Yes, that’s right. This is also a small household appliance. What? It looks like a portable juicer? Actually, it hides a power cord behind it. When I first saw this product, I wasn’t very interested because there are many powerful juicers on the market now. However, I was impressed by its design, especially since I consider myself a fan of Smeg to some extent. After testing it, I found that it comes with a powerful 85-watt motor, bidirectional juicing technology, and intelligent automatic start-stop function. This citrus fruit juicer can easily handle various fruits and adds convenience to the juicing process. If you want to learn more about its features, please continue reading.

Smeg’s classic retro design, rounded exterior complemented by the iconic cream color scheme, is available in various colors for your selection. Moreover, the application of the stainless steel filter ensures a more delicate juice texture, effortlessly separating pulp and seeds to provide users with a refreshing and smooth juice experience. The design of the non-slip base prioritizes user safety, ensuring the device remains securely stable during the juicing process.
In addition, the introduction of a robust 85-watt electric motor and the utilization of bidirectional juicing technology make the extraction of citrus fruits more efficient and convenient. The automatic start-stop function not only lowers the entry barrier for usage but also enhances overall operational convenience. The Tritan cover, when not in use, serves as dust protection. It can also function as a bowl for both fruit and peels, increasing the overall practicality of the machine.
Performance
I tested the machine using the most common fruit with peel – oranges. I simply cut the fruit in half, placed the orange on the device, and pressed the button to start it. The machine’s quiet operation will surprise you, as it makes almost no noise at all. Even if you want to enjoy a freshly squeezed juice in the morning, it won’t disturb your family. One orange yielded approximately one-third of a cup of orange juice. If you aim to have a full cup of orange juice, you’ll need around three to four oranges. There is a filter beneath, so you won’t consume any pulp.

Cleaning
Cleaning is also quite simple, as some parts are removable and can be placed in the dishwasher. You can also hand wash them using warm water and a neutral detergent. The filter should be given special attention; use a soft brush or sponge to carefully clean fruit pulp and residues. Wipe the outer shell of the machine with a damp cloth, avoiding submerging the entire machine in water. Finally, ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling to maintain the hygiene and performance of the equipment.
