Best Citrus Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered the RA Chand citrus juicer in late January 2009 for home use. Despite being advertised as having been designed for commercial use, it lasted less than four months under light (less than once a day) home use. During this period, I never squeezed anything harder than a juice orange. And in early May 2009 the handle/lever simply cracked in two. It was gone after less than four months and close to $200 expended (with shipping/tax). Whatever metal was used to fabricate the lever/handle, it was a shoddy composite because it cracked just like a piece of brittle plastic.
At the time I ordered this product, I was under the misunderstanding that it was made in the USA. While this was my error, I had had similar problems with Chinese made home grade juicers which I had bought for a quarter the price. (They, ironically, had each lasted six to eighteen months under similar usage before breaking.) The RA Chand juicer is made in Mexico, not the USA, and the quality that I experienced unfortunately lived up to my worst expectations.
If you want a juicer that looks sharp and don't expect to ever use it more than once a month, this product might be just right for you. But stay away if you want something you can actually use on a daily basis at home, much less in a commercial setting. This product is bad news.

Tristar JLPJB Jack LaLanne Power Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This juicer is one of the worst juicers I've ever used. Don't be fooled by the claims made during the infomercial. This juicer barely has the ability to shred the produce fed into it, much less efficiently extract the any juice from the pulp. Worst of all, it is actually dangerous to use. It all comes down to poor design.
The primary flaw with this juicer is that the feed tube directs its contents into the center of the shredding blade where it spins the slowest. To make matters worse, the teeth at the center of the shredding blade are arranged in the same circular path. This tooth arrangement fails to generate any shredding action between the blades, and only grinds circular groves in the produce. Thus, the produce tends feed very slowly, or actually stalls in the grind tube. This slowed feeding action also seems to cause the centrifuge basket to slow down, and clog up. I'm not exactly sure why this happens, but I suspect it may have something to do with the produce binding between the bottom edge of the feed tube and the center of the shredding blade. Obviously, once the centrifuge basket gets clogged, less juice is extracted, the pulp is wetter, and more juice ends up in the pulp receptacle.
The second flaw is that the pulp is only discharged into the pulp receptacle from one side of the shredding /centrifuge chamber. This tends to cause the pulp to linger in the centrifuge basket, and compounds the clogging problem. Once the centrifuge basket gets clogged, the pulp begins to stick to the inside of the shredding /centrifuge chamber, and eventually seems to make its way into the juice catch basin.
The third flaw is that juice catch basin is flat on the bottom, and does not drain well. Pulp particles in the juice tend to settle on the bottom the juice catch basin, and eventually may stop the juice from draining. When this occurs, juice will flow over the inside lip of the juice catch basin, and stream down the motor housing. Wait; it gets worse! Since the motor's cooling vents are on the sides of the motor housing directly below the juice catch basin, juice escaping from the juice catch basin tends to flow into the motor housing through the cooling vents creating an electrical hazard.
Not flaws, but worth mentioning:
When the juice catch basin is installed, and the shredding blade spun onto the drive shaft before the centrifuge basket is installed, it will be very difficult to uninstall the shredding blade because there is no way to stop the drive shaft from rotating.
Since the feed tube is located in close proximity to the drain spout & juice cup, small produce items sometimes fall into the juice cup during the juicing process.

Mini XL Pulp Ejection Juicer Color: White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just after I ordered Jack LaLane's Express juicer, I came upon the L'Equip. After reading the specs on the L'Equip, I hoped for the best with Jack LaLane's Express. : /
I've had several juicers over the years and the Express was actually a pretty nice machine. However it only worked for about a month. Customer Service was hard to run down but finally I was able to return it. Did I say I had to pay an extra $15 for only a 3 year warranty? That says a lot about the lack of confidence they had in their own product.
The L'Equip comes with a 6 year warranty - for free.
It's also slightly louder than the Express but not terribly so, but the motor is much stronger than the Express and has a higher RPM.
The design is very much like the Juiceman Jr. except it has a wide feeder chute. However "wide feeder chute" is a misnomer because there's a wedge within the chute. Well obviously this defeats the purpose of having a wide chute to begin with since there's a wedge inside, but apparently the purpose of the wedge it to keep the produce from spinning around inside the chute.
The high rpm occasionally results in produce being rapidly and violently being bounced back out of the chute but you adjust to that after a bit.
The wedge inside the L'Equip is pretty much the only thing I dislike about this machine though. I enjoyed the wide chute on the Express and it made juicing quite fast, but you have to take an extra step of cutting to accommodate the wedge inside the L'Equip.
It cleans well but you should remember to lift the bowl and pour out the little bit of extra juice that's left over when you're finished juicing.
I like mine and use it regularly but all machines take some time to adjust to and overall in my opinion, this machine beats the Juiceman Jr and the Express.

