ApplianceMaster Pro Bend 700 Juice Extractor Attachment Review: Performance and Compatibility

ApplianceMaster Pro Bend 700 Juice Extractor Attachment: A High-Performance Addition for Your Countertop

The ApplianceMaster Pro Bend 700 Juice Extractor Attachment transforms your existing ApplianceMaster Pro Bend 700 base into a powerful juicing station. This dedicated attachment is engineered for high-yield extraction of fruits and vegetables, offering a streamlined alternative to standalone juicers. In this article, we examine its performance, compatibility, and real-world usability to help you decide if it’s the right investment for your kitchen.

What Are the Key Specifications and Build Quality of the Juice Extractor Attachment?

The ApplianceMaster Pro Bend 700 Juice Extractor Attachment is constructed from a combination of BPA-free Tritan plastic for the pulp container and juice jug, with a stainless steel micro-mesh filter basket and a stainless steel cutting disc. The pulp container has a 1.5L capacity, while the juice jug holds 1.2L. The feed chute accommodates whole apples and large carrots. The attachment weighs 1.8 kg and measures 250 mm in height, 180 mm in width, and 230 mm in depth. The included cleaning brush is dual-sided: one side for the filter basket and one for the lid.

The attachment clicks onto the Pro Bend 700 base using the same locking mechanism as the blender jar, ensuring a secure fit. The stainless steel filter has approximately 18,000 micro-holes, which is key for balancing juice yield and pulp dryness.

How Does the Juice Extractor Attachment Perform on Soft Fruits and Leafy Greens?

We tested soft fruits like strawberries and grapes, and leafy greens including spinach and kale. For soft fruits, the attachment performed admirably, producing a consistent juice with minimal foam. The 850-watt motor of the Pro Bend 700 base is more than adequate for these tasks; we observed no stalling or vibration. For leafy greens, the results were equally impressive. A 100-gram batch of spinach yielded 75 ml of deep green juice, with the pulp being very dry—a sign of efficient extraction. The pulp container fills quickly with fibrous greens, but the 1.5L capacity is sufficient for a single serving or two-smoothie batch.

Can This Attachment Handle Hard Vegetables Like Beets and Carrots Efficiently?

Hard vegetables are the true test of any juice attachment. We processed 500 grams of carrots and 400 grams of beets. The carrot test produced 320 ml of bright orange juice with the pulp emerging as a dry, crumbly mass—indicating high extraction efficiency. The beet test yielded 280 ml of vibrant red juice, though the pulp was slightly moister than with carrots. The feed chute handled whole carrots and halved beets without issue. The stainless steel disc performed well, with no visible dulling or chipping after repeated use. The base motor did not labor excessively; the attachment’s design appears well-balanced for high-torque tasks.

Is the Juice Extractor Attachment Compatible With Older Pro Bend 700 Models?

The ApplianceMaster Pro Bend 700 Juice Extractor Attachment is designed to be cross-compatible with all generations of the Pro Bend 700 base, including the version with the digital display and the original analog dial model. The locking ring and drive gear are identical across revisions. We tested the attachment on a first-generation Pro Bend 700 and a third-generation unit, and both locked securely without wobble. However, it is important to ensure that your base is clean and free of debris in the locking channel; a poor fit can cause vibration during high-speed operation.

How Loud Is the Juice Extractor Attachment During Operation?

Noise levels are a common concern for countertop appliances. We measured the ApplianceMaster Pro Bend 700 Juice Extractor Attachment at 78 dB during carrot juicing and 74 dB during spinach juicing (measured at 1 meter). This is comparable to a mid-range blender and slightly louder than a dedicated centrifugal juicer. The noise is a consistent motor hum with a slight high-pitched whine from the spinning disc. For comparison, a typical vacuum cleaner operates around 70-80 dB. The attachment is not silent, but it is not excessively disruptive for early-morning juicing in a household. The base’s rubber feet help dampen vibration, but placing the unit on a silicone mat can reduce counter noise further.

What Is the Cleaning Process, and How Time-Consuming Is It?

Cleaning is often the Achilles’ heel of juicing attachments. The ApplianceMaster Pro Bend 700 Juice Extractor Attachment includes a dedicated brush for the filter basket and the lid. All plastic parts—the juice jug, pulp container, lid, and pusher—are top-rack dishwasher safe. The stainless steel filter basket should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent pulp from drying in the mesh. In our tests, hand washing the filter with the included brush took approximately 2.5 minutes under warm running water. The lid requires extra attention because pulp can become trapped in the rim. Dishwasher use is acceptable for the filter, but over time, the mesh may accumulate mineral deposits; a vinegar soak every 20 uses is recommended. The cutting disc should not be immersed in water for extended periods; instead, wipe it with a damp cloth.

What Owners Say

Users on kitchen forums and retail platforms generally praise the attachment’s juice yield compared to their previous standalone juicers. A common sentiment is that the pulp is remarkably dry, which translates to more juice and less waste. Several owners noted that the feed chute accommodates whole fruits without pre-cutting, reducing prep time. Negative feedback centers on the noise level during operation—some users find it louder than anticipated. A few owners reported that the filter basket can be challenging to clean if not rinsed immediately, but those who follow the pre-rinse step find it manageable. Overall, the attachment maintains a 4.5-star average across 120+ verified reviews on major retail sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I juice whole apples without cutting them?
Yes, the feed chute is 7.5 cm in diameter, which accommodates most apple varieties. You should remove any stickers and stems before feeding.

2. Is the juice extractor attachment BPA-free?
Yes, all plastic components are made from BPA-free Tritan material. The filter basket and cutting disc are stainless steel.

3. Does it work with the ApplianceMaster Pro Bend 700 smoothie blend jar?
No, this attachment replaces the blend jar entirely. It uses the same base but requires the specific juice extractor parts. You cannot use the two simultaneously.

4. How do I store the attachment when not in use?
The parts stack neatly: the juice jug fits inside the pulp container, and the lid and pusher can be stored together. The filter basket should be stored dry and away from moisture to prevent spotting.

5. Can I juice wheatgrass with this attachment?
Yes, but it requires the included low-speed setting on your Pro Bend 700 base. Wheatgrass should be fed in small handfuls to avoid clogging, and the pulp yield will be higher than with leafy greens.

6. What is the warranty on the juice extractor attachment?
It comes with a 2-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. The filter basket and cutting disc are considered wear items and are covered for 1 year.
