thanks Mr. White! 😊
"Doesn't look like there's too much sh-.. material in there."
Thank you. You've stopped me from wasting my money 👍🏽
He almost said "shit" on the apple test!!🤣🤣
To make one cup of fresh orange juice, you need three oranges. Now you know why OJ cost so much.
The orange juice you buy in the store is not the made from the same variety of orange.
Chucked their story card right off the table out of the box 😂
James doesn't mess around with insufficient things, just goes right to....that's part of the charm!
I recently bought one from Amazon a month ago, I love it. I have a juicer that I have to press down on it when I juicing. . They have one that I saw on pinterst for 600 hundred dollars. so anything is better than nothing at all. and I only paid twenty nine dollars for it.
Yeah... this seems one of those products that is only worth the hassle if you really need for it to be portable... like some camping setting or something like that.
Otherwise it's just faster and easier to pull the old regular juicer and make enough juice all at once. Less mess to clean, all in one go.
Interesting how they managed to shove both a strong enough motor and batteries all in there though... I always thought that a product like this would be impractical because of basic electronics limitations.
When it comes to juicers especially portability cup things you need to consider capacity and battery power being the two biggest ones
The only problem is generally juicing is very expensive there's nothing that you can't get already in a bottle that you can't go home and experiment with any grocery store out there
If you really want to do fresh fruit and vegetable juice you're talking about getting a commercial grade juicer a juice man a jack lalane one of the smaller compact commercial-grade units but that can be very expensive to get fresh fruit and vegetables
I guess the idea is that your glass is supposed to already be half full of ice and vodka? INSTANT SCREWDRIVER.
"wonder if I do it again would I get more juice out of it" what she said 🤣🤣🤣
Valencias! You need Valencia oranges, they're the best juicing oranges. I guess "best" is subjective, but its generally a rule of thumb for getting great orange juice and a good volume per orange.
i would like to a bigger disign that holds more liquid and fruits. that can also juice multiple times
Great testing. I was hoping for a ginger test.
I don’t know that it’s really useful for on the go like your every day errands type on the go but I do think it would be useful. If you lived somewhere where power outages were common (like somewhere hurricanes are prevalent), you could just charge it off of power Bank or off of a larger solar powered rechargeable battery thing and still have your morning juice
Before summer you should test 5 ice shavers
I loved this review..I can't wait to buy one but another brand like a ninja because I'm sure the capacity is bigger and more powerful than a battery operated one
I really enjoy your videos, you offer so much value for consumers and curious people like me! This device seems to have a lot of promise in my opinion. Why not grab a few fruits from the fridge and this thing to throw in your car to enjoy freshly squeezed juice on your lunch break at work? Just have a Ziploc bag for the pulp. I’m also thinking that using a half of a cleaned out orange husk to put Smaller items in, like berries and greens could be useful. Might act like a gasket to keep wasted from cramming up the side. I would love to see you try out that technique.
Always Entertaining and Informative!
with a quick search I found a couple of masticating juicers (which will also do vegetables like celery/carrot etc) for the price of this and below, think I would go with that instead. Thank you for the review though!
Drinks lemon juice. Silently exits stage left! 🤣
I kept thinking, chop stuff up and you can fit more! I just use the Ninja and blend stuff up
You broke my heart rinsing the pulp down the sink. I would of eaten that. Me being a FL boy (Duuuuuuuuvaaaaaaaaaaal) I love me some citrus!!!!
Fuji apple with seeds, stem, and sticker!
Saw a bartender's way of making full use of a citrus fruit to extract the juice and it involves soaking the peals in citric acid and another acid and water to extract more juice.
This reminds me of those battery operated salt and pepper grinders.
Either the motor wears out after a year (or less), or the grinding blade wears out.
They're just not worth the money.
One thing that I would like to see you do is a coffee press. I just bought one on Amazon and it makes a coffee taste so bitter I don’t understand what all the hype is about coffee presses y. I watched so many u tube videos on how to do one, and my coffee still comes out terrible. So my new coffee press, which was only $12 on Amazon is in my giveaway stash.
By the end of this video, you probably has had more vitamins than through the previous 3 years.
The lid is pretty conical in shape, I wonder if it would be easier and potentially yield better results with the smaller fruits like grapes and strawberries to fill the lid and flip the base upside down to insert the lid, then flip it back over to actually run it. That way they would get trapped toward the middle instead of sitting on the edges in the way of the lid.
"Someone has to be right." My man, it's 2023. Everyone can be wrong.
This might be suitable for travel for a hotel stay; maybe if you don't want to buy heavy metal laced, Simply Orange and prefer to blend your own.
Just go down to Goodwill or Salvation Army and buy an old school manual juicer. It looks like a wide glass jar with one of those reamer things like this juice machine has. It'll be cheaper, easier, less hassle, and never run out of batteries.
Great review! My favorite part was when you drank the lemon juice!
Fruit compared to its weight and volume doesn’t have much sugar and juice.. it’s mostly fiber.. just think of the oranges u need for a full glass
7:43 Hey! This is a family channel :D
I think the problem with that product is that the fruit has to be the perfect size. That's going to be a major pain. Here in Florida we have a orange squeezer so it doesn't really matter what size the oranges just slice it and press down on the handle. I don't very highly that the motor inside that machine is going to last! Thanks for the review!
people on here expecting a whole glass of juice out of an orange. I have citrus trees and O squeeze 30+ lemons to make a few batches of lemonade.
Remember that the original juice glass size was only 4 oz. An 8-oz glass of orange juice goes from healthy 2 diabetes immediately.
