A nice addition to any healthy kitchen, this fruits-and-vegetables electric juicer produces fresh juice with a simple turn of a knob. Just place a glass or pitcher under the spout, insert fruit or vegetables into the large feed chute (cutting over-sized items into smaller pieces if necessary), and gently and slowly press down using the included pusher. The machine accommodates anything from pineapple, melon, apples, oranges, and grapes to tomatoes, celery stalks, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and more. Fresh produce contains the most juice, and only thick peels need to be removed--thin peels or skins can be left on. The unit comes equipped with a powerful 700-watt motor and two speed settings for simple one-handed operation that extracts pulp-free juice in minutes. Other highlights include a stainless-steel permanent-mesh filter and filter basket, a safety interlock switch, attractive chrome-plated housing, a high-impact see-through lid, a removable pulp container for easy cleaning, and non-skid rubber feet to ensure sturdy placement on a table or countertop. Dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a snap, and a 3/4-quart juice jug and a filter-cleaning brush come included. The electric juicer measures approximately 14-1/2 by 10 by 18 inches.
Great upgrade Back in the day I had the old Juiceman Jr., which did it's job. Well it gave out a few years ago and cleaning it was a pain. I did miss fresh juice though so I bought this a couple of weeks ago. I tell you what they have done a wonderful job, this is a very nice upgrade from the old design. A lot of refinements throughout the entire appliance. Stronger motor, two speeds, better looking and much easier to clean. I defiantly recommend this and great price. Powerful and loud I bought this juicer last night at Walmart (it cost more there!). Once I read the assembly instructions and rinsed all the pieces in warm, soapy water, I put it together and tried it out. Wow! It's powerful! It went through those apples and carrots like nothing else. I like the cup that goes under the spout; it's not too small and doesn't splatter juice everywhere. I don't use the separator, though, because I like my juice frothy -- especially the orange juice. Anyway, I only juiced three carrots, three apples and three oranges last night, but the machine had no problem and never hinted at getting clogged. When I went to clean it I took the pieces off one at a time and rinsed them under hot water. The small amount of pulp came off very easily. The pulp was a little juicier than what came out of my old Jack LaLanne juicer, but I didn't mind because it made it easier to rinse off. The only part that was difficult to clean was the mesh filter, but the included brush helped a lot; and I don't see how you could make one of those easy to clean anyway. I had placed a plastic bag in the pulp bin, so I didn't even have to clean that. When I woke up this morning I put the machine back together -- after letting it air dry in my sink strainer -- and juiced some more of the same. It was much easier to assemble and disassemble this time because I knew what I was doing. All in all it took only about 10-15 minutes to juice three glasses -- one apple, one orange, one carrot -- and clean everything. I love this juicer! It's not too big and will not stain because it's stainless steel, which is great. My only complaint is that it is quite loud (scares the dog), but since I live alone it's not like I'm going to wake anyone up. I will keep experimenting with new fruits and vegetables, and if I ever have any problems I'll be sure to report them here. Otherwise, I am very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend this juicer. I'm addicted to juicing! I love this juicer. My mom got a juicer a few months ago and it worked well but I read reviews on the Juiceman JM400 and it seemed like a good one. I've been juicing almost everyday since I received it. I can put as many fruits/veggies in one juice as I want. I just check the filter to make sure it doesn't need to be cleaned. Easy clean up overall. Once you know how all the pieces fit together it's easy to detach, clean and reassemble. I feel so good about all the good juice I'm drinking but even more, my kids love it and it's so good for them. My 7 year old son is not a big fruit and veggie eater but I can give him a juice that has five or six different fruits and he loves it. The Juiceman JM400 has easy clean up, a powerful motor and I love the stainless steel because I read reviews on some of the white juicers and they stained easily. My juicer still looks brand new and no stains. Great product!

Time to Juice! Last year (2008) our little planting of grapes finally started producing. We borrowed a steam juicer and were able to can about 42 quarts of grape juice (along with eating a bunch and selling some). The juicer was so nice that we decided to purchase our own. This Norpro Juicer Steamer has many of the features we were looking for. Stainless steel. Good capacity. We also liked this unit because of the glass lid which allows you to know how the process is going without opening it up (one thing we didn't like with the steamer we borrowed last year). I also noticed that the handles are designed to remain cooler than the other unit - another good feature of this steamer.

Extreemely easy to clean. awesome juicer Love this juicer. Its easy to use, simple to clean. Small enough to leave on the counter. Sometimes the inner skin on the grapefruit gets caught up. Just move it around alittle and it will free itself. I use big & small grapefruits, oranges & lemons. Cleans in couple minutes & ready to go again. LOVE IT. Ordering another one I just purchased one of these and I'm quite happy with it. It's powerful, easy to use and easy to clean.

Easy to use I bought this becaue my plastic juicer finally broke. This juicer is so easy to use & clean I wish I purchased it sooner. It looks great & I use it all the time. Great item-super quality. Works fine It works as the title indicates....brilliant. The only down fall is that it's not dishwasher safe and us lazy people hate to wash dishes. Quality and Great Looks This juicer turned out to have a much nicer finish than I expected. This is an excellently crafted and durable tool that will last many years. One word of caution, this item is not intended for cleaning in a dishwasher, hand wash is recommended... Not a problem at all for me, but it might be a concern for some.

Hurom HU-100 Slow Juicer, Snow White

2009-12-27T22:04:00.001-08:00

Hurom HU-100 Slow Juicer, Snow White
From Hurom

A revolutionary new design in Juice extractors that will turn other juicers on the market upright! The Hurom Slow juicer takes the single auger design made popular first by Samson, Solo Star and Omega Juicers, and takes the concept one step further. The hurom slow juicer will juice fruits, vegetables and even wheatgrass, slowly and efficiently. More efficiently than other single auger style juicers. Dual Stage Juicing - juice is extracted through the first crushing stage and before the pulp is ejected, it is then squeezed during the second pressing stage; resulting in more juice, and extremely dry pulp. Higher yields - in-house testing found the Hurom Slow Juicer yielded 50% more juice than a centrifuge juicer in 50% of the time. Economical - Get the greatest amount of juice from the least amount of fruits. Peels and skins can be also used in various pastries, jams, soups, etc. Better Juice, Healthier Juice - Enjoy more antioxidants, better flavor and superior freshness of your juice. No frothing or foaming, and none of the separation that occurs with other juicers. Self Cleaning - Simply pour water through to self clean the juicer when changing to another fruit, vegetable or leafy green. Save time! Small Footprint - all of the performance of a masticating single auger juicer, but with less space requirements than most centrifuge-style juicers. Vegetable Juice - The Hurom juicer excels at making juice out of your favorite leafy greens and wheatgrass. Silence - The Hurom juicer minimizes the noise by squeezing slowly rather than grinding at high speed like centrifugal juicers. The 8x harder auger is manufactured out of GE Ultem material. Includes fine and coarse dual stage screens, pulp extraction plugs, self-cleaning screen holder, two 50 oz. juicing cups, tamper, brush, and instruction manual.

Perfect! I juice every day and could not be happier with this juicer! I use it to juice carrots, greens, apples, berries.... I have no problem juicing any of these and the ejected pulp is very dry. It is also very fast, I have spent a lot of time in the past using other juicers that take a lot of time. This is as fast as a high-power centrifugal juicer, but only works at 80 rpm! A great way to get high quality juice, fast. My favorite part about it is how easy it is to clean. I can easily be done cleaning in 3 minutes! I have owned many different types of juicers and nothing I have ever used compares to this. If you are serious about juicing, this is a great investment that you will be happy with. Disappointed with this Juicer For the last four years I've used a centrifugal juicer and always wanted a masticating juicer, but never bought one because I knew some of them had problems juicing fruits, and also that they're very slow. So, when I saw the advertisement for this "slow" juicer that was fast and which could juice both leafy greens and fruits equally well, I was very excited. I raptly watched the video demonstrations of its capabilities and ordered it promptly. Some of its purported advantages of extremely dry pulp, more juice, little to no foam, etc. have fallen far short of the promises made. I notice no increased amount of juice, the foam is absolutely no less than it was with a centrifugal juicer, and UNLIKE my trusty centrifigual juicer the Hurom does a LOUSY job of juicing greens. Just try to juice a leaf of Kale and you'll find it gets all wound up around the screw that is supposed to be chewing it up. It's a mess! I have to stop, put it in reverse, which makes the top come off, then unplug it, stick my hands down around the screw and try to get some of the stuck kale out. And, if you are going to juice a green like kale, do it last or anything you try to juice afterwards will also get stuck around the screw with the kale and not get juiced. I have also NOT noticed any less separation than the juice created with my centrifugal juicer. So, that's a bust, too. On the positive side, here are some things I do like about it better than my centrifugal -- it's blessedly quiet, the juice doesn't spit out at high velocity causing splashing everywhere, also small berries and things like pomengranate seeds are easier to juice since they're not trying to jump back out the top of the juicer like they do with the high-speed velocity of the centrifugal juicer. So, if this is your first juicer, you'll probably be pretty happy with it. If you're a seasoned juicer and are looking to buy up, however, for the money I think I'd wished I'd gone for the twin auger juicer instead. Hurom Is My Choice - Love it! I'm extremely happy with my Hurom juicer. To me, it's the best of both worlds between the fast juicing Breville and the slow juicing Green Star. The Hurom is a fast juicer, SUPER EASY cleanup, fun and easy to use, and I love it. I get plenty of juice in one session, which is great. It quickly and efficiently juices greens like kale and romaine while flawlessly juicing cucumbers, apples, and other "watery" fruits. The pulp varied from dry (hearty leafy greens, like kale) to semi-moist (romaine, apples, etc). The juice typically had little foam, but it would depend on what I juiced to determine that. I like to strain my juice quickly with a nut milk bag after making it anyway, so if there is a little pulp or foam on it, it gets held back when straining. I love the warranty, too. I have three juicers: Green Star, Breville and the Hurom. If I didn't have any of them... knowing what I know now, I'd get the Hurom. PS... It also juices wheat grass, which I haven't done, but have heard it's capable of it. That's great!

I'm in love! I LOVE, LOVE this juicer!! I had read a lot of reviews from different sites (positive and very negative ones!). I don't understand those that complain about how slow and "messy" the juicer is...messy?! are u kidding me? this juicer is not messy at all, the clean up is easy; just rinse under the tap and leave out to dry. I didn't even have to use the little brush to scrub the parts. As for speed...Juicing isn't fast food!! Don't be put off by people saying that the juicer is slow; I previously had a centrifugal type juicer (and those things are fast!), although the Omega is slower, once you start juicing you'll have a glass of juice in less than five minutes. For those complaining that they have to chop up the vegs into small pieces, give me break and don't be lazy! if you actually bother to chop your veg/fruit into appropriate sizes, all you do is drop it in and the juicer takes care of the rest all on it's own, you don't even have to bother to push it in with that plunger thing. Some have mentioned that it doesn't juice carots too well; this one was a big concern of mine, but I found no problem with juicing carrots, it juices them just fine for my taste. I found myself using a little less of what I usually use to make juice, so this juicer makes plenty of juice! I haven't used the other features yet (I bought this mainly for juicing), but I'm sure I will be impressed. Buy this juicer, you won't be disappointed and your mind and body will thank you. Peace Omega Quality For Leafy Greens- I purchased this juicer at least partially out of curiosity. I've had a Champion 25+ years, an Acme for 20, and Breville, L'Equip and Omega centrifugal juicers. The problem with these centrifugals is that they are awful for leafy greens. The Champion will do leafy greens okay, but I was interested in higher yield. Plus, I do enjoy a shot of wheatgrass and the Champion won't do it at all. I looked at both twin-gear and single-auger types. Twin-gear juicers are still being developed, so I ended up single-auger. After watching the TriBest infomercial demonstrated by some babe who acted like she was on cocaine, I went to Omega. My Omega centrifugal works flawlessly. I purchased the 8003 over the 8005 or 8006 because I like white appliances. The 8003 is heavier than it appears in photos. However, it is quite compact, smaller than my Champion. Assembly is quite simple; the auger housing, auger, screen and end cone fit logically and the locking wheels are able to be operated with wet hands. As stated by another reviewer, the feed tube is not large; if one wants to drop whole pieces of fruit in this isn't the juicer for you. This is by far the quietest juicer I've owned. No, where this juicer excels is with leafy greens. It will happily chomp its way through any green one wants. Unlike the Champion, stringy greens such as celery won't accidentally get wound around the auger. The trick with this juicer is to let the slow-turning auger feed at its own speed, helped with the pusher. BTW if anyone wants to see this juicer in action, go to YouTube and there are several excellent demos. I can run several carrots at a time through the big-mouth Breville; not on this juicer. However, of course, the Breville won't do leafy greens as this one does! The downside to a white juicer is that carrots and beets can stain. Doesn't bother me, but if that could be a problem, buy the chrome finish one with black peripherals. I know there has been a model 8006 introduced recently with an auger that's supposed to be several times harder than the melamine one used here. For ~$125 more, I don't see the benefit. I expect the price on the 8006 will drop when the novelty wears off. If one wants to juice carrots, apples, and other firm fruit, a centrifugal will probably be the juicer of choice. I still use mine for these. However, if one wants to increase leafy greens in one's diet, one of these will definitely fill the bill. Sweeeeet! I LOVE this thing! What more can I say?? I got it based on positive reviews and I have NOT been disappointed. It even gets all the oil out of flax seeds when I run them through--the waste is dry as cardboard! With juicier things like grapefruit I have to run them through a couple times but it only takes a second, and it's worth it. It gets all the liquid out of anything--wheatgrass, seeds, fennel...definitely worth it!

Great Design Improvements! This design is a great improvement over other Juiceman juicers. The stainless steel body is easy to clean. The polycarbon top has a wider feed opening and easy to clean with a micro fiber cloth. The same for the polycarbon waste bin. The juicers power gives 10% more juice from each fruit or veggie. The (3) power levels are great to adjust for soft to hard items. Plus you get a polycarbon container with a splash and foam control lid. As good as it gets I have been juicing for a lot of years using a variety of juice extractors, and the Juiceman JM503 is far and away the best juicer I have ever used or have seen my friends use. It is powerful, easy to use, and a breeze to clean up. Whoever designed this machine gave it a lot of thought and testing. I know I should be able to find at least one chink in the armor, but I cant see anything I would change. Thanks for a great product: I would recommend this to friends and family as well, without fear of it bouncing back to me. Juiceman Pro JM503 I was disappointed with this juicer which was recommended by a Juice woman & nutritionist when I attended a raw food party at her house. I wanted to buy it for a while but was watching by budget. I finally bought it on sale at Amazon. ...but was disappointed: it is loud, I prefer a quieter juicer & the juice shoots out too fast. It is not as easy to clean as the Juice woman said. I used to own a single gear juicer Samson & was pleased with it as it is quiet & never get stuck. It got old & I had to got rid of it. I will stick to the single gear juicer.

Amazing Juicer! Kuvings Juicer NJ-9310U, FREE Shipping Available! I got this juicer as a birthday present and was over the moon about it. I intended to purchase the other juicer however the store was out of them. After I purchased this juicer, my parents saw how much better my juicer was than theirs. They immediately purchased Kuvings Juicer. This was an amazing juicer, I've ever seen. When I first met this, it came well packed. The juicer was very easy to set up and use even without reading the manual. I made fresh juice every morning with ease. I stucked in a whole apple and the juicer made a cup of apple juice like nothing. The juice was surprisingly smooth. I was very impressed. A powerful motor seemed to shred evreythng. I was really satisfied the noise of the powerful motor. It was also very easy to clean up. It just took all of 5 minutes if you're through. Even comes with its own scrub brush. It worked very well to scrub the metal inner piece that strains the juice. This was the only part I washed by hand. It could be rinsed and put through the dishwasher. The juice is very smooth and frothy. I highly recommend this juicer to friends! Very Pleased I just received my Kuvings Juicer the other day and used it for the first time this morning. It is everything they say it is - it's fast, easy to use, easy to take apart and clean. No tiny, fussy pieces to scrub. It's LOUD, but it's because it spins so fast to extract every drop of juice in whatever you throw in it - and the mesh screen the juice passes through is the finest I've seen so far - so the juice you end up with, even if it's thick is very smooth. I especially love the huge feed tube on it - I juiced a half of a honeydew melon this morning [only had to cut it up into 3 pieces!], rind and all and it ground it up like butter. My previous juicer was a very expensive Green Power juicer that was much more complicated to use, with a lot more parts, took up a LOT more room on the counter and wasn't nearly as good [at 4x the cost of this one!]. I honestly cannot WAIT to use it again. Love it. Highly recommend it. Kuvings Juicer I bought this juicer from Amazon back in August and have been moderately using it twice a week for the past three months in order to give it the best possible review. I had no experience with juicers and compared various reviews to finally make up my mind buying this one. I am glad I made the right decision. The two previous reviewers have said most of what I want to say. However I want to caution users to set it on a non-slip surface when using the high speed to juice fruits with peels on. Since the motor is kind of powerful, it will vibrate violently if a piece of peel is not ejected out of the basket quickly (like apples and oranges). I always peel and cut my oranges in half. The apples can be simply cut and juiced. I have no problem with celery and carrots at any speed. I use high speed for Honeydew and melon. Watch the bin and empty it as often as you can. I like the design. It gives vivace accent to my kitchen countertop. I highly recommend it.

