Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Premium Juice Extractor 2 Speeds 67850 review

The Hamilton Beach 67850 is a two-speed centrifugal extractor with a 3-inch feed opening, a documented 40 fl oz lidded pitcher, a separate large pulp bin, and a listed 14.5 H × 14.5 W × 9 D-inch body. It suits a routine where the supplied pitcher and speed choice matter more than the name “Big Mouth” alone. The pitcher is a collection size, not a promised juice yield, and the manufacturer does not publish the pulp-bin volume.

Check the exact 67850 offer and manual

Hamilton Beach’s U.S. product page names the “Big Mouth Premium Juice Extractor 2 Speeds” and prints model 67850. The directly linked 840262703 Use & Care guide is 52 pages. Its final model panel lists 67850, Type CJ20, 120 V, 60 Hz and 850 W. The manual says letter suffixes may follow listed models, but this review covers the exact standard 67850 page and does not assume a particular finish or suffix package.

Two speeds help sort the produce routine

The manual identifies a stainless-steel micro-mesh strainer basket, a pusher-fed chute, and a separate pulp container, making this a centrifugal basket juicer rather than a screw-driven slow juicer or citrus-only press. Hamilton Beach lists a 3-inch opening. That can spare some cutting, but it is not a promise that every ingredient should go in whole: the manual says apples, carrots and cucumbers often fit without cutting; recommends peeling citrus, melons and mangoes for flavor; and requires pitting stone fruits and removing large seeds. Cut anything that does not pass comfortably, wash produce, and use the supplied pusher rather than your hand.

The manual’s chart assigns HIGH to firmer examples such as apples, carrots, beets and ginger, and LOW to soft fruit, tomatoes and leafy greens. Feed slowly; the maker links quick pusher movement to stalling, spraying, wet pulp or excess fiber collecting under the lid. The 850 W label is not a measured yield result.

Separate the pitcher, pulp bin and actual yield

The 67850 page identifies a 40 fl oz BPA-free pitcher with a lid and froth separator. That is a useful supplied receiver for collecting juice across a larger batch than the 16 fl oz cup documented for the Hamilton Beach 67870. It does not say that one load of produce will make 40 ounces of juice. The page calls the separate pulp container “extra large” but gives no volume, so a hard minimum pulp-bin capacity cannot be checked from the available documentation. The listed body is 14.5 inches high, 14.5 wide and 9 deep. The pulp container projects to the side, while the pitcher sits below the outlet; allow room beyond the body dimensions for those parts, the raised pusher, cord and safe disassembly.

A helpful detail is the removable drip-free outlet: lower it for juicing and raise it after the motor stops to reduce drips. The page lists an Easy Sweep cleaning tool. The manual says to empty the pulp bin and clean the strainer and lid after each pitcher-full for its stated optimal-yield routine. In practice, the basket’s fine mesh still makes prompt care part of the job rather than an optional extra.

Cleaning and limits to account for

The manual shows dishwasher-safe removable parts but specifically says not to use the SANI cycle and never to put the motor base in the dishwasher or immerse it. High household dishwasher temperatures or placing parts near a heating element may distort them. For the basket, Hamilton Beach recommends using the included Easy Sweep tool under running water and soaking it promptly if needed; pulp left to dry can clog the fine mesh. The center blades are sharp, and a cracked, bent or damaged basket should not be used. If overload protection stops the motor because it overheats, the manual says to unplug it and wait 15 minutes before resuming. That is a recovery instruction, not a published normal run-time limit.

Who should choose it—and who should compare

The 67850 is a good candidate if you want a current-listed, two-speed centrifugal setup, a known 40 fl oz covered pitcher, and a separate bin, and can fit its unusually wide listed body. It is less suitable if your counter is narrow, if you require a quantified pulp-bin size, a dedicated Quiet or variable-speed control, a SANI dishwasher cycle, or a documented continuous-session duration. The manual includes a recipe using pomegranate seeds; it does not establish wheatgrass use. If a slow auger is important, compare the Hamilton Beach 67951 instead. If the juice-and-blend function on one base matters, the separately reviewed 67970 offers that change of configuration with a smaller 20 fl oz jar. For a wider 3.5-inch opening and a specified 34 fl oz pitcher, the 67906 Super Chute is another current-listed choice, but its body is taller and much deeper. Those differences are more actionable than treating wattage or marketing claims as a performance score.

This is a documentation-based assessment, not a hands-on test. The cited 2001 Hamilton Beach recall notice lists six older model codes and does not identify 67850, but it is not a complete recall-history search for this exact machine. The page’s three-year limited warranty is consistent with the guide’s three-year U.S. original-purchase term; used offers, proof-of-purchase requirements and coverage should be checked against the exact seller’s terms.
