Omega J8004 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer, White

Omega J8004 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer, White



Omega J8004 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer, White
Identical to the J8006, better than the J8005, and a most cost-effective juicer for greens
UPDATE: As of March 11, 2013, the J8006 (identical, but with a chrome look), was temporarily $209 on Amazon (sold by Amazon, itself). This had always been a more expensive color. Please be sure to compare and buy strictly on price between these two models. Enjoy!

My wife and I have had this for two months of intense juicing of cabbage and occasionally broccoli. My wife had multiple stomach and duodenal ulcers from medications due to a spinal injury and we combed the internet looking for studies on the best home remedies, as prescription antacids were not healing her. We chanced across two studies on raw cabbage juice healing ulcers in a matter of weeks, so that led me to research juicers.

There are four basic types of juicers. In order of general effectiveness (least effective to most effective) on greens, they are as follows:

1. Spinning blade/centrifugal ($50-$200)
2. Single-gear masticating (like this one) ($200-$350)
3. Double-gear...

The Great Masticator: Omega 8004/8006 perfect for lazy first-time juicers like me


An Awesome Juicer & Great Investment
This is my first juicer and I am thrilled I made the right choice. I researched for about a month before I got my tax return and pulled the trigger, and it has turned out to be a great investment in my health. The machine is extremely durable as it has a full 15 year warranty. This is exactly the same model as the Omega J8006 that everyone loves so much (according to reviews) with the only difference being that it's white. A cosmetic difference but I'd rather keep the 40 bucks and be a little less fancy personally. Works great with everything I've thrown at it so far from wheatgrass to celery to carrots, apples, yams, pears, kiwis, zucchini, ginger, you name it. The only exception and this was an early mistake I made after I first got it and that is you don't want to juice bananas. Too mushy and just makes a mess. Extremely easy to take apart and clean though so within 5 minutes it was clean and ready to go again. Pulp comes out very dry so it is very efficient as well. All in all I...

Omega J8004 Nutrition Center Single-Gear Low Speed Masticating Juicer, White

The Omega J8004 Nutrition Center is a masticating style juicer. Sometimes referred to as a low speed juicer, the Nutrition Center processes at 80rpm, whereas most other juicers process at a speed of 1,650 to 15,000rpm. The low speed protects and maintains healthy enzymes, prevents oxidation and allows juice to be stored up to 72 hours without degradation. The GE Ultem Auger is 8x stronger than most other plastics and the powerful gear reduction is equivalent to a 2HP Motor. The dual stage juice processing system extracts the maximum amount of juice from fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, even wheatgrass! You can also use the nutrition center to turn nuts into nut butters (an all-natural peanut butter), make baby food from natural, fresh ingredients, whip up soy milk, extrude pasta, grind coffee and spices, and mince herbs and garlic. Make delicious and nutritious drinks and snacks that everyone will love. Measuring 7in wide, 15.5in deep and 8.5in tall.



  • Masticating juice extractor with powerful single-gear commercial motor
  • Dual-stage juicing; low speed of 80 RPMs means no foaming, clogging, or heat build-up
  • High yield with very dry pulp; auto pulp-ejection for continuous operation
  • Easy to assemble, operate, and clean; UL- and cUL-approved; runs quietly
  • Ships in Certified Frustration-Free Packaging
  • Measures 14-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 15-1/2 inches; 15-year warranty

Sunpentown CL-851 Professional 850-Watt Juice Extractor

Sunpentown CL-851 Professional 850-Watt Juice Extractor



Sunpentown CL-851 Professional 850-Watt Juice Extractor
The Best yet
If your looking for the best in value, performance,and liability, look no further. I've had several juicers,& lemons. The shute Sunpentown CL-851 Professional 850-Watt Juice Extractor is wide mouth so very little slicing if any is needed. More than enough power with this 850-watt. The extractor filter is all stainless steel, no plastic to discolor or break. Clean up is a breeze also. I wash by hand except the extractor filter which gets put in on the top rack of the dishwasher. Quiet too. You'll love also the juice jug included too.

