Simply put: Great Juicer! It won the Australian Design award and it deserved it. If you like to have a glass of fresh juice and have it quick, how about 5 seconds? Yes, that’s how long it will take you to get a glass of juice with the Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable Speed Juice Extractor. Apart from being totally easy to use, it has a great many advantages over ordinary juicers in the market today. Actually, as far as juicers go, you can know you have the best if you have it.

What makes it so good?

1. We’ve already talked about the speed of extraction. 5 seconds and you have a glass of juice.
2. It comes with 900 watts of power and a 5-speed smart juicing system. You can increase power as you go depending on what you are juicing; for lighter loads, you use a lower speed and for heavier loads, you use the higher speeds. Its safety proofed too – it won’t come on unless you have it attached properly to prevent accidents.
3. What kinds of loads are we talking? Name any fruit and veggie and you can get it juiced. Apples, beets, carrots, spinach – anything you want to juice really.
4. It’s got a 3” feeding tube – bye bye to all the dicing and slicing before you feed the juicer. And just so you know, it doesn’t throw bits around as you juice.
5. It’s powerful. The speeds range from 6500 rotations per minute to 12500 rotations per minute. And all this accessible through button adjustment.
6. It’s easy to clean – it comes with its own cleaning brush which makes cleaning a breeze.
7. It’s made of stainless steel – both the casing and the knives. This increases durability, and means that you won’t get any rust on it no matter how long you use it.
8. It comes with detachable plastic parts – part of the reason why it’s so easy to clean. It’s also dishwasher safe.
9. The motor will not burn out on you like most juicers of this kind do – this one keeps its promise and you can be guaranteed a good many years of use.
10. Its quiet – most juicers sound like you dragged the lawn mower into your house, but this one is different. Not whisper quiet, but you won’t be waking up the neighbours when you want to make a glass of juice.
11. It’s beautiful. It’s made of a stainless steel casing and has a back-lit display to guide you with choosing from the 5 speed options available.
12. It comes with a 1 litre jug and a froth separator (not common and great for those who hate froth). The pulp is efficiently extracted – there’ll hardly be any juice in it when you’re done.

It’s a great, solid juicer and you should definitely go for it. Anything you want to look out for? Make sure that you choose your speeds well. Too soft a fruit or veggie at too high a speed and you’ll get a mess. Other than that, you have made the perfect choice for a juicer. No gripes about it so far from other users, so you can be sure you’re getting the real deal. My advice? If you’re tired of juicers that don’t give you your money’s worth, spend about $200 on the Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable Speed Juice Extractor. You won’t regret it.

Omega, true to their brand excellence, have produced yet another winning juicer. Good enough to compare to the J8003 and the J8005, the Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Single-Gear Commercial Masticating Juicer comes top of the range. It will not grind coffee or mince, but as far as juicers go, it’s the best you can get. It’s designed to give juice with minimal nutrient loss. So if you’re looking for an Omega to just juice, you’ve found it.

Let’s see just what it’s got:

1. Unlike most new-model juicers, this one works at a low speed of 80 RPMs; other models will come with as high as high as 400 RPMs. The advantage of the slow speed is that during juicing, all nutrients are retained and you get the most out of your fruit or vegetables.
2. The slow speed also means no foaming – if you prefer your fresh juice not to have any foam, this is the juicer to go for.
3. Since it works at low rotation speeds, it means that your juice comes out cool enough to drink straight away. With high speed juicers, because the juice gets turned around quite a bit in the juicing process, it tends to come out a bit warm and you may have to chill it a little before you drink it.
4. It comes with an auto pulp ejecting function that allows continuous juicing – you don’t have to stop to get rid of pulp and then continue to juice. The pulp goes into a pulp bin and you can either throw it out or use it for soups.
5. It comes with a built-in auto-reversal system. If any bits get past without being crushed and juiced, they are reversed back into the crusher. Nothing gets past and that means you get a smooth juice in the end.
6. Its quiet – most juicers sound like a lawn mower in your kitchen – this one wont.
7. It’s highly efficient. The way to know a good juicer is to check how dry the pulp is. Wet pulp is a sign of poor efficiency – most of the juice gets left in the pulp. A good juicer will give you pulp that is completely dry.
8. It’s easy to assemble and take apart, which means it’s also easy to clean.
9. Its made to last – its made of quality materials that have a heavy feel – most Omega juicers are described as having that sturdy feel and look of things that were made to last forever. Their 10 year warranty on this juicer is a guarantee that you’re getting a good product.
10. It’s small enough not to hog space on your kitchen counter – and if it does, because it’s easy to take apart, you can always store it away between uses.

