Great Juicer!
By my2cents
I just got this juicer yesterday,and tried it this morning. After reading galore not so good reviews, I was impressed with this machine. I used carrots and apples to start. I tried to get the whole apple in the shoot, but it was to large. I don’t know where all these juicer commercials are getting their produce, but mine where intermediate size, and wouldn’t fit. No problem. I cut them in half. To my supprise, one got stuck in the bottom of the shaft. I stopped the unit and got rid of the piece. I cut them in quarters and started again. It worked fine. I found the reason the half apple got stuck. The shaft has a pyramid V shape at the bottom to keep the feeder bar from spinning when the unit is on I guess. Not necessary in my opinion. This is a well built unit. Stainless Steel and black. The pulp was dry, though there was a substancial amount after 10 carrots and 3 apples. It made 3 cups of juice. The anti froth ring does what is supposed to. I like the adaptable knob for the juice spout. You may close it to keep the juice from dripping out. This is a quiet but powerful machine. When you push the on button, it kicks a little to the left, but after that it doesn’t move like numerous reviewers have claimed. The 1000 watt motor and 5 speeds is great. Low RPM’s for soft vegi’s, and fast for carrots and apples beets etc. Cleaning is very easy, even though there are a few places that are hard to dry. Under the lid mainly. I got this a Kohl’s yesterday. It was half price at $99.00, but I had a 30% off coupon, and it was $69.00. Such a Deal! I am going to buy another one today for my daughter if I may find one for $69.00. Buy this juicer! You won’t be disapointed.

Manufacturuer told me to take it back…
By Jerry Proudlock
I purchased this juicer partly on the reviews of others. The reviews are right. The machine is quiet, easy to use, easy to clean, the juice yield and pulp dryness are good for this type of machine.
I noticed that the filter vibrates up when I turned the motor off… each time. I ran the juicer 4 times and the the filter lifted a little more with each use. I contacted the manufacturer to ask if I had a faulty machine. The response I got back was that they confirmed my problem to be an inherent design flaw… not a defect. They tested various units of this model and found that the filters lifted out of place on all of them. The manufacturer told me to take it back to the retailer and get a refund immediately. That is precisely what I did. I wish the manufacturer expended more time looking into design and functionality.
Some persons may think a little lift when you turn off the machine is no be deal. Here is my thought. If it lifts growingly more now, when it is new, what will it do over time? If it lifts completely, it could harm the cover, it could cause bodily hurt (the thing does spun at 13,000 rpms at the most eminent setting), or at the very least it could shorten the life of the machine. The manufacturer did not try to trade me on the plausibility of keeping the machine for further use, in fact, just the opposite. They told me to get rid of it IMMEDIATELY. To me, that speaks volumes in regards to the worth of this machine.
I would not commend this machine.
As a side note, I’ve seen a number of reviews that compare masticating juicers like tribest, omega, champion, etc. to centrifugal juicers like juiceman, jack lanlanne, cuisinart, etc. There genuinely is no comparison… they are completely different. The masticating machines will always be more efficient, giving a higher juice yield with dryer pulp. They are likewise twice the price (or more), harder to use, and harder to clean. If you want convenience, choose a centrifugal system, but you will sacrifice juice yield and pulp dryness. If you want the sheer most you may get out of your develop and don’t mind spending more time juicing and cleaning up afterwards, buy a masticating system. I’ve applied both and see the gains of both. Personally, comfortableness is what keeps me using a juicer. Happy juicing, whatsoever you decide.

Decent Juicer…Not Great
By Lorne Bourdo
I purchased this juicer yesterday and without delay washed it and got down to business. I juiced Carrots and Apples. After I was finished, I took a look at the pulp and I was competent to squeeze juice out of the pulp still.
I spoke with the sales rep and he said the Breville juicer plus was better at gathering the juice and extracting more from the pulp. So I went back and counterchanged it today. I would say this is an ok juicer, but not the best.
However I’m sure most juicers can’t get 100% of the juice out of fruit. This machine functions in the right manner and looks nice. I was just disappointed with the amout of juice that was left behind.
