Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I like Jack LaLane's, but it does not do well on soft leafs like spinach, and certainly won't take wheat grass. I checked out another by Omega, says it keeps out heavy metals, and does a great job on wheat grass and soft leaves like spinach and kale. But it also says apples and pears come out like apple-sauce. ??? Also, the Jack LaLane takes whole apples, etc. The Omega must cut up every thing. Don't know if clean-up is any easier than Jack LaLane, rather clean-up intensive. Would appreciate any help with this!!! Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Is there some reason you want a juicer and not a blender? What are your plans with the leftover fiber that is removed with a juicer? I would highly suggest a VitaMix, which gives you the valuable fiber right in your drink. And the clean-up is a breeze - just add a drop of detergent with water to the hopper and turn it on. There's nothing to take apart, ever. It can make hot soups or frozen sorbets and everything inbetween. Use seeds, nuts, pineapple core, orange seeds, leafy greens, whatever you want - it all gets smooshed up. They're expensive, but worth every penny - I've had one for about 12 years and use it every day. If you use this number 06-001715 - you can get free shipping.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have an omega juicer. It makes wonderful apple juice from apples from my tree that tend not to be very good to eat - kind of woody. No apple sauce unless you are talking about the pulp left over from the juicing. One of my other favorites is asparagus juice from the tought ends that I don't want to eat. I don't have experience with any other juicers, so I can't compare, but I find mine easy to clean. I researched and chose carefully, and I have been very happy with mine. Except for the cost of the food to juice and the problem of what to do with the pulp without wasting it.
