Best Value Juicer
I read the reviews on this juicer and wondered why some gave rave reviews and others gave this juicer rotten reviews. Since most of the reviews were positive I decided to take a chance and buy it. I'm glad I did.
The Decision - Out of all the top reviewed juicers on Amazon Epinion Best-Juicer-Reviews and ConsumerSearch this had the longest warranty (1 yr) highest horsepower motor (1.1 hp) and lowest price ($69). All of the top rated juicers have wide mouths (3+ in) and are dishwasher safe. This is why I bought it. The juicers I looked at were Breville BJE 200XL 800 JEXL BJE 510XL Jack Lalanne power juicer and Hamilton Beach 67650.
The Good - It juices fast it is easy to clean (5 min by hand no dishwasher) and is inexpensive. Most of all it saves me time. I could eat fast food (no more cooking and cleaning as this is dishwasher safe) without having to eat fattening drive-thru food. It is fast and nutritious.
The Bad - It is not cheap to operate because you waste a lot of food in the pulp especially if you make juice from soft fruits and vegetables. If you are making juice from hard stuff it will be very efficient. The pulp will be a fine moist dust. There is very little waste. However if you are making juice from soft fruit it will make a lot of soft mushy wasted pulp. This juicer is perfect for hard stuff like carrots and broccoli stems. For soft stuff like watermelon and spinach leaves I'll use my blender instead. Or you could try re-juicing the pulp to extract more juice out of it. Or you could do what I do to avoid wasting the juicy pulp: I feed my dog the pulp.
The Conclusion - The faults with this juicer are not faults with this particular model but a fault with all centrifugal juicers (spinning knife blade used to juice). A masticulating juicer would produce less waste but would be much slower to operate. It takes a much longer time to make a cup of juice with a masticulating (grinding gears) juicer. A citrus juicer makes citrus juice only.
A perfectionist or very frugal person would probably opt for less wet pulp waste by buying a masticulating juicer such as an Omega 8005. A person with a busy lifestyle would probably prefer a fast juicer that is easy to clean like this one. A person who drinks citrus juice a lot would probably buy a citrus juicer. If you are making wheat grass juice then buy a wheat grass juicer.
Depending on what you need you may get a different juicer. However for the price it is impossible to get a better general purpose juicer. I will re-review this juicer in a year to give a report on it's durability.
