Product Description
JUICEMAN JM410 Electronic Pro Juicer Amazon.com Review
Whether you're into nutrition-laden wheatgrass tonics or really superb fresh orange juice, a juicer is a great way to go. Fruits and vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet, and additive-free fresh juice is a convenient and quick alternative to eating all of them whole. This professional-quality Juiceman makes the process very quick for the serious juice enthusiast. A few simple twists attach and detach the juice bowl, blade basket, and cover to and from the base unit, which has a footprint comparable to the average blender. Produce cut to the appropriate size goes in the feed tube, then is gently pressed into the blade basket with a plunger. Juice pours out one spout and the pulp--including seeds and skin--shoots out into a separate pulp basket. It has two speed settings, low for softer produce such as oranges and apples and high for harder fruits and vegetables such as carrots and pineapples--in practice this unit is plenty powerful enough to almost instantly go through baby carrots at low speed. Enjoy the juice and use the pulp in recipes such as those for carrot cake. A basic cookbook and audiotape of juicing tips are included. --Dale Steinke

Summary: noisey, broken after 20 uses 2008-04-01
Comment: I loved the model 410 at first. It was great to juice things. BUT, it is very noisey, you need earplugs. The basket is hard to get off, and we found that putting a touch of vaseline on the contact parts underneath worked ok so it was easier to get off. We use 2 butter knives as levers, one on each side to wiggle and pry the basket off. It could be better. Also the balance of the basket or something is not very good. It does vibrate around and "dance" when in use. But worst of all after using it about 20 times over 2 years, it just up and died. I took it apart and the motor was fine. It seems the circuit board inside the thing has some integrated circuit chips and a relay, and one of them died. There should be a circuit breaker or a fuse on this thing to prevent a burnout of the whole thing like this. It looks perfect inside and out, but is headed for the trash heap. As far as the juice goes, it worked good when it worked, with Apples and strawberries and grapes and such. If you don't peel the oranges and grapefruits though they taste strong and not good. The feed chute is too small and spits out pulp and stuff has to be fed slowly or you will burn it out like mine. I am going to attempt a circuit board level diagnosis and repair and see why it stopped. I am guessing from an initial survey that the motor relay is what needs to be replaced. It is a small cheap unit for this amout of motor horsepower. I will repost when I get the repair finished.

Summary: Quick, tasty results! 2006-01-18
Comment: The juiceman professional 410 is perfect for the novice juicer. Although it is a bit loud, you can very quickly make juice!
I've juiced apples, beets, grapes (large seeded grapes), pears, oranges (peeled because I don't like the taste of orange peel!), strawberries (stem and all!), bananas, peaches (sans seed), tomatoes, cantalope, & pineapple with NO trouble at all. However, the chute is a bit small to take whole appless so I usually cut larger fruit in 4ths & get it all in a bowl - ready to feed into the chute!
It pulverizes and strains the fruit very quickly. Three small apples makes about 8-10 oz of juice! I also pour about 1/4 cup of water into the chute while the juicer is on to "clean out" the juice feed (make sure all the juice gets into my cup).
Sometimes I feel like some of the juice is being wasted because the pulp is a bit wet. The pulp would be a great snack for parrots or iguanas or to throw in a compost pile.
Cleanup is very easy, I usually just remove and rinse the parts.
I am very satisfied with this juicer and would recommend it to anyone!

Summary: without replacement parts, useless 2005-11-08
Comment: One reviewer wrote that Salton does not carry replacement parts. I have not been able to disprove that, alas. I wrote to the customer service months ago and never got a reply. Great customer service, really.
Anyway ours was working fine until a piece broke off the lid. I don't blame anyone but the user for that, btw; my boyfriend has made a career of breaking little pieces off our appliances (the big brute). Anyway now our expensive juicer is useless to us, b/c the piece that broke off triggered the locking mechanism that told the machine it was safe to run.
I'm wondering if any of you dissatisfied customers have your lid leftover from your burnt-out-motor 410?

Summary: Returned 2 - Burnt Out Motors 2005-02-27
Comment: Burnt out the motor on the first one within 3 months, exchanged for a new one, burnt out the motor on the 2nd one within 6 months. I only used the lower power setting and was only juicing carrots.

Summary: Danger! Electric Shock Hazard! Noisy, vibrates and leaks. 2004-10-24
Comment: Caution! This juicer may be hazardous to your health!
My brother and I have been juicing for almost 20 years. We've been through quite a few juicers including the champion (very heavy like a car starter motor), amongst others.
My brother had bought the original "Juiceman" years ago. As much as we juiced with it, about 2 to 4 times a day, it was necessary to send it in and have the motor rebuilt. This juicer needed a "key" to remove the grinder portion of the spinning basket assembly which lasted many years until the threaded bolt of the grinding wheel stripped. I managed repairing this my self with a little ingenuity and a grinder (tool) and replaced the bolt until finally the built in receptor nut stripped which I could do nothing about. I couldn't even find the manufacturer online though Google.
At any rate, on with the Juiceman 410 "professional" series. Professional?
It was OK in the beginning with the exception of needing to "jiggle" the lower portion of the juice housing upward to remove the pulp extractor basket. After a couple of weeks of juicing (2 to 3 times a day) the unit would vibrate terribly, mostly with carrots since they are the hardest vegetables we juice. It seemed to help a little after I had found a way to align the basket with the motor mount (and marking it off with a permanent marker). Plus the juice would leak out onto the motor housing and down the sides of the unit but who wants to go through all that? But wait there's more!
The dangerous part!
There is a "safety" button on the motor housing which prevents one from turning on the unit without the bowl, grinding wheel/basket and top attached while handling it until all the parts are in place. As I wiped the motor unit down with a wet cloth I just happened to run the washcloth over the safety button area and got a real shock, literally! I mean an electrical discharge! It happened once before when I touched the same area with a damp finger.
Here's a real "clincher." My mother came to me this evening and said that while no one was near the unit, it turned on all by itself! WOW! Spooky.
As with any product anyone could have the misfortune of getting a lemon one but this Juiceman "professional" 410 is a terrible choice.
I would not only recommend that this unit not be purchased but that it should be recalled. I have yet to contact the manufacturer but will keep you updated.