Good juicer for the price, but leaves a lot to be desired. I have owned several different juicers. Given that this is a "TV" juicer (and cheaply priced) I was very skeptical. Still, with the good reviews, I thought I'd try it.Like any product it has its pluses and minuses. So I actually have several juicers.I'm not about to throw away my Acme juicer, but the Power Juicer has earned its place in my kitchen. The Acme costs two or three times more, and is made of stainless steel mostly. Don't get me wrong, the power juicer is pretty good, but it is almost all plastic.It only has a 90-day warranty (except for the motor). So I don't think Jack LaLanne has a whole lot of faith in the product.Second, the blade is thin - I'm afraid it will wear down quicly, but I could by wrong.On the plus side though, it is convenient to have the pulp ejection. And it does seem to make more juice than some centrifugal juicers I have owned.In addition it is great being able to put most fruits in whole, instead of having to cut them into smaller pieces.Initially I said it was hard to clean. But now that I've gotten used to just throwing all the parts in the dishwasher, I've changed my mind. It cleans up easily.Unfortunately most of it is plastic so it stains from the fruits and vegetables (like carrots).Because you can't use cellulose filters, the juice is gritty (compared to the Acme 6001). The juice from the Acme is smooth with no detectable particules in it. The juice from the power juicer was noticeably gritty. But sometimes that is good - if for example you want to orange juice with some pulp to it.I recommend this product if you are going to be a casual juicer. However I'm concerned that with daily juicing, it might not hold up like one made of mostly steel. Great Little Juicer Not having a lot of time for juicing in the morning before work, I purchased this juicer because of the large chute feature. I like being able to juice whole pieces of fruit at one time, instead of having to cut the pieces up as with the Juiceman Jr. that I had before. This juicer IS quieter as stated in the ad. The pulp is not dry as stated. But it was a little drier than that of my former juicer. I also think the quantity and quality of juice is better. The only adjustment I had to make was in cleaning. Instead of being able to lift the whole basket/blade assembly out and clean it as one piece, as with the Juiceman Jr., this juicer comes with a tool that you use to unscrew the blade and remove it as a seperate piece from the basket. Although the bigger size of all of the pieces makes clean up a little easier, the extra step adds to cleaning time when you are on the go. I guess this is a fair exchange for not having to cut up the items to be juiced. All in all I would say that this is a good product for the money. By the way, my Juiceman Jr. was all plastic. I had it for over 8 years and it held up very well. This juicer seems to be sturdier than that one. If you buy one, get the deluxe model. The extras are very useful for a little more money. A Healthy Lifestyle Change NOTE: I want to say first that I have the Deluxe Model and was very surprised and concerned after reading some of the reviews. I have not experienced some of the issues described; but will give my honest assessment below. Is it hard for you to eat your vegetables and have enough fruit servings in a day? It was for me; so I decided to buy another juicer. My last juicer had a very small spout and you had to cut up everything before you put it into the juicer; and it was extremely noisy. I got rid of it because it did not measure up. I purchased the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer and have been very pleased with it. I read the other reviews and I will try to respond to them as well based upon my own experiences. First, for me the juicer that I have has been excellent. I juice fruits and most vegetables. You have to insert soft vegetables followed by hard vegetables for it to work optimally. I have had no problems following the directions which indicate that this works best. I have made some wonderful drinks with the Power Juicer. Here is one called the Energy Boost Drink which I love: 1 Carrot 1 Celery Stalk 1 Beet Root Parsley Lettuce Watercress Spinach 3 Tomatoes Salt To Taste It is terrific and the machine does an exceptional job with very little pulp at all. I don't think the machine does as well with grasses. Especially if you are not following them up with a hard vegetable or fruit upon insertion. However, the following fruits and vegetables have worked well for me (I have used all of these in juices so far): FRUITS: Pineapple, Apples, Guava, Papaya, Oranges, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupes, honeydew, limes, lemons, strawberries, grapes and blueberries only if followed by a hard fruit, grapefruit, mangoes, raspberries only if followed by a hard fruit, kiwi, peaches (pitted), pears VEGETABLES AND HERBS: Carrots, Celery, Beet Root, Parsley, Lettuce, Watercress, Spinach, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Peppers, Ginger Root, Kale, Fennel Bulb, Horseradish Root, Garlic, Onion, Cilantro, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Lemongrass I have the Power Juicer Deluxe (I BOUGHT IT IN A STORE - MODEL CALLED DELUXE) and I have now learned that there is a Power Juicer Elite which does even a better job with soft fruits, nuts and soy. In the Elite Model, you can make your own soy milk, almond milk while extracting the juice from the nuts, themselves. You can even put plums, peaches and cherries in whole. For the reviewer who is interested in a more advanced technology to handle the grasses and the soft fruits better, I would recommend spending the extra money and getting the Power Juicer Elite model. Just be careful to check out which model you are actually getting because there are "slight" differences between them. I did find with the Deluxe model that the lemongrass and the berries if not followed by a hard fruit or vegetable did not work as well. However, the Power Juicer Elite should work well for those looking for soy technology (rice milk, coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk). ABOUT THE DISHWASHER: I have found the dishwasher to be perfectly safe for all of the components, but I only put them on the top shelf. I would not trust them close to the heating element of the dishwasher. I honestly have put all components in the dishwasher with no problem (only top shelf). In fact, many times I clean the juicer components easily with the sprayer in less than 5 minutes; and it does not seem that difficult for me; although I use it every day and maybe I have gotten use to it. You can also purchase separately from Jack LaLanne a special scrub brush which works extremely well in cleaning the filter very quickly and safely. I would recommend that additional purchase and it can be found on the Jack LaLanne site under Accessories. Here are some of the different models and what they offer the user: POWER JUICER ORIGINAL * Special Patented * Extraction Technology * Extra-Large Round Feeder * Super-Sized Detachable * Pulp Collector * Dishwasher Safe * Whisper-Quiet Operation * 3,600 RPM Motor Has * Lifetime Guarantee * Built-In Safety Features * Surgical-Quality * Stainless Steel Blade * Commercial Quality POWER JUICER PRO: * Stainless Steel Body (THIS IS REALLY THE ONLY DIFFERENCE FROM THE ORIGINAL WHICH IS WHITE) * Special Patented * Extraction Technology * Extra-Large Round Feeder * Super-Sized Detachable * Pulp Collector * Dishwasher Safe * Whisper-Quiet Operation * 3,600 RPM Motor Has * Lifetime Guarantee * Built-In Safety Features * Surgical-Quality * Stainless Steel Blade * Commercial Quality POWER JUICER EXPRESS: (ONLY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL IS THE NO DRIP SPOUT AND A LITTLE SMALLER FOOTPRINT) NEW! Compact Design * NEW! No Drip Spout * Special Patented * Extraction Technology * Extra-Large Round Feeder * Super-Sized Detachable * Pulp Collector * Dishwasher Safe * Whisper-Quiet Operation * 3,600 RPM Motor Has * Lifetime Guarantee * Built-In Safety Features * Surgical-Quality * Stainless Steel Blade * Commercial Quality POWER JUICER PLATINUM: (ONLY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL IS THE PLATINUM EXTERIOR: * Special Patented * Extraction Technology * Extra-Large Round Feeder * Super-Sized Detachable * Pulp Collector * Dishwasher Safe * Whisper-Quiet Operation * 3,600 RPM Motor Has * Lifetime Guarantee * Built-In Safety Features * Surgical-Quality Stainless * Steel Blade * Commercial Quality POWER JUICER ELITE: (THIS IS WHERE THERE ARE MAJOR DIFFERENCES, WHOLE CHERRIES, NUTS, PEACHES, PLUMS,ETC. WITH PITS CAN BE INSERTED INTO JUICER; YOU CAN MAKE SOY, RICE ALMOND MILK, NEW NO DRIP SPOUT, SOY TECHNOLOGY, AN INDUCTION MOTOR, IT NOW CLAIMS FRUIT AND VEGETABLE JUICES (BUT IT ALSO DOES FRUITS WITH PITS LIKE PEACHES AND PLUMS WHICH FOR THE ORIGINAL MODEL..YOU HAD TO TAKE OUT THE PITS FIRST..NOW YOU CAN PUT THEM ALL IN WHOLE: CORE, PIT AND ALL) ALL NEW! Soy Technology * Commercial Quality * Induction Motor * Fruit Juices and * Vegetable Juices * Special Patented * Extraction Technology * Extra-Large Round Feeder * Super-Sized Detachable * Pulp Collector * Dishwasher Safe * Whisper-Quiet Operation * Built-In Safety Features * Surgical-Quality * Stainless Steel Blade * Non-Drip Spout * 3,600 RPM Motor Has * Lifetime Guarant ee So be careful what model you get, the Original is still the best bargain in white (although berry stain can be a problem with white plastic), it also comes in stainless and that in itself may be more expensive. If I wanted to upgrade, I would select the Elite. The original and all of its components are dishwasher safe; but only for the top shelf and not near any heating element. Grasses do not work optimally with the Original and you have to alternate soft fruits followed by hard ones as well. For those folks who are looking for that added power, the Elite should suffice and do an excellent job or look for a wheat grass juicer if that is your focus. For me, the Original Deluxe is a terrific machine for the price and I am thinking now about upgrading to the Elite at some time in the future. I love it and I love the juices. Hope the above review gives you an idea of which model might work better for you. The Original in white can be found in stores for much much less. Additionally, you can buy platforms so the machine sits higher and then you can use a full size glass; much easier. I also prop mine on a cutting board and that helps too. The platform can also be purchased separately. Enjoy your raw vegetables and fruits effortlessly. You can have seven raw vegetables a day in a single glass and never have to worry about getting enough vegetables again. Bentley/2007 Jack Lalanne Power Juicer Deluxe Version

Juicing is a healthful way to eat fruits and veggies, and the Waring Juice Extractor takes juicing to the next level. A high-speed 400-watt motor makes the extraction process efficient, and makers of carrot juice will especially appreciate the brushed stainless-steel housing--the extractor won't turn orange with age. Everyone who's ever owned a juicer knows that cleanup is the biggest downfall of home juicing. With the Waring, that won't be an issue--the compact strainer, pulp collector, lid, and juice collector are all dishwasher-safe, and the stainless-steel body wipes clean with a sponge. The extractor's die-cast base stays steady on the countertop, and its cushioned feet will minimize vibration, protecting the countertop from scratches. The extractor comes with an instruction book and a 90 day limited appliance warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings Editor's note: This is a reconditioned small appliance. Reconditioned generally means that the appliance has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the appliance back to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes.
Terrific value for under $25 I've wanted a juicer for a long time, but could never really justify the expense, knowing that I'd very likely quickly tire of the maintenance involved. When I saw this juicer for under $25, it seemed like the perfect opportunity. When I opened the box, I was immediately impressed with the unit's solid construction. You can see right away that this isn't a plastic piece of junk that's going to break righ away. With the unit's first use, I juiced: cabbage, kale, spinach, carrots, onions and peppers. The unit - while not as powerful as more expensive models, I'm sure - juiced up everything with no hesitation. I would describe the pulp to be damp, but not what I'd call really wet. I dreaded the juicer clean-up process that I'd heard so much about. Disassembly of the unit is a breeze. There are basically three main parts to remove and it takes all of thirty-seconds. No problem. If there's one thing I could change, it would be a better designed pulp-catcher that would allow a bag to be used. This is only a minor gripe and has in no way made me regret the purchase. If you are a casual juicer, looking to get your feet wet without spending a ton of money, this would be a perfect choice. I'm still amazed that I got this for under $25 and I'd recommend it without hesitation. What a bargain! I got this thing for $25 and it was definitely money well-spent. It juices anything I throw at it and is stylish and easy to clean. Despite being reconditioned, when it showed up I wouldn't have known it wasn't new if the site hadn't said reconditioned. Waring Juice Extractor First, this juicer is marked down which is a red flag. I'll tell you why. THe feed chute is incredibly small. You have to cut everytning into narrow pieces so it fits in. THe pulp collector is inside the machine and gets filled very fast. I was juicing about 6 carrots with a few sticks of celery. The pulp catcher was full already. I hate the fact that I need to disassemble the machine and dump the pulp container more often than I should. At $50, it may see like it's a bargain and if you're juicing once a week then it may be but if you're planning on using this every day and juice a lot of vegetables then forget about it. It is a hassle. There are way better juicers to be found for a few bucks more.

Breville Refurbished Die-Cast Juice Extractor XX800JEXL with 3 inch patented feed tube allows for juicing whole fruits, juices an 8 oz. glass of juice in less 5 seconds, titanium cutting disc blades and micromesh filter give maximum juice extraction, 1000 watts of power, high and low speed, 1 liter juice jug with froth separator and cleaning brush included.

Make great-tasting fresh fruit or vegetable drinks at home with this efficient juicer from Breville. The unit's Italian-made 1000-watt (1-1/3 horsepower) motor delivers ultimate power and durability, while its built-in electronic "smart chip" regulates power to the blades, depending on the juicing load. The juicer's patented, dual-action, diagonal knife blades are encased by a titanium-plated stainless-steel cutting disc, which features 115 individual knives to grind pulp into the tiniest particles. The machine's circular three-inch stainless feed tube easily processes whole fruits and vegetables without pre-cutting, slicing, or dicing. The patented design centers the feed tube directly over the cutter, providing the strength to process large quantities of fruit and vegetables instantly. For harder fruits and vegetables, like apples and carrots, the juicer's high speed delivers a crushing 13,000 RPM, approximately three times faster than most other machines. At such speeds, the pulp particles are "g-forced" against the stainless-steel micro-mesh filter with tremendous pressure to squeeze out as much juice as possible. An 8-ounce glass of juice from whole apples takes less than five seconds. Low speed spins at a whisper-quiet 6500 RPMs, which delivers the best results when juicing leafy vegetables, or softer fruits such as watermelons or oranges. A 34-fluid-ounce (1 liter) juicing pitcher, a large 100-fluid-ounce pulp container, and a cleaning brush are included, and dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a snap. Housed in beautiful die-cast stainless steel, the juicer measures 8 by 9 by 19 inches and carries a 90-day warranty. Editor's note: This is a reconditioned small appliance. Reconditioned generally means that the appliance has been returned to the manufacturer, who returns the appliance to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes.
The Best Juicer Value Yet! NOTE: The refurb unit DOES come with a brush and all of the parts that Amazon lists. Do NOT believe the reviewer below who stated that this is not the case. In fact, one of the units I purchased actually included TWO brushes - maybe I got his! :) This is a fantastic value. I've purchased 2 of them so far, one was a gift. I was so delighted with the quality and convenience of this juicer that I gave one to my most valued employee. The unit is extremely well constructed and designed. The feel, fit and finish are all excellent. We use this juicer daily and we are amazed at how fast and efficiently it produces juice of all types. Use and cleanup are both fast and easy with this model. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't tried other juicers. The juicing basket drops in, press into place, install the top cover, snap the locking bar into place, slide the pulp container under the cover, place the juice pitcher under the nozzle and you are ready to go. We also have a "world famous" Champion Juicer which we had previously thought was as good as it gets. The Breville 800 blows it away in terms of convenience, ease of use, no mess/no fuss, and features; low speed for soft fruit and leafy veggies, and high speed for firmer fruit and veggies. Another advantage with the Breville is that it is very efficient in extracting the most juice from the fruits and vegetables. The single most important fact with the Breville is that the ease of use/cleanup will make it more likely that you will use it to make beneficial, healthy, juices. If a juicer is a pain to put together, use and clean you will be less inclined to use it a few months after purchase. Not so with the Breville 800, it is easy to use and clean making it a pleasure to juice. The operational design of the Breville 800 is extremely well thought out, the pulp goes into an included, cavernous container and the juice goes into the included pitcher. The spout shown in the photo is totally enclosed in an opening in the pitcher so that no juice leaks anywhere but directly into the pitcher (as designed) - the same for the pulp output. You can make over a quart of juice in minutes - uninterrupted by the need to empty a container. I highly recommend this product and the remanufactured units are a great value. All of the "consumable" parts are brand new. Of the two units I bought one had a small scratch on the housing while the other was in perfect condition. The scratch in no way will effect the operation of the unit and is tolerable in light of this great price. There is one minor complaint: The lid on the juice pitcher will fall off while you are pouring juice which can create a big mess and some loss of juice. The lid should have some sort of retention mechanism. I suggest removing the lid before pouring to avoid this problem. [Edit: After more experience with the pouring problem we first experienced we now find it better to simply hook a finger over the lid of the juice pitcher while pouring to hold the lid on. The lid contains a skimmer which retains the foam which occasionally develops at the top of the juice. While I don't mind the foam, my wife prefers that it be removed.] Further thought: While some have complained of the noise that this unit makes I do not find it at all excessive. Especially in light of the high power and fast output. Sure you could have a quieter motor but it would be more likely to wear out in a short time. The motor on the Breville is powerful but not at all overly noisy. 7/20/08 Update: We continue to use this juicer every day and are still extremely satisfied! Superb value. Our favorite juice (for 2 large glasses) 7-8 organic carrots, 1 to 2 apples (Gala or Fuji), 1/2 organic beet (about a golf ball size) for a wonderfully refreshing and healthy juice cocktail. Both my wife and I feel a noticeable increase in energy and the powerful psychological satisfaction of knowing that we are getting the freshest, purest juice money can buy. 11/5/09 Update: The Breville is still going strong and we are continuing to juice daily. The high quality of the design, materials and peformance of this unit leads me to believe that it could easily last many years to come. We love our favorite juice listed in the 7/20/08 update above and never get tired of drinking it. The Breville has been problem free for over a year and a half and we are still using the first cutter basket that came with the unit. We might need a new cutter basket in another 6 months or so - time will tell. The instructions do indicate that this is a wear item that needs replacement as needed. This item continues to earn 5+ stars out of 5 in our opinion. Amazing Juicer at a Fantastic Price - Buy This!! This juice extractor is a great deal and is by far the most powerful & efficient unit with the highest yield I've seen. While a bit noisy, it runs quieter than my blender. And cleanup is surprisingly easy (esp. if a plastic bag is put in the pulp container). It's large - comparable to a large stand mixer or food processor, but is quick to put together & tear down. Another post warns that the brush and pitcher were not included. They came with mine. I checked and it included everything the new one does. Aside from a few small blemishes it looks new and performs flawlessly. My only warning is that you prepare to buy more produce. It juices things in no time. I spend more time washing the produce than actually juicing it. The recipes in the manual are quite good, plus there are MANY recipes online and in juicing books. Of course the real bonus is that you can't buy fresher juice. An unexpected feature I stumbled on occurred once when I assembled the unit incorrectly (& in a hurry; hard to believe as assembly is dead simple) - it wouldn't run. Naturally at first I blamed the unit, but, at length, discovered I hadn't completely seated the collector & top. At 13,00 rpm that could've been a disaster. So, after only few days ownership, I've used it at least 10 times and have thoroughly enjoyed delicious results. Highly recommended! Breville Juice Fountain Elite This is the best juicer out there! Easy to use & clean. It juices fast without the loud noise of our old non Breville machine. Shipping was fast and safe. Very happy with my purchase.

Ultimate Juicing: Delicious Recipes for Over 125 of the Best Fruit & Vegetable Juice Combinations

Amazon Sales Rank: #12496 in Books Published on: 2000-06-22 Released on: 2000-06-22 Original language: English Number of items: 1 Binding: Paperback 240 pages
Review Tantalizing Recipes to Tingle the Taste Buds -- Review Review Tantalizing Recipes to Tingle the Taste Buds From the Inside Flap Tantalizing Recipes to Tingle the Taste BudsCold, delicious juice drinks never go out of style. They're perfect in any kind of weather and at any time of day. Most important, they're as nutritious as they are mouth-watering. Ultimate Juicing overflows with 125 great-tasting fruit and vegetable drinks that use the sweet, zesty juices of everything from apples to tomatoes. Inside, you'll discover a wealth of fun and easy-to-prepare recipes for the most delectable fruit and vegetable drinks imaginable, including:·Adam's Apple ·Berry the Hatchet ·The Beet Goes On ·Grin and Carrot ·Cool Hand Cuke ·Heard It Through the Grapefruit ·First Mango on the Moon ·And many more!With a nutritional analysis for each recipe, you can create both healthy and delicious treats from home in this delightful countertop partner to Ultimate Smoothies.
A Complete Guide that Doesn't Take Itself too Seriously! Allow me to be blunt--I don't buy into the whole health-craze notion that juicing is the silver bullet for ultimate physical health and spiritual awakening. I'm just a no-frills, moderately healthy woman who wants to enjoy the luxury of fresh-squeezed juices in her own kitchen without having to pay a gourmet price for them. To that end, I splurged on a good but affordable juice extractor and bought this book to learn the basics of making homemade juices. As with everything I purchase online, I checked out other customers' reviews of various juicing information and cookbooks beforehand, and Rodnitzky's book appeared to contain what I needed without too much fru-fru, "juicing will change your life" craziness. What I found when the book arrived was that not only does Ultimate Juicing provide all the basic information one needs to make healthy and delicious juices at home, it also avoids the pitfalls of hard-sell promotional content("these recipes will work best with such-and-such brand juice extractor") and extravagant expectations for juicing's health and/or spiritual benefits. In 8 concise, sensible chapters, Rodnitzky describes the nutritional value of fresh-made juices; proper selection, preparation, and storage of produce; juicer selection (without the hard-sell: the juicers are described in terms of operation with brand names mentioned only as examples); and recipes for basic, health-boosting, exotic, and alcoholic juice drinks. The core information and excellent variety of recipes easily offset the silliness of the recipe titles, and the comprehensive index makes the book a handy reference for everyday use in the kitchen. I would recommend this book for veteran and novice juicers alike, regardless of their physical fitness or spiritual level. Good recipes and a lot of fluff My wife and I bought this book because we wanted Juice recipes. We already own a juicer and we do not need to be sold on the benefits of Juicing. Nevertheless, this author, like many authors of these types of books, felt it necessary to devote a considerable portion of the book talking about why you should be juicing and the health benefits of juicing fresh fruits and vegetables. Needless to say, we ignore those portions of the book (along with the section on how to choose a juicer or how to garnish a drink). But, despite all the fluff, there are good juice recipes in this book and an excellent table which gives the nutritional statistics for individual fruits and vegetables. In addition to this the book also gives a nutritional summary for each drink. It's the juice book I've been looking for for 10 years! Like a lot of people, I love juicing, but I've been through too many juice books that place juicing alongside acupuncture, healing crystals and tarot cards as if drinking juice was going to bring me to a higher spirtual level. Look, if that works for you, more power to you, but what I want out of a juice book is two things - great recipes and some fun. This book has both. The recipes are outstanding - you'll find some drinks in here that at first glance seem a little strange, maybe even disturbing, but give them a try and you'll never go back to just fresh squeezed orange juice. The other thing a like about this book is the humor - it seems like every recipe title is a play on words or pun, I think this book could sell equally well in the humor section! I can't decide what is more refreshing - the recipes or the book!

Get a nutritious start to your day with fresh tomato, carrot, apple, or orange juice--or invent your own healthy blend. This powerful (and some would say noisy) 600-watt juicer churns out a quart of juice in just one minute. An extra-wide feed tube saves chopping time since it accommodates whole tomatoes, carrots, and small apples, and the removable parts make this one of the fastest juicers to clean. To operate, simply turn the juicer on and insert washed whole or chopped fruits and vegetables through the feed tube--pulp and seeds will shoot out one side into the provided pulp container, and juice will pour out the spout. To catch the juice, you can use either a glass or a provided juice container with lid. The juice container features a handy divider to separate the juice from the froth when pouring. Weighing thirteen pounds, the juice extractor measures 15 by 6-1/2 by 16 inches and comes with a one-year warranty. A helpful instruction booklet that includes tips and recipes is included to get you started. This is a factory-reconditioned juicer which includes a 90-day manufacturer's warranty.

