Juicer

[Guest guest]

The Jack LaLane juicer is wonderful. Easy to clean and easy to put back

together and the mouth is wide.

 

We had the Norwalk juicer and it takes longer to clean the machine than to

make juice. It is certainly the best juicewise as the juice is pressed out

via hydraulic press, but it was really a pain to keep clean as I wanted it

to be as shiny and new as the day we got it since the thing cost about

$1800. Sold it on ebay. Then we got the Greenstar. That is a nice one but

for some reason once we put it away, we just didn't get it back out very

much. Heavy to handle and lots of pieces to keep track of. We still have

that one in the cabinet. It does make excellent juice as the carrots are

grinded. I think my resistance to the Green star is that you had to be

careful or you would have a mess. Then we got the Jack Lalane. Good juice,

easy to clean. More waste than the Greenstar. I think it uses centrifugal

force, which supposedly heats the juice. It is recommended to run the

machine 20 minutes, then wait 5 or 10. Champion also uses centrifugal force

and the negative with that one is that the pulp is collected in the basket

inside the juicer. Jack's collects in a container outside the machine and

we put a plastic grocery bag in it for quicker clean up. Anyway, out of the

four we prefer the Jack Lalane, mostly because of the cleanup time for the

machine and the wide mouth that accepts 4 carrots instead of one. Pulp is

not as dry as the others but to us that is okay.
