Introduction
If you’re looking for a powerful, but simplistic juicer that gets the job done efficiently and reliably, then Hamilton Beach 932 is the one for you.
It is a manually-operated juicer that is surprisingly very efficient, thanks to a heavy-duty lever and gear system that squeezes out every drop of juice from your favorite fruits and vegetables. It also supports simple and fast cleaning.

Performance: Heavy-Duty Extraction System
Producing 2000 pounds of pressure with its extractor arm, the Hamilton Beach 932 implements a high-performance rack and pinion gear system to maximize juice extraction and make the manual process efficient.
Because of this powerful extraction system, the juicer minimizes production of fruit skin oils and pulp residue, making it great for citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits.
The strainer cone that handles all the ingredients being pressed is a heavy-duty one, made of stainless steel to strengthen it and maximize its ability to withstand the high lever pressure exerted during juice extraction.
Beneath the strainer is another heavy-duty component, an ABS filter, which ensures that the juice you collect is free of any residue or froth.
Design: Simplistic, Compact and User-Friendly
Perhaps because of being a manual juicer, the Hamilton Beach 932’s design is simplistic if not minimalistic.
A simple glance at the juicer gives you a hit of how the unit is operated. One of the juicer’s most prominent components is its extractor arm, which helps to exert the high pressure needed to squeeze the juice out of fruits.
The arm’s end has a comfortable and secure plastic grip that ensures a firm grasp when operating the juicer. So, working with it should not strain your hand at all.
When it comes to juice collection, the juicer offers a convenient 14-ounce collector cup, which swings outwards, allowing you to obtain the extracted juices easily.
Since this is a manual juicer, operational stability is a top priority for all users. That’s why Hamilton Beach equipped this model with Secure Grip feet to enhance the unit’s firmness and prevent tripping.
You’ll be pleased to know that the entire unit is very compact and with a manageable 9.39-pound weight. It barely invades your precious counter space. Note, however, that it extends a bit vertically and will need significant vertical clearance for smooth uninterrupted operation.
Ease of Cleaning: Fast and Effortless
Even though your juicer is a manual one, this is actually an advantage when it comes to cleaning because it has fewer components, especially compared to electric ones.
The stainless steel cone and plastic funnel are very easy to remove, and ones you have those disassembled, you can simply run warm water through them and where pulp removal may be problematic, a gentle brush should get it out of the way.
Also, the onboard juice cup is removable for simplified cleaning as well. Remember to regularly clean the main housing as well. Because the materials are built to resist acids from fruits, you can be assured that regular cleaning with water is safe for all components.
Price: Premium Cost for Premium Value
This juicer’s price is certainly not in the budget category, and that’s because this model brings commercial-grade performance to all consumers. It is a premium unit that guarantees a lifetime of reliable service from its heavy-duty extraction system.
The juicer’s arm generates a lot of pressure for efficient juice extraction, and actually gives you, the operator, a lot of control over the juicing process. It is this dependable and consistent performance that justifies the premium price.
Also, because this is a manual juicer, it has very low chances of failure, an issue that affects electrical motor-driven juicers. So, maintenance costs are virtually non-existent here.
Verdict
A heavy-duty commercial-grade manual juicer that is both durable and reliable for a lifetime of efficient juice extraction.
The Hamilton Beach 932 is one of those appliances you buy and never replace. Its high-strength juice extraction system ensures the juicer delivers consistent results for a lifetime, and the durable metallic build guarantees durability.