Weakness is in "Reconditioning" Purchased this and the XXJE95, 2 speed model. Basically, these are probably very good juice extractors, however, the reconditioning suffers from poor quality control. We've received a total of 5 juicers, all but the first arrived dirty and one even had a moldy filter. With this model, the initial problem was juice spraying out from all sides. The machine was assembled properly, the filter was clean, it just sprayed juice. The juice that made it into the glass was delicious. The replacement arrived looking more used than the first, however, it didn't spray juice. Having had it for only three days, let's hope it continues working. It is very important with these juicers to wash them immediately, as the pulp remains on the filter if you don't. Even though it's dishwasher safe, I like to wash everything by hand and always hold the filter to the light to make sure it's clean. I've also found that if you use a light touch in pushing your fruits/vegetables into the chute, you'll extract more juice and have drier pulp. Now on to the manufacturer -- Breville's customer service took a month to respond to my numerous calls and emails, then blamed Amazon. It's not Amazon who does the "reconditioning." Since these have a reduced warranty period and because Breville (actually HWI or Metro Thebe in the USA)has been slow in responding, I would not recommend purchasing one of these in other than new condition. Even at the sale Amazon prices, there's something unsettling about receiving appliances in less than clean condition. This is not a yard sale. Amazing Juicer I failed to find anything in "reconditioned" condition inside the box. The blade was new and sealed. The plastic parts didn't even have a single scratch or a use mark. The juicer is fantastic in what it does. Has increased our consumption of fruits and veggies 5 fold. We use it 2-3 times a week and have not found anything to complain about yet. The recipe book that comes with has some exciting combinations of juices etc. NOTE: From experience, clean the juicer IMMEDIATELY after use, this takes 2-3 minutes which can turn into 10-15 minutes if you wait longer. The brush provided with the juicer is the best bet for cleaning the blade. A Product Of Poor Design and Not Worth The $50.00 Invested I was really excited to find this juicer for only [...] as it is so much less than other juicers online. From my research people gave high review of almost all Breville Products and I almost purchased the top of the line one for [...] How glad I didnt as the so called reman. juicer I got is junk in my opinion and compared to other juicers I have it is messy to use and is messy to clean. The whole thing is clumsy putting together as just doenst seat properly until you get it just perfect and not that big of a deal but still annoying. I found that on a whole apple I had to apply alot of pressure and the it was about a second it devoured it. Sounds great but not the feel you are looking for, plus big junks of apple, carrot or whatever you are juicing is spitted into the reservoir. I have found that I need to rejuice the scraps and how messy that is trying to recut them as this juicer just SUCKS BIGTIME. I will Resell on Ebay as I will never buy a Breville product again as they look cool but are made in China by a not so good Manufacture I guess. I thought price was a steal for $50.00 delivered but not a steal when it functions half way and just in a few months that savings will be eaten up because of the fruits and vegatables being wasted and not juiced. I will stick with my old HealthMaster juicer built in the late 60's as it is all steel and kicks [...] compared to this one that has a 600watts and mine has under 200 but is built the old way and will just use until it wears out. I hope this review helps.

Juicing for Life: A Guide to the Benefits of Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Juicing
By Cherie Calbom

From Publishers Weekly While Calbom and Keane promise no quick fix for various ailments, their simple-to-prepare natural "potions" fit the contemporary demand for instant--and healthful--gratification. Arranged alphabetically by ills (which range from acne to age spots to chronic fatigue syndrome, varicose veins and water retention), juice "cures" are touted here as "vitamin and mineral cocktails" that can detoxify the body and supplement the diet. Many of the same juice recipes work on sundry and specific ills; recipes for potassium broth, "very veggie" cocktail, "Cherie's cleansing cocktail," "ginger hopper," "garlic express" and "chlorophyll cocktail" are among the repeated panaceas. At the very least, juicing raw produce is a relatively direct means of introducing the vegetables recommended by nutritionists into daily habits. So while some will pigeonhole Juicing as just another New Age treatise, others--convinced of the place of the occasional juice fast in the diet--will find the volume fascinating, and well worth the investment in a juicer and organic produce. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. About the Author Cherie Calbom and Maureen Keane for Avery
The Joy of Juicing The benefits of juicing are enormous, by getting the essential vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables in a quick, digestible form. Juicing can provide a "meal in a glass" that can make a great snack or even a substitute for a meal in a calorie restricted diet, and for anyone who has to "eat and run", a tall glass of juice is the ultimate fast food. Part One is "The Basics", with excellent guidelines, including one page of "Juicing Tips" that I found useful. Part Two, "The Disorders", is the bulk of the book, and addresses common ailments and diseases, describes the condition, gives general recommendations, dietary modifications, nutrients that help, beneficial juices and suggested recipes. A wide range of disorders are discussed. Under "C" for instance, there is not only the obvious cancer and cholesterolemia (high cholesterol) listed, but also ailments like carpal tunnel syndrome, which is not usually thought of as being helped through nutrition ("The majority of carpal tunnel sufferers have been found to have low levels of vitamin B6", page 93), and also that bane of 40+ women, cellulite: "The good news is that cellulite can be reversed significantly" (page. 100), and the book tells you how. Part Three is "The Diet Plans", and has suggestions for everyday meals, with basic healthy eating, "Immune Support Diet", and many different types of cleansing diets and advice. Cherie "The Juicewoman" Calbom and Maureen Keane have a long list of credentials and "know their onions" in the field of nutrition, and if you believe that what you eat has a direct impact on you physical health and stress level, this is a good book to have in your library. Also recommended is "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" by James and Phyllis Balch. Great resource for curative recipes If you've wondered just what do do with your juicer, look no more! This is a practical book that not only espouses the curative properties of juicing, but gives an index of ailments and recommends various juices. From acne to cancer and fatigue to insomnia...they have it all. This is a good reference. by T.H. in San Mateo, Calif Excellent Juicing for Life, Health and Vitality What I love about this book is that ailments you wish to cure are listed in category order, which makes it quite easy to find a juicing recipe to help reverse the internal effects. Additionally, the book gives wonderful general recommendations along with an explanation of that ailment. On top of that, "Dietary Modifications" are provided with practical, easy to understand advice as to what foods and beverages to avoid, along with "Nutrients that Help" combined with "Beneficial Juices". Then, to top it all off there are great "Suggested Juicing Recipes" that will target whatever ails you. From anti-ageing to chronic fatigue syndrome, to underweight, this book is simple to follow and provides you with the knowledge of exactly what your system needs in order to maintain maximum health. Highly recommended if you want to improve your health, and bring nutrient-rich vitamins and minerals into your body naturally.

best kitchen tool i've ever purchased I've owned this juicer for 8 years, and have never had a problem. Of course, I only juice apples, oranges, carrots, grapefruit, ginger, and beets, so I do not know how stuff like spinach, broccoli, wheatgrass, and the sort turn out. Clean-up involves brushing off 5 parts, which takes about one minute. Just buy a nylon bristle brush, make sure to use only warm water (never hot so as not to mis-shape the pieces), and clean immediately after use. To give you an idea of how economical this machine is, and juicing in general: yesterday, i bought an 18 pound bag of Texas Rio Red grapefruit for $6. There were 21 grapefruit, large and very juicy. I used 4 this morning to make three large beer mug-size glasses. That is 29 cents times 4, for a total of $1.20, approximately. $1.20 divided by 3 glasses is 40 cents. Very good compared to $3 or $4 at a juice shop, where they are normally adding apple juice from concentrate or ice. I just hope mine goes 27 years like the other reviewer's. Champion Juicer This is possibly the best juicer on the market. I have owned mine for twenty-seven (27) years! I have never had a problem with it, and it has aided me in improving my health. I beg to differ with the other reviewer, as I juice wheatgrass fairly often, with no trouble. This Company is a Nightmare to Work With! I got my Champion Juicer about 15 years ago, and LOVED it. It is a well made and versatile workhorse that does everything from grinding grain to making peanut butter. However do not be fooled by the new machines. They look the same, but the interior configuration is different. It does not work the way it is supposed to, and the company doesn't care. Several years after I got my juicer, my mother-in-law wanted to get a better juicer than the centrifigual one she already had. Upon MY advice, she gave away her old, reliable juicer and bought a Champion. I was shocked that the motor sounded loose and rattly, and the pulp came out wet and drippy. Hardly any juice came out. It was obviously a piece of junk that was either broken, or poor quality, or both. I called Whole Foods, where it was purchased, and they said that they did not offer any warranties on their juicers. They advised me to contact Champion directly. When I called the Champion company, the person who answered the phone was rude and defensive. She said that they had "upgraded" the unit, and that the noise simply reflected the "better" motor. She flatly denied that the machine could possibly be defective, and she said that the company policy does not allow refunds. She claimed that we must be doing something wrong - it didn't matter that I already owned one and knew how it was supposed to work. My only choice was to ship this extremely heavy machine back to California (AT MY OWN EXPENSE), or accept it as is! So my unfortunate mother-in-law had given away her good juicer, and was stuck with one that barely worked. It languished in her cupboard for a long time, unused. Now, several years later, she is caring for a sick family member, and desperately needs fresh juice. We lugged it out, thinking that it was better than nothing, but when we plugged it in today, it wouldn't even turn on. The machine is totally dead, and she did not even get a single full glass of juice from it! Of course, the company claims that "nothing is wrong with the machine". My suggestion is that if you want a good juicer, buy an Omega, or purchase a used Champion that is more than 15 years old.

From Breville

Breville JE900 Juice Fountain - If you take your juicing seriously, then you will definitely fall in love with the Breville Juice Fountain. Taking juicing to a new level, the juice fountain can give you a glass of juice in just 5 seconds!! It can do this with a powerful 600 watt motor and a patented extra large feed chute that can juice fruit & vegetables whole!

Get a nutritious start to your day with fresh tomato, carrot, apple, or orange juice--or invent your own healthy blend. This powerful (and some would say noisy) 600-watt juicer churns out a quart of juice in just one minute. An extra-wide feed tube saves chopping time since it accommodates whole tomatoes, carrots, and small apples, and the removable parts make this one of the fastest juicers to clean. To operate, simply turn the juicer on and insert washed whole or chopped fruits and vegetables through the feed tube--pulp and seeds will shoot out one side into the provided pulp container, and juice will pour out the spout. To catch the juice, you can use either a glass or a provided juice container with lid. The juice container features a handy divider to separate the juice from the froth when pouring. Weighing thirteen pounds, the juice extractor measures 15 by 6-1/2 by 16 inches and comes with a one-year warranty. A helpful instruction booklet that includes tips and recipes is included to get you started. --Ann Bieri Changing the World, One Apple at a Time… Unrivalled power meets highest quality components and revolutionary design in this life changing appliance. Touted as North America’s fastest juicer, after being timed making an 8-ounce glass of juice in an astonishing 5 seconds, the world’s fastest juicer might be a more apt description. Designed by innovative, world-renowned engineer Keith Hensel in 1999, the Breville Juice Fountain was the world’s first domestic juicer to accept whole fruit and vegetables with no chopping, peeling, slicing, or dicing. Named for its ability to produce literally a fountain of continuous juice, where other juicers generate a mere trickle, the JE900 Juice Fountain has seriously changed the way the world looks at juice. Where traditional juice extractors require time consuming preparation, feeding, and cleaning, the Juice Fountain completes the whole home juicing experience in less time than it takes to brew a cup of coffee. The Juice Fountain’s ability to juice whole fruit, to reduce juicing time by up to 90%, and to yield up to 30% more juice, stems from a combination of innovations. Even its unofficial tagline as "a juice bar in your own home" doesn’t do justice to just how fast and convenient the machine is. Thousands of families from Australia to Japan and everywhere in between enjoy fresh, healthy juice every day thanks to the Breville JE900 Juice Fountain. Amazing Innovations
10 stars would do this machine better justice... After my flimsy Juiceman Junior finally went to small appliance heaven, I decided to look around for a machine that I can actually live with = use it without hating to clean the thing afterwards. I'd never heard of Breville before, but the solid 5-star rating caught my eye. The idea of a wide enough feeder tube so I don't have to spend so much prep time was enticing, but what made me decide to buy the machine (cheaper some other place, look around) were the high marks on cleanup and performance. - Usually I don't write a review right away, but this juicer simply blew me away. What a beautiful piece of well thought-through craftmanship! Being German, I certainly prefer lasting performance over flimsy throw-away items, and this machine looks and feels like it will stand the test of time. I don't find the motor any louder than my previous machine, so that's not a problem. One reviewer wrote to put a damp paper towel around the pulp catcher rim to prevent tiny bits of pulp from flying out. I still had few tiny escapees, probably because I didn't do it right, but one quick wipe took care of it. Cleanup is indeed almost a joy compared to other machines. The mesh screen is build solidly, no plastic parts to wear out where it counts. This machine is worth every penny and then some, and I thank all previous reviewers for having helped me select such a wonderful piece of kitchen equipment! Wonderful product I got this machine as a birthday present and am over the moon about it. I've made some wonderful juices...papaya/apple, apple/carrot/ginger, and citrus mix. Anything I put in is thoroughly juiced...very little moisture is left in the pulp container. It is loud but this doesn't bother me at all. I do find that I have to cut the fruit into smaller wedges...whole apples, in spite of what's advertised on the box, do NOT fit down the spout. Still, a very minor point. I highly recommend this machine...for the price, you can't beat it. And clean-up takes all of 5 minutes if you're thorough. Even comes with its own scrub brush. After intensive research, this was the one I research almost everything I buy: my blender, coffeemaker, palm pilot, my car, electric razor, laundry detergent, etc.After about 5 hours of research, I decided on the Breville JE900. My mother has a juicer from the TV guy (Jack LaL...) which I thought was decent. But I wanted to try something different, and the Breville had the highest marks I could find for the price.Assembly was a snap after unpacking the box. While the juicer is mostly plastic, its high grade plastic and looks sharp on the counter.The biggest differences between the Breville and the Jack LaL... juicer are: 1) size, 2) cleanup, and 3) noise.The Breville is smaller (but juices just as much), MUCH easier to clean (the Breville mesh screen quickly snaps in and out, while the other one requires a special tool to unscrew the screen), and is louder than the Jack LaL juicer. All of the reviews I read said "the Breville is TOO LOUD." It may be a bit noisy, but it can crunch through hard pineapple, apple cores, grape stems, hard broccoli stalks, etc. Its a power-house!In summary, a great buy at a great price (I didn't pay the full price - I found a site that sold it for about $30 cheaper, but charged $16 for shipping). It arrived in 5 days and I've been using it everyday before and after work.Enjoy!

Classic retro 50's design
Amazon Sales Rank: #32409 in Kitchen & Housewares Color: White Brand: Metrokane Model: 3502 Released on: 2004-08-16 Dimensions: 7.10" h x 7.40" w x 8.10" l, 4.35 pounds
Fun, funky, and oh-so-retro, the Mighty OJ Juicer not only makes squeezing limes, lemons, and small oranges a snap but claims a home in the Museum of Modern Art for its classic design. With durable all-metal construction, this particular model features a white baked-enamel body and a brightly polished chrome top and handle. Thanks to the rack-and-pinion gear system, up to 600 pounds of pressure are exerted on a citrus half during squeezing, so that every drop of juice is extracted from the fruit. No electricity is needed, and therefore there's no motor to burn out; the juicer is completely hand-operated. After use, the stainless-steel cone and funnel are easily removed and rinsed clean under running water. Weighing 4-1/2 pounds and standing 7-1/2 inches tall, the juicer takes up very little counter space and is covered by a lifetime warranty on moving parts. --Ann Bieri
A Rotten Juicer This dreadful little machine is too small to juice a medium to large orange. It will juice a small Valencia, but not very effectively. I would love to have my money back or even 1/2 my money back. Don't buy this "juicer." Mighty Oj Juicer We use this juicer for limes when we make margaritas - it works perfectly! Good juicer for small oranges It's true that this juicer works best with small oranges, as it won't get all the juice out of the bigger ones, and they might not even fit in the space provided to press them. But with the right size oranges, it works very well, and extract all the juice. I've been using it a lot this winter for fresh orange juice full of vitamins!

Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press
From Breville

Breville die cast commercial-style designed Citrus Press is wonderfully functional and excellently designed. It has a die-cast stainless steel juicing cone that will fit all size citrus fruit. It boasts innovative juicing action for maximum juice extraction. It also has two stainless steel filters for variable pulp control. It gleams with brushed stainless die-cast steel housing and motor body. It will be an item that will enhance any kitchen countertop.

Housed in professional-grade brushed stainless steel with an industrial strength, whisper-quiet motor, this powerful citrus press delivers fresh-squeezed juice quickly and easily. Simply press down on the soft-grip handle to activate the unit. Its revolutionary active-arm system features built-in sensors to monitor the arm position and safely activate the spinning cone as it comes in contact with the fruit. The unit's spherical fruit dome centers the fruit perfectly on the spinning cone, while two stainless-steel filters allow for variable pulp control depending on individual preferences. In addition, its die-cast stainless-steel juicing cone provides four strategically positioned multi-tiered fins. This unique Quadra-Fin technology effortlessly and efficiently juices any citrus fruit, from the smallest lime to the largest grapefruit, without the need to change cones. For added convenience, the unit's stainless-steel drip-stop juice spout can be flipped upward after juicing to stop the flow of juice and prevent any unwanted dripping or mess. The citrus press also includes a safety switching system, dust cover, cord storage, and easily removable dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. The citrus press measures 7 by 16-1/2 inches and carries a one-year warranty.
Best Citrus Juicer I've Found at this Price We just received our Breville 800CPXL Citrus Press after the holidays and have used it several times since. Compared to the low-end (and much less expensive) plastic Krupps version we replaced (which kept tripping our GFCI), I rate this product 4.5 stars out of 5. It falls just short of perfection, but is nonetheless the most elegant and functional citrus juicer I've been able to find at this price point. LIKES: 1) Beautiful die-cast design feels substantial and stays put when pressing citrus. Kudos to the industrial design team for turning a juicer into a work of art. This is by far the best looking electric citrus press on the market. 2) Brushed stainless exterior goes with any decor and looks great on countertop. No reason to store it away. 3) Removable strainer and juice basin are easy to handwash (I recommend using a small brush or toothbrush to help clean out the pulp). 4) Can press an 8-oz glass of orange juice in less than a minute and works with lemons, mandarins, oranges, and grapefruits without changing elements. AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: This juicer works well and beats others I've tried. However, there are a few areas that Breville engineers could improve in their next model. None of these recommendations should cause you to avoid purchasing this unit, but I list them here nonetheless since there's always room to improve most products: 1) Doesn't handle large grapefruit as well as I'd like. Still left some juice/pulp in the skin, which I squeezed out by hand. Breville could consider offering a larger snap-on attachment more suitably sized for pressing grapefruit. 2) Sometimes the skin of the orange remains stuck inside the top of the press, requiring manual extraction. Maybe I'm pressing too hard, but this still seems to happen from time to time. On a few occasions, I stalled the motor completely which surprised me. However, stalling the motor didn't cause the GFCI to keep tripping like the Krupps model we replaced. 3) The electrical cord is nicely designed, but a little too short. I'd prefer to see a 6' cord to reach to the nearest outlet while allowing flexibility in where to place the juicer on the countertop. 4) If you leave the juicer out on the countertop where there's a cabinet above, the handle (press) bangs against the top of the cabinet and requires a little finesse to pull it towards the edge of the countertop when you're ready to use it. The typical height between the countertop and bottom of a cabinet is 18" +/- 1" and often the face frame of the cabinet protrudes about 1/2" or so below the bottom of the cabinet underside. If Breville offered a locking position with the handle down, this wouldn't be a problem and it would be easier to slide out the juicer into position from the back of the counter. 5) The handle itself seems a little flimsy when compared to the rest of the die-cast machine. While it's functional and certainly strong enough, I would prefer a solid convex die-cast handle arm (oval cross section) versus the inverted "U" type cross section of the current design. Although the current arm does appear to be die cast, during the extraction process, juice and pulp tend to splatter on the concave underside of the handle. This makes cleaning the handle a little harder than it should if the handle cross section were convex on top and bottom. Overall, this is an excellent product with bold design and good looks. I recommend this model to anyone who wants to add freshly squeezed citrus to your daily or weekly regimen. I can't comment on the long-term reliability of the motor since we've only had the unit for a few weeks. But so far so good. Pretty Good for a While I thought this citrus juicer was very good when I got it in July of 2007. It is nicely finished in easy-to-clean stainless-steel, the lever action makes it less of a strain to get some pressure on the citrus, and it is fairly easy to clean the parts. I make about 1/2 - 1 cup of juice daily. After a couple of months, something bent or stretched or broke in the hinge mechanism, and it became a little loose. Everything kept working though. Well, the six month mark came yesteday, and it died. I juiced half of a lime, and when I put the other half in... nothing. I guess the internal switch that activates the motor when one depresses the lever failed. For $160, I would have hoped that it make to the one year mark. Who knows, maybe I can get it repaired or replaced, but I can no longer recommend this juicer without reservations. easiest to use home orange juicer I have the red-colored model(800CPXLR) of the otherwise identical juicer that I bought from Golda's Kitchen of Canada, while it was on clearance sale. It seems the red model is not available from U.S. dealers. It cost me a bit more to buy from a Canadian company because of the higher shipping cost and the currently unfavorable exchange rate, but to me the apple red color is much more visually appealing than the cold look of brushed stainless steel and was worth the extra cost. This is the highest quality consumer-grade citrus juicer on the market by a wide margin. All the parts that come into direct contact with juice are made of stainless steel and it is easy to clean. Even the cone is made of very heavy cast stainless steel, a rare feature among orange juicers. The juicer is very heavy as far as home-duty orange juicers go, on account of the heavy 110W motor and heavy cast metal components. The heft definitely spells quality. The 110W motor has plenty of power. It comes with 2 strainers, coarse and fine, but this is clearly a low pulp machine. The coarse strainer will pass through a moderate amount of pulp; the fine will pass through almost none. Folks who desire high pulp from this juicer will likely have to scrape up some pulp from the strainer with a spoon and add it to their cups. This is by far the easiest and fastest orange juicer I've ever used. Center a half orange on the cone and press the lever moderately hard and the pulp will be extracted cleanly from the orange. However, getting wet pulp off the orange is only half the battle. The other half of the battle is to extract juice from the wet pulp mesh using the strainer basket. For this machine, it does the first part with lightning efficiency, but on the second part it only does an average job. The overall result is that the total juice extraction rate is good, but not superb, because it does leave behind a considerable amount of very wet pulp in the strainer basket. The pulp has the consistency of wet apple sauce and I usually eat the tasty pulp after I finish drinking the juice. In comparison, very expensive commercial orange juicers ($600 and up) typically have a sieve spinning at 1500 rpm or so to extract every possible drop of juice from the wet pulp to give 15% to 20% more juice than home juicers. The missing spin feature is the only major design feature lacking that I really wish it had, but then the spin extraction feature is rarely found on consumer-grade machines. Another minor flaw is that the upper mold that fits on the cone is held loosely in the lever arm by a flimsy hard plastic snap ring. Daily removal of the upper piece will most likely wear off the snap ring's friction in short order. For this reason, it may be wiser to just wipe the upper piece clean after each juicing session instead of popping it out for washing, but it is held so loosely that wiping it softly is enough to make it pop out from the arm. In this price range, this is the best orange juicer I have seen yet.

