juicer 
2008-08-16
I'm usually intimidated by new appliances, etc. so this juicer was in the box close to a month before I even took it out. This juicer is very easy to use, and comes assembled, so I was pleased. I have only used it once, but I am very delighted with it. It comes with 2 recipe booklets for making a variety of juices, plus recipes for healthy, whole grain muffins and cakes using the pulp. Use the food pusher as instructed so the veggies don't pop back out. Also for ease of cleaning it is suggested to line the pulp collector with a plastic bag. There is cleaning involved but to be expected and comes with the easy tool to disassemble the blade, I would buy it again in a second. Particularly great if you have your own garden and an excess of vegetables.

I was so disappointed in this machine. It does make great juice and it is easy to make it, but for the amount of time it takes to take it apart and clean it, it is just not worth it. It is definetly easier to clean and peel your own fruits and veggies and put them in the blender. It is also a pretty big machine, not something you would want to leave out on a kitchen counter all of the time.
Motor of juicer just stopped not even finishing 1 glass of apple juice 2008-08-05
It took a while for my Power Juicer Pro to arrive since my cousin had to ship it from the US to the Philippines where I live.
I was so excited to use the juicer but we haven't even finished making 1 glass of apple juice and the motor just stopped. It wouldn't start again and we don't know what to do. If we send the item back to the US through courier, it would cost as much as the juicer so we made the most expensive half glass of apple juice ever! There's no quality control and I wouldn't buy Jack Lalanne again!
Juices many hard fruits and veggies well but not soft or geens. Cleanup is lousy.

I bought this juicer to improve my jucing lifestyle and it has done that exactly. I juice more now than I ever did before. I have made many great juice drinks for myself. With no previous juicing experience in juicing, it has served me well.
The pulp that falls into the pulp catcher seems to be to moist. This leads me to believe that it's not getting most of the juice out of the fruits/veggies that I am hoping for. If I put any greens into it, even when I ball it up and follow it with hard veggie pushing down, It seems to get very little green juice. Soft fruits also do not seem to do that well. So there are fruit and veggies I do not put into my juicer.
Another problem I have is that pulp sometime come out the sides of the pulp catcher. And the cleaning up after this is a pain-in-the butt. To be exact, it is lousy. I love juicing so I bear with it.
I am looking for another juicer that will expand the number of fruits and vegetables that I can juice as well as a juicer that will get more juice out. The prices for fruits/veggies has gone up and I want more bang for the buck. I probably will invest in a masticating unit either a sinle auger or double even if they cost more.
This unit has given what I wanted initially, but has outlived it's use and capabilities for me. If you cannot afford a larger unit, this is a good unit as jack Lelanne sez.
upgraded looks, same performance 2008-07-31
The "deluxe" juicer is exactly the same as the regular Power Juicer except that it is black and silver. Note I say silver, not stainless steel, because most of the metalic parts are plastic. The motor is the same, as is the controls. Save your $$ and get the regular or upgrade to a Breville which gives you more juice with a finer grater and variable speeds for different fruits and veggies.

I love this juicer! 2008-07-19
Great juicer. I don't find it difficult to clean unless I use very soft fruits or vegetables by themselves. I love it!
juicer 
2008-06-27
I like the juicer but there are a couple design problems. The spout does not open up very much. The base stops the spout thus if you are not careful the juice backs up if it is somewhat thick. I like to make enough juice to fill a 12-16oz cup. This won't fit under the unit. I have solved this by placing the juicer on a high counter with the spout over the edge. I then catch the juice with a funnel placed in the cup. I was determined to make this purchase work out. Other helpful hints, keep a blender near by for your bananas and papaya these will not work in the juicer. Then mix your juice from the juicer into the blender to blend. Enjoy, where there is a will there is a way.
Not the best product. 2008-06-18
The concept is great of juicing your way to health but the design has alot to be desired. If you're not careful, you will wind up with pulp all over the walls. So not only are you cleaning the juicer but spending extra time cleaning the walls too. The info-mercial raves about how little pulp there is in the collector unit but what they fail to show you is how much also accumulates on the underside of the top piece of the unit. The big selling point was the 3 easy payments. I thought about returning it within the first 30 days but figured since I paid so much for shipping, I might as well keep it and deal with the shortcomings. Juicing is still a good option.
Note: I also have another Braun juicer from 20 years ago or so and it still works great and there's no chance of the pulp hitting the walls on that one. The only thing with this one is that the chute is very small. I will be taking this juicer to the office so I can juice at work.
Wasted fruit and money. 2008-06-10
I have to agree with others who have said this machine is wasteful. When Jack mentions you can extract more juice for just pennies I thought, "Hey why not give it a try." However, after trying this product we can't justify the cost since we buy organic fruit. By the time the juicer is done most of what you and I would eat ends up in the pulp collector and we're rewarded with only a measly amount of juice.
Not to mention that there is over six pieces to clean after each use. Moreover in the TV infomercial Jack puts whole fruits in the juicer with piths, leaves, and even the stems. In reality, the instructions advise you against doing such a thing. Overall, in the long run it would be more cost effective and healthier if you just stuck with your blender.
