This is the most awesome juicer ever! I have tried other juicers, and they do not do the job well at all. This product does exactly what it says it does. You get all of the juice from the fruit/vegetable, and there really is just dry pulp left over.

The bigger spout makes it alot easier because you don't have to cut the food so small before you put it in the spout.

This is the only juicer I would recommend to anyone.

Very very disappointed with this machine. It is broken after a very few uses. It spits vegetables, fruits every where gets jammed every piece of fruit and now does not even turn on. I have used possibly ten times. Do not go near within a inch~!

I have had a Jack Lalanne Juicer for many years. I recently upgraded to the deluxe stainless-steel model believing that the stainless steel would be on the inside where the juice is formed and captured. I was disappointed to find out that the stainles steel was on the outside only. I do not care what the outside finish is, my concern is the material that comes in contact with the juice. .Jack Lalanne's JLSS Power Juicer Deluxe Stainless-Steel Electric Juicer

My sister bought the Jack Lalanne juicer for my mother, but she did want it so she gave it to me. I had been wanting one for a long time and was happy to get it. I am not disappointed. I haven't had any problems except for having to take everything apart to clean it every time and getting some of the pulp off of the mesh screen. Other than that, it works great! It makes a lot of juice and it's sturdy. I haven't had any problem with the motor or anything else, so those who did must have bought a defective on

This juicer was a gift for my Aunt. She has not used it as yet. It was shipped in a shoter time than indicated, the price is right and it appears to be a sturdy product. I went back on line to get one for myself at the same price but it was increased to over $40.00. Guess, I'll wait until it is on sale again before I can buy one and give my review.

I did a lot of research before buying a juicer. I wanted something with a lot of power but at the same time I didn't want to spend a ton of money because I am just getting into this whole juicing thing. I have to say you get a great product with this machine. I juice virtually everything. They even show you how to juice the more difficult things like parsley on their website.( roll it up in spinach leaves). And of all of the juicer I've seen and used this one truelly leaves the least amount of pulp. You get

I read all the reviews before I purchased my juicer. This juicer got some bad reviews but I don't think it was the juicers fault. If you read the information that comes with the juicer and you use it the way you're suppose to, the juicer works great. I use my juicer 2-4 times a day and I've never had any problems with it.
The juice that comes out of the juicer is not thick and pulpy as I feared it might be, it is just the right consistency and this juicer gets all the juice out of my produce.

It is a wonderful looking machine, but it doesn't work. There is an automatic shut-off switch and you cannot keep this machine running.
As soon as I fed a carrot into the machine, it stopped running. Then you must wait 10 minutes for it to operate again. This occurred
a number of times. I called the tech and he gave me instructions, but I could not keep the machine running. After much frustration, I gave up and returned it. I bought an Omega juicer and it is wonderful. It works! If it doe

I ordered this item and paid a whole lot of extra money to have it arrive +2 days, it arrived +4. Garbage.

Jerry L. Murray | Monday, March 29, 2010

I have found the unit to do a good job juicing, but if you are an aggresive juicer; i.e., daily, expect to replace the cutting blades every six months @ $30. You will know when - the unit bogs down when fed vegetables. This unit has a stainless spout, but the juice collection chamber is plastic. It should have been engineered with a stainless juice collection chamber instead of plastic. It is manufactured in China, so who knows what plastic chemicals mix with the juice.

I purchased this unit directly from Lalanne's website. My elderly mother had a lung transplant in 2008. I bought this for her, to improve her health with a wider variety of vegetables and fruits. She didn't care for juicers because the juices can be very acidic and hard on her stomach. I used carrots, apples, celery, beets, and many other foods following Jack's juicer book recipes. I made two 20 oz juices ONCE A WEEK. By week 15 the motor burned out. I called the factory and told them what happened. They diagnosed the problem apologized. I never registered for warranty work so I gave up on getting a warranty replacement or repair. The other issue was the location of the juice spout. It was way too low. All of my glasses are standard tall sized. 5 oz is not acceptable. I had to put the machine on a big phone book. Silly. I don't recommend this juicer for anyone.