A Triumph of Engineering for Real Life Use If you accept that a masticating juicer gives better quality juice than a centrifical, but you do not want a heavy, awkward machine that takes a long time to set up and longer to clean, then this is a great choice. Omega hit the sweet spot with this product. It is light, relatively small, quiet, and cleans rather quickly (the mesh screen is small and does not seem to hold on to the food), while producing fine juice from a variety of plants. (Impressive on celery and spinach; quite good enough on carrots) The result is a masticating juicer that actually gets used, rather than a (perhaps) theoretically superior juicer that is just too much of a hassle to take out. I have a 31 year-old Champion which I really like; I just never use it except when I am fasting, and sometimes not even then. One thing should be mentioned. Many single gear juicer ads boast that a slow-turning auger damages the juice less than, say, a Champion because its fast rotation heats the juice and deactivates enzymes and other molecules. Truth is, when I run cold carrots through a Champion, I get cold carrot juice; when I run cold carrots through an Omega 8005, the juice is not warm, but it is definitely not cold. Clearly, if there is less rotation, then the heavy mechanical compression at a certain point produces heat to a greater extent than Champion's rapid rotation does. (I have read one review of another single auger juicer that said its juiced carrots actually came out hot.) Personally, I do not think either type machine actually hurts the juice's chemistry, but Champion should call its single auger competititors on their deceptive claim. Summary: If you want knock-your-socks off cold carrot juice, get a Champion (although the Omega will still give you a carrot juice high, and, for all I know, its juice will taste just as good if you chill it). If you want bragging rights about the amount of nutrients in your juice, get a Green machine (at almost twice the price, twice the weight, and a long time to clean up). If you want a juicer that probably gives better quality and variety of juices than a centrifical juicer with less noise and no greater cleanup time, get this one. You will actually use it even if you don't have the counter space for it. Nice juice, easy to use, easy to clean, durable This is my first juicer. I love it. It came without directions, but was easy to figure out. (Omega promptly responded to my email and sent the directions.) It makes great juice. Tastes great, nice consistency, gives a raw food "jolt." I do not notice any change in temperature at all. I get cold in, cold out; room temperature in, room temperature out. So easy to clean, which makes it easy to use. Seeing what happens to whole carrots makes me respect the power of that motor and auger! I got a hand press juicer for citrus, because it was a hassle to peel oranges before juicing them in the Omega, and oranges are way too bitter and acidic when juiced with the rinds. Leafy veggies juice very well in the Omega. What has not juiced well are pomegranites (because I sent a bunch of rind through and it's too much hassle to separate out the seeds; I also got juice all over cutting up the fruit), bananas and figs (both are all pulp). Melon, apple, pears, carrots, celery, lettuce, kale, spinach, parsley, bok choy, garlic all juice very well. I let it send the pulp into the sink and send it down the garbage disposal when I am done juicing. The included "toothbrush" is helpful for cleaning the tiny screens. It can make applesauce and peanut butter, but the peanuts have to be shelled, so I only tried that once. I am very, very happy with it and use it every day. It juices as fast as I can cut things up for it. Note - After a year of almost daily use, I still love it. July '08 update - I do not use it daily any more; a few times a week now. I still love it, no problems, easy to use, even for just a bit of ginger juice (for a half gallon of lemonade), still easy to clean. Consider a VitaMix, too. Maybe buy both and keep one. (I don't have a VitaMix yet, but it is on my wish list.) I purchased an Omega 8005 I purchased an Omega 8005 Juicer and am well pleased with it. There is usually very little heat generated (which results in destroying enzymes and causing the juice to spoil faster) and its very easy to clean after use. It compares well with masticating juicers (including my Champion) and I rate it (on a scale of 1 to 5 stars-with 5 stars being the best) a 4 and the only reason I don't rate it a 5 is because I also own a Norwalk Juicer (Caddilac of Juicers-retails approximately $2000.00) which is in a class by itself. Thumbs up for Omega!

Sleek and sophisticated in its brushed stainless-steel and polycarbonate housing, this 850-watt juice extractor features two speed options--low speed for juicing soft fruits and vegetables and high speed for more textured fruits and vegetables. The unit's 3-inch-wide feed chute accommodates large pieces, while its 32-ounce capacity allows for making healthy vitamin-rich drinks for the whole family, whether it's juice made from fruits like apples and oranges or vegetables like carrots, celery, and beets. The pulp of the fruits and vegetables, which can be used for soups, sauces, jams, and desserts, automatically empties into its own easy-to-remove pulp collector during the juicing process. The detachable parts are dishwasher-safe and to clean the exterior, simply wipe down with a soft damp cloth. The juice extractor measures 10-1/2 by 8 by 13-3/4 inches and carries a five-year limited motor warranty. Editor's note: This is a reconditioned small appliance. Reconditioned generally means that the appliance has been returned to the manufacturer, who returns the appliance to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes.
Good Juice, Large Juicer, Noisy This is the first juicer I have owned. I have used juicers at my friend's homes so I had an idea of what I was looking for when I purchased this. First off since this was refurbished I was nervous especially after reading reviews of other brands of refurbished juicers. I fully inspected the juicer besides a few blemishes internally the juicer looks new. the box does say refurbished in big letters just to be aware if you are giving this as a gift. The juicer is large. Larger then any other appliance I have on my countertop. Luckily Ihave alot of counterspace in my kitchen. I wanted to be able to leave the juicer out because if it is tucked away in the pantry I am less likely to use it daily. The juicer looks great with my other stainless small and large appliances so though it is large taking up about twice the counterspace as a kitchenaid mixer it looks fine sitting out. One of the reasons I got this is I just like my kids am not a big veggie eater besides the regular corns peas and potatos. I thought I could sneak more vegies into my kids diet and mine. There are some rules according to the manufacter unlkike the desciption about what and how to juice. You do have to peel citrus fruits, and certain fruits like large apples have to be cut up. The speed you juice on depends on how hard/soft the fruit/veggie is. High speed for apples, pears ,carrots etc and low speed for citrus, spinach etc. I started by juicing a one large apple, one pear and one carrot. I got about 12 oz of juice from this combo which I was pleased with. It was very sweet so I could have hidden more veggies but I was happy to see me daughter drink the carrot without complaint. I have found if you are trying to add vegies without the veggie taste as long as you have an apple or pear base it should be sweet enough to take away any of the bitter veggie taste. I have found a few cons. The unit is a little hard to snap back togther after cleaning, with the hardest part to reassemble being the pulp catcher. if the container that catches the pulp is not snapped on tight then teh juicer will not turn on. The unit is easy to clean except for the filter. I have not found any easy way to clean the filter yet. The juicer is noisy. This is the biggest con for me. Ihave an autistic child and I have bought more expensive dishwasher, vacuums and washing machine because the noise bothers my child. This juicer is the loudest appliance I own. If I have all the ingredients ready to go juicing takes less then a minute . I try and juice right after my child goes to school. Overall I am happy with the purchase considering the price and quality. I would purchase again at the price I paid. Just wish the unit were a little smaller, less noisy and had an easier filter to clean. A Steal at $49.99 I hate to sound like all the other reviews, but beware of the size of this juicer. That said, this unit is a steal for $49.99 (Friday Sale). If I paid the $200 that this unit goes for new (not refurbished) I don't think I'd be nearly as happy. Although this unit takes up a lot of counter space, it's size means it's good for power and ability to make lots of juice quickly. The Waring is well designed and has a chute large enough for most needs. Unlike another review here, I have had no issues taking the unit apart or putting it back together. Overall I'd highly recommend this Waring if you don't mind it taking up a lot of counter space. And although it is a bit noisy, it's no worse than running a blender. One caveat for those of you making carrot juice, if you juice the carrots on the high setting, the juice comes out all frothy and gritty. If you use the low setting with carrots you'll be just fine. Great buy, no regrets This is my second juicer been using it for three months and its a great buy. I have a small kitchen in a one bedroom and yes it does take up more counter space than the average juicer but I did not want an average juicer I wanted an above average juicer and if you do too, then this gives bang for the buck than many of those costing above $200 bucks. I agree its no noiser than a blender and its a handsome piece of machinery. No regrets. yeah I wish cleaning the basket was easier but which juicer permits this?? Go for it.

Truly the Acme Acme juicers are made by Waring now as they have been for the past twenty years or so. One can buy the identical juicer as the Waring Commercial, so price shopping may prove fruitful. I'll state that I've used Acme juicers for 30 years and the one I own now I've had for a number of years. The design hasn't changed, though, and my juicer uses the same supplies and parts. Though the Acme appears quite similar to the Omega 1000/9000 series, there is one important design difference. If you look at the photo of the Acme you will see there are no moving arms on either side to hold the lid down. Apparently these arms are an Achilles' heel for Omega owners, breaking over time. The Acme uses no arms. The lid is placed on top of the bowl, then a short twist locks the lid to the side arms. No hanging, moving parts to break, and it's extremely quick and easy and secure. I'm sure when the guys breaking away from Acme decided to essentially copy the Acme design they couldn't take this with them, so they went with breakable arms. I can only say that after thousands of openings and closings with my Acme, the lid is as secure and workable as it was when new. As can be seen, this isn't one of the so-popular pulp ejectors with the slanted slotted basket to throw pulp out. Upon opening the lid and looking inside, the sheer size of the straight-sided pulp catcher is impressive after looking at so many little slanted baskets. The pulp catcher is large enough to easily accommodate my man's hand for cleaning. And, of course, the outer stainless steel container is even larger. Because those of us who do serious juicing know that periodically the cutting blades will dull and need replacement, the cutting blades are on a very heavy stainless weighted disc, separate. At this time the cost is around $30 to replace this heavy cutting disc; full-sized Omegas and Acmes use the same disc. And, of course, the big juice bar commercial juicers also feature replaceable cutting discs. There is a large threaded shaft coming up from the motor in the middle. A large, easily-handled knob with built-in spring clutch threads on the shaft after dropping the heavy cutting disc on the shaft. Alignment of the cutting disc is automatic, no fiddling required. Total assembly of the stainless steel basket, outer container, cutting disc and lid is extremely easy and fast compared to so many newer generation juicers. Just a classic design that truly hasn't been improved. This is a massive and heavy appliance and it sets on a dozen or so rubber feet; in years I've never known the thing to walk an inch. These big rubber feet (some are visible in the photo) dampen vibration perfectly. Upon turning the machine on, the noise level is quite low compared to so many juicers, rather a low, whooshing noise. The basket spins at 60rpm/second. This may not be as fast as some machines, but one must remember the large diameter of the pulp basket. It gains speed quickly in a few seconds is at operating speed. I'm not going to jam produce into any juicer like some of those idiots on infomercials, and this juicer easily takes care of firm vegetables. The best method for leafy greens is to roll them up into a roll or a ball to give sufficient firmness for the cutting disc. No, this juicer doesn't extract the same amount of juice for leafy greens. Buy a masticator if you want primarily those. After use, it does take a half minute or so for the basket to slowly return to idle. I will say this juicer will easily produce a couple of 16-ounce glasses of carrot/beet/celery type juice before requiring cleaning of the pulp container. And boy, is it dry! Can't squeeze a drop out. I keep reading how much harder this basket is to clean than pulp ejectors. Not in my opinion. Because of its great size, I can easily reach inside. Not only that, because it isn't slanted on the circumference, pulp somehow doesn't get a grip. I never have to use a brush on this basket, just running water and my hand. I know this review is long, but there isn't a lot of publicity about a juicer that was one of the bedrocks of juicing, and still should be. Unlike so many of these little foreign-made machines selling like hotcakes now, this juicer will be around for your grandchildren--and parts are still completely available. Hope this helps those considering--and compare the lid lock with Omega! Wonderful Juicer The 6001 makes fantastic quality juice, without the pulp. I can't stand much pulp, nor can I stand fruits & veggies in general. It can make about 16-24 oz of juice before you have to change the filter. The filters are not 100% mandatory, but if you don't use them, your cleanup time triples easily. So use them. I have a routine in the morning where I can assemble, juice, and clean in about 18-20 minutes. That gives me about 16oz or so of the best quality juice you can imagine. Keep in mind - filters make easy cleanup, keep your fruit/veggies in the fridge overnight before juicing (keeps the blade temp down which prevents the death of the good stuff in your produce before you drink it), and cleanup should happen pretty much right after you juice, or it gets harder to clean. The 5001 has some plastic, and I prefer all stainless-steel, so that is why I got the 6001. No stains long term with the all stainless product. If you hate eating your fruits & vegetables, then this product is probably one of the best ways to get essential living nutrients in 20 minutes per day. Fantastic juicer! This juicer does a wonderful job separating juice from pulp! It will quickly and efficiently juice carrots, radishes, beets, pineapple, apple, strawberries, kiwi, celery, etc. Pros: Quickly turns fruit and veggies into juice, relatively quiet, simple to clean when using a filter, many very good recipes available online. Cons: Can only make about 2 pints before the filter should be changed, can be difficult to clean if you do not use a filter.

From Waring

Waring JEX328 Pro Juice Extractor

Great juicer for the price My understanding is that there are basically 3 types of juicers:- Masticating - like a Champion Juicer- Centrifugal - like this one- Citrus only typesMasticating juicers are generally thought of as the best type, but they are more expensive - around $$. If money is no object, a Champion Juicer is probably the way to go.But, since money was an object for me, I got this one. We have used it almost everyday for about 6 months with great results. The primary thing that we juice is carrots - usually about 20 large carrots each day, and it handles these carrots with no problems. I am very satisfied with this juicer, and I would buy it again.A few other notes - Noise. I do find it moderately noisy, but it's so fast that I'm done juicing before it bugs me or anyone in the house.Cleaning. There are five parts to clean - the lid, the strainer, the pulp collector, the juice collector (looks like a stainless steel cup), and the pusher. The pusher, the lid, and the juice collector are a breeze to clean - about 15 seconds each. The pulp collector is fairly easy to clean (it detaches) but it does have a few small areas which the enclosed brush helps to clean - takes about 1 minute. The strainer is hard to clean without a brush. The brush that comes with is very small, maybe too small for daily use cleaning the strainer, but if you get a larger kitchen brush, the strainer cleans easily - about 1 minute. All together, around 3 minutes to clean.Other minor notes. The juicer has rubber nobs on the bottom, so it doesn't move on the counter when it's running, which is nice. The juice collector (cup) does move a little sometimes when juicing, so you have to keep an eye on it so it doesn't slip off. The pulp collector does fill after about 10 large carrots, but it's easy enough to take the lid off, dump the pulp, and start again - takes about 10 seconds.All in all, a great juicer for the price! My First Juicer This juicer has performed very well. I like the stainless steel cup (no juice stains). The motor very powerful (400 amps) and is holding up well; I've juiced lot's of fruits and veggies so far. The strainer is a snap to clean (I recommend you use an old tooth-brush instead of the brush they give you). Cleaning the pulp after use is also a snap. Cucumbers, apples, and pears go through very easily. Red beets take a little work. Carrots are easy, but make up the majority of the pulp. Also, too many carrots will clog up the pores in the strainer (so be careful) Romain lettuce and parsley are a little tricky. I recommend folding and juicing it first, then any fruits later. I tried cabbage; big mistake (it stinks). And, do not mix grapefruit with any veggie juice (the high acid with veggie juice tastes aweful after a few days in the fridge and is just bearable fresh).Overall, and excellent addition to my lifestyle. Don't let the low price fool you--this is a great juicer! Smart shopper that I am, I checked out all the reviews of various juicing products that I could find before zeroing in on this one. After all my research, I decided that this one seemed to be the best value and most useful version on the market, and--crossing my fingers--I ordered it. WHAT A GREAT BUY.Things I was worried about before purchasing included noise (I have 2 small children, and I don't relish the notion of waking and/or frightening them every time I get a hankering for fresh juice), size (our family of 4 shares a compact 1-bedroom apartment with limited kitchen space), and ease of cleaning (we have no dishwasher and a microscopic sink--just large enough to wash up the dinner dishes, one plate at a time!) Having been exposed to various models and types of juicers in the past while working for families that practically considered juicing a religious pursuit, I knew how complex and cumbersome these beauties can be. Therefore, I was prepared to be disappointed by a loud, messy, difficult-to-operate monstrosity, if that turned out to be the case. I am QUITE pleasantly surprised by this product, for the aforementioned and similar reasons. Unlike other juicers I have seen, it is compact, relatively easy to disassemble/clean/reassemble, and makes remarkably little noise for the work it does. I made today's batch of apple-celery-carrot juice while my 7-month-old was napping in the next room and had the juicer cleaned, dried, and ready to go again before the juice had all been drunk. That's a considerable compliment, since the juice was DELICIOUS and disappeared in a heartbeat!So far, I can come up with nothing negative to say about the Waring Health Juice Extractor, but if I think of something, I'll be sure to share the news. In the meantime, I'll be busy dreaming up new concoctions to make in my cool new juicer and admiring the statement this silver-and-onyx treasure makes on my kitchen counter! Two thumbs up!

If only I could read the volume markings... I squint and squint, but even with reading glasses and good light, I'm pretty much forced to have to pour the juice out into another measuring cup to see if I've squeezed the amount the recipe calls for. And yes, as someone else mentioned, an occasional seed falls through. Other than that, I find this a breeze to use, it's easy on the wrist and all in all makes a very useful addition to my kitchen gadgetry. And I like that it comes in three pieces...makes cleaning so easy. Simple and sturdy No complaints here - this juicer does a great job with lemons, limes and oranges. Larger grapefruits may be a bit of a challenge, but I haven't actually tried one either. The two sided part is handy and I do agree that the holes that strain the juice are generous, but I rarely get a seed in the cup and if they were smaller I think they'd clog with pulp. The grippy bottom is nice so it doesn't scoot all over the counter while you're using it. Finally, it's solid enough that I'd have to really work to break it - a real plus in my kitchen! Lemon squeezer OXO It is an in adequate design. Easy to clean in the dishwasher is the only positive about it. It takes assembling three sections to use. I would live with one size borer and have it fixed in place instead of fiddling with the reversible bore, and lining up and inserting the little tab in place. The shape is awkward. The holes below the borer are too big, so you have the seeds falling into the juice which is another step for getting them out. I like the old fashioned ones with a flat cup and a lid and tiny holes so the juice is filtered. I would not buy it again, and I am still looking for the easy and practical old style lemon squeezer. If I find it, this one is getting thrown out.