Sunpentown CL851 Juice Extractor
For the price, this unit appears to be a very solid appliance. The base is aluminum and the extractor filter holder and filter are stainless steel. However, after 3 weeks of use three times a day making carrot juice, the plastic fin at the bottom of the feed chute broke off. The next time I used the juicer the motor quit. I sent the unit to Sunpentown & am waiting for its return. The customer service seems to be good, as they told me that both the plastic cover and the motor were replaced. Nonetheless, I'm really disappointed that the unit only lasted three weeks before needing repair. They apparently have some design & quality control issues.

Works Fine
I have had the unit for about 9 months. It is still working fine. The motor is powerful and can pretty much juice anything. The machine itself appears robust. One exception may be the plastic latches which hold the top cover with the base which contains the motor. They have not yet broken, but I suspect that it will probably happen one day when the unit is dissassembled for cleaning at which point these latches are particularly vulnerable to being hit or caught into something. It is quite easy to clean except in some very sharp corners where food get stuck and the use of a sharp thin knife is necessary to remove it. Overall good unit, does the job right. Comes with a cleaning brush.

Housed in attractive die cast aluminum housing, this powerful 850-Watt juice extractor will add beauty and function. The unit's extra large 3-Inch feed tube makes it easy to process whole fruits and vegetables, without pre-cutting or peeling. Features stainless steel elements and dishwasher safe parts for quick cleanup. Accessories include: 8-Liter juice jug with froth separator, cleaning brush and pulp container

Jack Lalanne's JLSS Power Juicer Deluxe Stainless-Steel Electric Juicer

Jack Lalanne's JLSS Power Juicer Deluxe Stainless-Steel Electric Juicer



Jack Lalanne's JLSS Power Juicer Deluxe Stainless-Steel Electric Juicer
The good, the bad, and the ugly...
First off, let me admit to the fact that I've never owned any kind of juicer before, this one is the first.

We were given the Jack LaLanne Stainless Juicer as a gift from someone who already had one and loved it. I had modestly high hopes for it, not being a big powered-kitchen-gadget fan; but we also have been trying to improve our diets due and lose some weight, so the gift was rather timely to meet that end. I honestly knew nothing about this product until I pulled it out of the box at home. We'd gone to the local big-box store and bought a bunch of stuff to put in the machine and try it out: Kiwis, mangoes, carrots, tomatoes, apples, oranges, pears, ginger root, celery and pineapple.

The Good:

Out of the box I got the impression that this was a sturdy product. All of the parts are fairly simple, that means less stuff to break or clean to me. It assembled in a snap, I didn't even look at the directions (typical guy...I know). Upon firing up...

A Healthy Lifestyle Change
Is it hard 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 is 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...

Don't buy this--very bad machine
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...

Samson / Matstone 6-in-1 Juicer - Model GB9001 - 10 Yr Warranty

Samson / Matstone 6-in-1 Juicer - Model GB9001 - 10 Yr Warranty



Samson / Matstone 6-in-1 Juicer - Model GB9001 - 10 Yr Warranty
Outstanding machine - outstanding company to buy from
I am a huge juicer. Every morning my wife and I juice. We noticed that our juiceman jr was not efficiently juicing our green vegies. It was wasting 90% of them. The green veggies (expensive I might add) went right into the plastic bin hardly touched. I went to Jamba Juice and they explained how an auger presses the green juices - and, that's what Jamba uses for their wheat grass....well, the rest is history. I did my homework and found out that augers are more efficient just like Jamba explained. And, kitchens best walked me through the entire thing. Plus, they offered a 90 day money back warranty. They are incredibly nice and I can't believe they offer that kind of awesome money back gaurantee. Anyway, they are RIGHT about the juicer - it absolutely presses out 95% more green juice than the Jack Lalane and Juice man Jr. styles..and it does a better job on apples, ginger, and everything else too. The ONLY down side is - it's a slower process. But, in life - you can't have...

Great ompany great juicer
I bought the Samson 6 in one to juice wheatgrass and other veggies and am very pleased with this juicer. It does a fine job on wheatgrass especially. I run the wheatgrass pulp through again to get those extra few drops out. The customer service personnel at kitchen best are super polite and helpful as well as knowledgeable about their products. They deliver service that is lacking with most company's these day's. How can you go wrong with a 90 days satisfaction guarantee!!

