DeLonghi A960 Citrus Juicer Attachment for Stand Mixer Models DSM7 and DSM5 |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Simplicity & Efficiency!!
Comments: This item attaches to the 1st of the2accessory outlets on the top of the DSM7 mixer towards the back. It's incredibly easy to attach and has no sharp edges, so anyone over the age of 6 or so should have no problems with it.
Since this sits on top of the mixer, you will need space above the mixer to be able to use it. If you have the space, and can reach it, this is a great attachment.
It consists of just 4 parts which are designed to work well and keep your kitchen clean.
I enjoy the bounty of my friends' grapefruit trees, and this juicer works well for grapefruit as well as smaller citrus fruits. (I have had issues in the past with grapefruits being too large for some juicers.)
Cleanup is easy, ething is designed to work efficiently and clean up quickly. |

Summary: Orange you glad you got this
Comments: Apologies for that lame title. I am, however, glad I got this attachment. Whether you have a high-yield orange tree or whether you get your juice oranges from the farmers' market, or Costco or wherever, this is an excellent purchase for your DeLonghi mixer.
Why?
- Unlike some standalone citrus juicers, you have the awesome power of the DSM-7 turning that juicing cone. Nothing slows it down.
- I was worried about leakage on to the mixer. No such thing. I went berserk on the 1st day and liquefied 38-40 oranges and produced over half a gallon of juice. I do not even have to wipe a drop off the mixer.
- I was worried about the height, since I need my manual juicer low enough so I can comfortably press the orange half. The DSM-7 sticks the juice cone way high up. however the cone design and rotation speed require little pressure so I do not need the lower position.
- The collecting bowl can hold 600ml. Comfortably,3glasses of juice for almost all. Or2really big glasses. I like that.
- The metal strainer design is nice because it seems to hold the nasty pulp behind and let only some of the great, non-bitter pulp and sacs go into the collector so the juice has excellent body and texture. No seeds get through at all.
-1of the things that few manufacturers think of refining is the pouring design. DeLonghi (Kenwood) isn't1of those. The juice pours out clean, without trickling down the sides of the collector or escaping down the center hole.
- The juice cone has a nice shape that is smooth and doesn't tear up the orange from the inside. Leaves a clean inside where the stringy pulp appears neatly ironed back. I have used a lot of juice cones, both manual and powered, and this1is really well designed. Transparent hard glass-like plastic that's easy to clean.
- Assembly and disassembly is neat, quick, clean. As is cleaning. There are no sharp inside corners or areas that can accumulate dirt. Ething is smooth and flowing, and the see-through cone lets you make sure nothing stayed inside after washing.
- My six-year old was able to juice 12 orange halves by himself. It's that easy and that safe (do keep watch if you are going to let your kids use your stand mixer though). He was also able to attach the juicer on the mixer
- If you like more body in your juice (like Grovestand minus the awful taste of carton juice) just run the delonghi's spatula gently over the collected pulp in the strainer.
- The collecting cup is graduated so you can see 200, 400, 600 ml levels, probably great to read one,2or3glasses of juice. Even if you exceed 600ml, the design is forgiving and you will not have that extra orange half make the deep collecting cup overflow.
I love the design. It is so well thought out - the size, the materials, shape, compatibility, ease of cleaning. I was a bit skeptical and considered purchaseing a standalone juicer. however I am glad I got this one. The only fault is that you need a DSM-7 or DSM-5 to use it. Not going to cost it any stars. |