Best design for a manual juicer I bought this juicer after trying an orangex juicer that broke on the 4th orange I put through it. My Hamilton-Beach juicer has lasted through a whole bag now, so here's the scoop: Good things: 1) Rack & pinion action effectively transfers the applied force to the squeezer. There's no off-axis force so you don't have to worry about the whole darn thing tipping over when you bear down. 2) Gratifyingly simple to disassemble and clean. 3) The metal grate's edges are machined smooth - - no worries about getting cut (one of the problems I had with the orangex product). 4) When you remove your juice glass, a drip cup swings into place to keep residual juice drippings off your countertop. That is a very user-friendly design element. 5) The mechanism does a good job of extracting all of the juice. 6) The resulting juice did not have any hint of strong citrus oil. Other things: For a product that bills itself as "professional grade", it seems like it could be easy to overpower & break something if you 'hang on the lever'. I would not be too overzealous about squeezing the last drops if dealing with a grapefruit or a really big orange, for fear of breaking something. But for lemons, limes, and standard size oranges it seems just fine. While the unit doesn't weigh very much, it's pretty tall -- about 20" in its fully-down, storage position -- so storage may be an issue for some. Overall: I'm glad I got this one. this is the one! I tried some cheaper pressure juicers like arcosteel and typhoon. Although these two got the idea, they were far away from jucing oranges (they can do lemons and limes OK). Thyphoon got some design issues though. Hamilton Beach is good for small and mid-size oranges (haven't tried large orange or grapefruit yet). It has enough power and capacity to get all the juice out. I can get one glass of juice from two oranges whereas it took three oranges with arcosteel and more with typhoon. HB has larger and stronger pressure cup that gets the job done. The strainer has little round holes all over the place so juice finds its way down. Others had fewer but larger holes which allowed the white stuff inside the orange get into the juice but also smashed the orange against nonperforated surface. HB's strainer holds the pulp stuck inside wall which can be later scraped and put bak into the juice or discarded. It is not the intention to callect pulp this way probably but I usually scrape it and put it back to the juice for extra fiber. I also noticed that juice is sweeter because there is lees skin oil. With others, there was more oil and that made the juice taste bitter. I guess it is related with the number of holes being more in HB. Therefore, there is less pressure on the skin. It is easy to clean. You need to line up the groves and edges to disasemble. Drip collection cup works like charm. Everytime I squees oranes with HB, it think about what I read once from another review "juice galore". If you tried others, you will like this one. I didn't give 5 stars because it is not perfect (1- squeezing arm stands in lower angle at the time of squeeze, not an efficient angle to use your muscles efficiently if it sit on a normal height countertop, 2- it may not have the same efficiency with larger oranges and grapefruits, and 3- it is kind of expensive but thanks to Amazon.com I got a very good deal). Hope this review helps. Very simple but effective The juicer works well and the other reviewers have got it right. I just wanted to add two observations to buyers. First, the juicer is very tall so it doesn't fit underneath you kitchen cabinets. Second, there is a limit to the size of the fruit you can juice. The only oranges I could find at first where large eating oranges and although they could be juiced not all of the orange was juiced. When I started using valencia oranges which are smaller and tangerines it completely juices the fruit.

Powerful Yet Cumbersome Pros: - Powerful juicer - Comes with its own cleaning tools Cons: - Many parts that needs to be cleaned each time you use it - Assembly is a bit cumbersome - Loud Juicers would be more practical if you have to make a lot of juice each time you use it. Just need to store the juice in the ref. Otherwise, if you only need to make a couple of glasses, all the hassle maybe not worth it. You have to assemble the equipment, then you have to clean it and store it back to its place in the shelves. Some parts of this juicer are also sharp and you must be careful handling them. Recommended: Yes (with some trepidation) Nothing But Trouble I'd think twice, maybe three or four times before purchasing this item. I was so excited to get this, but I had trouble from the start. I anxiously followed directions, started the blender, let it run for the appropriate amount of time and put in a carrot. It wouldn't even juice a carrot! The carrot just kept bouncing around on the blade. This with just easy pressure, as instructed. When I tried to apply greater pressure, the carrot got stuck in the blade. I called their service department, and the guy told me I was supposed to use more than one carrot. So much for customer service. I ended up having to cut my veggies into small pieces to get it to work at all. If you put one chunk too many, they all stick to the shredder. It's nothing but trouble. The amount of food wasted is awful. I have whole chunks of fruits and vegetables in a huge pile of wasted pulp. It doesn't even juice leafy greens or parsley. Just chops them and they go into the pulp pile. Don't waste your money on this item!!!! I am now in the market for a new juicer....one that actually works. Not worth the time or money to get one Have had this juicer for 3 years now am on the 2nd motor. This one has not been used but 5 or 6 times and stopped. Had to buy the replacement came from China took a good month to get it. Am not going to replace it this time going to toss it in trash. Like I say do not waste your time getting one

Best Value Juicer I read the reviews on this juicer and wondered why some gave rave reviews and others gave this juicer rotten reviews. Since most of the reviews were positive, I decided to take a chance and buy it. I'm glad I did. The Decision - Out of all the top reviewed juicers on Amazon, Epinion, Best-Juicer-Reviews, and ConsumerSearch, this had the longest warranty (1 yr), highest horsepower motor (1.1 hp) and lowest price ($69). All of the top rated juicers have wide mouths (3+ in) and are dishwasher safe. This is why I bought it. The juicers I looked at were Breville BJE 200XL, 800 JEXL, BJE 510XL, Jack Lalanne power juicer and Hamilton Beach 67650. The Good - It juices fast, it is easy to clean (5 min by hand, no dishwasher), and is inexpensive. Most of all, it saves me time. I could eat fast food (no more cooking and cleaning as this is dishwasher safe) without having to eat fattening drive-thru food. It is fast and nutritious. The Bad - It is not cheap to operate because you waste a lot of food in the pulp, especially if you make juice from soft fruits and vegetables. If you are making juice from hard stuff, it will be very efficient. The pulp will be a fine, moist dust. There is very little waste. However, if you are making juice from soft fruit, it will make a lot of soft, mushy wasted pulp. This juicer is perfect for hard stuff like carrots and broccoli stems. For soft stuff like watermelon and spinach leaves, I'll use my blender instead. Or, you could try re-juicing the pulp to extract more juice out of it. Or you could do what I do to avoid wasting the juicy pulp: I feed my dog the pulp. The Conclusion - The faults with this juicer are not faults with this particular model, but a fault with all centrifugal juicers (spinning knife blade used to juice). A masticulating juicer would produce less waste but would be much slower to operate. It takes a much longer time to make a cup of juice with a masticulating (grinding gears) juicer. A citrus juicer makes citrus juice only. A perfectionist or very frugal person would probably opt for less wet pulp waste by buying a masticulating juicer such as an Omega 8005. A person with a busy lifestyle would probably prefer a fast juicer that is easy to clean like this one. A person who drinks citrus juice a lot would probably buy a citrus juicer. If you are making wheat grass juice, then buy a wheat grass juicer. Depending on what you need, you may get a different juicer. However, for the price, it is impossible to get a better general purpose juicer. I will re-review this juicer in a year to give a report on it's durability. Good juicer I did quite a bit of research before I bought this juicer. This is my first juicer & I must say I'm pretty happy with it. Here are my quick list of pros & cons - PROS: ---- 1.) Very easy to assemble out of the box & even easier to operate 2.) Get very good quantities of juice 3.) Powerful motor & easy to handle, where I am able to shove in whole apples, carrots, oranges etc 4.) Not too much hassle to clean the juicer. CONS: ----- 1.) Would have liked if the juice collector jar was bigger 2.) Taking out the blade from the juicer takes a li'l practice - not very easy. All in all - i think i would have given this 5 stars if I didn't have the 2 minor cons as listed above. I love fresh juice & thats why I love this juicer. Does its job well !! Terrific for the money! As there are no other reviews and selecting juicers can be confusing, I thought I'd offer some feedback. My 1.1 HP Hamilton Beach 67650 just arrived and I'm thrilled. It even juices ginger, which isn't an easy job for any juicer. My budget was very limited for this purchase, but I didn't want to compromise on quality. With this machine, I feel I got the equivalent of a juicer priced several times the price. More power than the $200 and up machines I was considering.

Orange-X Professional Juicer

Orange-X Professional Juicer
From Orange-X

Made from cast iron and stainless steel with 2300 PSI (pounds per square inch) of force everyone in the family can have freshly squeezed juice at the drop of a lever. Removable parts are dishwasher safe.

Mid-Size and Large Orange-X Juicers compared
I have owned a large Orange-X juicer for two winters, and I recently bought a mid-size juicer as a gift. I am the author of the "Best juicer, April 8, 2001" review for the large Orange-X. My Orange-X has withstood the test of time as a daily habit during orange season. Think how many kitchen appliances gather dust next to the rowing machine; daily use is the ultimate testimonial. The habit I've settled on is to rotate a bowl of several varieties of citrus into the fridge for the next glass, and squeeze one glass at a time. Cleanup is easy enough, and "just-squeezed" (as opposed to yesterday's juice in a bottle) tastes good enough, that this habit sticks.

Setting the two units next to each other, I can make some comparisons.

First, every unit has a unique personality, and some units can only fairly be classified as defective. I looked at four mid-sized units before accepting one, rejecting two as defective, and the one I accepted has definite quirks. (Hey, so do I!) This is a brilliant design, but we're not talking BMW quality control at the factory. For now, this is hands down the best lever juicer on the market, but the principle of applying leverage during a stroke can't be patentable, someone will get around the Orange-X patents with better manufacturing quality, and Orange-X will be history.

What to look for, examining a unit for defects? The base should sit squarely on the counter, not warped so only three feet touch as a time. The various assembly parts should line up vertically on the pole, so the squeezing action is "on center". The lever arm should reach a bit past vertical, so it won't come down by surprise onto your fingers. Watch the lever action very carefully. It should impress you with its beauty, not look "all twisty", and maximum leverage should occur near the very end of the stroke; too soon is a quirk.

It is obvious, mail-ordering from Amazon, that you will be studying your unit more carefully than anyone before you. You have to admire Amazon for not deleting this post. In my extensive experience with Amazon, they are dedicated to keeping satisfied customers.

Now, the differences between the sizes: Price. Weight, 16 lbs -vs- 19 lbs. Height in rest position, 16" -vs- 18 1/2". Height of handle at top of stroke, 28 3/4" -vs- 31 1/2". Maximum glass height, 4 13/16" -vs- 6 1/8". Same stroke length, 3 7/8". Same strainer basket.

In other words, the two sizes should be virtually identical in function, with the mid-size a bit less unwieldly, and an easier reach if you don't play basketball. A "jam jar" tumbler will only fit directly under the large, but most pint measuring cups fit fine under the mid-size, as do many glasses.

On the other hand, if you can put up with the price, height, and weight of the large, and you're tall enough, it may be the way to go. In some intangible way the design feels more fully expressed in the large, but the mid-size works just fine.

I found my large handles grapefruit easily, but needs a rubber shim for thin-skinned citrus. Not mashing bitter oils from the peel is an intentional design feature of the Orange-X, but the spacing is fixed, and can only be adjusted by shimming with rubber Mason jar gaskets under the strainer basket, which I sometimes do. The particular mid-size I tested requires more effort to squeeze a grapefruit, but handles thin-skinned oranges better. I believe this to be the individual personalities of the units, not a generalization that applies to mid-size -vs- large, but, heh, who knows?

Not great for lemons
I bought this juicer for home use on the basis of good Amazon reviews--but only to juice lemons and limes and this review only addresses these fruits. If I didn't use a Waring twist juicer at work, I wouldn't have recognized the difference. It turns out the twist juicer definitely extracts more juice from a lemon--it breaks all the membrane and just leaves the shell--virtually dry. The press method squashes the lemon--there is still quite a bit of juice left, which I end up squezzing by hand. Also the head on the orange x is larger than the twist juicer, which may be fine for an orange, but is too large to apply equal pressure for a lemon--much less for a lime. I always end up having to reposition the lemon and press again. I e-mailed orange x before buying the juicer to ask them specifically about this--they never replied but I went ahead and bought it anyway. It looks great on the counter, and is easy to clean (but then, so is the twist juicer at work). So, think again if your main juicing needs are for lemons/limes. My three stars are only because of its disappointing performance for these fruits. It is called ORANGE x afterall!

Fresh OJ in Boston? Orange-X makes it possible.
I have only good things to say about my Orange-X. This review technically refers to the white version, not the silver, but since only the color is different, it shouldn't matter. I am currently a college student in Boston, who hadn't had a decent glass of orange juice in three years (other than summer and spring breaks) since I left my home in Florida. This all changed once my Orange-X arrived. It may be difficult to find fresh squeezed juice in grocery stores, but it certainly isn't hard to find oranges (better yet, take them from the dining hall for free). The Orange-X is simple to use--cut the fruit in half, place it on juicer, pull the handle, and you have juice. I also find it the easiest to clean of any of the juicers I've ever used. The funnel and strainer are stainless steel and lift right out. I suppose they are machine washable, but a quick rinse under the sink with a sponge does the trick. I haven't owned the Orange-X as long as the first reviewer has, but I find it hard to believe that it can develop a crack in the base. The juicer is incredibly solid (all cast iron except the funnel and strainer), and I don't see how it is possible unless it was dropped out of an 18th floor apartment window. Perhaps a moving train might dent it, but I'd be more worried about the train being derailed. Basically, the Orange-X has exceeded my expectations, and I enjoy beginning my day with fresh squeezed OJ, and having my homemade lemonade in the afternoons. Even during a Noreaster, I can imagine myself back home, while sipping delicious juice in the comfort of my well-heated room.

good juicer for a great price
The Omega 9000 juicer is a good juicer.

I've had an Acme 6001 for years and it has served me well. When it was time for a new juicer, I bought the Breville since it was such a "hot item".

Big mistake! Unless you want it to "keep up with the Joneses" and think having a big shiny juicer in your kitchen is more about prestige and less about health, then the Breville is for you.

Back to the Omega. The Omega 9000 makes pulp feel like a shirt. It's pretty dry.

Big up to Amazon & HealthNut for it's speedy pick up of the Breville and quick delivery of the Omega (2 days), which is actually well-designed and has good yield.

Now for the cons: carrot residue sticks to the bottom and along the periphery of the basket which goes inside the bowl. It took me a long time to scrub off. Maybe a filter will help, but I never had that problem with the Acme and it was built many moons ago in the 90's. If it wasn't for that design flaw, I'd give it another star.

One last thing. Make sure you process the fruit & vegetables in the right order. For some reason, if you put, say, cucumber and parsley first, before the carrot, the juicer will flip out and do a dance on the counter. I experienced this w/ the Acme as well. So go slow at first & read the tips about what to process first & how.

Cheers.

THIS IS THE ONE
I'm amazed that there aren't hundreds of five-star reviews for this item. I shopped for a juicer for MONTHS, literally. After painstaking research - including reading dozens of reviews like this one, and looking at Consumer Reports - I finally decided on the Omega 9000. I wanted the model in black, but shopped at several different websites and couldn't find a black one. So I settled for the white model. That's the only negative comment I can make about the entire transaction. Not only is the juicer easy to use and compact (despite what another Amazon reviewer says, it's much smaller than comparable machines), it's also backed with a 15-year warranty and excellent service. I had a question in my first week of using the Omega and called the number on the instruction booklet: no recorded message, just a friendly, helpful person. As far as the actual operation/performance of the machine, I couldn't be happier. All stainless steel, it's beautiful and sturdy, and built to last that way. A centrifugal machine, it definitely gets all the juice out of the fruits and vegetables. And with the filters (a great value) clean-up takes less than five minutes. Stop looking. This is the one you want. You'll enjoy fresh juice for (at least) the next fifteen years...

Dissappointed and Frustrated
I purchased my Omega 9000 after doing some research. Well I turned on my juicer and it did a dance and it's very loud. Even after I turn off the juicer it still was running so I unplugged it still going. I was told it will stay on for a minute after use. I paid $230, I thought it was alittle too high, and you know the old saying, "you get what you pay for" Well Not In this purchase! I start to break it down for cleaning. Wow what a challenge! It took 15 minutes to break it down didn't come with instruction as it said it did, and just to remove the pulp and 20 plus minutes to wash the 7 pieces and if you're in a rush and don't have the convenience of a dish washer OH WELL, your sol*********. I wanted to return it and I was told no refund. Now had I knew that I wouldn't have waisted my time with omega -9000. I don't know what I will do with this piece of waiste, I'm afraid to give it to anyone because if I don't want it, how can I give it to some one else. I really want my money back! I'll go back to Mr. Juicer it was cheap and maintenance free. I gave my daughter mine Mr. Juicer due to the fact she was fighting Cancer she's better now but I'm not.

With the ability to juice an 8-ounce glass of juice in five seconds, this 850-watt professional juice extractor features a powerful computer-controlled 14,000 rpm motor, which easily maintains the selected speed when juicing under heavy loads. Its Italian stainless-steel, micro-mesh filter separates the juice from the fiber and seeds of the fruit and vegetables so that maximum juice is extracted. To cut out all preparation time required for juicing, the unit's unique, extra-wide, centrifugal feed chute allows for whole fruits and vegetables to be added without the need for chopping them into pieces first. The juicer's two-speed electronic control offers low speed for juicing soft fruits and vegetables and high speed for more textured fruits and vegetables. For quick, easy clean up, all the juicer's parts are dishwasher safe except for the motor, and for added convenience, a disposable plastic bag can be used to line the large pulp container and then thrown away when finished. A 1-liter juice jug with a froth separator and a large-capacity, 2-1/2-liter, easy-to-clean, removable pulp container are included. This is a factory-reconditioned juicer which includes a 90-day manufacturer's warranty. Always make sure the Juice Fountain is properly and completely assembled before operating. As a safety mechanism, the unit will not turn “On” unless properly assembled. Always turn the Juice Fountain “On” to the low or high setting before adding any vegetables or fruits with the food pusher. The motor of the machine must be completely running to ensure proper and full use.

Great for speedy juicing but uses a *lot* of veggies and fruits!
This reconditioned juicer works well and provides a speedy glass of juice in seconds. It's got a satin nickel finish which also looks good on my countertop. It has few parts and all are easily detached and can be cleaned in the dishwasher top rack. You can also line the pulp catcher with a plastic grocery bag to catch all the pulp and then throw it away. The feed chute is fairly large and you can put a whole decent sized tomato or a small apple down it pretty easily. So it saves you chopping time. This juicer has 2 speeds - slow for softer fruits and veggies and high for harder veggies. The italian wire mesh spins at a very high rate and vegetable turn to juice and fine pulp in seconds. You are not supposed to run this juicer more than 3-4 minutes at a stretch but that's ok as it is so fast that in 3 minutes you could probably get through several pounds of veggies. As a juicer it is fantastic, you can even put peeled oranges and tangerines down it and get frothy orange juice in seconds. I even made my own combinations. Ever tried cabbage, carrots and oranges together? It was pretty neat and tasted good!

However despite all the fun I had making several juice mocktails, I am taking away one star from this juicer as I am not very happy about the quantities of vegetables or fruits it takes to create one glass of juice. For instance, about 3-4 pounds of carrots will probably only produce a medium sized glass of juice. I remember metal hand cranked commercial juicers at juice stores from my childhood that produced more juice and less pulp. It also has a hard time with softer fruits even at the low speed. I put in 4 big bunches of champagne grapes into the juicer only to get a 6 oz. glass of juice. When I put the pulp back again into the juicer I got another 2-3 teaspoons of juice and there were still several grapes in the pulp that were not fully juiced. Therefore juicing with this machine can be expensive. I hate to throw away all the good pulp too...as it's pretty wasteful. But I simply cannot make a carrot cake each time I juice carrots or a fruit pie each time I juice some fruits. So the machine is getting less use than it should.

Despite this being a nice juicer I may send it back and go back to eating fresh whole fruit and veggies. That way I'll get the fiber and less calories. But for folks who prefer to drink juice to eating the raw veggies and fruit this is a powerful and well designed juicer and very easy to clean.
Update - The price of this juicer has been fluctuating a lot on Amazon in December 2007 it was listed for under 40 bucks for a few days and now in Jan 2008 it is closer to 90 bucks. Just something you might want to be aware of!