Great juicer
Being used to the simple cheap spin models, I was put off when I saw all the parts that came with this juicer. However, once I took a minute to look through their instructions manual, it became clear how it all goes together. The reason it looks like so many parts is that there are different nozzles and stuff for the different functions of the machine. The manual has very good color pictures and illustrations so they made it pretty simple, even for someone who (like me) hates reading through manuals.

Much quieter than my spin model, for sure, and the pulp came out much drier as well. Specially with the cucumbers. I was used to having a wet sloppy mess being left over when I tried to juice cucumbers- not so with this juicer.

It looks very sturdy and well put together, and disassembling it and cleaning it (in the kitchen sink, not the dishwasher) took me 3 minutes in all. Not bad.

The Matstone 6-in-1 Juicer is the most well known versatile single auger juicer on the market today. It has also been sold for many years under the brand name Samson 6-in-1 Juicer. Buy the original Matstone factory brand direct today and get the same great juicer at a discounted price over other published brands. The Matstone 6-in-1 single auger juicer has six completely different functions, making this juicer six machines in one! Not only can you extract juice from fruit, vegetables, and wheatgrass, you can also: mince or chop seasonings, mince meats and fish, use as a food mill to make bread sticks, cookies, and pastas, or use to extract oil from sesame seeds (extra attachment required). The Matstone Juicer produces 3 and 1/2 times more juice from vegetables and fruits when compared with existing conventional juicers. Regular high-speed juicers can destroy natural flavors and the nutritional value of vegetables and fruits. With its low 80 RPMs, the Matstone Juicer preserves as much flavor and nutritional value as possible. Juice made with the Matstone Juicer can be stored in the fridge for 48 hours without the loss of flavor, nutrients or appearance. The Matstone is made of U.S. FDA-approved polycarbonate and melamine. The materials are semi-permanent and extremely hygienic. The redesign and reinforcing of the juicing screen combined with the advanced auger design gives a finer juice. The auger design also allows for easier processing of fruit and vegetables. The Matstone Juicer has a built-in safety control device to prevent over-heating and it restarts when it has cooled down. The Matstone Juicer is easy to assemble, disassemble, and clean. It only takes 15 seconds to assemble or disassemble this juicer and about a minute to clean it!

Breville JE95XL Two-Speed Juice Fountain Plus

Breville JE95XL Two-Speed Juice Fountain Plus



Breville JE95XL Two-Speed Juice Fountain Plus
Best of three juicers I tried
I have tried the Jack LaLanne Power juicer, the Breville JE900 (previous model) and this model. By far this one is the best one! First of all, the Jack LaLanne Power juicer had less power than the Breville series, and also the metal mesh screen had bigger holes. So a lot of the times, the juice produced wasn't really smooth. Because it was white it stained easily if you make a lot of carrot juice. Also, cleanup was more work because you have to unscrew the juicing blade every time for a cleanup.

Now onto the Breville series. Quick and easy cleanup, fine mesh screen so the juice is much more smoother, and more power! What makes the JE95XL better than the JE900 is mainly the two speed control. With the JE900, it was so powerful and fast all the time that when I juiced soft fruits like grapes and strawberries, the fruit wouldn't be juiced all the way. Sometimes, I find half-juiced grapes in the pulp container. So I got a lot less juice with the softer fruits. Also, once you...

Wonderful tool, minus the hyperbole
OK I got this juicer just as soon as it came out. I read all the reviews of all the juicers I could find, and it was clear that Breville was the best way to go. And the raves were all about the previous model which had less power and only one speed. I love the juicer but I guess I was expecting a divine product by the review I read. I'll just say it is good quality without drooling all over about it...

PRO'S:
~Great Power
~easy to clean, (do it sooner rather than let stuff dry on)

~smartly designed electrical plug
~motor cannot run if parts are not locked together (for safety reasons)
~product has few angles and many curves, which makes cleaning easier since pulp/juice can be hard to reach where there are corners
~two speeds: fast for power, slow for soft items
~it really can make 8oz juice in 5 seconds!
~huge food chute can accomodate an entire apple... you save time not needing to cut many things pre-juicing.

CON'S:
~tomatoes - even...