There’s only one con to this juicer, and that’s the fact that you have to dice everything in advance of juicing. It comes with a small feeding tube, about 1.5” wide so most fruit and veggies will have to be in small pieces to go in there.

Other than that, it comes highly recommended, especially for those who don’t need to make a glass of juice in a big rush; this is probably the best that you can get. In fact, for your mom or grandma, or your old aunt, who usually have time on their hands and would do well with a glass of fresh juice often, why don’t you get them one as a gift? At $300, they’ll love you for it. Don’t forget to get yourself one too if you want to get your juice with all the nutrients in it – it’s only the Omega range that gives you that advantage.

Omega have revolutionized the way your kitchen works. They have a great new juicer – not quite sure that juicer is the name for it because it does so much more. If you love to work in the kitchen, this juicer is a must have – it will make it all that much more fun. It will do literally all your juicing, grinding and mincing, and guess what, it will extrude pasta too. Close in design to the Omega J8003, it comes with the same functions but you get it in stainless steel.

Why is it so special?

1. The 1/3 horsepower motor is the highest as far as juicer motors go. It packs with so much power, the reason why it’s able to do a multitude of functions.
2. Most juicers come with high RPM’s. This one is different. It does 80 rotations per minute. And what does that give you? It gives you foam free juice. It also gives you juice that’s cool to drink right away. High rotations tend to add a bit of temperature to your juice.
3. It won’t clog – it has a built-in mechanism that reverses any bits that haven’t been juiced back into the system so that everything gets crushed. The result is a really smooth juice.
4. Because of the low RPM’s it retains all the nutrients in your juice – your vitamins and minerals come out intact.
5. It’s a quiet operator; you’d imagine that with all that it can do, it must make a lot of noise. After all, most juicers do. Not this one. It’s not hush hush quiet, but you don’t have to turn it off every time you want to say something.
6. It highly efficient – the pulp comes out dry. Dry pulp means that all the juice is squeezed out and there’s no waste. And depending on what you’re juicing, you can use the pulp either for soups or feed it to the dog.
7. Speaking of the dog, its great for making fresh dog food too – juts throw in whatever you want for pup’s dinner and he can have a fresh home-made meal just like everyone else.
8. It’s a breeze to clean. It comes apart easily and it’s got its own special brush. A bit of a tip here – never let your juicer stand and dry out after use. It will be harder to clean. Get water onto it before any pieces get dry and stuck.
9. Its rust proof – made of stainless steel parts, you’ll not get it rusting like many other juicers in the market do. And it’s compact and stable too – it has a great quality look and feel.
10. It looks great on your counter. It doesn’t take too much space and because of its color, it blends in well with your other kitchen equipment.

What’s not to like? If you’re not into chopping and dicing, that’s the only thing.  Because of a small feeder, it means that you have to pre-chop everything. But I’d trade that one in for all the other things that this juicer can do. And I didn’t talk about how you get to mince and grind – its all at the touch of a button. Simply adjust settings to whatever you want to do and you’re good to go.

A worthwhile buy, definitely a keeper. It comes in at a higher price than other juicers in the market but you can see why. It will be a $300 well spent.

There are some inventions that are simply awesome. They do great things that literally transform life. And then there are those that do many great things that transform life. In the kitchen, you’re talking about an Omega J8003 Nutrition Center Single-Gear Commerical Masticating Juicer. It will change your food preparation greatly because it does so, so much. Maybe it should not have been called a juicer at all because it can do so much more than juice. Here’s what it will do: it will juice your fruits and veggies, it will make your baby’s food, it will make you great tasting peanut butter (because its fresh), it will grind coffee beans, it will extrude pasta (spaghetti, linguine, nozzles), it will mince herbs and spices and even make flour. And guess what? It can make dog food too – just throw in whatever mix you want your dog to have and it comes out ready for pup to have a home-made feast for a change!

Let’s have a bit of a critical look at it:

1. It comes with a 1/3 horsepower motor – the reason why it can take such a great variety of loads.
2. It does all the loads at low speed – 80 rotations per minute. Now, you may be thinking that this is not such a good thing considering that some juicers come at 400 rotations per minute. But if you want to keep in all the nutrients in the juice, it’s essential that you don’t rotate it too fast. And also because you’re making it nice and slow, it comes out cooler and more refreshing.
3. Another advantage of the slower speed is that you get no foaming – most juicers will give you your juice looking like a glass of beer with all that foam, but not this one.
4. It has an in-built food reversal system. This means that any bits that get past without being chopped up and crushed will be reversed automatically and get a chance to get juiced – and it will do this until everything is juiced.
5. It has pulp ejection for continuous juicing – you don’t have to stop every short while to get pulp out and continue juicing. And don’t throw out the pulp too – use it to make richer soups.
6. Most juicers don’t do wheatgrass – this one does with no trouble at all.
7. It’s easy to assemble and take apart. A good point if you want to keep it away after use.
8. Its super efficient – the pulp from whatever you juice comes out dry. Just make sure your veggies go in fresh and crisp.
9. You must be wondering how it does all the other things we mentioned that it can do – it’s all setting adjustment and control. Just change the settings to juice, grind or extrude.
10. It’s built heavy and to last. Many users have compared it to a tank – it has that heavy feel that things had a long time ago when they were made to last forever.
11. It’s easy to clean. Because it’s easy to take apart, cleaning it is a breeze. And it comes with its own cleaning brush. Don’t let things dry on it after use – always better and easier if you clean it straightaway.
12. Its quiet – not whisper quiet, but not as loud as many other juicers. Most masticating juicers come with a din, so this one is definitely an improvement.

You must be thinking it can’t be all that, that there must be something you need to watch out for before you buy? Not much, except that the feeding tube is quite small. You’ll have to chop up everything in advance to get it through the tube. But to be fair, that’s made up for by all the other things that this juicer can do. Other than that, you have a 100% value juicer.

If you’re a kitchen-person, and love to make all kinds of things fresh in your kitchen, this one is a must-buy. They come at about $250, but its money well spent. Get yourself one – you’ll live to love it. And it comes with a 10 year warranty; good proof of quality.

If you’re looking to start eating healthy, juices are one way to go. And not carton-packed, on-the-go, supermarket juices. You can make your own juices at home and they’ll be a whole lot healthier for several reasons. They’ll be made of fresh fruit, so no shelf life. They’ll have no chemicals, and they’ll have no added sugars (many manufacturers will say that they don’t add sugar, but they’re bound to sneak in just a little to make it sweeter).

The first thing you need to get is a juicer. They are so many that it’s bound to be confusing. Just to narrow it down for you, let’s talk about one juicer that will give you value –fresh juice and years of service. It’s the Hamilton Beach 67650H Big Mouth Pro Juice Extractor. There are several reasons why it’s recommended as a great juicer:

1. It comes in at 1.1 horsepower. That’s the highest as far as juicers go. Horsepower is what gives the juicer speed and power to crush. With this one, you’ll get great speed and it can juice a whole variety of fruits and veggies. A glass of juice takes just seconds.
2. It can take in large chunks of food and juice them quite well. You won’t need to chop and dice like you do with most juicers. The feed tube is 3”wide.
3. It easy to assemble and take apart. It’s quite a chunky piece so being able to take it apart for storage is definitely a plus.
4. It’s highly efficient. Compared to a normal juicer, you’ll get 24% more juice – all the pulp is squeezed dry and there is no waste. And by the way, since you’ve made up your mind to eat healthy now, don’t throw out that pulp. Use it in soups, especially if its vegetable pulp. You can enrich a soup greatly by adding carrot or spinach pulp to it.
5. It has latches to keep the lid on – that means its accident and mess free. And it leaves you to do other things as it juices.
6. It comes with a pulp bin – all the more reason why you should collect that pulp and use it for other cooking.
7. It comes with a 20 ounce juice cup – enough for a glass for an average family.
8. Since all parts are removable, it’s easy to clean. It comes with its own special brush to clean the blades. All you need to do is run water over it and then pass your brush over the blades to make sure that you get all the little bits out. And its dishwasher safe too – it won’t melt.
9. The strainer is made of stainless steel – it will not rust. Watch out for a juicer that has any part that rusts; other than making your juice taste horrible, it’s not healthy at all to have bits of rust in your food.
10. Its nice looking – no one wants an ugly piece of equipment in their kitchen, and this little number will look pretty cool on your kitchen counter. It’s a good size too, so it won’t take up too much space. And if you’re that squeezed for space, remember that you can take it apart and store it away.

What’s not to like about the Hamilton Beach 67650H Big Mouth Pro Juice Extractor? Nothing at all. Make sure that whatever you want to juice is crisp and fresh – it increases efficiency. Most people who are not happy with it talk about it having more juice in the pulp than in the cup, but they may be juicing things that are not very fresh. Keep your veggies refrigerated if you want to have them crisp at the time of juicing. Otherwise, it’s a juicer to love. Go for it, it will be a good use of $80.

