Jack LaLanne Power Juicer Review

Jack LaLanne Power Juicer
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.

My sister gave me this handy gadget for quickly and easily juicing lemons as a birthday gift. It seemed strange at first, but after I used it the first time, I declared it the greatest invention since the mandoline v-slicer for vegatables! It's so simple - you just cut the lemon in half and squeeze. In seconds, you have a whole cup of juice sans seeds and pulp. I've just learned that it comes in lime and orange sizes as well... I might just have to order that orange juicer for my morning squeeze.

This product is made from sheet metal and it bends at the handles if you try to squeeze lemons with a thick rind. There are much better alternatives out there.

Italian Lemon Tree Five Gallon Review

Italian Lemon Tree Five Gallon
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My Santa Teresa dwarf lemon tree arrived from Cliftons Nursary, Califorina slightly sooner than expected. It looked tired from the trip and it lost many leaves while in transit, but it did have flowers and a few tiny lemons. It was all of 3 feet tall.
I carefully transplanted it in an 18 inch pot and have kept it watered well and lightly fertilized. Many new shoots have appeared and have grown 5 to 6 inches. All of the tiny lemons dropped probably due to the very hot weather in NY this July and many of the new leaves are curling. A couple of new flowers have appeared and formed into new tiny lemons and I'm hoping they won't drop.
I have a nice place to keep it over the winter. I expect someday to get a usuable lemon from it.

Italian lemons are actually a group of Italian varieties more commonly known as Sorrento lemons. They are highly prized for their use in Italian cuisine, and as the basis for the refreshing Old World liqueur Limoncello. Bears fruit year round in mild climates, and from fall to early summer in warmer areas. Medium sized fruit with smooth yellow rind is nearly seedless, with greenish yellow flesh that is tender, juicy and acidic. To about 8 feet or so, or clip to desired size and shape. Would make a great gift. Can not ship citrus trees to AZ, TX, or FL. Shipped potted in soil to ensure the best possible start when planted in yard or garden.

This is by far the best lemon/lime squeezer my wife and I have ever used. It is large, but not heavy, which eases and aids the squeezing power of my wife. The enamel coating is both brightly colored and very easy to clean. Our previous metal squeezer had become seriously oxidized and pitted; this squeezer will definitely eliminate that. Stated simply, this is a great product!

Bought this item, got all excited to make some fresh margaritas. I squeezed one lime. Worked fine. Squeezed the second lime. Worked fine. Squeezed the third lime and it broke (see photos I posted).
Returned to the store and got my money back. Guess I'll spend the money on a reputable brand (Oxo, Williams Sonoma, etc). This thing is junk.

In our backyard we have quite a bit of bamboo, and mosquitos nest and breed in it. Consequently, we have LOTS of mosquitos, and it is a potential problem because we have a great patio and spend lots of time there. I say potential problem because of the effectiveness of ouir Sawyers Family Mosquito Repellent products in keeping mosquitos away from us. I have also used it hunting and fishing and it is just as effective on gnats, flies and other flying insects.

Norpro Orange Juicer Review

Norpro Orange Juicer

5/26/2009:
I just bought this juicer. I was worried about a few things:
1. I saw a Good Eats episode on oranges the very next day after I'd purchased this. Alton Brown held up this exact juicer, said it was junk, threw it away, and recommend using a more sophisticated press.
2. I read the reviews here that said there was lots of orange and juice left behind, because the orange folds up around the edges trapping fruit and juice.
3. Some people said the lemon and lime presses (I have a really cool one with a swiveling plate that lets you choose smaller for limes or larger for lemons) worked great, but the orange one didn't. That made me even more worried since my lemon/lime juicer works great and that's why I went for the orange one.
4. Finally: some people said the broke in a few months.
Here's my review:
I juiced my 1st orange. It worked great.
A. I searched online to see just how much juice an orange should produce. From what I saw, you get 2-3 oz per medium sized orange. My medium sized orange produced exactly 3 oz. So that seems pretty darned good.
B. It didn't take a lot of force to make it work, however once the orange is almost done, some squirted back up again. I am confident that was user error, but we'll see after I go buy some more oranges and experiment. I will update my review with any new facts. Some juice was above the peel. If I just opened up the squeezer and turned it over, that poured into the glass instead of flying up into my eye.
C. About the fold up, fruit left behind comments. Yup. It folded up. Yup, there was fruit in the fold. I unfolded that lip and ate what was left. It was juicy and delicious! If you are gonna chill the oj for later, this gives you a tasty treat for you light effort. But since a normal orange gives 2-3 oz of juice, and I got 3oz of juice, I just don't see this as a problem. Great yield, plus a treat for the squeezer (me).
D. Mine has only juiced on tasty orange so far. If it breaks, I will update my review. Until then... my recommendation is buy! If you want a bigger press like Alton recommends go for it, but honestly, if I squeeze 4 oranges, I'll get a nice big 12oz glass of delicious oj, and some orange bit snacks to boot. :)
E. The handles are a lot shorter than I imagined. I picked this one cause it was eligible for amazon prime. Otherwise, I'd pick the one with the longest handles for extra leverage. But again, I had zero trouble with this one, so it may not be super vital to have the longer handles.

I was looking for a lemon and lime juicer, something easy to use and cheap. This item fits the bill wonderfully.
It's three pieces. The bottom cup has a little spout on it. It also has a non-skid ring on the bottom to help prevent splippage. The top and bottom cups are graduated with Tbls, ml, and Cups measurements. All three pieces fit very well together and disassemble easily. Also, the manufacturer states that this is dishwasher safe, though I hand-wash mine.
My mother in law has already made lots and lots of bottles of her "healthy" style lemonade with this contraption. When you're done, it fits easily into a tall drawer/cubbard.
It is made entirely out of plastic, so we'll see how long this thing lasts, though I personally only plan to use it infrequently.
All in all, I feel like I got a really good value at ~$5, especially compared to all these other more expensive juicers that may or may not juice all that well.