Unit failed under light to moderate use... read on to discover the failed part.
I had the Breville JE95XL juicer for a few months and was quite pleased with it. When my daughter visited from college she loved it and so, it went back to school with her.

After a couple of weeks, she called to say that the unit simply stopped working. (Recently she visited again and brought the unit to me.)

The first thing I did was a web search to see if there might be some helpful hints posted somewhere. I found nothing.

So, I read a number of the low ratings on Amazon for this make and model and found many stories that matched my daughter's experience.

Breville does not make it easy to service this, but it is servicable with a little bit of effort... here's how.

Poor Design, Inexcusable.
For an appliance like a juicer, a manufacturer should expect that users might overtax the motor from time to time. So, the solution they should have employed is a simple "reset" button on the bottom of the unit that will reset the...

Waring PCJ218 Citrus Juicer, Stainless Steel

Waring PCJ218 Citrus Juicer, Stainless Steel



Waring PCJ218 Citrus Juicer, Stainless Steel
highly recommended
I have used the Waring PCJ218 juicer for the past 6 months. I juice on average 10 oranges each day. I can state without reservation that this is a good looking, well made, powerful juicer. How good is it? I have purchased 2 additional PCJ218 juicers as gifts. Do I know what I'm talking about? I design machinery for a living. Rarely do I find consumer products to be worthy of praise. This juicer is a real gem at a reasonable price.

When life hands you lemons...
There are two very important things a juicer should do. 1) extract all the juice and b)clean up easily. This juicer does both. The manufacturer calls it slow, but I saw it as very powerful. By the time I juiced my second lemon, I was a pro happily throwing out completely empty half lemon rinds. It costs a little more than some of the other models, but it's also built to last. I'll probably end up having to put it in my will.

The best Juicer - was!
Easy to use, easy to clean. Juices grapefruit, oranges, lemons, limes, and keylimes with no problems. I like it so much I bought one for my Dad for his 70th Birthday! 5 stars!
**
After having used this juicer for over a year (under heavy use - 6 oranges a day) the reamer has started to slip and it makes a grinding noise. The downside of this juicer is that the center post is plastic and not metal. I'm still searching to find out if this post can be replaced. I have loved the juicer and am sorry to say that if you are a heavy juicer then try to get this on sale, if you are the occasional juicer then this will last you a lifetime. Current rating for heavy juicers - 3 stars!

The Waring Citrus Juicer is engineered to perform with the same ease and efficiency that professional kitchens demand. We cushion our heavy metal base for extra quiet operation, and our universal reamer quickly and thoroughly juices the smallest limes to the largest grapefruits. With minimal time and effort you can make juice for the entire family. Removable parts are dishwasher safe, so the cleanup is as easy as the operation.Universal reamer quickly and thoroughly juices small limes to large grapefruitsExtra heavy base for quiet operationJuice Bowl and Reamer lift off base and are dishwasher safe for quick and easy cleaningIf you're looking for a heavy-duty juicer to whip up your morning glass of tangerine-grapefruit juice, look no further. This is a solidly built juicer that you'll want to leave on the counter all the time--and it's heavy enough that you'll want to give it a permanent, accessible spot. Slower than some juicers, it's consistent and powerful, squeezing every last drop of juice from even a large grapefruit. The majority of the pulp collects in the reamer basket--add as much as you like! The spout pours directly into most tumblers up to 12 ounces, and by adjusting the reamer, you can make the operating switch convenient for left- or right-handed users.--Jill Lightner

  • Heavy-duty metal base provides stability while juicing
  • Vibration-absorbing rubber feet keep juicer from slipping

Oklife OKL6063 9-Speed Stainless Steel Juice Extractor
Excellent Juicer-very Easy to use!
This is a very easy juicer to operate and clean! It is durable and very attractive with a high quality stainless steel that goes with other appliances in my kitchen. When I opened the juicer it comes neatly pre-assembled, very nice. I proceeded to juice my favorite juice recipe-celery and carrots, it was so easy and I do like the variable 9 speed. I was able to control the speed level so effortless from the lower level speed up to the 9 speed level. The pulp was very dry which shows that oklife Juicer was able to extract the maximum juice and the juice taste great! What I like most is that Oklife OKl6063 is so easy to use and clean, with just three quick steps, viola, you are ready to juice! I owned a very popular juicer brand but I only used it a couple of times and stopped because it was so difficult to operate it and clean.