If we could give it a name, it would probably be the “mother of all juicers”. And for good reason. You can juice literally any juicable thing, its fast; it looks cool, its easy to clean and its mess free. Really, if you juice often, the Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt compact Juice Fountain is the way to go. Before you go for it, let’s have a look at what you’ll find:

1. Whole carrots, beets and small apples, pineapples (even with the rind on), strawberries; if it can be juiced, this juicer will do it for you. Most juicers are limited to what they can juice by the blades and the motor, but this one comes powerful enough to juice almost any kind of fruit that does not have a pit in it.

2. It will get you your juice in less than 10 seconds – actually make that 5 if all you’re looking for is one cup. Its super fast.

3. Maybe you are into technical details? It’s super fast because it has a 700 watt motor that gives 14,000 rotations per minute. You can see how you get that cup of juice in 5 seconds flat.

4. It’s easy to clean – those hard to reach parts are not so hard to clean any more because it comes with its own specially designed cleaning brush.

5. If you don’t want to hand wash it (which takes another 5 seconds after you’re done washing) you can throw it into the dishwasher – its dishwasher safe.

6. The feed tube is large – no need to chop up your fruit or veggies before you feed them into the juicer. A whole, large size carrot will fit easily, sop you can begin to get the idea.

7. The basket is easy to remove – you don’t need an extra appliance as with most other juicers in the market.

8. The inner design is well thought out – it has a dual knife assembly, which centres your fruit or veggies, chops and minces them and then forces them against the stainless steel mesh. Its squeezes them all out, giving you more juice in an instant. The left-over fibre in the mixer is practically dry of juice.

9. It can juice fruit that has hard rind on it – yes, you can get your pineapple in there for a fresh glass of pineapple juice.

10. Lastly, the space age design is space saving. It has a small footprint which means it will take up minimum space in your kitchen. And best of all, its good-looking. It’s likely to give your kitchen a face lift.

Your morning glass of juice just got easier with the Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt compact Juice Fountain. If you like your juice really fine, with absolutely no fruit sediment at all, you may not like this juicer so much – it leaves in just a bit of sediment, which is good roughage for your digestion anyway. Otherwise, not much else to look out for when it comes to this one. Its $100 well spent, and it will last you a long time. It comes with a 1 year warranty on parts by the way, so you can be sure you are not getting a lemon (no pun intended ).

If you are looking for fresh juices big and small, you should be looking at Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor.  Well known s a Martha Stewart favourite, it will do all your juicing with minimum hustle. Its design actually got other juicer makers to wake up and start making juicers that were more user-friendly. Before it came along, you had to cut and dice anything you wanted to juice. With the Breville 800, it does all the cutting, dicing, slicing and juicing for you. It’s packed with features that make it the handiest juicer you can have. Let’s have a look at some of them:

1. It comes with 1000 watt horsepower and 2 speed controls – you choose depending on what you’re juicing and how quickly you want to juice it. The speed controls are 13,000 rotations per minute and 6,500 rotations per minute – pretty powerful stuff.
2. The feed tube is wide enough to take whole fruit. You can throw in a whole apple, carrot, pear and vegetables too without having to chop and dice to fit them in.
3. Its super fast – it takes just 5 seconds to get you a glass of juice. And that’s notwithstanding that you threw in a whole fruit to begin with.
4. It comes with pulp ejection. The pulp goes into a separate container. And just in case you’re wondering, the pulp is squeezed dry – no left over juice that you have to throw out with the pulp.
5. It works juice into a smooth consistency – no surprising lumps like you get with other old juicers.
6. It comes with a juicing pitcher – once done, all you have to do is pour straight into glasses.
7. It can do large quantities of juice for those big occasions.
8. It comes in die-case steel moulding, a stainless steel micromesh filter and a titanium plated cutting disk – all proof of durability. The cutting disk has 115 little knives, the reason why your juice comes out with such smooth consistency.
9. From hearing it described, you may be wondering about the noise levels of this juicer. Wonder no more, it’s totally noiseless.
10. Lastly, though a bit larger than your average kitchen juicer, it will fit well on your counter top and look good too – the steel finish is bound to go with just about everything you have in your kitchen.

You must be asking by now if there are any cons to this juicer. Hard to find other than the fact that it’s heavy – about 21 pounds. You need to place it where you’re not required to move it often. Other than that, there is really nothing more to look out for – the Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor is a great investment. It may come in at a bit of a higher price than other regular juicers (about $300), but for the number of years you’ll have it, it’s worth the extra penny.

Sometimes you don’t have the time. You’re on the move. Its work, then more work, then home, chores and it’s endless. But you still have to stay healthy, after all where are you going to get all that energy to keep going?

A glass of fresh juice comes highly recommended. Sometimes, because of all the pressure, we go for store bought, but it’s not the same thing. A glass of fresh juice, made using fresh fruit or veggies in your kitchen, is much more nutritious, and in some ways, I think more fulfilling – knowing that you did it yourself.