Metrokane L Press Juicer, Orange Handles Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I juice a lot of oranges on a regular basis. I have tried manual reamers and electric juicers. I was excited to use one which could apply a lot of pressure quickly and with less effort. The only problem, and it is a big one, is that the juicer leaves a large portion of the flesh unsqueezed. When I use an electric juicer/reamer, there is very little flesh left. With this juicer, the top does not come down far enough onto the removable cup cap to squeeze the whole orange. As a result, you will waste about 25% of the juice. This problem is so obvious that I can take the juiced halves and squeeze more juice out with my bare hand. I will be seeking a refund. I am very disappointed. I can't believe this product is on the market with such poor performance.

Jack LaLanne Power Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Hamilton Beach 96700 Commercial Electric Juicer, Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had 3 juicers in my life, electric, hand press, etc. Each requires tough arm muscles with strong wrist that can press and squeeze hard enough to get the juice out. After a while, since I am left-handed, I noticed my left arm got bigger than the other. But I don't want to give up juicing since it taste so good and healthy. So, I went shopping several weeks ago for a juicer that can do the work for me and make my life easier so I thought of commercial juicers instead, most of them range from 280 to 650, not to mention some that goes for thousands of dollars. And finally, I found the "Hamilton Beach Comm'l Juicer", had it for few days now and it produces one of the best and smoothest orange juice I ever had. This unit is quite big and heavy for my kitchen countertop but it looks very nice and it is so worth it. If you are willing to convert to a fastforward juicing at home for your family and guests, this item is perfect and has the lowest price of its quality by far. For your information, I slip my finger a few times while the thing is running so fast "ouch, ouch, ouch", but my fingers never bled, practice will make perfect juicing. Overall, I am very happy and satisfied with my new "Hamilton Beach Comm'l Juicer". Juicing all the way, everyday for the family!

Samson Ultrasonic Fruit, Vegetable and Dish Washer Plus Disinfector 3D Soul System GBW-300 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this without reading a single review. I searched hard for one, but guess this must be too pricey for most people to purchase it (at least, that's my guess). But since my husband and I juice every morning, we wanted something to remove pesticides. We bought this and have never regretted it. Granted, I can't prove that pesticides and other bad things (i.e e-choli) are actually removed, because I don't have a science lab at hand, I CAN say items washed are MUCH cleaner with this. I can also say we haven't gotten sick, and spinach is one of our daily ingredients (I'm reviewing this shortly after the e-choli on spinach breakout).
I have washed bunches of celery and been disgusted by what was washed off (bugs, dirt, and who knows what else). Even if we can't see much difference, we can feel a difference. For example, carrots washed in running water feel like carrots, but carrots washed in this washer feel almost like they were scrubbed clean.
If you can afford this, I highly recommend it.
I will add, for those who purchase it, that there is a metal ring in the bottom of the bowl that says 'open' and 'close.' I called Samson's help line and asked about this, since nothing is mentioned in the user's guide. The man told me to leave it alone (on the 'closed' setting), that it is for repair technicians to use.
We've used it for food, and also for our toothbrushes. They get a thorough cleaning each month, and I don't have to worry about them warping, as happens when they are boiled clean.

Wolfgang Puck Citrus Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first electric citrus juicer. It seemed to work okay in the first few weeks but now it doesn't work well at all. I put it away and may just throw it away. The Wolfgang juicer is loud (wakes up the sleepers in the house), hard to get started unless you manipulate the fruit just right on the plastic wedge and the plastic parts are very thin. I wished so badly that it would work well so I didn't have to get out my enormous commercial vegetable/fruit juice extractor but that is not the case. I am going to make a more careful choice on my next citrus juicer. I juice everyday and that might be why the Wolfgang failed. It is not a heavy duty daily-juicer. Maybe if one occasionally juiced they could get away with enjoying it. After reading voluminous reviews about other machines, I surmise that these lower-end juicers are probably all the same. For us heavy users (once or twice a day juices for families), we probably need to step-it up to a commercial unit.

