Quick Verdict
I tossed uncut strawberries, carrots and apples straight into the 6.5-inch chute of this press juicer machine and it juiced them fast, spitting out pulp so dry it barely dripped. It’s louder than I’m used to, but the yield and the no-cutting chute sealed it for me on the first run.
Buy if you:
- hate prepping produce and want to drop in whole apples with no cutting
- juice for a family and want a big self-feeding hopper
- want dry pulp and high juice yield in one pass
- like a machine that also does sorbet and nut milk
Skip if you:
- juice at 5am and need silence, this one runs louder than my old juicer
- want a tiny footprint, it’s a big beast on the counter
- get frustrated fiddling with a touchscreen and timer to just hit start

Why This Press Juicer Machine Stays Visible
Most juicers I test punish you for not cutting your produce down to size first. The AFBEST press juicer machine is the first one that made me feel stupid for reaching for a knife. Tall, clean, with a touchscreen up front, it looks like it belongs in a showroom, and it juices like it means it.
The big selling point is the wide chute that lets you skip the cutting board entirely. I raided my fridge, grabbed strawberries, carrots and apples, and just started dropping them in. No prep, no measuring. That looked very strange going in, but I bet it tastes fantastic on the way out.
What the 6.5-Inch Chute Actually Does
The 6.5-inch chute handles whole apples and strawberries uncut, I dropped in chunks as-is and it swallowed them without complaint. My chunks were pretty big and I worried I’d cut them too large, but the machine handled them fine anyway.
Setup was super simple. Taking it out of the package, the whole bottom part was already put together. The only thing I had to do was slide in the top part up top. Sometimes juicers can be confusing to assemble, but this one wasn’t. The drip tray needs to go on before you start, or juice lands on your counter.
It Juiced That Mix Really Fast
Man, this machine is quite a beast. Once I loaded up my strawberry, carrot and apple mix and got it running, I could see juice wanting to come out almost right away, and on the other side, a whole pile of pulp. It juiced it really fast, faster than I expected for chunks that big.
The touchscreen has presets for soft fruits, vegetables, mixed, hard fruits, and you can even put ice cream in for sorbet. I went with mixed since I was tossing in a bit of everything. There’s also a timer feature, so you could load it up before heading out for errands and have it turn on by itself an hour later so fresh juice is waiting when you get home. I skipped the timer and just ran it live.
What I loved most was the yield. When I turned it off, the pulp coming out the side was nice and dry, because it had literally extracted all the possible juice you can get. And I ended up with quite a bit of juice, which was surprisingly really good. I’m not one to want all that pulp floating in my glass, so seeing it separated out into its own container and squeezed dry was a win.
The Touchscreen and Timer Tripped Me Up
It took me a minute to just start the thing. First I couldn’t even figure out how to open it, I pushed, pulled, turned, squeezed, and it turned out there was a big button right there that I just couldn’t see from my angle. No big deal once I spotted it.
Then when I went to start juicing, I accidentally turned on the timer instead. So I had to figure out how to turn the timer back off before it would just run. That little dance is exactly why I do these reviews, sometimes you have to take a minute to work it out. And the noise is real: it’s definitely a little bit louder than I’m used to. Not a deal-breaker, but if you juice early in the morning next to sleeping people, know that going in.

Who This Press Juicer Machine Is For
If a cutting board is the reason your old juicer is in a cabinet right now, this is the machine that gets it back on the counter. I dropped in uncut strawberries, full carrot sticks, and apple halves, nothing smaller, and the 6.5-inch chute swallowed all of it. The 100 oz hopper means one load handles juice for the whole family without standing over it piece by piece.
It also fits families and anyone making juice for more than one person, thanks to the 100 oz hopper. And because it separates the pulp into its own dry side container, it suits people like me who don’t want pulp in the glass. If you want to branch out, the modes for nut milk and sorbet give you more than just juice.
How It Compares to the Two-Cup Juicers I’m Used To
The output design is cleaner than any juicer I’ve used: juice drains through a dedicated spout at the bottom, no tilting a pitcher to catch a dribble, while dry pulp collects in a separate side container so it never touches your glass. It sounds like a small thing until you’ve mopped up a pulp-soaked counter at 7am.
The trade-off versus those simpler juicers is noise and size. My older two-cup machine was quieter and smaller on the counter. This one is bigger and louder, but it also took whole uncut fruit and left drier pulp, so you’re trading a bit of quiet and space for less prep and more juice.
Tips Before You Start Juicing
Find the open button first. It’s a big button on the side that’s easy to miss if you’re looking at it from the wrong angle, and hunting for it while holding a fistful of strawberries is not the move.
Learn the difference between start and timer before you load up, so you don’t accidentally set an hour delay when you just want juice now. Pop that drip tray on before you begin. And don’t stress about cutting your fruit perfectly, my chunks were pretty big and it handled them without complaint.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really not have to cut the fruit first?
Mostly no. The 6.5-inch chute is designed for whole fruit, and it handled my apple and strawberry chunks even though I left them pretty big. Very large produce like a whole pineapple may still want a rough halving, but everyday fruit goes in as-is.
How loud is it really?
Louder than a typical juicer in my test, though it’s rated under 45 dB by the brand. It ran noticeably louder when the big chunks first hit the auger and quieted down after. If early-morning silence matters, this is the thing to weigh.
Is it hard to clean?
The brand rates cleaning at about 180 seconds with a detachable filter you rinse under the tap. The parts are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe, and because the pulp comes out dry into its own container, there’s less mess to deal with.
Can it make more than juice?
Yes. The touchscreen has modes for soft fruits, vegetables, mixed, and hard fruits, plus a setting for frozen sorbet and nut milk. I stuck with the mixed juice setting for my test, but the extra modes are built in.
What does the timer feature actually do?
It lets you load the hopper and set a delayed start so the juicer turns on by itself later. You could set it before running errands and come home to fresh juice. Just make sure you’re hitting start and not the timer when you want it to run right away.
Does the pulp really come out dry?
Yes, mine came out nice and dry. That’s the sign it’s extracting close to all the juice you can get, which the brand puts at a 99.2% yield. If you don’t want pulp in your glass, the dry side container keeps it separate.
How big is the hopper for family use?
It’s a 100 oz self-feeding hopper, big enough to load a batch of whole fruit at once instead of feeding piece by piece. That makes it a fit for families or gatherings where you’re juicing for several people.
Is assembly complicated out of the box?
No. The whole bottom section arrived already assembled, so the only step for me was sliding in the top part. The one piece to remember is popping the drip tray on before you start.