So how do you go about squeezing in a glass of fresh juice into your busy schedule? Get yourself a Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor. It will work well and fast and make sure that you get your glass of fresh juice on time. It’s a great juicer and for many reasons. Let’s see why:

1. You’ll get a whole quart of juice in a minute – and I mean 60 seconds flat. It’s that fast. With a 600 watt motor, you get enough speed to crush fruit and vegetable really fast.

2. We are talking about being squeezed for time here, so you want something that you can clean easily – it comes apart and all you have to do is run some water over it. And by the way, however much you’re squeezed for time never let your juicer lie uncleaned after use. Little bits will stick and it will be even harder to clean. This one comes with its own special brush so if you get to it fast enough, it should not take you more that 3 minutes to clean and keep away.

3. Its feeder is wide – no need to chop anything before you put it through – another time saver. And the fact that you can feed whole fruits doesn’t mean that anything comes out uncrushed – you’ll still get a smooth juice in the end.

4. It’s got a separate pulp container – all that you’re left with in the jug is juice. You can choose to throw away the pulp, but remember that pulp, especially vegetable pulp, is good for soups. If your dog doesn’t mind it, you can feed it to him too – extra roughage and good for him.

5. Speaking of pulp, this juicer is highly efficient. It will give you much more juice than other juicers in the market. This is because it completely squeezes out your pulp. Some juicers will leave a mushy pulp, but not this one.

6. The filter basket is made of stainless steel. Why is this a good thing? You’ll never get rust on it. Watch out for a juicer that has any bits that rust – rust is not good for you.

7. Its cover locks into place – no mess with little veggie or fruit bits flying around. And you don’t have to stand around holding onto the lid while it juices.

8. We’re saving time here. How about it comes with a book that contains 40 juice and food recipes? You don’t have to put any more time into looking for good recipes – they come with the juicer.

9. If you don’t like the look of electrical cords all over your kitchen counter, this juicer will be perfect for you – the cord wraps into the bottom, and you only need to take out however much of it to reach your power source.

10. Lastly, it comes with a year’s warranty – good proof of quality.

No more excuses why you cant get a glass of fresh juice on the go. The Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor has made it so much easier.

Wondering whether there’s really anything negative about this juicer you should know about? Nothing. It does all its promised to do, and you’ll be pretty happy for about $150 well spent.Go for it and use it every day – you need the extra boost of energy for those extremely busy days.

With so much in the market today, we pretty much have to research everything we buy. And research could take hours, because every little thing you want comes in many makes and from all different companies. Well, if you’re looking for a juicer, this review should help you make a quick decision. The Brevilla J95XL Two-Speed Juice Fountain Plus is one of the best when it comes to juicers. It does all that it’s promised to do, is easy to clean and maintain and it works fast.

To answer all the questions you may have running through your mind right now about it, let’s have a look in a bit more detail:

1. It comes with 850 watts of power and 14,000 RPMs and that’s pretty high as far s juicers go. That means speed and good crushing ability. You can get a glass of juice in 5 seconds.
2. It’s been made to adjust to juicing load – if you put in just the single apple, it will adjust to the required amount of power to do just that one apple efficiently. If you put in more, same thing happens – it adjusts and you get your juice just as good.
3. It comes with a 2-speed electric control. Depending on what you’re juicing, you can adjust the speed control to suit you. For softer fruits or veggies, the lower speed will do. Hard green apples will need you to switch to the higher speed.
4. It comes with a large feeding chute – no need to chop veggies or fruits before you put them in. You can get whole apples in and good chunks of vegetables and still get the same excellent results – a really smooth juice.
5. It’s easy to clean. It comes apart pretty easily so that you can throw everything into the sink and be done with cleaning it in less than 5 minutes. The parts are all dishwasher safe to (except the motor), so you can dump them in there and not worry about them melting. As with most kitchen appliances, do your best to clean them right after use so that you don’t get bits of food drying on it that make it much harder to clean afterwards.
6. It comes with a separate pulp container. For those who like to experiment in the kitchen, pulp is an excellent way to enrich meals. Don’t throw it out, especially veggie pulp. Spinach or carrot pulp will thicken a soup and get some roughage in it too.
7. The one litre juice jug means that one extraction is enough for the family – run the juicer and pour straight into glasses.
8. The micromesh filter is made of stainless steel – it means you’ll never get any rust on it, Watch out for rusty parts on a juicer – they’ll probably get into your juice and could be dangerous.
9. If you don’t like froth in your juice, this one is excellent for you – it has a froth separator.
10. It’s beautiful – it comes in a chrome color and a transparent smoked pitcher that will look pretty cool on your kitchen counter. And don’t worry about it taking up too much space – it’s got a small base so unless you’re really squeezed for space, it should work for you. And if you are, you can always disassemble and keep it away between uses.