Reconditioned or Looked Over and Packed by Breville?
Received three of these. First one looked beautiful but leaked all over the place. Second one arrived with dried food crud and a sticky base. Third one was sticky and had a moldy blade/filter. Breville didn't return phone calls or emails for one month. CSR representative was worthless. Amazon was great and accepted two returns for replacement. The juices these machines produce are very good and if you clean them immediately, that is easy to do. I can imagine that if you don't immediately clean them, they end up like the second one I received, with crust embedded and a clogged filter. This is a product that I wouldn't recommend buying in a "reconditioned" condition because Breville clearly lacks in the Quality Control area of their reconditioning center. Customer Service really doesn't exist -- I've never waited for a month after numerous attempted contacts with a company by phone and email, then to be told that they return every call. The rep actually told me that it was Amazon's fault because Amazon sent out a dirty product, not them. Well, I received another dirty product and the second one was worse and both of the boxes definitely had not been opened by anyone other than myself. CSR then told me he had to go because he needed to make more calls and he wanted to go home. Really, he said that. Because this is a reconditioned item with a limited warranty, the Customer Service aspect of a purchase is critical. With a "new" product review, I wouldn't spend the time on this issue, but had I known what a pain this would be to get some fresh extracted juices, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. Wish I hadn't given away my 30 year old Braun! Oh yes, I bought the 1 speed Breville for my daughter and she had to exchange the first one because it "sprayed juice all over the kitchen." Don't know a thing about the replacement yet other than it arrived packed in popcorn, not the styrofoam fitted packaging that the other did. I'm giving this juicer 2 stars because the juice is good and if you receive a nicely reconditioned product, it probably would be 5 stars.

EXCELLENT JUICER! WORTH EVERY PENNY!
This juicer far exceeded my expectations. I chose Breville over the Jack Lalanne juicer because I heard bad reviews about Jack Lalanne's juicer. I had a champion juicer that a friend gave me to use, which is an industrial type juicer. The champion was a good juicer, but I was only able to juice a few things before I had to pull it apart and clean it out. With the Breville, I can juice several things before it requires cleaning. You can actually fill up the juice catcher before it needs to be cleaned. The only con about the machine is that you can only juice hard pieces of fruit/vegetables for 4 minutes, then you have to give it a 1-2 minute break before you can juice more. That's no problem though if you're like me and don't juice a lot of hard fruits, or vegetables. Other than that, this machine works better than a champion. It also has a very large neck, so you can juice an entire apple without having to cut it up. It's terrific! I am so happy with my purchase!

Metrokane L Press Juicer, Orange Handles

Metrokane L Press Juicer, Orange Handles
From Metrokane

L Press Juicer. Grey rubberized grip handle. Metal flex design to press more juice with less effort from oranges, grapefruit, limes and lemons.

Amazon Sales Rank: #79542 in Kitchen & Housewares
Brand: Metrokane
Model: 1020.00
Dimensions: 9.00" h x 7.50" w x 17.50" l, .0 pounds

Hot off the Metrokane lineup, the L-Press is a very snazzy manual juicer designed for the modern home. Rather than building on the 1950s look of its Mighty OJ juicer, Metrokane's designers created this one with a sleek, curved-L body made of hardened steel reinforced with die-cast aluminum. Like the Mighty OJ, the L-Press uses a rack-and-pinion gear system, but interlocked with it on this model is a lever handle that rotates in a 500-degree arc, impressively creating up to 1,000 pounds of leverage. As a result, limes, lemons, oranges, and grapefruits release every bit of juice with the least amount of effort.

Another nifty feature of the L-Press is the rubberized grip on both the lever and stabilizing arm, available in either a neutral gray or a dazzling traffic-cone orange. A 25-ounce stainless-steel pitcher, integral to the design, catches all the fresh-squeezed juice and features a pouring spout. After use, the removable stainless-steel strainer and cone wash up easily. The L-Press makes a fantastic gift for the aficionado of good design-and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Metrokane covers the juicer with a lifetime warranty on moving parts. --Ann Bieri

Looks great, performs poorly.
I juice a lot of oranges on a regular basis. I have tried manual reamers and electric juicers. I was excited to use one which could apply a lot of pressure quickly and with less effort. The only problem, and it is a big one, is that the juicer leaves a large portion of the flesh unsqueezed. When I use an electric juicer/reamer, there is very little flesh left. With this juicer, the top does not come down far enough onto the removable cup cap to squeeze the whole orange. As a result, you will waste about 25% of the juice. This problem is so obvious that I can take the juiced halves and squeeze more juice out with my bare hand. I will be seeking a refund. I am very disappointed. I can't believe this product is on the market with such poor performance.

metrokane L press Juicer review
This juicer is built very well, and uses very good material in it's manufacture. It's value ends there! In order to squeeze the orange, you have to try to balance the flat surface of an inverted orange half on the top of rounded cone, then pull the handle down to press the juice out. This is very, very difficult. The orange tips to one side or another, and if you attempt to press, the bulk of the orange, being off to one side, causes the descending part of the press to be forced off to one side and missing most of the orange and interfering with the downward path of the unit. If you finally get the orange to balance in the center, (by holding it in place with your fingers, exposing the fingers to injury as the top descends),and press the top part down to it's maximum pressure, it only extracts juice from the middle of the fruit, leaving unsqueezed orange all around the rim of the fruit. I was getting hardly 2/3 of the volume of juice from the Metrokane L that I get on an electric juicer. I commend Amazon for their liberal return policy, and will definitely continue to do business with Amazon!

Fantastic!
Although I've only used it once, I feel compelled to recommend this product. It juices lemons and limes so quickly and almost as good as a reamer or the kitchenaid juicer attachment that I was using previously. Only con so far is that bits of unpressed pulp get pushed towards the rim of the lemon/lime so that it does miss (what I would consider) a negligible amount of juice.

Breville EW30XL Electric Gourmet Wok

2009-12-06T22:10:00.001-08:00

Breville EW30XL Electric Gourmet Wok
From Breville

Whip up healthy and delicious stir fry dinners with this handsome and convenient electric wok from Breville. The variable heat control has 15 settings, including a high sear setting, so you can precisely control temperature and cooking time. One-year limited warranty. Model EW30XL.

Amazon Sales Rank: #1694 in Kitchen & Housewares
Brand: Breville
Model: EW30XL
Dimensions: 8.20" h x 15.80" w x 18.10" l, 12.10 pounds

The Breville gourmet wok updates the electric wok design in every detail. For starters, its 1500-watt butterfly element is recessed around the base to create a heat zone over the entire surface--excellent conditions for quick searing and stir-frying. The variable heat probe includes 14 settings plus "high sear" for precise control, and the 14-inch-diameter die-cast wok bowl is roomy enough to handle whatever’s ready in the garden. Designed for simpler clean-up, scratch-resistance, and reduced-fat cooking, the wok’s surface is a four-ply Quantanium coating, combining titanium-reinforced mid-coats with a durable nonstick exterior. The glass lid is satisfyingly heavy with a stainless-steel rim and a convenient steam vent. The most striking difference between this and your old electric wok is the quick-release base that lets you put everything but the temperature probe and power cord in the dishwasher. Breville also includes a temperature indicator light, a booklet of recipes and tips, and a plastic spatula. --Emily Bedard

Hottest Wok I've Ever Used
This Wok has some serious heat. As a professional chef with Asian style recipes on the menu I've used many a stove top wok. Until now I'd never found an electric wok that could generate enough heat to sear in the flavors of meats and vegetables. Not only does the Breville Electric Wok deliver as much heat as a top of the range stove top wok, its surface is non-stick so I can use less oil for healthier results. Every thing about the wok is clever, from the detachable base, to the dishwasher safe parts, to the cook and look glass lid. Whoever designed this is in to wok cooking in a big way. Very clever, very stylish, very hot.

Great HOT wok - with terrific instructions
I've done a fair amount of stirfry over the years, and for a long time had a professional level one similar to this Breville. Once it died, I did not get another, and anytime I tried to do stirfry on the oven it was a disaster. Even a new pretty powerful $800 gas oven did NOT get the on-the-stove pan hot enough. I would end up 'stewing' the food, and it bore little resemblance to my stirfry's of the past.

I was VERY impressed with the excellent instructions that are provided in the book this comes with. I studied all their tips for an hour, and was amazed at the things I did NOT know, or had forgotten. Someone who never stirfried before could get first rate results by studying just a few pages. Little things are important - I used to just turn it on, and throw in the oil and wait for it to get hot. WRONG! You are supposed to turn it on EMPTY, let it get VERY hot, and only then put in the oil. And I realized I had started to get lazy, and was not doing smaller batches of items at a time, which does end up with better results.

If I need to get things out of the pan, I just hold a big bowl or plastic container next to it, and slide stuff up the side and out - or I just tip it up and dump it on a plate. Although it is good to know that once every few months I could actually take it apart for an old-fashioned cleaning, all you really need to do is wipe it out with a sponge. The non-stick surface is fantastic. The temperature dial is excellent, and it comes with the most heavy duty cord you ever saw!

Stir-fry is my teenaged son's favorite meal, and without a good wok, I hardly ever cooked it for him. Now when I tell him we're having stir-fry, he's thrilled. Remember this thing would be good for a lot more than just stirfry too. I was amazed that it could slow cook as well. I can make beef stew a one pot dish. Can't wait to try it out on tempura, which it will also be great for! There are also a lot of great recipes in the book.

Wok is really hot but what's with the non-stick surface?
I bought this wok based on the reviews posted here. I have to say that I agree that it gets really hot and I am amazed at how well it performs. That being said, I have noticed that the non-stick surface has a lot of surface scratches and I use a plastic spatula. Yesterday, I made Beef Lo Mein and the pan was just as great as beforehand. However, upon washing it up in the sink, I noticed that a piece of the non-stick had peeled off. My experience with that coating suggests that this will continue to occur as I use the appliance more often. This is very disappointing as this is the best performing wok that I have ever used. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that the non-stick won't continue to peel. That would certainly betray the overall performance of an otherwise excellent appliance

Waring Professional JEX450 Pulp-Eject Juice Extractor, Brushed Stainless
From Waring

The Waring Pro Pulp Eject Juice Extractor has a brushed stainless steel and polycarbonate housing. 805 watts, 2 speed operation, 3" feed chute, easy-to-remove pulp collector, 32 ounce juice cup. Limited Five Year Motor Warranty

Amazon Sales Rank: #98816 in Kitchen & Housewares
Color: brushed stainless
Brand: Waring
Model: JEX450
Dimensions: 18.10 pounds

Sleek and sophisticated in its brushed stainless-steel and polycarbonate housing, this 850-watt juice extractor features two speed options--low speed for juicing soft fruits and vegetables and high speed for more textured fruits and vegetables. The unit's 3-inch-wide feed chute accommodates large pieces, while its 32-ounce capacity allows for making healthy vitamin-rich drinks for the whole family, whether it's juice made from fruits like apples and oranges or vegetables like carrots, celery, and beets. The pulp of the fruits and vegetables, which can be used for soups, sauces, jams, and desserts, will automatically empty into its own easy-to-remove pulp collector during the juicing process. The detachable parts are dishwasher-safe and to clean the exterior, simply wipe the body down with a soft damp cloth. The juice extractor measures 10-1/2 by 8 by 13-3/4 inches and carries a five-year limited motor warranty.

Not as bad as Bund Pan Collector Says
I just got one for Christmas, and have been happy with the product. I only had to use 'extreme force' if I put too much food into the chute at once. I've been juicing pineapples and apples for a few days now and have not experienced an overheating problem. Also, compared to other juicers I've had (juiceman, etc), this one is simple to clean.

Nice Name Poor Performance
I recently purchased the NEW Waring juice simply because I knew the name and quality of products they typically produce.

This juicer does have a larger feed chute which makes juicing easier but there are these three metal bars inside to prevent people from sticking their hand in machine. These bars obviously are there for safety but caused my food push to get stuck in the machine while juicing spinach and created a suction action. I had to wiggle and use EXTREME force to extract the food push from the machine.
I also tried to juice pineapple and green apples, two of my favorites but the machine over heated. I had to follow the instructions in the manual that covered overheating throughly, now I know why they devoted so much time to overheating as this happened twice with me. I could only proceed after unplugging the machine and waiting 5 minutes with no luck, and then after ten minutes I was ready to go again.
Also noticed that the pulp container had large pieces of apple skin about the size of a fifty cent piece that was not juiced. The food chute is justified to one side and also caused all the residue in the filter to collect on one side, so the longer I juiced the less juice it yeilded.
The machine had two speeds, at last but never stated how many rotations per minute occured while on high or low.
Overall disappointing.

awesome product
has handled everything i threw at it.

thou i found with apples, i need to filter it so it wont be cloudy, handles everything with ease.

L Equip XL Wide Mouth Mini Juicer, Model 215
From L'Equip

The L'Equip XL Mini Juicer is an extra wide mouth pulp ejection juicer that will accomodate whole apples and offers optimum performance on all fruits and vegetables. This juicer has a two speed motor and a 6 year warranty.

Amazon Sales Rank: #22067 in Health and Beauty
Brand: L'Equip
Model: 215

Good juicer for a good price
This is a good juicer for the price. It does as well as advertised. The only cons are: if you are juicing a lot of fruit/veggies you need to clean out the pulp fairly frequently, you don't want your juicer to sit too long after using it (it is easiest to clean as soon as you are done juicing). I use a toothbrush to clean the blade/basket. The pros: Good quality, strong motor, makes great juice, and fits nicely into cabinets or onto the counter itself (good size). Overall I would highly recommend this juicer.

Not a bad machine
Just after I ordered Jack LaLane's Express juicer, I came upon the L'Equip. After reading the specs on the L'Equip, I hoped for the best with Jack LaLane's Express. : /

I've had several juicers over the years and the Express was actually a pretty nice machine. However it only worked for about a month. Customer Service was hard to run down but finally I was able to return it. Did I say I had to pay an extra $15 for only a 3 year warranty? That says a lot about the lack of confidence they had in their own product.

The L'Equip comes with a 6 year warranty - for free.

It's also slightly louder than the Express but not terribly so, but the motor is much stronger than the Express and has a higher RPM.

The design is very much like the Juiceman Jr. except it has a wide feeder chute. However "wide feeder chute" is a misnomer because there's a wedge within the chute. Well obviously this defeats the purpose of having a wide chute to begin with since there's a wedge inside, but apparently the purpose of the wedge it to keep the produce from spinning around inside the chute.

The high rpm occasionally results in produce being rapidly and violently being bounced back out of the chute but you adjust to that after a bit.

The wedge inside the L'Equip is pretty much the only thing I dislike about this machine though. I enjoyed the wide chute on the Express and it made juicing quite fast, but you have to take an extra step of cutting to accommodate the wedge inside the L'Equip.

It cleans well but you should remember to lift the bowl and pour out the little bit of extra juice that's left over when you're finished juicing.

I like mine and use it regularly but all machines take some time to adjust to and overall in my opinion, this machine beats the Juiceman Jr and the Express.

Very pleased
I did quite a bit of homework before selecting this juicer -- and I am glad I ended up with this one. It was the best balance of ease of use, reputation for reliability, and price.

It is easy to use and has juiced everything I've thrown at it very well. It cleans in about 1 minute.

Waring Health Professional Juice Extractor (New, Exclusive)

Great juicer for the price
I bought the Waring Pro Professional Juice Extractor JEX328 to use when I visit the USA. I originally wanted to buy L'Equip Mini Pulp Ejector Juicer, an excellent juicer that I use at home in the UK, but it was a bit pricey so I found a reconditioned Waring at a very good price on the internet (approx. $25).

Pros: sturdy / easy to use / comes with spout cleaner and its own jug which the L'Equip does not
Cons: Bit noisy / quite large and cumbersome / takes longer to clean than the L'Equip / lower yield than the L'Equip and some chunks of fruit and vegetables found in waste basket / pusher tends to stick sometimes

Although I definitely notice a difference between the two machines, I enjoy using the Waring, and consider it a good juicer for the price I paid.

Ahhh-mazing ENERGY!
This green powder is SO good, I just had to get the word out. Others I've tried (Whole Foods brand, Barlean's Greens, Berry Green, many others) literally taste just like grass clippings, so you have no choice but to mix it with juice or a smoothie. THIS green superfood is palatable enough to drink just mixed with water! (Let me explain: do not expect it to be SWEET. This is a veggie drink, but it has an ever-so-slight hint of raspberry that's pleasing to the tongue when you gulp it down.)

Healthwise, I've notice that my skin has gotten clearer, my energy levels have evened out, and I've harly even gotten a cough, let alone a cold, in the several years I've been drinking this- and I work with the sick and elderly.

Yes, there is sediment, but that is because this drink has FIBER in it- the kind that is naturally in fruits and veggies.

Accept it for what it is, compare it to the alternatives, and imagine how incredibly amazing you will feel. Then make your decision.

AWESOME!!
I add this to our smoothies in the morning (mixes easily in a blender). It has given me the energy boost I need AND it seems to balance my blood sugar. I have been trying to lose weight and w/2 scoops of this stuff my appetite is nicely suppressed for a large part of the day. Incredible stuff! Taste isn't bad either :)!

if you can swallow the superfood sediment...
I've tried mixing this in different things and the taste is overwhelming. To me it tastes mostly like green tea and peppermint, which in and of itself is not too bad, but the fact that the powder does not seem to dissolve at all kind of grosses me out. The only way I could swallow it is by using only half a scoop in a very large (24oz) glass of water. Then the flavor is much lighter and actually kind of refreshing. It still doesn't seem to dissolve completely and the bottom gets pretty grainy. Despite this, it truly is a superfood; the ingredients in it are the healthiest green foods as well as the more exotic green foods, some of which would be difficult to get in your diet other ways (wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa, spirulina, spinach, chlorella, acai, green tea, flax seed, and digestive enzymes). All of these foods have been suggested to be some of the healthiest foods around. The 'non-organic' version of the product depicted here is actually 70% organic, and if you're a 100% organic kind of person, Amazing Grass also offers an all organic version for a slightly steeper price.

got what i paid for
i too bought this on the lightning deal, and yes the chute is small, and if your not quick w the pusher, you will have juice and even whole pieces of fruit fly out.
what i like about it is it cleans up fast, and the juice is good. other juicers i have used were way more expensive and took way to long to clean,
if you read the directions, it clearly states fruit and veggies must be cut(you do not have to peel citrus as one person said) to size, this is a personal juicer, not really good for serving 2 or more people, i have used it every day, i drink the juice, then clean all parts, and for the money, i am satified.
and in truth, it is worth 109$, just understand, juicing is a messy, multistep process, so be prepared to spend 10-20 minutes to make your juice and clean your mess.
this machine works really well with
beet, carrots, lemons, limes, apples and pears, i have found it to work better with more firm fruits, and the booklet tells you it does not work well with leafy items.
as always do you research, and if you find a faster, easier to clean, cheaper juicer w stainless steal blades, by all means, let us know.

Worked well for 2 weeks
I bought this as a lightning deal product and initially was excited about it. I successfully juiced both fruits and vegetables and was planning on finally getting my recommended number of servings each day. Clean up was pretty easy and operation was simple. Yes, you have to cut up most large items and need to remove skin from things like citrus fruit and pineapples, but that didn't bother me.

Once during the operation (as the last juice was coming out of the chute), I could hear the motor slowing down. Since I was done juicing, I turned it off and didn't think much of it. A few days later, it died completely while juicing seedless grapes. There is almost nothing that would put less of a load on the juicer, which makes me believe this is a poorly made unit. There is a button on the bottom to reset the unit, but pushing that didn't help at all. It is going back to Amazon now rather than having to test the warranty from the manufacturer. I may try the Jack Lalanne version, but there are some quality issues reported about that one too, so maybe juicing isn't meant for me.

I like the stainless steel; but, read on:
The stainless steel touches the juice instead of plastic (plastic can be toxic) I like the stainless steel. But, the truth is that this juicer has a very small feed chute that measures only a little over an inch at its smallest diameter. So you have to chop every fruit and vegetable up into very small pieces.
After you put it in if the juicer is spinning, the particles will jump out of the feed chute and hit you in the face; so, you have to put the food in; then start the juicer and turn it off every time.
It rapidly spits almost the entire contents of the food into the pulp container and leaves you with a very small amount of juice.

