Great intro to juicing!,
August 7, 2008 This review is from: Black and Decker JM300 Juiceman Jr 2-Speed Juicer
This little juicer is a great intro into the juicing lifestyle. It is a centrifugal juicer meaning the vegetables you place into it are shredded by tiny teeth and the pulp is thrown against the outer wall of the screen and the juice is forced out by the spinning motion. What you get is a fair amount of juice for the vegetables you place into it. I have owned this juicer for over 5 years with little or no problems at all with it. I usually juice every day so that is saying a good deal for a machine that costs less than $100.
I would give it 5 stars if it were not for the following things:
1. It is noisy, I mean lock up the cat because when you fire it up it resembles a jet engine taking off.
2. A pain to clean. It only has 1 moving part but due to the nature of the process food particles fling all over the inside of it.

I have owned this juicer for just over 3 years. I use it almost daily. It has held up well. I am looking to replace it because I spazed out and broke the cover. I used epoxy to piece it back together and got a few more months out of it, but the epoxy has come loose. Time for a new one, which I hate because the one I have still runs fine. But, you can't make a juice without a cover. The only draw back to this machine was that the final product ended up with some pulp in it. Never really bothered my wife or I though. It just caused to juice to be a little thicker. My sister has a Jack Lalane juicer that renders a more refined final product, but it is much more difficult to clean. What I love about my Juiceman Jr. is how easy it is to clean. It is a simple design. Not too many pieces, no screws or special tools needed for disassembly. It comes apart and goes back together nicely. Nothing to figure out. The reason, I never juiced regularly before is because it is a chore, hard clean up...Read more

Juiceman Jr. Juicer- JM1,

This review is from: Black and Decker JM300 Juiceman Jr 2-Speed Juicer
I had used my Juiceman Jr juicer two times and was thrilled. The third time I was half through with my vegetables when I smelled a burning smell and it quit working. I let it cool and still it did not work. Taking it back and guess I'll try to locate another type.
