Hotpoint-Ariston SJ 15XL UP0

The appliance from the Italian brand will look great in a techno-style kitchen. Its chrome-plated metal body, combined with black plastic and tinted glass, looks strict and elegant. The impression of premium technology is immediately created, and these feelings are close to the truth. The compact device, having an average power and low speed — 50 rpm, is able to squeeze fresh juice out of the hardest carrots in a matter of minutes.

The principle of gentle extraction allows you to squeeze juice from any product at one speed — stone fruits and berries, herbs, roots and even wheat germ.

Squeeze it all out and don't lose a drop!

The fruits are processed by a spiral screw press — it is made of extremely hard and durable plastic. The ground mixture passes through the filter and is divided into two parts — the juice is drained into one tank, the cake or mashed potatoes into another. Both tanks have the same capacity — 1 liter. The tube through which the juice flows is equipped with a special stopper that prevents leakage. It is also impossible for juice to get on the table after the process is stopped — the “drop-stop” system is triggered.

Reverse stroke

The device has a reverse — reverse rotation of the screw. Why is it needed? To get the most out of the auger-grinded products. The second reason to turn on the reverse rotation is the jamming of the mechanism due to solid particles. Turning back, the auger will get rid of the “foreign body”. The motor starts smoothly and smoothly changes the direction of rotation.

The Hotpoint SJ 15XL UPO has a wide mouth, so many fruits and vegetables can be thrown whole. Too large has to be cut into slices — so the screw processes the raw materials faster. If something lingers in the neck, you can use the pusher.

Sucker legs and other "chips"

So that the device does not vibrate and does not move during operation, it was equipped with rubberized legs. These are real suction cups that adhere securely to any surface. Thanks to them, the device is stable while working with the hardest products. Washing the juicer is not easy, it is especially difficult to clean the filter, but thanks to the brush that comes with the kit, washing is simplified. The model from Hotpoint can be an excellent acquisition, but, according to users, its price is somewhat overpriced.
