Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Jack LaLanne's JFPJ-B Power Juicer Juicing Machine
Customer Review: juicer
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is excellent. After juicing with this juicer, I'm not sure if I'll ever go back to store bought juice. Maintaining this product is very simple, and easy to clean. I highly recommend this juicer to anyone who is looking to improve their healthy life-style. Customer Review: Great Item if you have a family
Summary: 4 Stars
I found the juicer easy to use and easy to take apart. BUT I am single and did not find it worth my time to make juice. It took 3 regular size oranges to make 12 oz of juice. To use it daily you have to let it set out, it is a big bulky item that takes up counter space. I do however recommend the use of the machine for a family of 2 or more. Just plan on stocking up on a ton of fruits and veggies to get few glasses of juice.Customer Review: Quick-N-Simple
Summary: 5 Stars
Just love my Jack Lalanne Juicer. Liked it so much bought one for my sister. Simple to use and easy to clean up. Especially easy to clean up if you have a dishwasher. The extracted pulp is delicious to snack on. Even my two dauchounds like to snack on the pulp. If you get tired of sweetening with apples try using grapes or pears. I also own the Health Master Blender 100. It's durable and easy to clean. I use it to make smoothies and sorbets. Previously owned two other blenders I bought at KMart. They both had great replacement waranties but they broke twice. So if you make daily smoohties or use your blender often I recommend the Health Master 100. It gets 4 Stars from me. Enjoy a healthy life! Customer Review: Works well, but still too much trouble cleaning
Summary: 3 Stars
No complaints with this juicer's functionality or the way in which it comes apart to clean it. It's just that I don't have the time to use it knowing that there are about 6 parts that need to be taken apart and cleaned with each use. It's easy and well thought out but for one person it's too much trouble to use.Customer Review: Powerful, Quiet, & Long Lasting!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was online looking for a mini juicer that I could leave on my countertop all the time, and saw that Amazon sold this larger one. Since I've owned it for several years, I decided to write a review.
I purchased this one about 8 years ago, as my third juicer. My first juicer would bog down, clog up, and stop running after about 8 oz of carrot juice. My second one wasn't much better, I had to really push to get the carrots thru, although cucumbers, etc, went thru fine. Both of my first two juicers were very loud, not a good feature for me. So then, I saw the infomercial for the LaLanne juicer and the way they fed the vegees thru so quickly sold me. I purchased it and threw my other two juicers away.
For this juicer, I rarely have to chop anything. There is no such thing as a carrot too big for this juicer. Cucumbers and small apples go thru whole as well. I have to cut larger apples in half, but that's still a breeze compared to my old juicers. Celery strings are no problem for this baby. And it's powerful enough that I hardly have to push the fruits/vegees down at all, no matter what I'm juicing. And it's quiet! When I saw the infomercial, I wondered if they did some kind of trick with the microphone to make it seem like the juicer was quiet, but when I used it the first time and was still able to talk to my husband while juicing, I was thrilled. It does of course make some noise, but it's not bad at all. This juicer is also easy to clean; I basically just spray everything good with my sink sprayer and the pulp comes right off. I do use a small brush on the mesh basket, but that goes quick too.
The only thing I don't care for, is that once the pieces to this juicer are washed, I like to let them dry in my dish drainer. It's a real trick to get them all to fit without falling off the drainer. So, instead of juicing every day (which would be healthier), I end up juicing big batches at a time and keeping a few days worth in the fridge, and sometimes freezing what's left over. I just don't care for that bulk in my drainer.
All in all, if you want a juicer that works quickly, extracts a lot of juice, is fairly quiet, can take fairly large vegetables, cleans up easily, and you don't mind the bulkiness of it, then you'll love this one!
Personally, I'd love to find a small countertop juicer with small parts that is easy to clean, yet powerful enough to do a good job, for everyday use. It would be a great counterpart to my LaLanne juicer, that I'd prefer to use just for mass juicing!
