Waring Health Juice Extractors

Sometimes you have to learn the hard way.

First - this thing doesn't juice all that efficiently. Wanna find that out for real? Go buy a GOOD juicer, and use it. This thing starts looking like a massive waste of time and money the moment you try a better juicer.

Next - think this is a good price? Think again. The lid on the pulp container is stupidly designed with an easily broken protrusion on the bottom right which acts as a safety - the juicer will not turn on unless the lid is on. Of course, when that protrusion breaks, it won't turn on then either. Replacements are $12 or so, plus shipping. Note that I got mine from an Amazon Store called "Small Appliance". Don't get me started. They suck beyond all human comprehension, but at least they called me a week after I'd already bought a better product. Hey: They may not be good, but they sure are slow!

The juicer itself does a great job on hard fruits and veges like carrots. I initially tried to use the leftover from the juicing in things like soups or cakes but the leftover from hard fruits was so dry, it was no use to me. THe juicer does well with fruits like apples and pears but the refuse is somewhat wet suggesting jiucing performance is good but not fantastic. Softer fruits such as oranges and grapes dont do too well. Oranges, particularly, dont get the best juice in this type of centifugal juicer because the white stuff on the outside of the oranges gets juiced too and changes the taste.