I have used my Oklife Juicer every single day since I bought it because it is hassle free and it does the job!

Easy to use and clean :)
I was very pleased with the Oklife 9 Speed Juice Extractor. It was much easier to operate than I expected and my teenagers love using it too! The juice from the fruits and vegetables quickly flowed out into the collection container with no effort. The pulp was very fine and I used it in a batch of muffins and in pancakes for added fiber and nutrition, so nothing was wasted. The Oklife 9 Speed Juice Extractor was also very easy to clean. I sprayed out the micro-filter and placed it and the hard plastic containers in the dishwasher. Overall I am very pleased with the product!

Overall, a good value
Pros: Stainless steel. Variable speed. A display if you really want to see what speed you are using. Wide feed tube. Cleans pretty easily (though I cant compare with other brands). Juice pitcher holds a liter and is molded so its easy to hold and pour. Comes with a stiff cleaning brush.

Cons: No instructions to explain slow speed versus fast speed. No recipe book (not a single recipe to try). Kind of loud. Pulp collects on the clear lid above the catcher (I guess that implies its wet enought to stick).

A pretty good machine for the price (I bought it with a $20 off discount on amazon).

This is not a heavy duty Breville, but it works.
If you want recipes, use google or buy a book.
If you use the wrong speed to extract, just dump the contents of the collector back in.
Its going to be messy regardless of juicer brand so dont be afraid of messy pulp.

There's a oklife youtube video that's helpful.

Oster 3157 400-Watt Single-Speed Juice Extractor, White/Grey

Oster 3157 400-Watt Single-Speed Juice Extractor, White/Grey



Oster 3157 400-Watt Single-Speed Juice Extractor, White/Grey
You can't go wrong at this price
I was looking for a small, inexpensive juicer today that I can use for a couple of months while I'm away from home and found the Oster juicer at my local store. I'd never heard of the brand before but at under $50 it seemed like a bargain. So I grabbed a bag of veggies and dashed back to give it a whirl.

The mouth where you push the veggies through is a decent size but you will need to slice most veggies at least once before you can fit them in. No big deal, takes about 2 minutes to do the whole lot. The motor is really strong and had no trouble chewing through carrots and beets. It has a decent size pulp catcher that's quick and easy to take off when you need to empty it.

I also like the fact that there is not a huge amount of space between the blade and the plastic thing that's used to push the veggies/fruit down, so small bits don't get stuck in the gap like some previous brands I've used.

There's not much bad I can say about it, given the size and...

love it
I got this juicer about a month now, could'nt wa from it to start juicing as soon as it was delivered. This is one powerful little juicer, i juice everything from beets,apples,pears, grapes,celery,etc. it has change my life for the better, I now go more often to the bathroom,my skin looks better and i no longer dring the garbage called juice from the store. Its strong , durable, sterdy and those fruits like nobodys business. love it, go ahead and get it ,it will do your body good.

Great for the price
I thought because this juicer was inexpensive, that it wouldn't juice as well. I am a first time juicer and found this to be an excellent product for the price!

No need to drive to a juice bar for healthy beverages thanks to this convenient appliance. Equipped with a powerful 400-watt motor, the Oster juice extractor quickly and effortlessly turns a variety of fresh produce into delicious, nutrient-rich drinks. Use it to make fresh orange juice to serve to weekend guests in the morning or put it to work churning through celery, carrots, and beets for energy-boosting concoctions after a workout. The unit features a feed chute with a food pusher, a large-capacity pulp-collector container, and an angled spout that directs pure juice into the included 20-ounce jar. Use the jar to serve juice at the table or to store it in the refrigerator for later. Other thoughtful design details include a user-friendly single-speed control dial, a durable stainless-steel filter, a locking arm for safe operation, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. With its sleek, compact design, the juice extractor looks great left out on the counter or can be neatly stored away when not in use