Imagine fresh vitamin-infused juice from carrots, tomatoes, apples, and pineapple--anyone who enjoys healthy eating will want this continuous-flow juicer for non-citrus fruits and vegetables. Pits need to be removed from peaches, plums and other fruit, and thick rinds removed from pineapple and melons, but thin skins can remain on apples and carrots. Pulp is strained and eliminated through one spout, while the juice flows out another into a container of choice. This powerful attachment fits any DeLonghi DSM800 or DSM700 stand mixer and comes with a one-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

A Mixer? More like a Juicer that is also a mixer!
I bought my Delonghi 800 mixer a couple years ago and it has worked like a charm---from making hearty breads to whipping up a dozen egg whites, but only recently did I realize what a great juicer I had already sitting on my counter!

I invested in all of the Delonghi attachments last summer (juicer, blender, grinder, food processor) when I read that a new model was coming out and I was worried that I might not be able to buy them if I didn't act---so I did. I promptly put them in the cupboard and there they sat for the past year---unused.

Last month I decided to kick my 'health eating' lifestyle into high gear by increasing my vegetable/fruit intake and I decided a juicer would be a great way to increase 'raw' intake. After a lot of research on juicers, I finally made a decision and was ready to order---not a minor investment, mind you---when a chance look in the back cupboard reminded me of my prior attachment investment. Hmmm. What the heck, lets try out the juicer attachment.

20 minutes after reading the manual (which I wished contained more information than could be printed on a 3x5 card), I had a concoction of vegetables juiced and was enjoying a natural high: AMAZING! Over the past month, I have put everything but the kitchen sink through this juicer and it hasn't flinched one bit. I can't believe how powerful it is. Again: AMAZING!

Speedy & Efficient!
I just received this attachment for my DSM7 Exclusivo mixer, and I love it! I used to own a separate juicer, but it did not have the power or speed that this accessory has.

Because the pulp is ejected, you can keep juicing without having to worry about emptying a bin partway through a project.

Yes, this attachment sits up on top of the back of the mixer, so you wind up using the system turned around, but it is easy to attach and use. All parts lock into place smoothly and easily.

You will want to have a container right up under the waste spout, and doing so might mean that you may need something to place your container on top of to get it high enough. I started with a bowl resting on top of a pot, until I realized that I had a pitcher that was the perfect size to fit directly under the waste chute.

The juice also comes out at a fairly high level off the counter, but I simply placed my glass on an overturned pot and it was fine.

Like all juicers, there is a fine-mesh screen which takes some care to clean. I can't say that cleanup is better than my old juicer, but it certainly isn't any worse!

I have seen the juicer effortlessly and quickly reduce 5 pounds of carrots to a couple of glasses of juice and pulp in just a couple of minutes. I am very pleased.

As good as it gets

A welcome addition to any healthy kitchen, this fruit-and-vegetable electric juicer produces fresh juice quickly and easily. Simply place a glass or small pitcher under the spout; insert whole apples, pears, cucumbers, or other produce into the extra-large round chute; then gently and slowly press down on the food pusher. The unit's powerful 3,600 RPM motor and stainless-steel blade deliver delicious, all-natural juice in seconds--a nice alternative to store-bought varieties that often come laden with artificial sugar and preservatives. The unit's patented extraction technology protects vital nutrients and living enzymes, plus provides up to 30-percent more juice than other juicers, while its stainless-steel mesh filter ensures only pure juice gets dispensed into the glass. Pulp gets spun towards the back of the unit, collecting in an extra-large pulp catcher for easy disposal or composting, or, better yet, for flavoring cookies, soups, salsa, cakes, and more. Other highlights include whisper-quiet operation, a unique non-drip spout, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. Attractively housed in brushed stainless steel, the electric juicer measures approximately 18 by 12 by 17 inches and carries a limited lifetime motor warranty.

Best Juicer There Is!
I have been juicing for years with a few different cheap brand names. They were ok but very difficult to clean and very loud. I like to make my juice early in the morning before I go to the gym and it would sometimes wake up my neighbors if I did it too early. Many times I had to juice after the gym because it was so loud. The first thing that I noticed with the Power Juicer Pro is that it is super quite. Secondly it is pretty easy to clean. Thirdly, the machine is just beautiful. And lastly, the juice is much finer and cleaner than juice made from much cheaper machines. If you are serious into juicing and you do it everyday this is the machine to get. If you juice once in awhile you might want to get the cheaper Jack Lalanne plastic models. But beware that the plastic juicers are harder to clean and often get stained by the carrots. I hope that this review will be helpful to some. Happy juicing!!!

The Missing O Ring
I saw the Ad on TV for this Juicer and decided to buy one. I looked on Ebay and found one at half price and listed as new. Bid on it and won. The day it arrived I had some aplles and blue berries and carrots ... What a tasty drink I made and was pleased .Til I started to do the cleaning ..I found the pulp sticks in the discharge chute . This was OK but when I lifted the recepical off the base and saw all the pulp on the edge and dripping down the side I decided this is not right.. being the innervator that I am. I thought there should be a seal there . I purchased an seven and three quarter "O RING" and now the base is sealed from the recepical and no more leaks of juice and pulp.. The MANF needs to add a seal to that area.. and then the machine I think would be better
Other then that I'm happy with the Jack LaLanne juicer

COMPLETE JUNK!
This juicer is one of the worst juicers I've ever used. Don't be fooled by the claims made during the infomercial. This juicer barely has the ability to shred the produce fed into it, much less efficiently extract the any juice from the pulp. Worst of all, it is actually dangerous to use. It all comes down to poor design.

The primary flaw with this juicer is that the feed tube directs its contents into the center of the shredding blade where it spins the slowest. To make matters worse, the teeth at the center of the shredding blade are arranged in the same circular path. This tooth arrangement fails to generate any shredding action between the blades, and only grinds circular groves in the produce. Thus, the produce tends feed very slowly, or actually stalls in the grind tube. This slowed feeding action also seems to cause the centrifuge basket to slow down, and clog up. I'm not exactly sure why this happens, but I suspect it may have something to do with the produce binding between the bottom edge of the feed tube and the center of the shredding blade. Obviously, once the centrifuge basket gets clogged, less juice is extracted, the pulp is wetter, and more juice ends up in the pulp receptacle.

The second flaw is that the pulp is only discharged into the pulp receptacle from one side of the shredding /centrifuge chamber. This tends to cause the pulp to linger in the centrifuge basket, and compounds the clogging problem. Once the centrifuge basket gets clogged, the pulp begins to stick to the inside of the shredding /centrifuge chamber, and eventually seems to make its way into the juice catch basin.

The third flaw is that juice catch basin is flat on the bottom, and does not drain well. Pulp particles in the juice tend to settle on the bottom the juice catch basin, and eventually may stop the juice from draining. When this occurs, juice will flow over the inside lip of the juice catch basin, and stream down the motor housing. Wait; it gets worse! Since the motor's cooling vents are on the sides of the motor housing directly below the juice catch basin, juice escaping from the juice catch basin tends to flow into the motor housing through the cooling vents creating an electrical hazard.

Not flaws, but worth mentioning:
When the juice catch basin is installed, and the shredding blade spun onto the drive shaft before the centrifuge basket is installed, it will be very difficult to uninstall the shredding blade because there is no way to stop the drive shaft from rotating.

Since the feed tube is located in close proximity to the drain spout & juice cup, small produce items sometimes fall into the juice cup during the juicing process.

A little about the company, Powerjuicer.com:

If purchasing directly from Powerjuicer.com, they will try to convince you to buy the accessories. Take my word for it; the accessories are not worth the money! Furthermore, the accessories package may be charged as a separate purchase. Therefore, if one of the purchases are placed on backorder, it may not arrive until the money back guarantee on the other one expires. Either way, you may be stuck with one of the purchases, if you decide to send the other one back.

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.

Low-cost Citrus Juicer
I was looking for a lemon and lime juicer, something easy to use and cheap. This item fits the bill wonderfully.

It's three pieces. The bottom cup has a little spout on it. It also has a non-skid ring on the bottom to help prevent splippage. The top and bottom cups are graduated with Tbls, ml, and Cups measurements. All three pieces fit very well together and disassemble easily. Also, the manufacturer states that this is dishwasher safe, though I hand-wash mine.
My mother in law has already made lots and lots of bottles of her "healthy" style lemonade with this contraption. When you're done, it fits easily into a tall drawer/cubbard.

It is made entirely out of plastic, so we'll see how long this thing lasts, though I personally only plan to use it infrequently.

All in all, I feel like I got a really good value at ~$5, especially compared to all these other more expensive juicers that may or may not juice all that well.

Nice product & good value
I got this in an effort to minimize all the clutter in my cabinets, and I'm very happy with this little juicer. I still use the juicer attachment to my stand mixer for larger jobs, but for everyday use when cooking, this little juicer is great. I like that I can juice just one lemon or lime for a recipe and I can also measure the amount with the same piece of equipment. So often, a recipe will call for just a tablespoon or so of juice, and this way I don't have to dirty up a larger juicer and then a measuring spoon. I also like the non-slip padding on the underside.

Best of Breed (not a lemon)
It's so simple, even I could have thought of it. No modern gadgetry--just a traditional juicer that's been designed to provide the most juice for the least amount of effort. The arch and grooves are shaped just right, the base is secure, and the dome--while not especially useful as a "measuring cup"--assures things don't get sprayed all over the place (and person) after the juice has been secured in the base. This takes the sting, some of the mess, and most of the work out of putting the squeeze on 5-6 lemons.

Wish all the gadgets I ordered were this inexpensive and efficient.

There is a better juicer for the money
When I was in the market for a juicer, I had 2 in the price range I was thinking about. They were the Breville Compact Juice Fountain and Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer. A friend had let me borrow the Power Juicer, and I really liked it. As I was reading reviews and doing research, I concluded that the Breville was a better choice. So, I went out and bought the Breville.

I made the wrong choice! When I juiced apples, it left chunks of apples un-juiced that were about the size of a quarter. It also sent a good bit of the peal into the pulp area. I also found the juice to be very "gritty" and full of pulp. I was juicing a days worth of juice for my wife and me (about 32 lbs of apples), so I had to stop the machine and clean out the pulp 3 times.

I have since returned the Breville juicer and bought the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer. It works much better. I can juice 32 lbs of apples and never change the pulp catcher (I put a bag in it, so I don't even have to clean that part of the machine. The juice is much cleaner with less pulp. The Breville has a faster RPM motor, but the Power Juicer is every bit as powerful. It juices whole apples easily. You can also get about 4 decent sized carrots in there with no trouble.

All in all, I recommend the Power Juicer over the Breville. If you like a lot of pulp, then you might like the Breville. It is a good juicer for smaller quantities of juice. The Breville is a better looking juicer as far as its styling and color goes, but for me the Power Juicer wins hands down.

Easy to use/clean; now I can be healthy!
I have not used any other juicer so I don't know how this compares to others, but I have read a lot of reviews where most complaints about juicers were about wet pulp and hard to clean up.

This thing is a complete BREEZE to clean up and actually goes in the dishwasher if you want to. I rent an older home and don't have a dishwasher so I handwash and even that is quick. I can rinse off all pieces in less than 3 minutes if that.

The pulp to me feels really dry, sort of the texture of PlayDough. I don't see how much more juice could come out of it.

Since this is so easy to put together, use, and clean up I am juicing every night. I am looking forward to starting a compost pile for my garden now that I am compiling a good bit of colorful pulp to add to the compost heap.

I never thought I would drink a beet but I've made some great juices with beets, apples, oranges, and a little piece of ginger. It makes me feel really good to know that I'm getting my daily alottment of veggies/fruits in a tasty drink instead of eating cups and cups of veggies that I've had to prepare, cook, clean pots/pans, etc.

Since it's "compact" it doesn't take up much counter space. About the size of a coffee maker. Noise isn't too bad either.

My only complaint is sometimes smaller things slip over the chopping bowl (looks like metal coffee filter) such as grapes, small pieces of ginger, and some smaller pieces of fruit once it has been whittled down. It's just a small bit of waste tho, about the size of a half dollar in the case of a beet, that slips over into the pulp bin without getting juiced. With the ginger, I just open it up (after the blade stops spinning of course) and retrieve the piece and try it again.

For $99, it's hard to find a 700 hp model. Most are 400 hp in this price range.

So - I'm very happy with my purchase.

not bad for the $$
It's not a bad product for the money for beginners to try out juicing, but cleaning it (really cleaning it correctly and completely) is not easy, especially when juicing greens. The filter rim always has a LOT of green residue even after scrubbing it, and I have to use paper towels and the edge of a spoon to totally scrape it out. This isn't a problem with just fruit juice, though.

It leaves a lot of moist pulp, so I feel like I'm wasting a lot of the fruit/veggie, but this was my first juicer, so it was worth trying. Now that I know a little more about it, I wish I had invested a bit more and gotten a Champion or Green Star (rather than any centrifugal style juicer) to begin with, since I'm more interested in juicing greens now than anything. For just fruit juices, this is great. We made some delicious grapefruit juice and orange juice. I would never buy juice in a bottle/carton again, it tastes so much better (and, of course, is so much more nutrient-rich) freshly juiced.

For someone who's not really sure that they're going to be totally into juicing every day, this is probably the best one of the centrifugal ones to try out. Otherwise, if budget allows, the slightly more expensive grinding type like Champion is superior and also has an excellent warranty, which the Breville does not.

great juicer
When I first received this juicer (I read a lot of reviews and decided this was the best one for a great price) my first reaction was that it was tiny. Whatever! Size isn't everything! This juicer proves it. We juice every morning and this thing works great. The chute is small but it is not a big deal to cut your fruits and veggies. The pulp holder is plenty large. But most importantly it is powerful and creates great juice!

I wouldn't worry about all the reviews that talk about wet pulp being an issue of poor juicing (this goes for all juicers not just this one)... the pulp will always be a little wet but (at least from this juicer) you still get a ton of juice.. so no worries.

Clean up is super easy. We clean up right after we finish juicing so nothing has a chance to dry and get stuck to the parts. I think this makes all the difference. To disassemble and clean probably takes about 5 minutes max.

I have no complaints about this juicer. I just wonder why people buy bigger and more expensive ones.

The Omega 8003 Juice Extractor
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RR2I9XABBWZO6 Hello there this is Evo and I'm offering a video review of the Omega 8003 juicer. This is an outstanding juicer and I am so glad I didn't settle for something cheaper. Like stated in the video it has been an absolute JOY to use and have been using it daily for over a month now. With such a big warranty it is no surprise that Omega makes some of the best consumer grade juicers on the market. I hope you enjoy my review!

Works great/clean up easy
I am very happy with this juicer. I have juiced almost everything imaginable and it does a great job. Lately I have been grinding cooked meat frequently to make homemade dog food and it works perfect. I love the ease of assembly and clean up. It is a very good quality appliance. I have not tried using it for pasta yet but I believe it will do a great job as so far everything works so well. It isn't too bad as far as the noise it generates either.

Great for all veggies
This is a terrific juicer at a great price - works great for all kinds of veggies, especially leafy greens. I had a Champion juicer, which does not work well at all for leafy greens, produces lots of heat and foam, and is tough to clean. The Omega rotates slowly so it won't heat up your juice, and any kind of vegetable goes through it. You just have to cut up things like carrots into small chunks. It's simple and fast to clean and put back together. If you like green vegetable juices, this is the one to get!

Model: KS500
Dimensions: 9.06" h x 6.26" w x 6.26" l, 4.30 pounds

Get the most out of oranges, lemons, limes, and other citrus fruits with this electric juicer. The unit features a 30-watt motor and provides two-way rotation for efficient juice extraction. Juice flows into the machine's 34-ounce transparent container with a drip-free pour spout--great for viewing the juice level at a glance and serving juice directly from the container. The unit's double cone juicer accommodates different size fruits, while one-touch operation makes the device foolproof. Detachable parts clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher, and cord storage keeps the power cord out of the way when not in use. A transparent dust cover comes included to protect the internal components and extend the life of the unit. Designed and engineered in Italy, the juicer measures approximately 6-1/4 by 6-1/4 by 9 inches.

Nice Price Point - Shoddily Made Juicer
I received this product from Amazon on Friday, January 4th. My main reason for purchasing this juicer was its clean design (really like how the juice falls into the pitcher as opposed to the kinds that have a spout where the juice comes out) and for the unbeatable price. However, this morning, Tuesday, January 8th (a whopping 5 days since I've had this juicer) the juicer finally gave up on me.

I was juicing some small lemons when the machine just stopped working. There was no resistance or strange noise - nothing - the motor just completely stopped working. I would expect an inexpensive juicer like this to have a relatively short lifetime, however, 5 days is ridiculous. While the design was very nice (adjustable pulp settings, easy to clean, all parts fit neatly together), the fact that it simply stopped working (for no apparent reason) is astounding.

I had read similar reviews on other "cheaper" juicers that if you press too hard the motor could burn out - having read this, I was very careful to not push too hard when juicing. I would NOT recommend this juicer to anyone - Spend the extra money on a better quality juicer and avoid the headache that this one will cause.

Pulp problem
This is a great citrus juicer. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how well this juicer extracted nearly all the juice from my limes. My only problem with this device is it does not strain out all of the pulp. Other than that, this juicer would have received 5 stars from me.

Nice Idea, Inexpensive execution
Nicely designed, but inexpensively made. I would very much like to have one made of glass and metal. Especially the working parts. Motor and gears are plastic and prone to self-destruct over time and use. Having destroyed other, similar units, I use care. Two size spindle works great on lemons as well as grapefruit and oranges. Adjustable pulp strainer a plus. Removable decanter is nice but awkward to remove. All-in-all, a reasonable product for the money, but I'd rather have paid more for a higher quality machine.

If you like thick foam, it's great~
I just bought this juicer and now I'm on my way to return it. I find that it wastes way too much produce, and the juice that is produced is thick and foamy. If you want real juice, don't waste your money here...

Run away...run very far away from the machine
My old reliable juicer crapped out on me one afternoon in the middle of juicing...had the poor dear for nearly 15 years and it cost only $50, back in the day!

Anyway...I popped into the local Wal-mart and found this one. Thought it would be okay (great price $30) but have cursed the day since.

My pulp to juice ratio is very high. My old juicer would squeeze every ounce of fluid from 4 small apples...with this one I had to juice 10 large red delicious just to get CLOSE to the output from my old machine.

And the pulp, OY, the pulp! I use a glass, half gallon container and, I kid you not, the pulp takes up well over HALF of the container.

I have reached the point of having to clean out the strainer after each fruit/veggie I juice, to make sure the fluid flows properly. AND I've taken to squeezing the pulp in the basket and other parts through cheese cloth just to get the right amount of juice I should be getting.

SO...it takes a long time to extract what used to take 20 minutes (including clean-up). To get 2 full quarts of juice is now taking me a full hour (including cleanup)! Not just from having to clean and squeeze but also from having to cut the fruits and veggies down to a size the machine feeder can handle. So I cut apples (small red delicious) into quarters...then the quarters into eighths...just to fit into the blasted feeder!

Lastly, the power button is a switch. Which means to turn it on you have to push the switch up, by applying force to the bottom of a small lip. I have to place my left hand on top of the juicer to keep it on the counter and apply force onto the switch with my right hand to turn the rummy thing on! Why not make it a button Hamilton Beach, why?

I am now in the market for a new machine...after only three weeks.

Stay away from this contraption!

Noooo, my fruit, my fruit!.....sob
Don't buy this, don't buy this, dooooooon't buuuyyyy this!!! o_o

This is the first juicer I purchased ever, so when I found all the juice leaking out everywhere, all the fruit being wasted, and the iddy biddy amount of juice that I made after 2-3 hours of juicing, I thought that maybe all juicers sucked. But no, luckily, it's just this one, and yes, it DOES suck. badly.

I made about 2 glasses of juice from about 10 pounds of fruit. the juice from the juicer just happened to leak out and fall into the cup, the rest of the juice that should have went into the cup was leaking and oozing out of the top of the pul container. This was also very difficult to clean and terribly noisy.

Amco Vintage Citrus Squeezer

Amco Vintage Citrus Squeezer

This is the one you want
This is THE citrus juicer. My wife's grandmother passed a real vintage one of these on to us and no juicer out there can match the ease, speed and power of this juicer. The rounded squeezers take much more effort and never get all this juice. This one squeezes the citrus half from the side which makes much more sense. Using simple leverage where it counts the most a simple squeeze will instantly get all the juice completely out of half a lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, etc.

We used to live in Florida and had tons of grapefruit from trees in our yard. I could squeeze bushels of grapefruit in an hour with this manual squeezer with no muscle fatigue, no seeds and minimal pulp. This works as fast, if not faster, than motorized juicers (for citrus, at least).