Is there anything not to like? Nothing – it’s perfect for high speed juicing and its made to last. It comes with a 1 year warranty so you can be guaranteed that you’re getting a quality piece.

Mamma said that fresh juice is good for you. Mamma also probably said that Black and Decker is a good brand. What Mamma probably didn’t say is that the Black & Decker CJ525 CitrusMate is a great juicer. If you’re not juicing for grandma, grandpa and the whole clan at Thanksgiving, this is the perfect little juicing gadget to have. It’s handy for every-morning fresh juice because it’s fast and will give you just the right amount of juice for you and your family to get you going. It may be a bit manual compared to other juicers in the market, but considering that it’s designed to make small amounts of juice at one time, its no hassle at all.

So what do you get?

1. It can get you a litre of fresh juice nice and easy – the jug is sizeable.
2. You can adjust pulp control so that you get just as much pulp as you want in your juice. Some people like a little, some people like a lot, and some none at all. With this one, you get to choose.
3. It comes with different sized cones for different sized fruits – just change the cone to fit the size of the fruit you want to juice.
4. It doesn’t work with an on/off switch – all you need to do, once the fruit is on the cone, is apply pressure and you get pulping away.
5. Once done, all you need to do is take the pitcher and pour straight into a glass. And cleaning it is easy – just run it under the tap.
6. The motor and the jug are separate, making cleaning safe – there’s no chance you’ll mess the motor by getting water on it. Also, the power cable fits under the base, and you’re able to pull out just as much cable as you need. No more cables all over your kitchen counter that are liable to cause accidents.
7. For juice punches, it’s excellent. The jug has markings so you can tell how much of what fruit has gone in and move on to juice the next one.
8. The pulp that’s left behind is all dry – it has a strainer that strains all the pulp hard to make sure that all the juice is extracted.
9. It rotates both ways – getting out all the fruit while pulping it at the same time.
10. It’s got a small, handy design that won’t take up too much space in your kitchen. It also looks pretty neat, and will look nice sitting on your kitchen counter.

Any cons to this little juicer? Yes; you cannot throw it into the dishwasher as the parts will melt. Also, if for any reason you decide to pulp a large amount of fruit, your hand may get a bit sore from all the holding the fruit to put pressure on it. Other than that, it’s a perfect juicer for home use and for small groups.

Make sure to get one from a legitimate supplier – that way, you don’t get imitations made of cheap material that break easily. For under $50, it’s really the best in its range.

Healthy eating is in. And healthy eating means fruits and veggies in good quantity in addition to all the other food that we eat every day. With the Waring JEX328 Health Juice, you now have a variety of ways to take in your meal healthy – you don’t have to chomp on fruit and veggies all the time. You can get a juice in no time. The Waring has taken juice extraction to the next level. What makes the Waring so special? Let’s have a look:

1. You can juice literally anything: carrots, beets, spinach, apples, pears cucumbers – anything that’s a fruit or a veggie will go into this juicer and come out as juice.
2. It’s powerful – with a high speed 400 watt motor, you get a glass of juice in seconds.
3. It comes in brushed stainless steel – this means no rust at all, a big problem for many juicers.
4. It’s easy to put together and use – it comes with a user manual that’s actually helpful, something that’s rare and to be appreciated these days.
5. It comes with a pulp collector. This may not seem like a big deal to everyone, but pulp can be used to enhance soups if you’re creative enough. It’s a great way to make sure that no part of your veggies or fruit get wasted. Consider it also as a great source of roughage – great for digestion.
6. The juice is smooth – nothing goes past the blades uncrushed and you’ll not have any surprising lumps between sips.
7. The fruits and veggies are completely squeezed out, an important efficiency factor in a juicer. Pulp that still looks wet means that all the juice wasn’t extracted – that’s waste.
8. It comes with a juice collector – 32 ounces. The juice drops down from the extractor straight into the collector and all you have to do is pull it out and pour into glasses. Its mess free too because it comes with an easy-pour spout.
9. It comes apart easily for cleaning.
10. It’s nice and pretty – the stainless steel finish is going to look good next to anything in your kitchen. And it doesn’t have ugly stains after its cleaned – all you need to do is wash and dry it off and it looks nice and shiny.

Any cons to this juicer? Yes, it can be hard to clean between the blades. Little bits get stuck there and you may have to buy a special hard brush to get them out. A tip here is to use hot water when you’re cleaning it, and run it over for a while. It makes all the little bits come out faster. Its also not dishwasher safe, the parts will melt.  Other than that, be ready also for the noise – it makes a bit of racket while it’s getting your juice out. That’s all there is to look out for.