Hurom Slow Juicer Model HU-100S New Silver with Cookbook



Hurom Slow Juicer Model HU-100S New Silver with Cookbook
HU-100B IMPROVED HUROM JUICER
First, I love this juicer. The best juicer on the market is the one that you will use everyday and this is the one for me. It is the fastest to use because it is self feeding. This is a fantastic time saver. I can cut up the produce while the juicer does its work, reducing my juicing time in half. Try to do that with the Super Angel. The YouTube videos I have seen on the Super Angel show the wooden pusher getting quite a workout forcing produce into the twin screws. I haven't taken the Hurom pusher out of the plastic bag yet. The clean-up is also easy and just as fast as with a single horizontal auger juicer. Please note that the parts are not dishwasher safe. Currently, there are at least three Hurom models on the market, namely the HU-100, HU-300 & HU-400. Functionally all three are the same. Differences are in the body, strainer and pin holder. The HU-100 is available in white, silver and black. I have seen a chrome model but it is difficult to get in the USA. The...

Love!
I am so impressed with how much juice the Hurom juicer is able to extract and how little pulp left over. So far I've used it every day, and sometimes more than once a day. I've juiced kale, collard greens, cucumbers, basil, ginger, carrots and their tops, apples, kiwis, watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes, spinach, apricots, oranges, grapefruit, bell peppers, sweet potato, celery, cherries, blueberries, apples, parsley, and lemons. The only one that I've ever had to use the reverse button on is the carrots, so I try to cut them in very small pieces - about the size of a pea. Clean up is easy. It's quiet so I can use it while my husband is still asleep! Plus it looks good.

Great juicer
I was looking for a juicer that would provide a great tasting juice with less waste, and would clean up easily. The new Hurom 100 stainless steel does all that! The juice stays blended with several fruits or vegetables blended together, does leafy greens very well, and is a snap to clean up. I'm totally pleased.

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

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



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

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.

A solid product
(I have rewritten parts of this review as of Apr 1, 2006 after much more usage.) In summary: I am very happy with the juicer.

I was also prompted to write a review because of the person who writes about all the problems with the spout. I think I may know what the problem there is: It sounds like he juices with the spout in the up position instead of down. When juicing, the spout is supposed to be down. In fact, one of the nice things about this juicer is the spout. When you have enough juice or want to remove the juice catcher, lift the spout up and it closes off the flow of juice.

I have found the machine very easy to use and to clean. I was impressed with the cleanup. It takes me about 2 minutes -- literally. Just rinse the parts, scrub the strainer with a stiff brush, and then leave to dry.

I juice a lot of lemons and I have had only minor difficulty: If the lemon is too pointy I have to cut that point off to keep the lemon from spinning in the top...

Breville die-cast commercial-style 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 includes a coarse stainless steel filter and has a brushed stainless die-cast steel housing and motor body. It will be an item that will enhance any kitchen countertop.

  • Powerful citrus press housed in professional-grade brushed stainless steel
  • Industrial strength, whisper-quiet motor; revolutionary active-arm system
  • 1-size-fits-all juicing cone provides maximum juice extraction; drip-stop juice spout
  • 1 coarse stainless steel filter; cord storage; dishwasher-safe parts

DeLonghi DJE950 Die-cast Juice Extractor

DeLonghi DJE950 Die-cast Juice Extractor



DeLonghi DJE950 Die-cast Juice Extractor
Easy, does it all, great value
The large feeding tube makes this juice extractor easy to use (much less chopping and holds plenty). It's a snap to clean and looks really great on the counter. The best feature though is the amount of juice it actually extracts. The pulp left over is practically dry. This is a top quality product at a great price.

My Dry Pulp Juicer
This is a serious juicer. I purchased a new juicer because of all the expensive juice that was left in the very wet pulp of my previous centrifugal juicer, even running the pulp through again. With perpendicular sides the DeLonghi's spinning basket holds the pulp until you remove it. It will continue to spin juice out for as long as you leave it spin or until the pulp becomes very dry. While you have to remove the pulp periodically, it is simple by gently pulling up on the pulp "cage" top edge in a few spots to loosen.

