The Eilkos Cold Press Juicer is designed for "zero-prep" juicing with its 4.41-inch wide feed chute. This aperture allows for whole fruits to be dropped in directly, which can save a significant amount of time during a busy morning. The unit uses a 350W copper-coil DC motor that operates at a slow 50-60 RPM, providing high torque for crushing hard vegetables like beets and carrots without stalling.
The juicing bowl is made from BPA-free Tritan™ plastic, known for its impact resistance. A practical feature is the silicone pulp plug at the bottom of the bowl; ensuring this is fully seated before use is key to preventing leaks. While the wide chute is versatile, cutting fibrous vegetables like celery into 2-inch pieces helps maintain the health of the gear housing by reducing structural strain.
This model is designed for quiet operation, producing noise levels below 60dB. To maintain the fine mesh of the stainless steel filter, it is helpful to rinse it immediately after use. Its vertical design is efficient for counter space, though at approximately 18.5 inches tall, it is best suited for kitchens with generous cabinet clearance or open islands.
If you are looking for a model that specializes in citrus with a motorized lever press for maximum leverage, consider the Breville Citrus Press.