Mathew A. Perumthurutyil | Tuesday, March 09, 2010

Compared to a standard economical Juicer that I had before and using for years, this is not any better! Juicing is same, but the worst part is the motor get jammed every time. Not that good!

Marc Richard | Wednesday, March 03, 2010

I really enjoy the Jack Lalanne juicer. I find it very well made and easy to clean although it takes a few minutes to do so.

I just spray it with kitchen sink sprayer and that's it. I'm a chronic pain sufferer and I have to take medicines that at times bind me up.

Since I've been using this product my fiber intake has gone up considerably which has solved this problem. And their are obviously many other health benefits of juiceing.

The one draw back is you have to be careful of your calorie intake because of the sugars you will naturaly get from some of the fruits.

I do believe that the benefits far out way the draw backs as long as your aware of them and I highly recommend juiceing as well as this product.

Sincerely - Marc Richard

It works like they say it does, cleans easy and seems to be good quality other than that what can I say. Thanks Jack live long and prosper.

Joanne F. Sauder | Sunday, February 07, 2010

This is a great machine! It's durable, easy to clean, and makes delious, healthy juice!

Being a fan of the old white JLL juicer and needing a new one- since after 10 years it took a crip on me. I went to Costco and splurged on a new one. Came home tried my normal juicing the the motor would make a wierd noise and stop juicing. It continually did this. So I returned it, missing my juicer very much, saw it at target and decided to give it another try. Same thing! It was nothing like the old white plastic juicer. This new fancy shinky steel juicer of his is second quality compared to his first. Anyways the second JLL juicer did the same thing and it was very annoying trying to juice when the motor wouldnt cooperate. It was like trying to take my dog for a walk- it just doesnt work out the way I plan. So there you go- two reviews- and to add to it-my sister bought it too and the same thing happened to her! She ended up returning hers and we both found the old white version at Target and it has been working perfectly ever since. I love my juicer. I just wish someone would clean it up for me. Do I clean first and then drink or drink first and then clean? Maybe Ill just leave it there until tommorrow and clean it after my coffee.

The Consumer Advocate | Sunday, January 24, 2010

From watching advertisements for this product, I was lead to believe that it did not leave as much pulp as other juicers. I don't know what other juicers they are referring too but I was unpleasantly surprised at the amount of pulp being left behind. I returned the product for that reason.

J. Bowman | Tuesday, January 12, 2010

I bought this model because I simply couldn't find the difference between Standard, Deluxe, Pro, and Elite - turns out Deluxe has the push-up spigot to stop leaks, Pro additionally has a steel mesh, and . This is the second juicer I've owned, the first went back right away as being far too cheap. This one was mid-priced and I'm not sure I'll bother upgrading to a Breville anytime soon.

First, and most importantly, I use this in addition to a blender. A juicer cannot take the place of a blender, unless it's a 2-in-1, it's meant for extracting juice to combine with pulpier fruits or other liquids. It has no blending or mixing capacity whatsoever, DO NOT buy it expecting blender functionality. I use it once a week or so in big batches and mix the juices in a blender with bananas, protein powder, berries, for some awesome workout power boosts and mental focus. I often include some of the pulp for extra fiber as well.

I think it's a little on the large side already, but it's a good trade-off where it is, fits just under the cabinets. It does extract a lot of juice, and it is truly whisper quiet when it's not juicing. When it is, it sounds a bit like a quiet power saw. Very nice. It's easy to clean with some water pressure, quick and simple to disassemble. I don't let it sit and dry, though.

Downsides: I find cleanup cumbersome, just because the parts are so large and barely fit into two sinks. The flat bowl inside is definitely poor design, I have to tip it to get everything to drain out. Thick skins and cores can slow it down considerably. It takes some practice to quickly take the top off to clean a clogged blade, and it's a bit inconvenient, but it's not that hard and usually only has to be done for very fibrous cores (pineapples, mangoes). I'm going to look into the suggestion to place an O-ring to prevent interior leaks; I've had that happen while trying to drain the last of the juice once. The manual that comes with it is also partly wishful thinking, I mostly use my own experience as a guide.

