Kenwood JE290A Citrus Juicer with 40W Motor and Transparent Filter Jug

Our review

The Kenwood JE290A is a countertop citrus press built around a 40W motor and a two-way rotating reamer, so you can press a halved orange or lemon from either direction and let the stainless steel filter catch the pulp and pips. The transparent jug lets you see how much juice you have collected before pouring. It suits anyone who juices citrus regularly but does not want a large, complicated machine: the reamer, filter, dust cover and jug are all dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup after a batch of lemons or limes straightforward. Before buying, think about the citrus you actually use. This is a press for halved fruit, not a masticating or centrifugal juicer for carrots, greens or apples, so if you want one appliance for everything, a multi-purpose juicer is the better comparison. Also check the size of the jug against how much juice you typically need in one go, and whether the 40W motor matches the volume you plan to press. Compare it with other electric citrus presses on the reamer design, filter material and how many parts need washing by hand.
