 juicer June 27, 2008
Anne B. Jackson (Cayman Islands)
I like the juicer but there are a couple design problems. The spout does not open up very much. The base stops the spout thus if you are not careful the juice backs up if it is somewhat thick. I like to make enough juice to fill a 12-16oz cup. This won't fit under the unit. I have solved this by placing the juicer on a high counter with the spout over the edge. I then catch the juice with a funnel placed in the cup. I was determined to make this purchase work out. Other helpful hints, keep a blender near by for your bananas and papaya these will not work in the juicer. Then mix your juice from the juicer into the blender to blend. Enjoy, where there is a will there is a way.
 Not the best product. June 18, 2008

The concept is great of juicing your way to health but the design has alot to be desired. If you're not careful, you will wind up with pulp all over the walls. So not only are you cleaning the juicer but spending extra time cleaning the walls too. The info-mercial raves about how little pulp there is in the collector unit but what they fail to show you is how much also accumulates on the underside of the top piece of the unit. The big selling point was the 3 easy payments. I thought about returning it within the first 30 days but figured since I paid so much for shipping, I might as well keep it and deal with the shortcomings. Juicing is still a good option.
Note: I also have another Braun juicer from 20 years ago or so and it still works great and there's no chance of the pulp hitting the walls on that one. The only thing with this one is that the chute is very small. I will be taking this juicer to the office so I can juice at work.
 Wasted fruit and money. June 10, 2008

I have to agree with others who have said this machine is wasteful. When Jack mentions you can extract more juice for just pennies I thought, "Hey why not give it a try." However, after trying this product we can't justify the cost since we buy organic fruit. By the time the juicer is done most of what you and I would eat ends up in the pulp collector and we're rewarded with only a measly amount of juice.
Not to mention that there is over six pieces to clean after each use. Moreover in the TV infomercial Jack puts whole fruits in the juicer with piths, leaves, and even the stems. In reality, the instructions advise you against doing such a thing. Overall, in the long run it would be more cost effective and healthier if you just stuck with your blender.
Don't buy this--very bad machine April 4, 2008

When I heard that Jack's machine would take whole apples, I seemed to have lost all sense and ordered his juicer, which I believed would be an upgrade from my Mr. Juiceman. It's time consuming to cut products to fit the juicer. What Jack fails to mention in his ads--his chute does take apples, but only small ones, the ones you usually don't buy. Thus, I'm still cutting products, same as usual.
I juice all kinds of fruits and veggies and have over many years. If you are new to the experience of juicing, you will quickly learn that better made, more professional models are $400-500. Thus, you must choose these lower cost models, that despite their glitz are largely made of plastic. The only thing going for this Jack LaLanne model is that they used good sense in making the plastic black. Despite every good cleaning, white plastic models take on fruit/veggie stains that over time are very difficult to remove.
This machine constantly chokes, too-often fails to juice despite pressure placed on the chute, or it stops entirely with constipation. If I'm not wrestling with a stuck chute, I must stop the machine in the middle of juicing, dislodge the partially juiced products, dealing with mess. It's not a fun experience.
I cannot say I had a better experience with the Juiceman model except to say that it was far more reliable than this one and less messy.
May I suggest for anyone who intends to buy a juicer to do their homework? Check for the speed of juicing--which affects the quality of juice. Check the size of the chute and how the juicer handles root veggies (hard veggies like carrots and beets), soft and thick leafies. If poorly constructed, you will not get the best benefits of the juice and much product may be going to the garbage instead as juice to your mouth.
Each time I use this Jack LaLanne model, I have to laborously wrap leafies around carrots or apples or be sure that I clear the machine with a juicy veggie (like a cucumber), before plotting to juice the next item.
There's too much involved using this machine. It's a mess. Don't buy it.

This is the best juicer out there. It juices just about anything and the clean up is a breeze. It comes with two blades and disassebles easily too!