If you’re into healthy eating, and especially if you spend quite a bit of time preparing meals in your kitchen, this is the juicer to get. You can keep cooking while its going – no need top watch over it.

Overall, it’s an excellent purchase. It comes with a 5 year warranty on the motor so you can be sure that you’re getting a pretty good deal, and should anything go wrong, you can always have parts replaced at no fee. Go ahead and make the purchase, it will be $50 well spent.

Most people have seen commercial advertisements for the Jack LaLanne PJEB Power Juicer Express. Although the juicer looks fabulous when featured in television ads, it has received quite a few negative customer reviews. The juicer is rated 3 out 5 stars on Amazon.com and multiple customers have had bad experiences with the product.

In the TV ads, the PJEB Power Juicer Express is described as a small but fast juicer that offers plenty of power. The compact juicer does not take up much counter space, but it may not be as powerful as advertised. Many customers find that the PJEB Power Juicer motor is anything but powerful. The motor tends to stall during the juicing process and some customers say that their juicer motor completely stopped functioning after one or two uses.

Although the juicer functions fairly well with soft fruits such as berries, it has a difficult time turning harder fruits and vegetables into juice. According to TV advertisements, the juicer has no problem turning a whole apple into juice, but according to multiple customer reviews, the machine does not have the strength to juice a whole apple. Even when an apple is cut into small pieces, the juicer struggles to make apple juice. The small juicer is difficult to clean, and it can take quite some time to clean out the small pieces of fruit and vegetables that are caught in the blade.

The product is not cheap. The Jack LaLanne PJEB Power Juicer Express retails for $99.99 - $119.99. Although some people have a good experience with their Jack LaLanne Juicer, many people regret making the purchase. Even if someone is lucky enough to get a juicer with a fully functioning motor, the juicer is too small for most. Those who are looking for a heavy-duty juicer that is capable of making juice for more than one person at a time should choose a larger juicer model that has a reliable motor.

If you are so lonely that you would pay money for people to talk to you, no matter how rude they are, then the Jack LaLanne JLPJB Power Juicer Juicing Machine is for you. If you enjoy promises made, but not kept, then again, this is the juicer for you. If you like to order things because the info commercial made them look so wonderful, then you will order this product. If you like to get things in the mail, plug them in and watch them smoke...

This counter top juicing machine boasts both a, whisper-quiet motor, and a three star rating on Amazon. It will not be long before the whisper-quiet motor turns to a roar, and your screaming at the customer service rep on the phone falls upon a deaf ear.

Look, this is a nice juicer for a first time juicer. Perhaps your five-year old tells you he is interested in juicing. Well, get him this juicer, by all means. He will never figure out how to put it together, so he will never have to be frustrated by it breaking down. Also, when you dial customer service and hand your child the phone, him and the customer service rep can talk gibberish and baby talk to each other all day long, saving you the time, and hassle.

Perhaps you think this review has spent a lot of time discussing poor customer service, and not enough time talking about the finer points of this juicer. Well, if the convenient price tag of this juicer was worth all of the headaches, then the poor customer service they have would not be a valid talking point. However, the affordable price is not worth what happens to your life as soon, and soon is the operable word, as your juicer breaks down on you. Why, it is almost like taking your precious time and putting it into a cheap juicer, and when the machine jams up, you spend what little time you have left unclogging the pulp it has made of your spare time.

The consumers who gave reviews for the Jack LaLanne JLSS Power Juicer Deluxe were divided in their opinion of the product.  The juicer is made with a stainless steel exterior and blade.  It has an extra-large round feeder, a super-sized detachable pulp collector, a whisper-quiet 3,600 RPM motor with stainless steel, surgical quality blades and is dishwasher safe.

Out of 141 consumer reviews, 40 gave the product five stars, 31 gave it four stars, making it 71/141 positive reviews.  One star was given to the product by 40 people, 17 gave it two stars and 13 were in the middle; thereby showing a clear divide in the overall satisfaction of the product.   The most positive consumer reviewer, who gave a 5-star rating, stated that the machine worked better if soft vegetables preceded the harder vegetables.

The reviewer felt the juicer did not do well with grasses, (naming lemongrass and berries) particularly if they were not followed with a hard vegetable or fruit upon insertion.  The reviewer strongly suggests putting the parts on the top shelf of the dishwasher only, avoiding the heating elements of the dishwasher.  Other five-star reviewers made positive statements such as: the juicer is easy to assemble, disassemble and clean up; it is well-designed and well-built; many said the machine is quiet.  Many liked the larger spout, as food did not have to be cut small first.