Whether you're enjoying a healthy breakfast, whipping up a batch of fresh cocktails, or exploring ethnic cuisine, freshly squeezed citrus makes a welcome ingredient in any home kitchen. Much easier to operate than a manual juicer, this small electric juicer quickly and easily extracts the juice from lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit, and other citrus fruits. Simply cut the fruit in half and place the cut-side down over the juicer. Equipped with a powerful 85-watt motor, the unit automatically rotates back and forth, quickly and thoroughly extracting the fresh, delicious juice, then dispensing it into a glass via the built-in nondrip spout. Other highlights include a simple on/off switch, a secure-fitting lid, cord storage to help keep countertops looking tidy, and a lightweight design at about 3 pounds. Attractively housed in durable stainless steel, the citrus juicer measures 7-1/5 by 7-1/5 by 13-1/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Omega 9000 Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Omega 9000 juicer is a good juicer.
I've had an Acme 6001 for years and it has served me well. When it was time for a new juicer, I bought the Breville since it was such a "hot item".
Big mistake! Unless you want it to "keep up with the Joneses" and think having a big shiny juicer in your kitchen is more about prestige and less about health, then the Breville is for you.
Back to the Omega. The Omega 9000 makes pulp feel like a shirt. It's pretty dry.
Big up to Amazon & HealthNut for it's speedy pick up of the Breville and quick delivery of the Omega (2 days), which is actually well-designed and has good yield.
Now for the cons: carrot residue sticks to the bottom and along the periphery of the basket which goes inside the bowl. It took me a long time to scrub off. Maybe a filter will help, but I never had that problem with the Acme and it was built many moons ago in the 90's. If it wasn't for that design flaw, I'd give it another star.
One last thing. Make sure you process the fruit & vegetables in the right order. For some reason, if you put, say, cucumber and parsley first, before the carrot, the juicer will flip out and do a dance on the counter. I experienced this w/ the Acme as well. So go slow at first & read the tips about what to process first & how.
Cheers.

