Hamilton Beach HealthSmart Juice Extractor 67800 review

Hamilton Beach’s HealthSmart Juice Extractor 67800 is an earlier, mains-powered centrifugal model documented at 350 W. The maker’s exact U.S. page says “No Longer Available,” and its linked Use & Care guide identifies type CJ09 at 120 V and 60 Hz. That makes this a useful reference for checking an existing machine or a used listing—not a current-stock recommendation. The available sources do not give this exact code a feed-chute width, body dimensions, juice-vessel size, or measured extraction results, so those gaps should stay part of the decision.

Read the 350 W rating narrowly

The rating panel of the 840310402 guide lists model 67800 as a 350 W type CJ09 appliance. The product page also calls its motor 350 watts and describes a stainless-steel cutter/strainer. The manual diagram shows an on/off control, not a speed selector. Those facts describe the electrical label and the operating interface; they do not establish how quickly the machine extracts a particular fruit, its juice yield, noise, or its durability. A higher watt number on another model is not a test result.

This distinction matters when comparing 67800 with the separate 67801 code. The 67801 is listed at 400 W, but both manuals use the CJ09 type designation. Nothing in the available manufacturer data quantifies a performance difference between them. If choosing among used listings, first verify the code on the rating label and the state of the cutter/strainer rather than paying extra based on an assumed output advantage.

Expect a feed-chute routine, not a whole-produce promise

The manual lays out a straightforward centrifugal assembly: seat the cutter/strainer and separator, secure both safety latches, fit the pulp bin, and put a drinking glass or other container under the juice spout. It says not to operate the machine until both latches are locked. Feed produce into the chute with the supplied pusher; the booklet’s juicing tips advise washing produce, removing pits and large seeds, peeling some thick rinds, and rolling leafy greens into compact bundles. These instructions are more useful than the staged product image when planning prep.

Hamilton Beach does not publish a diameter for the 67800 opening in the exact page or linked manual. Do not infer that a whole apple, beet, or carrot fits because the image shows food above the chute. If chute size is a deciding constraint, the 67800 cannot satisfy a numeric minimum on the available evidence. By contrast, the 67500J listing states a 2.4-inch opening; the 67870 listing identifies a 3-inch chute. Those are still separate configurations, not dimensions to transfer to this older model.

Plan for a glass and a hand-cleaned strainer

The 67800 guide tells the user to position a container beneath the spout. Neither the exact page nor its linked guide identifies an included pitcher or states a juice-receiver capacity. The manual shows a pulp bin, but the manufacturer does not publish its volume. A requirement for a 16-ounce-or-larger included jug therefore cannot be confirmed for this code. A glass placed under the spout in an official image is not proof that the glass comes in the box.

Cleaning has a sharper caveat than the page’s broad note about dishwasher-safe removable plastic parts might suggest. The 840310402 instructions explicitly say not to put the cutter/strainer in the dishwasher and warn that its teeth are sharp. Remove pulp promptly, wash the strainer by hand, and wipe the motor base rather than immersing it. The 2019 840095508 guide names 67800 and 67801 and says other listed parts may be washed in a dishwasher, but it repeats the strainer exception. If your essential rule is that every removable juicing part must be dishwasher-safe, this model does not meet it.

Which answers change the fit?

For the ordinary process question, the documented plan is centrifugal, not a slow auger, citrus cone, or hand press. The product page names a stainless-steel cutter/strainer, which supports the corresponding filter-component choice. The unit is powered from household mains and uses a pusher, so a hand-powered requirement rules it out. The model’s page and manual do not document wheatgrass use, a sorbet setup, or a measurable receiver capacity; those needs must not be treated as satisfied by silence. The published chute size and body dimensions are also unknown, so counter-space and minimum-opening filters cannot safely treat the product image as a specification.

The 67800 is best considered by someone who already owns this exact model or is assessing a used unit, can work with a simple on/off feed-chute machine, has a separate glass ready, and accepts hand-cleaning the sharp strainer. It is a poor fit for someone shopping for an available new machine, needing an included batch jug, requiring fully dishwasher-safe juicing parts, or needing verified space dimensions. Compare it with the separately reviewed 67801 only after checking the exact code; for a currently documented alternative with explicit chute and receiver details, see the Hamilton Beach 67870 review. This is a source-based assessment, not a hands-on test: no yield, noise, speed, or longevity measurements are claimed.

Read the exact Hamilton Beach 67800 product page and its linked 840310402 Use & Care guide. The separate 67801 product page and 840095508 guide document that code’s different rating and listed dimensions. Check the model plate and condition of any secondhand unit; neither archived page promises present availability.
