3.0 out of 5 stars juices well, but clean-up is annoying, January 17, 2010

I bought this juicer for an ex-boyfriend & we used it for over two years. It does juice things fairly well. For the low price-tag, you get a pretty good quality product.

(One Tip: If you have a lot of plastic grocery bags, putting one in the pulp bucket before using the juicer makes cleanup a lot easier - you can just pull it out, tie it up & toss it. Then the pulp bucket only needs a gentle rinse to clean up.)

Having used a number of other juices since, I would like to point out some of the issues that this juicer has that ultimately became a turn-off to me (and made me not-so-sad to see the juicer go away with my ex):

- It juices, but it doesn't wring out nearly all the juice - I've found both centrifuge and masticating juicers that wring more juice out.

- Clean-up is a pain in the butt - cleaning all the parts takes a lot of time. You should have a little toothbrush to get all the bits of pulp out of the little crevices.

- Getting the 'blade/grater' part out can be hard. You have to screw & unscrew it with a special tool - it took us a while to figure out how hard we should screw it in, so that it stays put & does the job, but isn't then impossible to get out to clean.

- It stained quickly (and permanently). Not a huge flaw, but still, I don't like having dirty, stained products sitting out on my kitchen counter.

Overall, for the price, it's a worthwhile purchase, especially if you're only an occasional user. If there's any possible way you can spring for something a little pricier (especially if you plan on juicing regularly), I'd highly recommend going that route.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it- the juicer is a lemon, February 13, 2010

This review is from: Jack LaLanne Power Juicer

I have the classic juicer- it was given as a gift. It was only functional for less then 2 months. The issue- and you will see this on other review websites, is that the blade is attached to the motor with a plastic threading. Turn just a bit too hard and you strip a fine curl of plastic off of the threading, the blade won't attach to the motor and and the entire unit is unusable. I can get replacements parts of new motor and new blade but at a cost of $60.00. I read multiple other negative reviews of either the same issue or of the motor going out after only a few months of use. I am better off taking my 60 bucks and applying to a different brand with proven durability. Trust me this is flagrant design flaw- it did not take much for me to destroy the threading and disable the unit. So the LaLanne juicer is lemon. I don't know what I will purchase and I am open to suggestions. I love making juice and it was OK at doing just that. But why drop a $100 or more on something that has an established history of breaking after a 2-3 months. Jack LaLanne should be ashamed of himself for peddling this drivel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this juicer!, March 30, 2010

My husband and I have been using this juicer for months, almost every morning, and love it. We combine different berries, an apple and a large orange for a great, nutrious drink for two. No complaints. Don't mind that it takes a bit of time to clean the juicer after use. Our health is worth this minor inconvenience. Don't be so lazy!
