Hamilton Beach slow juicer comparison
Hamilton Beach 67951 slow juicer vs Ninja JC151 and Hamilton Beach 67870
The Hamilton Beach 67951 is a slow auger juicer, not a slower setting on a centrifugal machine. Compare the exact setup with Ninja's JC151 and Hamilton Beach's 67870 by the feed path, the cup you receive, and how you clean the screen. Those differences change the daily routine more than a wattage comparison can.
Three exact configurations, three different routines
| Exact model | Extraction and controls | Included juice vessel | Preparation and limit | Care distinction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hamilton Beach 67951 | Slow auger and micro-mesh strainer; ON/OFF plus a separate Reverse clearing button. | 24 oz cup with froth separator. | Manual says most produce needs cutting; automatic stop after 30 minutes continuous or on overload. Manual has a pomegranate-seed recipe. | Brush the screen; manufacturer forbids SANI and excludes the base. |
| Ninja NeverClog JC151 | Low-speed auger with two named interchangeable pulp filters; Start/Stop and Reverse functions. | Capacity is unresolved: page feature text and box list conflict. | JC150 Series manual gives a 12-minute continuous-use limit and instructs gradual feeding. | Two pulp filters change the maker-labeled choice; manual gives its own top-rack and heated-dry restrictions. |
| Hamilton Beach 67870 | Centrifugal mesh basket; two speeds; published three-inch chute. | 16 oz juice cup; its 80 oz figure is a separate pulp bin. | Manual recommends hard/soft produce speed choices; basket care is immediate and hands-on. | Easy Sweep tool and dishwasher-safe parts do not allow a SANI cycle or dishwasher/base immersion. |
Choose a mechanism before comparing cups
The 67951's auger-and-screen arrangement calls for a measured, slow-push feed. The maker's manual says most produce must be cut, and some fruit should be peeled. Its single micro-mesh strainer is not a pair of interchangeable pulp filters. If you specifically want Ninja's Less Pulp and Lots of Pulp choices, the JC151 documents those two filters, though its jug capacity remains uncertain and it has a shorter continuous-use interval. The 67870 is the faster-feed centrifugal alternative in this comparison: its wide chute and two-speed control are real features, but they do not establish a measured yield advantage.
Keep cup size separate from yield and pulp storage
The 67951's 24-ounce cup is a confirmed receiver-volume fact, not a promise that one load of produce will fill it. A shopper who wants at least 32 ounces in the supplied vessel should not treat it as a match. The same reasoning applies to the 67870: its 16-ounce cup collects juice, while the 80-ounce number describes pulp storage. A claimed yield, cup capacity and pulp-bin capacity answer different questions. For the Ninja, the exact product-page capacity conflict means a strict receiver minimum is not confirmed.
Measure the actual countertop and cleaning path
Hamilton Beach lists the 67951 body as 13.46 inches high by 12.6 inches wide by 7.44 inches deep. That wide body may be a better depth fit than a deeper centrifugal unit, but it still needs side clearance for the pulp collector and space below the outlet for the cup. Measure working clearance separately from the listed body. The instructions also call for food prep and prompt screen brushing. A dishwasher-safe claim can save some hand washing, but does not remove the mesh-care task or override a forbidden SANI setting.
Make the need that matters decide
Choose 67951 when a 24-ounce receiver, auger extraction, pomegranate documentation and a 30-minute maximum continuous-use window fit your routine. Choose JC151 when its two named pulp filters matter more than a confirmed jug capacity. Choose 67870 when a centrifugal mechanism, two speeds and a three-inch opening fit your feeding preference, and 16 ounces is sufficient for the cup. The 150-watt and 800-watt motor ratings are not comparable yield tests. Read the linked model-specific reviews and manuals before buying; no attachment, cup or cleanup instruction transfers just because two models share a brand.
