This review is from: Champion Household Juicer 2000 PLUS G5-NG-853S - BLACK MODEL
I have only had the Champion household juicer for about a month now but am using it daily and really like it! We have tried many different fruits and veggie drinks with much success. I usually make juice for the four of us every morning, and my kids love waking up to fresh tasty juices. We also have made sorbets for dessert--yum! My only negative experience so far is that while trying to make almond meal, the motor really heated up and started to smell. The heat from the motor affected the flavor of the small amount of almond paste I did create. I haven't tried any other nuts for fear of burning out the motor. If you mainly want great tasting fruit and vegetable juice, I would highly recommend it!

I've had a Champion juicer, essentially this same model, for about fifteen years. How's it work? It's a workhorse: Basically a huge electric motor, and you attach the masticator (a system of grinding blades) to the axle / shaft that comes out of the motor. There's a cover that goes over that, a wooden push-rod, and at the bottom, a screen that slides in place under a cover. The screen can be fine, or coarser. It goes and goes. This isn't one of the centrifugal juicers that produces ultra-fine juice; what this does it make it possible to process 150 pounds of tomatoes into juice and pulp (the pulp has to go into a handy bowl, the juice into another -- a little awkward, but you figure it out). My family and I then take the juice and put it onto the stove and cook it down to sauce. Handy, indeed.
You can do the same for carrots, cucumbers, you name it, to make into juice and drink raw. This is great for raw food folks (I'm not one, especially, but I like my vegetable and fruit...Read more

Great Juicer!,

I bought this exact model of juicer two years ago and have been very satisfied with the juicing results. My pulp comes out very dry and we get a lot of juice out of each fruit or vegetable. I've juiced spinach, beet greens and chard. Today I juiced wheat grass for the first time which worked, but was not entirely what I expected: it came out really thick. Perhaps there's a trick for juicing wheatgrass I'm not aware of. However, I'm undeterred and will try again tomorrow.
Overall: this machine is really great. I'm super happy with it and purchase it all over again.
