Hamilton Beach HealthSmart Juice Extractor 67801 review

The Hamilton Beach HealthSmart Juice Extractor 67801 is an earlier centrifugal model whose exact U.S. product page marks it “No Longer Available.” Its page lists a 400 W motor, 11.89-inch height, 7.09-inch width, 9.45-inch depth, and a three-year limited warranty. The linked 840095508 manual identifies model 67801 as type CJ09 at 120 V and 60 Hz. Those details can help identify or compare a used machine; they should not be mistaken for a current offer or a tested performance claim.

What the 400 W figure means—and does not

The 67801’s product page describes a stainless-steel cutter/strainer and a 400-watt motor. The manual’s parts diagram and instructions show an on/off switch, feed chute and pusher, separator, pulp bin, and safety latches. There is no manufacturer-documented speed dial or quieter setting. The rating is not a measurement of juice yield, time per glass, sound, or how it handles a specific ingredient. If those are your deciding factors, the available sources do not provide a direct test.

The neighboring 67800 is a separate exact model, not just a finish label: its own page and manual list 350 W, while the 67801 is 400 W. The two are both type CJ09, and the 67800’s current page does not publish dimensions. The documentation does not quantify a 50 W difference as a practical extraction advantage. Check the printed model code and the condition of the strainer on a used machine instead of treating the larger number as a guarantee.

Use the dimensions, but leave room around them

Hamilton Beach lists the 67801 body at 11.89 H × 7.09 W × 9.45 D inches. This is a better basis for a shelf check than judging the scale of the product photo, but the chute and pusher project above the body, and the manual shows a separate pulp bin beside the base. Allow workspace to put a glass beneath the juice spout, lock and release the cover, and lift the strainer assembly for cleaning. The maker does not state a feed-chute diameter, so this model cannot pass a question requiring a documented minimum opening. Do not read a “whole fruit” promise into the title or image.

The instruction booklet recommends dropping food pieces into the chute one at a time and pressing gently and slowly. It advises removing pits and large seeds, peeling thick rinds when appropriate, and rolling leafy vegetables before feeding. If the machine struggles or slows, the manual says to turn it off, unplug it, clean the cutter/strainer and separator, then reassemble. For large quantities such as ten pounds or more, it says to process in small batches and let the motor cool completely between uses; it does not provide a routine continuous-run time. These are operating instructions, not a performance promise.

The receiver and cleanup decide more than the wattage

The manual tells you to place a container beneath the juice spout and lists a pulp bin, but neither the exact page nor the guide confirms a supplied juice pitcher or a receiver capacity. A pictured glass is a staging item unless the package list says otherwise. The bin’s capacity is also not published. If you need to collect a 16-ounce batch in an included vessel, leave that need unanswered for this model rather than filling in a number from the image.

There is a useful split in the cleaning instructions. The product page says removable plastic parts are dishwasher-safe, and the 840095508 guide names the pusher, cover, separator, pulp bin, and a juice container as dishwasher-safe parts. But the guide explicitly excludes the cutter/strainer from the dishwasher and says to wash it by hand; it also warns that its teeth are sharp. The motor base must be kept out of water. So the 67801 may suit someone who wants to put some removable parts in a dishwasher, but not someone whose essential condition is that every juicing part, especially the filter, can go in one.

Questionnaire fit and alternatives

Choose centrifugal for this powered cutter-and-strainer plan, and choose the separately documented stainless-steel strainer option if that component matters. A requirement for hand-powered pressing excludes it. The exact sources do not confirm wheatgrass use or a frozen-fruit/sorbet setup, so neither answer can qualify it. The page does not state an included pitcher volume, and its chute width is unlisted; minimum jug and chute questions should therefore screen it out when those are essential. The dishwasher question is also a no if you require every removable juicing component to be dishwasher-safe.

For a shopper comparing older models, 67801 has a better documented physical envelope than 67800, but the latter is the only one of the two whose page lacks dimensions. Neither should be chosen solely because one has a higher motor rating. If a different machine is being considered, the Hamilton Beach 67870 listing documents a 3-inch chute and an included 16-ounce juice cup; those are specific claims for that separate model, not features to transfer. The 67801 is most useful as a precise identification for an existing or secondhand unit whose parts and manual can be checked. This is a document-based review, not a hands-on test; no claims about extraction yield, noise, speed, or ownership are made.

See the exact Hamilton Beach 67801 page and its linked Use & Care guide. The maker’s distinct 67800 page and its 840310402 guide document a 350 W configuration. Verify the code on the model label and inspect the cutter/strainer before considering a used machine; the pages do not promise current stock.