The juice from this machine is clearer with less pulp than my previous juicer, probably because it gets filtered through whatever pulp has already accumulated. It is very fast and its large "mouth" allows much larger pieces and even whole moderate size fruit. Easy to clean, but care must be taken when cleaning the strainer basket to not cut or snag something on the shreding blade at its bottom. Cleans easily. This is a powerful machine, and it is heavy.

Juice extracted! Dry pulp!
I started juicing with an older proctor Silex and I was having some frustrations. The main one was that it ejected the pulp before the juice was all extracted. It was wasteful. Also, it didn't like harder things like carrots... or leaves like Kale (it was pretty picky actually!... I had to insist a lot!). It was time for a serious upgrade!

I read a lot and I was considering a Breville for a while (which I'm sure are really good!) until I saw this one. I love the way it manages the pulp and you can spin it until it's dry. It's easy to clean, it's powerful and it juiced everything I asked it to! It says it's not made for citrus, but I admit I cheat. I peal my citrus before... (I did Lemon, Grapefruit and Oranges)
I can't imagine that people would try to put the peel in that type of juicer anyway. And I let it go slowly and really I don't see how it can be a problem and it goes right through.

The only thing that can be a bit annoying,..... (Sometimes a...

Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor

Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor



Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor
I LOVE this juicer!! (so far...) Beats my Green Power juicer.
We just bought this juicer on Amazon, using the $25 discount and the free shipping. Made it the best price on the internet when we bought it first of December 2005. Before commenting on the juicer, let me tell you what we used before this juicer arrived.

We have a top of the line Green Power juicer. If you know juicers, you know this is one of the best. We've been juicing with it on a daily basis for 10 years and it is still going strong. It has a high juice yield (dry pulp), can juice grasses and greens efficiently (wheatgrass, parsley, spinach etc.), and low temperatures and rpm minimize oxidation so juice lasts a long time. Other advantages are claimed, but these are the biggest for us.

A well-known downside to twin-screw type juicers like the Green Power is that it takes quite a bit of force to push items like carrots into the juicer, because there is no cutting blade action, just the gripping/squeezing action of the twin screws. Frankly, after 10...

The MONSTER of Juicers (and I mean that in a good way)
I have owned this juicer for over a year, and I juice 2-3 times a week on average.

When I first saw this machine in a store demo (W-S), I was amazed at how this thing TORE through everything.

After reading "The Raw Food Detox Diet" by Natalia Rose, I decided to invest in my health. My first purchase? This juicer.

PREVIOUS JUICING EXPERIENCES:
Having juiced with smaller and less powerful machines in the past, I found the process tedious and time-consuming. Not only did I have to cut all the fruits and vegetables into minute pieces, but it took forever to load them. At the end of the process, the amount of juice produced was almost not worth the effort.

I encountered NONE of those problems with this machine.

THIS JUICER:

I call this juicer a monster for several reasons:
-Size: It's big -- really big. It takes up the majority of my NYC kitchen counterspace, but after using it once, I didn't mind its size. Another...

Nice Juicer
I used an Omega 1000 for 7 years. The Omega would often get out of balance (you have to stop juicing, disassemble, clean and start over), has a small feed chute and at times would "spray" some juice from the spout.

The Breville 800 has the following great features:

Big feed chute. You can process 3 regular size carrots at once or three medium apples or oranges (stacked in the feed chute). No cutting needed. The chute is 3" in Dia and 7" tall.

Disassembles quickly. No screws. Fits easily in the dishwasher.

The pitcher included has a spout opening, so there's no overspray. Additionally, the lid is made to separate the foam from the juice.

Never gets out of balance because it's and ejection style juicer. It still does a great job of extracting the majority of juice with the high rpm motor.

Last, it looks very nice on the counter with the stainless steel construction.

High-quality materials for a beautiful kitchen

Providing commercial performance with home kitchen convenience, this juicer runs on 1000 watts with two speeds, 13,000 RPM or 6,500 RPM, for juicing hard and soft ingredients. Beautiful die-cast metal design and power combined.

Efficient and nutritious juicing

Fruit is largely composed of water, but its selling point is its nutritional value. How do you extract the juice from fruit, without leaving the nutrients behind? Breville’s Nutri Disc and patented juicing system extract more nutrients than other juicers and transfers less than 1.8F of heat to protect enzymes and maximize nutrient absorption of select nutrients.

