Jack LaLanne Juicers are one of the best known juicers on the market today. These Power Juicers were conceived by Jack LaLanne who is a nutritional expert and is known as “the godfather of fitness”. Leveraging a patented centrifugal extraction technology, these Power Juicers are known to deliver up to 30% more juice than competing models. In addition, these are centrifugal ejection juicers which mean that the pulp is ejected while juicing. This allows for continuous juicing versus non-ejection models which require the juicer to be stopped when the pulp level builds up.

Power Juicer Models

There are 5 different Jack LaLanne juicer models which are all built off the same core design/motor and have the same basic features. The standard features are:

250 watt motor which provides 3600 RPM

3 inch round feed tube

Stainless steel grinding plate

Detachable pulp collector

Two of these models (Power Juicer Express and Power Juicer Elite) are sold directly from the manufacturer. The 3 other models are sold through many different retailers

Power Juicer Classic - the entry level Jack LaLanne juicers

Power Juicer Deluxe - in addition to the entry level features, also includes a non-drip spout and a stainless steel finish.

Power Juicer Pro - same as the deluxe but has a stainless steel mesh filter instead of a plastic one.

The Bottom Line

There are many different juicers on the market today. The Jack LaLanne juicers are well known due to the infomercials and based on Jack's overall celebrity status. Based on reviewing many user reviews, the warranty, and the price, there are other options that might provide a better juicing experience. These include:

Hamilton Beach 67650H Big Mouth Pro Juice Extractor - This juicer costs about $20 less, has a 1 year warranty and a more powerful motor

Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain - This juicer is about the same price, but has a more powerful motor and much higher customer ratings.
