5.0 out of 5 stars Great Juicer Period May 15, 2004

By JahChosen

Color Name:Gray

I spent months researching juicers and surfing veggie themed threads. That research paid off because after owning this juicer for a year, we're still as thrilled as the first day it arrived. I bought it from cooking.com because Amazon wasn't selling it at the time. The price seems to be about the same still.

My wife and I juice everyday and the juicer is sooo easy to clean. Just put a plastic bag in the pulp receptacle and you're good to go. One less item to wash. We use a toothbrush on the blade basket and a regular sponge on the bowl. The blade/basket and bowl are stainless steel. Those infomercial juicers use cheap plastic wherever possible. Trust me, you're only paying for advertising with those TV juicers. This is the real deal. It's quieter than our blender and one large apple, 3 carrots and two oranges yields us two massive glasses of juice. It also has a small foot print. I bought one for my mother and my wife is getting one for her sister.

If you have a large family you might want to skip the mini and go for the regular sized L'Equip but many online reviews say that the mini is actually better for some reason. All I can say is that it is more than enough for a family of four. After a year, the blades are still sharp although not as sharp as new but still going strong. If you're looking for THE BEST JUICER for less than 100 bucks this is it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Juicer July 26, 2004

By Ken Houston

Color Name:Gray|Amazon Verified Purchase

I am very pleased with this juicer. I have used my sister's premium juicer a couple of times and this compares well.

It handles everything well that I have tried including delicate leaf, hard and soft vegetables, several fruits and melons with seeds and rinds. The yield is good as shown by the dry pulp. Yield does depend on produce type and quality as with all juicers. The speed that the produce is pushed into the blade also affects it. Its power invites vigorous processing so press slowly and at a steady rate, as recommended in the manual, if you want more juice. And process different items in order of increasing tendency to clog the strainer and declining juice content.

Cleanup is easy except for the pulp basket. The sharp corners of this bat wing shaped container are hard to get to when hand cleaning -- this is no problem in the dishwasher or if you line it with a plastic bag to collect pulp to throw out as most do. I sometimes save the pulp, add water to make a slurry, season it and then drink or spoon it to get the extra fiber. It's not always appetizing but neither is Metamucil.

One reviewer pointed out that the plastic ring on top of the metal juice bowl provides a place for food residue to hide. The ring seems to fit tight and any gap there is too small see. I haven't seen any particles there after processing but they would be small since this area is exposed only to juice after passing through the strainer. To be safe, I rinse it immediately after juicing and run a toothbrush around the edge to loosen any residue that might be unseen after brushing the straner basket.

The manual is very concise. It only gives assembly and cleaning instructions along with some cursory juicing tips, so you may need a separate book for recipes and more tips.

I really like the contrast of the gray (it's also available in traditional white) and amber plastic along with the polished stainless. The dark amber cover won't show stains like those from carrots on normal clear ones. The unit also seems to be well made -- maybe you've already guessed I'm an engineer. I am confident enough with its construction to order a replacement blade to have when this one gets dull.

4.0 out of 5 stars MIni but Mighty! September 3, 2005

By Laurie Flood

Color Name:Gray

My Jack LaLane infomercial juicer only lasted a year and a half. It had a plastic screw on the motor where it met a metal nut on the blade assembly. Needless to say, the plastic wore away, rendering the juicer unusable unless you own a machine shop. I am having electrolyte problems, so I need to juice daily. I found this one at the health food store, but went home, because it said "mini" on the box. I looked online at reviews and decided to take a chance on this one. I am very pleased with my choice!

The juicer is really small, but more powerful than the Jack La Lane. The feed shoot is smaller, but you will not need to chop the carrots in half. I love the stainless steel feed basket, because it will not stain orange over time. The only con is that the juice quantity is low compared to the Jack LaLane. I will try the tip about feeding more slowly to get more juice. There was no pulp in the juice. I always feed my lettuce leaves wrapped around my celery, but would still have some clogging with the Jack LaLane, no clogging with this one!

It also has a 6 year warranty on the whole juicer. The part of my prior juicer that went out only had a 90 day warranty. Also, they don't tell you on the infomercial that the one payment that they waive they will get back in the ridiculous cost they charge for shipping, so I would suggest you get one of the juicers like this one from a reputable source with a long warranty on the whole juicer.
