Hamilton Beach model comparison
Hamilton Beach 67850 vs 67870 vs 67906: pitcher, chute and counter fit
The Hamilton Beach 67850, 67870 and 67906 are all two-speed centrifugal extractors, but their receiver size and counter footprint differ enough to change the daily routine. Compare the exact model code, not only “Big Mouth,” “Easy Clean,” or “Super Chute.”
Three different combinations
| Exact model | Opening and control | Documented receiver | Listed H × W × D |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Big Mouth 67850 | 3 in; two speeds; 850 W | 40 fl oz pitcher with lid and froth separator | 14.5 × 14.5 × 9 in |
| Easy Clean 67870 | 3 in; two speeds; 800 W | 16 fl oz cup | 14.5 × 12.2 × 8.2 in |
| Professional Super Chute 67906 | 3.5 in; two speeds; 1100 W | 34 fl oz pitcher with lid and froth separator | 17.2 × 9.5 × 16.7 in |
These are manufacturer-listed body measurements and receiver capacities, not measured kitchen clearances or expected juice quantities. A pitcher or cup describes what collects juice; it does not predict how much a particular bag of produce will yield. A wider opening can reduce some cutting, but each manual still governs preparation, peeling, pitting and safe pusher use.
Choose by the task the receiver needs to do
The 67850 is the clearest fit when a supplied 40 fl oz lidded pitcher matters and a 14.5-inch body width fits. Its external pulp container and wide body need more counter space than its 9-inch depth alone suggests. The 67870 is listed with a smaller 16 fl oz receiver but a narrower, shallower body. Choose it when a small cup is enough and the exact body dimensions are more useful than a larger pitcher; do not count its pulp-bin capacity as liquid volume. The 67906 adds the widest opening and lists a 34 fl oz pitcher, but its 16.7-inch body depth and 17.2-inch height need a generous counter and overhead allowance.
Do not score the motors by their watt labels
The listed 850, 800 and 1100 W values are electrical ratings, not comparative extraction tests. The manuals provide a produce-specific high/low routine; they do not establish measured yield, noise, or a winner for every recipe. If you want a screw-and-screen method rather than a fast centrifugal basket, the Hamilton Beach 67951 slow juicer is a different setup and should not be treated as a quieter version of one of these machines.
Fit the full cleanup routine
All three use a fine strainer basket that can collect fiber. Their exact pages and manuals differ, so follow the correct guide rather than transferring a package detail from one model. For the 67850 specifically, the Type CJ20 guide describes prompt mesh brushing, an included Easy Sweep tool, dishwasher-safe removable parts with a SANI-cycle prohibition, and a motor base that must stay out of the dishwasher and water. It also says to empty the bin and clean the basket and lid after each pitcher-full. These instructions matter more to a realistic cleanup plan than an “easy” label.
