Okay, confession time: I’m a juicing fanatic. I’ve practically got a graveyard of juicers in my garage – each promising the world, but ultimately ending up gathering dust. From the ear-splitting roar of centrifugal models to those hand-cranked contraptions that gave me Popeye arms, I thought I’d seen it all. So, when the MSWEGKRE 800W Masticating Juicer landed on my doorstep, I was intrigued, but not exactly holding my breath. “Slow and soothing,” huh? Could this thing actually deliver?

First Look:
Right off the bat, this juicer looks the part. The sleek, red design adds a nice splash of color to my kitchen (which, let’s be honest, is mostly just a sea of stainless steel). But the real win? Assembly was a total breeze. I’m talking five minutes, tops. Seriously, that’s a record in my book! And that oversized feed chute? Game changer. I usually spend ages chopping everything into tiny, bite-sized pieces. The thought of just tossing in whole apples and carrots? Pure bliss.
Does It Juice? Oh, It Juices.
And boy, does it juice! I threw in whole apples, chunks of ginger the size of my thumb – no problem. That 800W motor definitely has some muscle. Carrots? Beets? This thing chewed right through them. But the real kicker was the juice yield. I swear, I was getting way more juice from the same amount of produce compared to my old centrifugal beast. That “96% juice yield” claim might be a smidge ambitious, but honestly, it’s pretty darn close.
Now, about that “slow” part… yeah, they weren’t kidding. This isn’t a race. The 60 RPM slow extrusion takes its sweet time, but the result? A noticeably smoother, less gritty juice. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you. And speaking of smooth, I really dig the separation function. No one likes foamy juice, and this juicer kept the good stuff separate from the pulp.
Clean-Up Crew:
Cleaning… ugh. Usually, it’s the part of juicing I dread the most. But the MSWEGKRE? Surprisingly painless. It comes apart in seconds, and most of the bits and bobs are dishwasher safe. Plus, they throw in a little brush for those stubborn bits of pulp that cling on for dear life.
More Than Just Juice?
Okay, so I’m mostly a fruit-and-veg kinda gal, but I was curious about the whole ice cream and smoothie thing. I haven’t braved the ice cream yet (maybe next week!), but I did whip up a quick green smoothie using the included cold press cup. It worked a charm, although I did need to add a splash more liquid than usual to get it all blended nicely.
A Few Little Hiccups:
Look, nothing’s perfect, right? The MSWEGKRE has a couple of quirks. It’s not exactly whisper-quiet. Not jet-engine loud, but definitely not something you’d want to use during a late-night movie. Also, the pulp container is a bit on the petite side. If you’re planning on juicing a mountain of produce, be prepared to empty it a few times.
The Final Squeeze:
All in all, I’m genuinely impressed with the MSWEGKRE 800W Masticating Juicer. It’s efficient, a cinch to use, and delivers top-notch juice. Sure, it’s not the cheapest option out there, but if you’re serious about juicing, I reckon it’s a solid investment. If you’re hunting for a slow juicer that can handle pretty much anything you throw at it, and won’t leave you scrubbing for hours, the MSWEGKRE is definitely worth a look.
The Good:
- Seriously impressive juice yield
- That big feed chute is a lifesaver
- Cleaning? Actually manageable!
- Versatile enough for smoothies and (maybe) ice cream
The Not-So-Good:
- A little on the noisy side
- Pulp container could be bigger
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars – Go get your juice on!
