Review- Many years ago, we had a centrifugal juicer specially designed for citrus fruits. Although I like juice, it takes up a lot of space and we only use it for a few types of juice occasionally. Enter the Nutribullet slow juicer, it can juice almost any fruit or vegetable. It is bad for me to eat enough fruits and vegetables in my diet, but I like good smoothies, so I hope this product can help me improve my healthy food quotient.
what is it?
Nutribullet slow juicer is a chewy fruit and vegetable juicer. “Chewing” means that it crushes and crushes fruits/vegetables and separates the pulp from the liquid. Chewing juicers are an upgraded version of the cheapest centrifugal juicers on the market, and they can extract more juice from a wider range of sources. The resulting juice is usually of higher quality, longer shelf life, slower separation speed, and less foam. I worked in a cafe in a health food store when I was in college. We had a chewing juicer worth thousands of dollars. I love my good carrot apple ginger juice.

Design and features
This is a Nutribullet Slow Juicer, and its feed chute/food pusher/ and top cover have been removed. There are 2 nozzles, one for the pulp and the other for the juice. The juice outlet has a seal that can completely prevent the juice from flowing out (for example, if you need to change the glass or container during the juice extraction process).
The view inside the machine shows the grinding components inside the juice bowl.
This is the main juice bowl assembly removed from the motor base. Everything is easy to separate for easy cleaning and storage.
The bottom surface of the grinding component adopts heavy-duty stainless steel and high-strength plastic structure. It is inserted into the steel motor bracket and looks like it can be used for a long time.
Another view of the grinding component of the Nutrillet slow juicer. This design basically pulls/pushes the food material toward the bottom, and presses the food material on the juice bowl at the bottom to extract the juice.
The on/off/reverse switch on the back is easy to use. I never need it, but the reverse is there, just in case it gets stuck.
The pulp and juice collectors are nested in each other for storage-a nice touch. Both are easy to clean and large enough to squeeze a few glasses of juice.
Set up and use
After assembling the Nutribullet slow juicer (just a few minutes), you need to prepare the fruits/vegetables. Nutribullet includes a great recipe book and more recipes on their website. You can also try almost any fruit or vegetable (they warn against juicing avocados and bananas, but as long as the hard core and rind are removed, most other things are fine). I start with my favorite carrot/apple/ginger. I rinsed everything, peeled the ginger, cut the apples into small pieces small enough to fit in the feeding trough, and then chopped the top of the carrots.
The next step is as simple as feeding the ingredients into the feed chute and turning on the Nutribullet slow juicer. After a while, the juice began to flow from the right chute, and most of the dry pulp flowed from the center. If you use different kinds of food, Nutribullet recommends alternating the food type between soft and hard, but I find that regardless of the consistency, it will be happy with whatever I feed. I do have some small limes that occasionally stay on top and won’t be pulled down for juice, but halving the limes seems to solve the problem.
The juice container has measurement marks for ounces and milliliters, and the juice outlet has a stopper. This is convenient if you add water to the juice container during the juice extraction process.
This is the finished product! This is amazing, just as good as I used that thousands of dollars worth of juicer in college. The resulting juice is medium pulp, depending on what you are using (for example, orange juice is a standard normal pulp consistency). If you want, you can easily filter out more pulp through a filter or cheesecloth.
I tried various vegetables and fruits in the Nutribullet slow juicer, but I didn’t find any problems (I avoided bananas and avocados as recommended). Among other things, I squeezed papaya, pineapple, apple, carrot, cucumber, ginger, kale, spinach, parsley, and lime. Even for citrus fruits, it is much better than the old centrifugal citrus juicer we used before. It can extract more juice and takes up about the same storage space.
what do I like
- Easy to use
- Quite easy to clean, and most of them can be cleaned in a dishwasher
- Good price for chewing juicer
What will i change
- I can’t remember anything!
Final thoughts
Although my face after trying cucumber/spinach/kale/orange juice is here now, the Nutribullet slow juicer has won a permanent place on our countertop. Compared to the days before using the Nutribullet slow juicer, the amount of fruits and vegetables I eat has increased exponentially, which may be the best result. It feels durable and affordable for chewing juicers. Interestingly, I have only heard good news about Nutribullet, and they have been around for a few years, so I hope to get good customer support and warranty coverage in the event of any problems.
