Design Overview
This juicer showcases Smeg's iconic 1950s Italian retro aesthetic, available in charming colors like pastel blue and classic white. It even joins the Dolce & Gabbana collection. You can find it at Williams Sonoma, alongside matching toasters and kettles.
This petite appliance occupies minimal counter space while its sturdy die-cast aluminum body, lightweight stainless steel reamer, and BPA-free Tritan lid ensure durability and easy maintenance.
As noted in the previous review, 'The Smeg Citrus Juicer is intuitive to set up. Attachments easily fit together, and the strainer can be removed for those who prefer pulp-free juice. Juice flows smoothly from the spout into your glass, and setup is a breeze.'
Ease of Use
In our reviews of cold press juicers, we've found them complicated. This electric juicer, however, has straightforward controls that make it easy to start.
Just plug it in and press your cut citrus onto the reamer to activate it. You can rotate the fruit for maximum extraction, with juice and pulp flowing effortlessly into the tray.
When tested in 2021, it amazed us with its simplicity, and I was equally impressed this time. After mixing fresh margaritas, I found it quiet enough not to disturb others in the kitchen. You can enjoy fresh juice without waking anyone up!
Juicing Performance
Test 1: Orange Juice
I sliced oranges in half and positioned a glass below the spout. The juicer efficiently extracted juice from the first orange, allowing me to maneuver it for every last drop. The strainer effectively caught pulp and seeds, and the resulting juice was fresh and flavorful.
In a comparison, the Smeg juicer produced about 175ml from three oranges, while a manual reamer yielded only 150ml from the same amount—demonstrating its superior efficiency. For larger families, you'll need more than three oranges!
Test 2: Lemons & Limes
This juicer excelled with smaller citrus fruits like lemons and limes. I typically find manual squeezing tiresome and painful, but the Smeg made it a breeze—perfect for enlisting kids to help with lemonade!
Test 3: Grapefruit Juice
The Smeg handled a large grapefruit effortlessly, delivering fresh juice quickly. I cherish grapefruit juice in the mornings, and finding it in stores can be tough. Cleaning it up to return to Smeg was challenging—I didn't want to part with it!
Cleaning Process
Both reviewers agree that cleaning this juicer is simpler than using it. The reamer, basin, and strainer are all dishwasher-friendly. Unlike cold press juicers, which can be messy, this one cleans up in a snap.
Customer Feedback
We also examine customer reviews to see how well products perform in real-life settings. Generally, responses are favorable. Some noted concerns about the plastic components being delicate during cleaning, but I found them to be durable and liked that they're BPA-free.
Price is a common point of contention—spending around $200 can feel extravagant. While I initially thought it was overpriced, its effortless performance, easy cleaning, and stunning design won me over. I've added one to my wedding registry!
Is the Smeg Citrus Juicer Worth the Price?
The Smeg Citrus Juicer retails for about $200 in the US. While it's undeniably pricey, if that doesn't alarm you, consider how it's a delightful luxury addition. I envision using it regularly for fresh juice during weekend brunches.
This juicer is also great for cocktails—perfect for making mojitos, margaritas, and palomas. It would become a staple in my kitchen.
During a culinary demo, I saw chef Clodagh McKenna use this juicer to create a quick orange cake with sweet syrup. For those who enjoy baking easy, fruity desserts, this electric juicer could be a game-changer.
For a coordinated kitchen, you can pair the Smeg Citrus Juicer with the best toasters and best blenders—Smeg offers a vibrant color range for easy matching.