Omega O2 Household Pulp Ejector Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have searched thru hundreds of reviews on a dozen different juicers, and after purchasing the Omega 02 I felt it deserved a little boost to its overall grade.
I have now owned 5 different juicers under the $135 price tag: a department store model; a highly rated 700 watt stainless model available almost everywhere under many names; a OK/nice LeQuip model: the Jack LaLanne model, and now this Omega 02. What a difference it is too.
To begin with, it is by far the best packaged item of all five of them (LeQuip was good). It looks clean and has nice body lines, and works smooth. In comparison, the cheapy is what it is...not much. The all stainless model was not all that well made for the price and jumped all over the place...It did have a similar basket similar to the Omega, but it had a plastic mounting ring and a lightweight blade. The LeQuip is similar to this Omega, but more money and a couple little issues that make it number two on my list. And finally, the Jack LaLanne...it worked OK at first, but with a cheap plastic basket/blade assembly and only a 60 day full warranty it is not worth it at any price. The Jack L is so over-hyped that I would recommend most anything over that device!
So, what is good about the Omega 02? It is compact and does not use a lot of counter space. But it does everything the 3" mouth model can do (in the form of juicing the way a good one should), except you have to cut apples and beets down into slices. And besides, if you juice a lot of apples it is wise not to eat all of those seeds over time(there is much mention of accumulating poison from some seeds)...and lets face it, if you have a big mouth juicer you are going to get lazy and just drop them in seeds and all. Also, other larger fruits that might have a large seed are going to wind up getting chopped and not juiced whole anyway...so cutting is not a really big deal.
What else? It cleans up a LOT easier than the Jack L...largely due to the way the pulp is thrown out of the back and most of it goes straight into the catcher, the way it is supposed to do. **A note for any juicer, put a plastic bag in the catcher and tie it up over the top to make clean up easier and you can save the pulp for compost or meatloaf, etc.** Anyway, some of the tops on other machines get jammed with pulp or have corners that make them hard to clean out. If you can visually see the design of a cover you can more easily determine if it is a smooth arc or a sharply angled model...the smoother the better.
How about power? This version of an Omega has a 1/3 hp, 6300 rpm motor. The Jack L and other cheapies have smaller 1/4 or less motors and some still crank the rpm's to compensate (not good). There is much discussion about rpm's and that lower is better (for reducing oxidation)...but, you cannot find a centrifugal pulp ejector model that is slow enough to compete with the masticator/auger types with reducing the oxidation. So, you need to choose one that can at least separate the juice from the pulp but not be too weak to break. This is why I chose the Omega 02...it is not the full 11,000 rpm 1/3 or 1/2 hp model but it is powerful enough to do the job and strong enough to last as well. Also, don't get caught up in wattage comparisons...watts do not translate directly into horsepower. To grind up tough fruit and veggies, you need horsepower.
If I had to choose another model to replace this one (in the same price range) I would definitely choose this Omega 02 again.
With that said, there are a couple small items to address. First of all, get the black version instead of the white. Or plan to buy the black plastic bowl ring later. This piece of plastic will get stained in short order from carrots and other similar veggies. But it is just a little stain ring around the inside where the basket rides, not bad like other brands. The black plastic will not show this and stay newer looking, longer. But, I will say that even stainless appliances will show wear over time, so use it and enjoy it anyway. Secondly, there is occasional juice that seeps out around the bottom lip of the bowl ring (mentioned above) and the stainless bowl, BUT I have come up with a quick fix: put a small amount of vaseline around the rim of the stainless bowl and then place the white (or black) plastic ring on top before setting the basket and blade into place. Juice will not seep out, and it will not come in contact with your juice either. It does not affect cleanup! When it is time to break the unit down, it merely washes off in hot water. FYI, the LeQuips have the plastic ring formed onto the stainless bowl...stops the seepage, but is a real pain to clean since it does not come off of the bowl.
OK, hopefully that is enough to make it worth your time reading this whole thing and help in decision making.
I would recommend the Omega 02 to anyone...I got it for $90 shipped and I would only consider a couple of other models over this one (maybe) but they will cost 2 to 21/2 times this price (Omega Big Mouth or 4000). And the only reason for considering them is a longer warranty (10 or 15 instead of 3) and larger machines for a little more processing power (but I didn't need more).

The Omega Household Pulp Ejector Juicer -- the Omega 02 Juicer - is a smaller version of the Omega 4000 Juicer. The large feed chute makes is the perfect carrot juicer. No motor "bog down" like other wide feed chute juicers. New larger feed chute allows for less preparation.

Norpro KRONA Stainless Steel Steamer Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Last year (2008) our little planting of grapes finally started producing. We borrowed a steam juicer and were able to can about 42 quarts of grape juice (along with eating a bunch and selling some). The juicer was so nice that we decided to purchase our own. This Norpro Juicer Steamer has many of the features we were looking for. Stainless steel. Good capacity. We also liked this unit because of the glass lid which allows you to know how the process is going without opening it up (one thing we didn't like with the steamer we borrowed last year). I also noticed that the handles are designed to remain cooler than the other unit - another good feature of this steamer.

Green Star GS3000 Juicer and Peanut Butter Grinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had many juicers and was happy. But since I received my Greenstar 3000, I have no idea how I have lived without it. I look forward toward juicing and using this juicer every morning, noon or whatever time daily. My diet has greatly improved and my getting a variety of greens into my diet has greatly increased. This unit juices anything you want to. I have lost 23 pounds since I received my juicer by incorporating it into my diet plan. Love making my own nut butters, milks, sorbets, ice cremes, etc. All are healthy and good for me and taste great to booth. I do not care what anybody else thinks of this unit, it is worth the cost to me as just I beleive my health is worth the effort. It is easy to use, comes with many attachments, very quiet. I do not mind cleaning it even when I am in a hurry as the unit is now part of my family...Me , my wife, and my Greenstar!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just bought this juicer (white) and I did manage to squeeze half an orange with tremendous effort before the right hinge broke. I definitely do not recommend buying it. Nothing more to say.
