Don't buy it, it's cute looks are deceiving,
This review is from: The Sharper Image 8021SI Stainless-Steel 700-Watt Super Juicer (Kitchen)
I went in to buy the Breville JE95XL but saw this stainless steel beauty and with it's $79 price tag and decided to go for it. Had it one day and that was more than enough.
1. very poor juicing all around, pulp left over had tons of moisture which means you're using way more (expensive) produce to get the same amt of juice. there goes the low price. 2. the stupid spout is too low to get a decent jar or cup under so you need to juice into a bowl or something, or else have a 2nd person hold your container at an angle while you're feeding produce into it. 3. GIANT mess. when i tried to run the soaking wet pulp back through the juicer to extract the rest of the juice, a juicy sludge poured out the SIDES all around the juice spout. got all over the juicer, the counter and everywhere. 4. the second time i juiced i smelled smoke. i am positive the thing would have broken very rapidly had i not just returned the piece of dung immediately. I returned it and bought the Breville that I had originally planned on buying and it is a world of difference. light years better. i love love love it and highly recommend anyone considering a juicer in the under $200 range buy it. dry pulp, tons of juice. awesome design. no mess. easy clean up. p.s. if you use a 20% off coupon at Bed Bath and Beyond (they never expire, even if they say they do they don't) it's only gonna cost you $120, which is a very good price for such a great juicer. Buy a Sharper Image Super Juicer AT YOUR PERIL

For the price, a good juicer, with some reservations,
This review is from: The Sharper Image 8021SI Stainless-Steel 700-Watt Super Juicer (Kitchen)
This is the first juicer I've owned, so I don't really have a comparison. However, I did do quite a bit of research before buying this. Mine has the black top, not clear, so I can't see what's happening, but apart from that it's the same. I was very impressed with the motor. However, unlike the photos, I couldn't find small enough apples or pairs to go whole down the tube, and had to cut them in 1/4, but no problem. Also, the orange juice made from oranges with peel on (as suggested) tasted awful. Perhaps the really thin-peel oranges would be fine, but none available at the moment. I quickly discovered that although it says that you don't have to peel, the juice is much nicer for many fruits when you do - i.e. citrus, pineapple, mango - fruits that you wouldn't eat the peel anyway. I deducted one star because I did find that the clean-up took longer than expected. All these ads always show a 1-2-3 quick-clean but anyone who has juiced, and for those that haven't, you MUST clean immediately after juicing, otherwise those little bits of fruit stick to everything and are impossible to clean off and (Heaven forbid) can grow bacteria..... But quite honestly, for the price, I think it's a good deal - from what I've seen of much more expensive ones, this is comparable.
One last thing - I was surprised that the remaining pulp wasn't dryer for some fruits - seemed like you could extract more juice (especially pineapple) - but then the recipe book suggests using the pulp for muffins, and that seems like a great idea which I shall try.

Sharper Image Customer Service pursuaded me to never buy Sharper Image products again,
This review is from: The Sharper Image 8021SI Stainless-Steel 700-Watt Super Juicer (Kitchen)
This juicer (great look; at most average performance) broke after I used it for ~10 times. I needed to replace one part to make it functional again. I was willing to pay for it. I contacted the store I bought it in and Sharper Image Customer Service several times and each party constantly sent me to the other one. I called, emailed, and wrote to Sharper Image Customer Service and got the same reply all the time. They do not deal with such problems. I tried for 6 months. No success. I came to a simple solution though - the juicer is in the garbage. I will never again buy a product with the Sharper Image logo. Period.
