L'Equip 221 Juice/Pulp Extractor
From L'Equip
Capable of continuous operation, this L'Equip 221 extracts juice from fruits and vegetables and then ejects pulp either into its pulp basket, or, for juice-bar quantities, into a garbage bag that can be secured to the extractor with a special holder. The extractor's 480-watt motor is computer controlled for precise operation, and the appliance stands on big rubber feet to reduce vibration and protect the counter's surface. Easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning, the extractor comes with a bowl, basket, and blade that are made of stainless steel and are dishwasher-safe. Its plastic exterior, pulp basket, plunger, and cover wipe clean with a soapy cloth. The extractor measurers 12-1/2 inches high, 9 inches wide, and 13 inches deep, including spout and cover. It carries a 12-warranty against defects.

Soooo disappointed!!!!!
I wish I had listened to E.Buhkman of Ohio's review, instead I went with the others. I have owned at least four other brands of juicers, for the money this is probably the worst. It produces very little juice and it stopped the second time I used it, while only juicing carrots and cabbage. I was really looking forward to the extra large chute(BAA HUM BUG!!!) it is only slightly larger than the Juiceman juicer. I had to clean it after two carrots to get it to start again. When I pushed the on button it hummed and gradually started again, only to give little juice,I found the rest of the juice when I squeezed the pulp. It was medium as far as sound. The basket takes a little extra to remove. I gave it two stars because it looks cute. If you still want to purchase one of these, I'll gladly sell mine.
Professional Endurance Juicer and Pulp Extractor
The main selling point of this juicer was the pulp extractor and the option to attach a catch bag for the pulp. This made for extended use without having to stop and change a filter or empty the main compartment. The very first day I had this I juiced 25 lbs of beets, 25 lbs of golden beets, 8 lbs of parsley, 6 lbs of cilantro and 11 lbs of red peppers. I did not have one problem and the whole list only took about an hour from start to finish. That is professional endurance that I am looking for. This efficient machine is now a permanent fixture in my kitchen. As the Chef des Cuisine for The Dining Room at the Inn on Biltmore Estate, I would highly recommend this brand and model to other professional chefs and serious home juicers.
With a hand-shake in mind,

Nice, solid and quiet
I've been using mine daily for 5 months and have been very pleased. It is fast and quiet with hard veggies like carrots and broccoli. I find it easier to juice parseley with a carrot, because shoving parseley into the feeder and trying to push the mass into the blade tends to jam the unit. That is why I deduct a star, though I don't know a general purpose unit that juices parsley without jamming.
I use the plastic bag pulp holder, to have the pulp ejected directly into a bag, so I can take it to the compost bin without having to wash the pulp container. That wasn't mentioned in the editorial review, so it was a nice surprise when I figured out what it was.
This unit is heavy and well-engineered, as one would expect with a 12 year warranty. It is quiet enough for me to make juice at night, without fear of waking my daughter.