The uniquely designed juicing system features a feed chute that is centered over the shredding disc. This allows for more efficient juicing than systems that introduce ingredients on the side of the shredding disc.

Two speeds allow you to adjust for the type of ingredients you are using. It is suggested that when juicing a variety of ingredients with varying textures, you begin with the softer textured ingredients on low-speed then change to high speed for harder texture ingredients. If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or leafy green vegetables either wrap them together to form a bundle or juice them in the middle of a combination of ingredients on low-speed to obtain the best extraction.

An extra-wide, 3-inch across feed chute makes it possible to feed whole apples, carrots, tomatoes, and peeled oranges into the juicer, saving you time and effort.

Breville 800JEXL Nutri Disc
Nutri Disc with titanium-reinforced blades shreds both hard and soft fruits and vegetables with ease
Two speeds for hard and soft ingredients
Dual speed control with a low speed of 6,500rpm for softer ingredients and 13,000rpm for harder ingredients

While juicing, you may notice juice escaping between the plastic juicer cover and the stainless steel filter bowl surround. Try pushing the Food Pusher down more slowly and using the low speed. When large quantities of fruits and vegetables, especially those with high water content such tomatoes and watermelon, are fed into the Feed Chute at a rapid rate, the stainless steel filter basket coverts these into juice so quickly that the force may cause leaking.

Product features:

  • Heavy-duty 1000 watt motor with dual speed control: a low speed (6,500rpm) for softer fruits and vegetables and a high speed (13,000rpm) for harder fruits and vegetables
  • Patented extra-wide feed chute (3” wide): juice large fruits and vegetables with little to no cutting or preparation
  • Patented direct central feed system for maximum juice extraction
  • Nutri Disc with titanium reinforced cutting blades, which ensures the blades stay sharper for longer, and stainless steel mesh filter basket for spinning out the pulp
  • Die-cast materials make the 800JEXL both durable and beautiful
  • 1 liter juice jug (34 fl. oz.) with froth separator
  • Large capacity pulp container with integrated handle
  • Cord storage: the power cord wraps around feet and clips into position under the base for a reduced counter-top footprint
  • Safety Locking Arm prevents the juicer from operating without the cover locked into place
  • Overload protection prevents over-heating, automatically shutting the machine down when it senses that the machine is overloaded
  • All materials that come in contact with food are BPA-free, ensuring safe use
  • Easy clean-up with the included cleaning brush. All parts except for the mesh filter basket/Nutri Disc and food pusher can be washed on the top shelf of the dishwasher.

Great affordable juicer
I am an avid juicer and I have been using a Breville Juice Fountain Elite for the past 3 years. This juicer actually has many of the features of the Juice Fountain Elite and works just about as well.

The T-fal Balanced Living juice extractor is easy to assemble and take apart. The plastic parts are dishwasher safe and the stainless steel filter comes with a cleaning brush. If you do put the plastic parts in the dishwasher I would suggest turning off the heat dry, just in case; and hand washing the filter basket with the cleaning brush. The feed tube is extra wide and can fit whole pears and apples, although I would suggest coring the apples because the seeds can contain trace elements of cyanide.

I made apple ginger juice this morning and it turned out perfect. I use the lower speed for most items because slower juicing seems to yield a bit more juice, so I usually let the items feed through the tube instead of forcing them with the pusher. Because my Breville is...

Easy setup, quick to clean, sturdier parts than other juicer I have used, large capacity
Pros:
-Large capacity. Enough for a family or a full day's juicing needs.
-Powerful motor makes short work of beets, stems, etc
-VERY sturdy mesh disc - much stronger and stiffer than what I have seen in other models
-Quick clean-up. No special tools required and design makes emptying shredded vegetable matter clean and quick

Cons:
-Pitcher seems to drip more than our other juicer
-Instructions suck - I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how to remove the wire disc. It was annoying at the time, though I am past it now.

We have been using a Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor. It's great but I found it too small sometimes for the amount of juice we want to make for long bike rides or when we have company. It also struggles sometimes with beets and other tough vegetables. Its design also make it a little messy to clean up...

I love this thing, great value for the price.
