Good for the money
My wife and I have had this machine for two months and have found that it is not an Omega or a Champion but for the money it is a damb good machine. I had an Omega that my wife thought was too big and ugly for our kitchen so she gave it away. When her family all started juicing following a grand viewing of "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" she decided to juice and wanted a black smaller type machine. The Jack LaLanne unit does a great job, is easy to clean and we have not had any negative issues with it at all. If you are a complainer, no machine will be any good as they all have some little quirk one way or another. All in all, Great product for the money.
Great juicer for the money!
I bought this juicer at Walmart in September 2012, and it is still going strong almost six months later. My husband and I have really enjoyed having fresh juices several times a week. We were first turned on to juicing by Joe Cross's documentary, Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead. We realized just how horrible our daily diet was, and decided it was time to make a change. We're both nearing 40 now, and we feel better than we did in our early 30s.
The Jack Lalanne Power Juicer was $100 at Walmart, and worth every penny. I'd bought a cheaper juicer from Walmart (every opportunity to save money doesn't always work to my favor), and it was very messy and difficult to clean. I returned it the same day, and invested about $40 more into the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer. I've never regretted spending $100 on this juicer. I even use the pulp to make healthy snacks, or as fiber for healthy muffins, cookies, and breads occasionally.
Needless to say I love this juicer and strongly...
Not The Best
I purchased this so that I could begin on my juicing journey. I wanted to be able to juice a lot of leafy greens, as well as all types of vegetables and fruit. I used this twice and was extremely disappointed in it. It juiced the oranges and grapefruits just fine, but left behind TONS of pulpy mess to clean out. Then the spinach greens that I put in it were nearly left whole, with just some notches torn out of them, and the strawberries were cut into slices, with many big slices remaining in the strainer basket. I decided to take it back and go with a slow juicer, namely the Hurom, which IS sold here on Amazon. It is considerably more price wise, but is very worth it in the end. So I would say that if you don't need to juice leafy greens at all, then this may work out ok for you. And if it's between not juicing at all or getting this one, then something is certainly better than nothing. The old adage is definitely true: You get what you pay for.