In the negative reviews, the complaints were consistently about how food would become stuck in the chute, particularly carrots and regular-sized apples.  In contradiction to the positive reviews, many stated that smaller apples, as well as fruit and vegetables had to be cut small.  Many one, two and three-star reviewers complained about leakage and messiness.  The Jack Lalanne JLSS Power Juicer Deluxe cannot be washed at high temperatures, as some parts are actually chrome-colored plastic.

The Jack LaLanne PJP Power Juicer Pro is a device designed to extract juice from fruits and vegetables. The unit is made of stainless steel and comes with a powerful motor which makes 3,600 rotations per minute. This product has received customer ratings placing the overall product at a three and a half star out of five overall rating.

The various customer reviews for this product seemed favorable with some minor disadvantages. One customer found the extraction chute extremely hard to clean. When the unit was taken apart for routine cleaning the pulp and juice ran down the inside of the base, which was corrected with the addition of an O ring.

A few customers had bad experiences with the machine overall in its general performance. Several people stated the unit stopped working after a brief period of time, while one specifically stated it started smoking during use. In general the customers who gave this product a negative review felt the internal parts were of cheap quality.

Many customers did like the machine as a juicer because it worked with the majority of foods they placed in the hopper. They did mention that foods which were heavier such as potatoes, would have a tendency to gum up the inside mechanism so they had to be processed in small quantities. Another common issue was with the pulp not always getting into the bin where it was supposed to end up. Often people had the base and blades covered with the pulpy material, which needed to be cleaned before further use.

Overall, the reviews indicate the unit is difficult to clean and care for, the spout is positioned too low to place a beverage glass under, and the unit has a habit of overheating and not working. This product receives a medium rating from those who have used it, which makes it a somewhat risky purchase.

HealthMaster must have had great intentions when creating this great kitchen appliance, and true to their good intentions, it can do a lot in the kitchen. It does more than just blend or juice – you can use to literally liquefy anything fruit or vegetable and more. It’s great for soups, it’s great for whipping cream, and it’s great for making ice-cream, grating and many more.

Despite their good intentions however, something went a little off and although it can do so much for you, there are a few things about it that might not make it the kitchen appliance of your choice. And these, in my opinion, should be taken seriously, because, despite being Montell Williams endorsed, it still gets a lot of gripes. To be fair, lets do pros and then cons, and then you can make up your mind whether it’s worth it.

Pros

1. It has no peers in its range – yes there is no other kitchen appliance invented yet that does what the HealthMaster LWHM Living Well/Montel 1100-Watt 2-Quarter Fruit and Vegetable Emulsifier can do. It pulverises and liquefies fruit in seconds. For vegetarians especially, it’s a great appliance to have because you can have your veggies done in all forms in the shortest time possible.
2. While doing all this, it retains the foods nutritional value – no loss of vitamins or phyto-nutrients, minerals or anti-oxidants, the things you’re looking to get really from any healthy meal.
3. It comes with an 1100 watt, 2 horsepower motor; lots of power thus the pulverization in seconds.
4. Because of all the things it can do, it replaces a lot of appliances in your kitchen – you can get rid of your blender, your mini chopper, your 10-inch cook's knife, your coffee and spice mill/grinder, your cheese/veggie grater, your juicer, meat grinder, snow-cone maker, ice-cream maker, smoothie maker, soy milk maker, and your latte whip or other milk-frothing device. Put together, the cost of all those would definitely be more than an investment in the HealthMaster.
5. It comes with 8 variable speed settings, all controlled with the touch of a button.
6. It comes with a 2 quart plastic pitcher – large enough to serve a big group.
7. You can do hot foods in it too. It has a steam-release spout.
8. It’s designed with an easy grip handle and a mess-free pour spout.
9. It has an automatic shut-off feature that goes on when the unit is getting overheated.
10. Its dishwasher safe and comes with 4 bonus recipe books.

Cons

1. It rusts after a short while – its been reported to get some rust even during shipping,
2. You must get the installation correct otherwise you won’t get it to turn on.
3. The motor can burn out quite easily – in a month or less depending on how much use you are putting it to.
4. If you get it more than 2/3 full, you’ll get spillage.
5. It’s not so easy to open and close – you have to struggle quite a bit.
6. It’s noisy and its big – it will take up quite a bit of space on your counter top.

The choice is really yours – if you want a gadget that can transform anything fruit or veggie into liquid form, and without losing the nutrients, and that can make a multitude of other culinary delights, go for it. It comes with a warranty of 100 years (!), so that’s a bit of a consolation.