I will update if anything happens to it over time.

For $89, I give this 3.5-4 stars, but if it was the regular price of over $100, I'd probably lower it to 3.

Anne Curran | Friday, January 01, 2010

Ugggh! I am writing this while watching the J.L. paid advertising. What a sales pitch!
Apples fit only if you buy the small, tiny apples. The same is true for pears, cucumbers, oranges, grapefruit.

The commercial shows them putting whole oranges and pineapple in the machine, but the instructions direct you to peel oranges, grapefruit and pineapple. If you do not peel the oranges or grapefruit it will be very bitter, failing to peel the pineapple will clog your machine (cleaning horror) and give you a throat scraching juice.

What works best? Grapes, peeled oranges and grapefruit, carrots, ginger, raddish, beets, tomatoes
No go's? Anything with large seeds or pits, anything soft (no bananas, peaches,very ripe or soft fruit), no dry hi fiber like wheat grass or spinach

It takes a lot more fruit to make a glass of juce than you might think. An 8 oz glass of OJ takes about 5 med-large oranges. Deffinately not a cost effective process.

I thought clean up was a real pain. The lid, the chute, the mesh strainer, the blade, the basin the blade sits in, the pulp bucket...The infomercial says you can put it in the dishwaher but just looking at the parts that does not seen advisable.

Skip the 'stainless' version if you have to pay more for it. It's fake.

Gazala Khan | Tuesday, December 15, 2009

if u want to get a jucer easy and more juice out of fruits this is it dont worry about 100 dollers its worth it.just learn how to put together if it is not fit right it doesn't work.turn it on before u put fruit in.i have it for 30 days and used it everyday,and i love it.best jucer ever.

David A. Smothers | Thursday, November 26, 2009

All of the problems with design and performance that other have cited hold true. But one thing nobody has mentioned. DO NOT INSERT APPLE SEEDS INTO THE MACHINE. LaLane claims you can put whole apples into this unit, and you can... but apple seeds also contain a cyanide compound, which would not kill you in the quantities you'd get from this juicer.... but I STILL do not want to have trace amounts of a deadly toxin in my system, all because I'm too lazy to slice an apple. LaLane says in his infomercials to put an entire bunch of grapes into the machine, because "The seeds have lots of good nutrients". This seems to say that that machine can pulverize seeds, which is bad news in the case of the apple seed. If a person eats apple seeds whole, the hard coating ussually allows the seed to pass through the digestive tract untouched, thus not exposing the body to the cyanide compunds in the inner parts of the seed. But put those through this machine and cause damage to the seed's coating, and well... you do that math.

DrBill | Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Started a Raw Food diet last month and am juicing regularly and needed a good easy to use and clean juicer. This was recommended and does the job nicely. Easy to use, clean and it even looks great on the counter of my tech gourmet kitchen!

LF | Saturday, October 24, 2009

we love our juicer. no problems with it... enjoy the delicious concoctions. however, there are so many parts to clean. would definitely recommend!

Montana Gal | Wednesday, September 16, 2009

This product definetly extracted a lot of juice from apples and carrots and I did not have to chop up our apples from our apple trees..
but, it got so hot that I had to constantly clean the filter as it cooked the pulp right to the filter and made the unit shake and roar all over the place and smell of burned rubber...I promptly returned my unit.

A. C. Quintero | Thursday, September 10, 2009

I bought this item at [...] and it is good to juice oranges and carrots or any kind of hard vegetable or fruit, but when it comes to green leafy vegetables does not work at all, you will end up with all the leafs in the pulp container and 0 juice as a result, wasted money. This product is advertise as a dishwasher safe, but when I putted in the dishwasher the chute shrank and then every time I push down some fruit or veggie it doesn't come up easily, so end up really being a nightmare, I called Jack La Lane and they said I have to buy a new chute even do I have been only a few weeks with this product. Please buy a slow masticating juicer, much better juice quality, easy to clean, not any dangerous blades or parts, not noise at all, great quality.
