Dash Slow Juicer Review- Dash DCSJ255 Deluxe Compact Juicer

Dash cold press power juicer

Dash slow juicer DCSJ255 is a super compact size, portable, and cheap cold press juicer.

Being a compact size juice maker saves much of the kitchen’s counter space and prevents the countertop from being disorganized.

Besides, anyone can carry it in his bag or luggage while traveling and make delicious fruits and vegetables.

It uses a slow masticating technology to take out the highest amount of quality juice yield.

To operate the powerful motor and auger at a slow speed of 80 rpm (revolutions per minute), it uses 130-watt rated power which is remarkably lower than a typical slow cold press juicer.

This slower cold press juicing operation reduces much oxidation, heat buildup, and friction and helps retain all nutrients like vitamins, digestive enzymes, minerals, and antioxidants alive.

Also, being slower in speed, it performs relatively quiet juicing operations and maintains a healthy and peaceful environment.

Keeping a compact footprint, the dash cold press power juicer comes with a 1.4-inch smaller feed chute. But, this smaller size feed tube increases the prepping time before making juice.

You can put small juicing ingredients into the feeding hopper without any issues. But to produce quality juice from larger fruits and veggies, you have to cut them into smaller pieces.

Luckily, it comes with a sorbet attachment that enables you to make sorbet and frozen cocktails effortlessly.

Unfortunately, this slow compact juicer offers a 2-year limited warranty policy with proper registration.

In-depth dash slow juicer review

Design and construction materials

You will rarely find a compact-size cold press juicer that dash offers. With dimensions of14.57 x 10.91 x 5.98 inches, this slim-designed juice machine saves kitchen space and gives an easy portable facility.

A slow extraction powerful motor design with 80 rpm speed ensures the quality of juice yield, leaving the dry pulp and less food waste. It uses BPA-free Tritan plastics and metal to build its various parts. But, the weight is about 4.64 pounds that are relatively lower than any other cold press juicer.

It comes in three different colors to meet personal color preferences, namely Aqua, black, and graphite. The only drawback in design is its smaller feed chute. It designs its feed chute in 1.4″ diameter. Unluckily, this smaller feeding chute design bumps up your prep time before juicing.

Performance

We figured out that Dash compact juicer gives a decent amount of juice yield. It’s about 450-470 ml at a time and enough for two persons.

Unluckily, it releases less dry pulp and more food waste than any other cold press juicer. It could be because of its small-sized auger, which runs at 80 rpm (revolutions per minute) using 130 watts of power.

If it were a bulky juicer, the auger would be more powerful enough to extract a high volume of juice produce. So we can say the extraction performance of this juicer is mediocre. However, having a 1.4″ feed chute, you need some food preparation time before juicing.

But, for longer ingredients like carrots, you don’t need prepping. Luckily, a BPA-free plastic food pusher will help you send the juicing components into the chamber quickly.

Juice quality

Dash cold press juicer operates the auger at a sluggish speed of 80 rpm. As a result, it creates less oxidation, heat buildup, and friction, which helps you get quality juice with minimal effort.

Besides being slower in speed, it does not spoil vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, and other nutrients. And these health nourishing elements aid in retaining maximum juice quality. Luckily, you can preserve the juice for up to 72 hours (3 days) with full quality.

Is it easy to use?

Being compact and small-sized, the dash cold press has fewer detachable parts that are pretty easier to assemble, disassemble, and use.

You need a few minutes to do the whole assembly work. It has a small feeding chute that increases some precutting time for the larger ingredients. But, for smaller and lengthier juicing components, you need no prep work.

A delivered food pusher enables you to push the ingredients through the feeder hopper to juicing chamber quickly.

The reverse function help unclog the juicer if the juicer gets stuck halfway through juicing. It enables you to carry on smooth juicing operations.

An anti-drip end cap helps you save your countertop from dripping and make mixed juice with ease.

Is it easy to clean?

Dash slow juicer has some removable parts. Therefore, the cleanup process is relatively easy and smooth by hand. Moreover, being a dishwasher-safe juicer extractor, the cleaning process is even much more effortless.

Use warm water and soap or dishwashing powder to clean the parts effectively. To wash unreachable parts by hand, you can use a delivered cleaning tool.

Try to wash every inch of the juicer’s strainers after finishing juicing; otherwise, the dry pulp may jam the filters. Rub out the motor base with a dry cloth instead of rinsing it in the running water.
