Jack LaLanne JLPJB Power Juicer Juicing Machine

Comment: I purchased the juicer based on information obtained in an informercial. After 3 weeks the motor died and I assumed that I would get satisfaction from the life time warranty they advertised. Upon reading the fine I discoverd it was very misleading. In order to enforce the warranty you must pack the juicer and ship it accross country at your expense. You must also include a $29.00 check with returned product and the recipient would notify you how they will proceed. In essence, this so-called life time warranty requires that you spend over 30% of the purchase price of the item without guarantee that they will either provide you a new juicer. I thus proceeded to place the juicer where it belongs, in the garbage. I have been a big fan of Jack Lalanne since I was a child. I was very disappointed to find that he has allowed his name to be used by scam artists. I purchased a new juicer at a much lower price and better quality. Needless to say, I do not recommend the Jack Lalanne juicer.

Comment: I've owned this for years. It was a great investment. So many different recipes. And you can use the pulp for baking, soups, applesauce. Just endless ideas. This super removes the juice. Nice thick juice. Very durable. Cleanup is pretty easy once you get the hang of it down. Zip!

Comment: I have had this juicer for about a year now, and feel that it is worth it. Honestly, it is not that hard to clean up. It seems durable enough when used (average at least 2-3 times a week), and so far no problems. I have read some of the other reviews, and I guess I havn't experienced any problems yet. If you use it daily or more, I guess it may become a bit cumbersome to clean every time, and durability with some of the pieces may become a problem, in reference to the plastic screw the blade turns which broke for one of the other reviewers. At this point, this machine is fun for myself and the kids to use, chewing through carrots and apples easily. I would advise to peel oranges before juicing, although the machine says you can leave them whole, It makes a difference in the taste of the juice as well as the wear on the machine. So an average juicer like me, this make a cost efficent buy. More regular juicers might shop around more.

Comment: This is my first juicer and overall I am satisfied. There is enough juice extracted that I am not upset about wasting money. I understood going into this that there is clean up involved. But the whole things usually only takes about 5-7 minutes. The reason why I purchased this was because it was reasonably priced and it has a lifetime gurantee on the motor. plus you can order replacement blade and all for 20.00 bucks on the jack lalanne website. I noticed that if i put like a few prigs of spinach insted of a full handful it will go straight to the pulp catcher. but other than that I am satisfied.

Comment: I purchased this juicer from the infomercial on t.v. I previously was using my sisters Breville Juice Fountain Elite (which i highly recommend). Jack Lalane's jucier came in the mail (shipping $25) and i used it twice. I juiced my carrots and the machine clogged up and the motor stopped (from literally 5 carrots!) The next time the apple skin clogged the machine and again it stopped. I returned it and am going to purchase a Breville. Just saying, not like the ease and flow as seen on t.v. If you do purchase, don't order it from the tv. as to avoid the shipping when you need to return it.