If this has not yet been made available through Amazon again, what are you waiting for. This is simply the best juicer available for citrus.

Simply the best juicer!
My grandmother used to have a juicer just like this one and I have never seen one in stores but always remember how good it worked. I was very excited to find this juicer on Amazon, the trouble is that it's listed as a "squeezer" instead of juicer so it was a bit hard to find.

This juicer gets all the juice out of your citrus and does it with ease. I have had several other crappy hand held juicers that either break or the pins fall out. Hopefully this will be the last juicer I need to buy.

I would argue that this works just as good as the $200 pro juicers at about a 1/15 the price!

Quick and easy
Cut your fruit in half, put in the juicer, push down on the top handle, pick up by the handles, and pour already-strained juice out the spout on the side. The strainer easily comes out, and the enamel coating makes washing a breeze. It doesn't get much quicker or easier!

Great Juicer-Great Price
I don't think you can find a better, easier to use citrus juicer at any price. It's gone up a couple of bucks since I bought mine, but it is still the best deal available without question.

It's fast, stable on the counter, converts to a serving pitcher when you're done juicing, and it's absolutely a cinch to clean up. I can't think of anything Proctor Silex could do to improve this product.

If you're in the market for a citrus juicer (and fresh-squeezed is so far superior to anything you can buy in the grocery store) you can't do better than this one. Buy it.

can't take the pressure
after breaking it (like everyone else) i opened it up and found the problem. at the bottom of the shaft is a thin plastic extension that pushes down on a metal plate when you push down on the juicer. this plate then touches another plate to complete the circuit and start the motor. a little too much downward force will break that little plastic extension off the main shaft, so the plates are never made to touch. if the main shaft weren't so cheaply made, this juicer would be great. as is, it is useless. they should at least offer a replacement part, but I can't find one. also, the power cord could be longer.

I love it!
I am actually purchasing this juicer for my parents because I love mine so much! It is easy to clean (all of the parts are detachable) and works really well at extracting all of the juice. Try it with tangerines! :)

Champion Juicer G5-NG853S-BLACK Household Juicer
From Plastaket Mfg Co Inc

Powered by a full 1/3 horsepower, heavy-duty motor, the Champion Juicer is powerful, durable, and built to last. All juicer parts are made from 100% FDA accepted nylon and stainless steel. Heavy duty front and rear ball bearing installation for smoother running, maximum R.P.M.'S.

Great Juicer!
I bought this exact model of juicer two years ago and have been very satisfied with the juicing results. My pulp comes out very dry and we get a lot of juice out of each fruit or vegetable. I've juiced spinach, beet greens and chard. Today I juiced wheat grass for the first time which worked, but was not entirely what I expected: it came out really thick. Perhaps there's a trick for juicing wheatgrass I'm not aware of. However, I'm undeterred and will try again tomorrow.

Overall: this machine is really great. I'm super happy with it and purchase it all over again.

No support when ages
I discovered today that Champion DOES NOT SUPPORT older models. They still appear to be identical but you can't get replacement blades. If you are purchasing now and think you can get a replacement when needed...think again.

If you don't care about future support then it's a great machine.

Metrokane Chef's Juicer

Metrokane Chef's Juicer
From Metrokane

'Professional Model'

Amazon Sales Rank: #202696 in Kitchen & Housewares
Brand: Metrokane
Model: 1500
Dimensions: 6.90" h x 7.90" w x 16.40" l, 7.00 pounds

As attractive as it is professionally functional, this chrome juicer generates powerful pressure to quickly squeeze every drop of juice out of oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes. And it extracts sweet juice without scraping bitter oil from the fruits' skins, as electric juicers often do. Its rack-and-pinion gear system and bar handle generate pressure with little effort, and the spring-action handle snaps back automatically for convenience and speed. For stability, there's a grip for the left hand while the right hand pulls down the handle. Accompanying the juicer is a 2-cup, mirror-finish, stainless-steel juice cup with a removable strainer/cone for easy cleanup. The juicer measures 17 inches high, 5-1/2 inches wide, and 7 inches deep, and its moving parts carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Editor's Choice:Our choice for best citrus juicer under $100, Metrokane's Chef's Juicer is a beautiful piece of equipment, and not so large (17 inches high, 5-1/2 inches wide, and 7 inches deep) that it wouldn't fit on almost any kitchen counter. And it should be displayed, as it's fairly elegant, with a shining chrome finish. But the real plus is in the final product--the juice.

Cheap metal
When I first got the juicer, I absolutely loved it! Finally, fresh O.J.! Worked well, was able to juices 10-20 lbs. of oranges in minutes. However, I did get the feeling there was still plenty more left in the halves. Then one day the gears felt "sticky", and then on one more pull of the arm the metal body just cracked and broke! Right where the arm attaches to the body it just cracked apart. This was not mechanical. it was just poor quality.

Metrokane Chef's Juicer- Fast & Easy! Solidly built!
I have the Metrokane Chef's Juicer (called only the "Spa Juicer" at the Metrokane site). It is Fast & Easy! It must have
great pressure as it really squeezes oranges, lemons and small grapefruits thoroughly! The cup is polished stainless steel,
as is the remaining mechanism (not including the strainer-dome and the top-dome) making clean up easy. I drink fresh
squeezed Florida juiced oranges EVERY morning for the past two years. It is the best way to start my day off. I LOVE IT

and I am buying another for my sister so there will be one there when I am there for my frequent visits! Buy this particular
model if: (1)- you want to be SURE you get all of the juice out of your fruit, (2)- If you have (like I do) way too many electric
gadgets. This mechanism takes up very little counter space. Because it is shiny and very good looking, it is the only thing
on my counter top in addition to my coffee maker. Solidly built! No breakable parts. (This is not the spring loaded arm
model).

I also have an electric juicer, but I only use it for "non citrus" fruits and veggies. I used to use a reamer, but this is faster,
cleaner and more efficient.

The top dome's interior will pit if not cleaned immediately, made of different metal (? or just unpolished?)...There are more "professional" models
out there from Metrokane. I believe the higher priced Metrokane models have a spring mechanism to spring the arm back
in position. I think the extra spring is an unnecessary addition and just gives you something to worry about breaking!...

Far from being "professional"
Nice looking chrome gadget but we found it to perform poorly. The holding glass is small and tilted very easily. The halves stucked to the cup on the lever. You have to remove the fruit halves with your fingers (very impractical and messy). The cranker does not produce enough leveler pressure often leaving plenty of juice in the halves, no matter how hard you push. If you push to hard the stability of the juicer is not good. There are no suction feet to hold the machine in place. Can't recommend it. Far from being a so call "professional" equipment.

Waring Pro Jex-328 Professional Juice Extractor Stainless Steel - Factory Refurbished

Waring Pro Jex-328 Professional Juice Extractor Stainless Steel - Factory Refurbished
From Waring

Waring Pro JEX-328, Ideal for today's fast and healthy lifestyles, the Health™ Juice Extractor is engineered to make the process easy. More juice is extracted from less produce, leaving only dry pulp in the ejector. An extra wide feed tube minimizes preparation time, and the convenient On/Off toggle switch is simple to operate. Brushed stainless steel housing and juice collector. Removable stainless parts are dishwasher safe.

Great juicer for the price
I bought the Waring Pro Professional Juice Extractor JEX328 to use when I visit the USA. I originally wanted to buy L'Equip Mini Pulp Ejector Juicer, an excellent juicer that I use at home in the UK, but it was a bit pricey so I found a reconditioned Waring at a very good price on the internet. (approx. $25).

Pros: Sturdy / easy to use / comes with spout cleaner and its own jug which the L'Equip does not

Cons: Bit noisy / quite large and cumbersome / takes longer to clean than the L'Equip / lower yield than the L'Equip and some chunks of fruit and vegetables found in waste basket / pusher tends to stick sometimes

Although I definitely notice a difference between the two machines, I enjoy using the Waring, and consider it a very good juicer for the price I paid.

I love my juicer
I've been using this model of juicer for six years. Even though I have other machines I keep coming back to the waring. When it burns up or breaks it is affordable to replace. I teach others how to begin juicing and this is always the machine I give to my friends. I have never had to pay more than $49.95 for a machine and generally get two years use out of a unit before it blows up. Does it have faults; yes. Is it a good little machine: yes.

EXCELLENT JUICER
I have had my factory reconditioned juicer for 3 years. Still going strong. If it burns out tomorrow, I will buy another.

No problems with it at all. Very dry pulp left in container so I know that I am getting maximum juice from fruit and vegetables. Excellent buy.

great juice
This is a nice product - it's heavier & larger than I would have expected, but it is simple to use.

It juices pretty much everything, and the pulp that is left over is really quite dry - more so than a lot of the centrifugal juicers I have used.

I went for this model over some of the others because I wanted something that was a little more multipurpose. So far I have made several batches of pasta with it - really rather good too!

Cleaning is straightforward, there's not that many nooks & crannies to get worked up about, the screen cleans easily with any soft brush, the toothbrush supplied is good enough.

In all there's the outer housing for the auger, the auger itself, the screen and the end cap & nozzle. These parts have all made it through the dishwasher - the screen is the only piece you really need to do by hand... the other bits all seem to come perfectly clean with a good rinse in hot water (after juicing, anyway).

The auger does it's job nicely, the motor seems to be suitably powerful.

About as loud as a regular food processor.

The only thing I would say is that perhaps the buttons should be sealed.

The instruction manual is simplistic, but there are a wealth of recipes available elsewhere.

A true wheat grass juicer that does many other things
I went into major "resarch mode" when looking for a wheat grass juicer. I discovered that other juicers shouldn't be used for wheat grass because their fast speed made for doing other juices means that oxygen enters the wheat grass which breaks down the very properties you drink wheat grass for.

but other wheat grass juicers that were the right speed could not do other thigns or other juicers, or cost an arm and a leg as a professional juicer.

This was suggested to me by a restaurant that does wheatgrass and, I concur, it's a real winner. I have made pasta with it and fruit juice too and it's a fun machine...but whereas other juicers broke down the wheatgrass so it lost its potency, this gives me the same quality of that I used to purchase at a juicer place, for way less in the long run.

We grow wheat grass in a long canister that's gorgeous on the center of our table and just clip it as needed.

better than any energy drink on the planet and no additives or preservaties and this one does it so it works!

Black & Decker CJ525 CitrusMate Plus Citrus Juicer

This large-capacity juicer lets you squeeze a whole liter of juice directly into a refrigerator-ready serving pitcher for fresh, cold juice anytime.

Amazon Sales Rank: #907 in Kitchen & Housewares
Color: Black,Orange
Brand: Black & Decker
Model: CJ525
Dimensions: 6.90" h x 6.90" w x 9.50" l, 1.60 pounds

With a capacity of more than a quart (34 ounces), this electric juicer can prepare family-size portions with little operator effort. Large and small cones fit on the reamer to accommodate different-size fruits. The reamer automatically reverses itself to extract the maximum amount of juice, while a stirrer presses juice from the pulp in the strainer. Finally, there's an adjustable control that regulates how much pulp goes into the juice, a feature margarita fanciers will welcome. For storage, the cord wraps in a slot around the base, and a cover protects against dust. Hand wash this juicer in warm soapy water. --Fred Brack

Editor's Choice:A great first juicer, or a good juicer for someone who doesn't juice every day, Black & Decker's CitrusMate Plus citrus juicer is our choice for best citrus juicer under $50. It will fit into every budget and still deliver lots of fresh juice. This juicer is extremely easy to use, as you just install the cone you want to use (it comes with two cones, making it adaptable for different sizes of fruit), plug it in, and press the fruit down into the cone. Then it goes to work automatically.

wonderfully easy to use
most other juicers will tire out your wrists long before you have enough juice for a cup, but not this one. using it couldn't be easier- cut the oranges in half, hold one half over the top, and it spins around, and your juice ends up in the little pitcher on the bottom. when you have enough (it has handy markings on the sides of the pitcher for measuring), twist off the pitcher & pour it out.

because the motor is in the seperate base that doesn't get any juice on it, washing it is super easy- just pop off the juicer piece, the pulp straining top, and the pitcher and wash them in your dishwasher or sink.

Florida Girl with Citrus Trees Approved!
This juicer is awesome. It is light and small in size which makes it not only easy to store but makes me willing use it all the time - no dread of lugging out some huge, heavy contraption. I live in South Florida and have a yard full of grapefruit, orange and key lime trees - this juicer does them all like a champ. With the two sizes of the juicing cone, one juicer takes care of all of my citrus. The strainer pops apart very easily and is a snap to clean with running water alone! You do not need to apply much pressure when using the juicer which allows you to juice many fruit in a row since your arm doesn't get tired. I love the adjustable pulp strainer - my husband likes lots of pulp, I like a little, and some friends just like the juice alone - no problem with this little workhorse. I also love that it gets all the juice out of the fruit - the fruit is dry after going on top of this machine! The juice flows right into the pitcher which makes it perfect for pouring right into your glass or into any other container - pitchers, plastic zip top bags, etc. I had looked and looked for a good juicer and most were expensive, bulky, hard to clean, etc. but not this great machine. I was skeptical since it is so cheap, but thought, "Well, what do I have to lose since I'm not spending much on it?" - now I'm in love with it. I'm such a fan that I just bought a second one to take to our vacation house!

Life-Enhancing Health-wise and in Ease of Use
I was in the appliance section of the store and I was trying to decide between the citrusmate and one that was only 5 dollars cheaper.
And then I saw that the CitrusMate has a separate smaller cone for lemons and lime, and since I was buying this thing to make my life a little bit easier while on the Master Cleanse diet/fast (a lemon and water concoction for 14 days), it was a given.

This is my first juicer, so I don't have a comparison for you, sorry, but I can definitely recommend it as an appliance just by itself. Very efficient in shredding the citrus fruit! It rotates both ways, to get the juice out efficiently. And the clean-up is a breeze.

After this lemonade fast is over, my diet will only be water and juice as far as beverages go, and this thing will be so much easier to use than my Jack la lanne juicing machine, when I just simply want a glass of fresh orange juice!

Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor
From Breville

Breville Ikon Multi-Speed Juice Fountain is 900 watts. It has a 5 speed high speed motor that features a built-in electronic smart chip that increases power to the cutting disc under heavy loads. As a result, the filter extracts more juice and can make an 8 ounce glass in just 5 seconds. The 3" feed tube allows for the easy and efficient processing of whole fruits and vegetables, without pre-cutting, slicing or peeling. It is uniquely positioned directly over the center of the cutting disc for better balance and consistent results. The 5 speed settings make the Ikon Juice Fountain the most versatile juice extractor available. The lower speeds are for softer fruits and leafy green vegetables. The higher speeds maximize extraction from dense foods such as apples and carrots.

Housed in attractive stainless steel, this 900-watt juice extractor features a unique five-speed smart juicing system. Its powerful motor comes with a built-in electronic smart chip that increases power to the cutting disc under heavy loads. As a result, the filter extracts more juice and can make an 8-ounce glass of juice in just five seconds. Speeds range from 6500 rpm for softer fruits and leafy greens like cantaloupe or spinach, to 12500 rpm for maximum extraction from denser foods such as apples or beets. The unit's 3-inch circular feed tube makes it easy to process whole fruits and vegetables, without pre-cutting, slicing, or peeling, plus the feed tube sits uniquely positioned directly over the center of the cutting disc for better balance and consistent results. The juice extractor also provides a stainless-steel micromesh filter and cutters, engineering-grade polymers, a backlit control panel, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. Accessories include a 1-liter juice jug and froth separator, a detachable spout for juicing directly in to a glass, and a cleaning brush. The juice extractor measures 16-4/5 by 15-1/2 by 10-1/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

well built juicer
Breville BJE510 was nominated Australian Design Award and it deserves it indeed.
Built very well with outstanding attention to detail, solid stainless steel feed chute, thick and mirror finished acrylic parts that do not have difficult to wash nooks. Juicing carrots left no stains and washing with paper towel and few drops of mild detergent took about 3 minutes for acrylic parts and 5 minutes for the basket with help of soft brush. Locking bar is solid metal with safety - motor will not start if bar is not raised to lock position to prevent any accidental startup. Speed dial has solid feel and digital info display is very cool looking. After choosing speed the power requirement is automatically adjusting according to load. Unit is slightly heavy yet within a reason. Cutter assembly has simple yet solid lock and is easy to remove - no more pulling apart stuck cutter basket and motor base wondering when you are finally going to break it. Pulp from veggies comes out with little moisture and not dripping wet, so efficiency appears to be quite good. Amazon shipping came in double carton and manufacturer also uses very thick padding therefore no problem with shipping and no damage of any kind. In one sentence, this juicer is practically designed, works very well and looks good.

The "Lexus" of juicers
We owned a refurbished Waring JEX328 juicer for about two years and my wife used it to make juice for our children and me almost every day. It held up fairly well and we paid almost nothing for it at the time (around 30 bucks, I think), but it finally cratered a couple of weeks ago. We debated for a while whether or not to replace it with this Breville model or the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro. We finally decided on this one because it had so many five star ratings and because it is an appliance we use so often, thus we thought it made sense to get the best one we could find, even with its steeper price. While I can't compare it to the Hamilton Beach model, I can compare it to the Waring model, and it beats the Waring model hands down.

As soon as you unpack the Breville you know you have a top quality piece of equipment. It does an outstanding job at juice extraction (the pulp is dryer than what the Waring produced, and the Waring actually did pretty well) and the clean-up is far easier. When cleaning the Waring, you had pulp caked up within the machine itself and it was a pain to clean it out, partially becaused it had a higher moisture content but also simply because of all of the nooks and crannies in this catchment section of the juicer. Although this section detached, it was still difficult to clean nonetheless . The Breville puts the pulp in a separate container off to the side, and as others have mentioned, if you line it with a plastic bag there is nothing to it. The only "pain" is cleaing the filter device, which is going to be difficult with any juicer you buy. The brush they provide does make this a little easier, however.

Now for the biggest difference: the noise produced when the machine is turned on. With the Waring, you had to pause the television, stop talking, cover your ears, and hope the neighbors didn't phone the cops on you for disturbing the peace. The Breville is FAR quieter. Don't get me wrong, it is not "whisper quiet" or anything like that, but it probably makes one third of the noise the Waring did.

Is it worth the higher price as compared to the Waring or Hamilton Beach? Hard to say. Like I mentioned, we got the Waring for practically nothing and it was a good introductory machine for us for juicing, but SO LOUD!

I can't really find any flaws with the Breville at all (we have run it for about a week now). Considering, however, that it costs almost three times what you can get the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro for (I would chose this one over the Waring purely from my experience with it and from reading the reviews for the Hamilton), whether or not you want to go with this "ultra juicer" version boils down to sheer personal preference. How often you will run it and what variety of recipies you might want to put through it should probably be your driving factors, along side the price difference, of course. The main differences I found with the Breville as compared to the Hamilton were a slightly higher wattage (900 versus 800) and the variable speeds instead of only one, single speed. From our perspective, though, we have had no regrets in spending the extra cash for this top model.

EDIT 08/05/08: Just thought I would mention that since this review we bought the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro as a gift for my wife's mother, so we had a chance to directly compare it to the Breville. It did a good job, but it was louder and not nearly as solidly built as the Breville. After this comparision, we are even more satisfied with our decision to spend a bit extra and get this model. The varible speed on the Breville is something you will definitely miss should you go back to a model that does not have this feature. Hope this helps!

Best Juicer, worth every penny
I look forward to using this juicer every day. I used to own a more expensive juicer but cleaning it was such a pain I stopped juicing and gave it away. After doing tons of research I settled on the Ikon Juicer which is just perfect. My biggest concern was cleaning. It takes about 10-15 minutes to clean by hand but you can rinse the parts and just put it in the dishwasher. The pulp comes out dry so all the juice is extracted pretty much. I disagree with the complaint that people have that the juicer is too loud. It's not that bad actually. The design is very cool looking compared to other juicers. I've used it for about 2 weeks and made a variety of juices and I see and feel the difference in myself. Lets face it, if you're single, cooking and cleaning are not at the top of your list. The Ikon lets you get all the nutrients from fruits and vegetables in their purest form immediately without the headache of cooking and cleaning. If you are serious about your health, spend the money and buy the Breville Ikon Juicer. You won't regret it.

problems
It is a large citrus squeezer, I like that. But the sqeezer doesn't fit over the cup properly. I find that annoying. I am also unhappy that this juicer is not dishwasher safe. The color of the finish seems artificial - I guess that isn't stainless steel. I am a no nonsense person; I don't need tools to be shiny, just functional and durable. Therefore not happy with this product.
