- Good juicer
- The only thing I found better in this unit than it's older model is that the food insertion hole is bigger. That is great for apples & such, but not good for carrots. The Carrots slide around & jump up & down, making it hard to get them juiced.
Clean up requires its wrench for the cutter area, but is easy to clean once apart.
It culls out all the bad stuff very well. Good juicer! - 2008-12-02, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- juicer
- I'm usually intimidated by new appliances, etc. so this juicer was in the box close to a month before I even took it out. This juicer is very easy to use, and comes assembled, so I was pleased. I have only used it once, but I am very delighted with it. It comes with 2 recipe booklets for making a variety of juices, plus recipes for healthy, whole grain muffins and cakes using the pulp. Use the food pusher as instructed so the veggies don't pop back out. Also for ease of cleaning it is suggested to line the pulp collector with a plastic bag. There is cleaning involved but to be expected and comes with the easy tool to disassemble the blade, I would buy it again in a second. Particularly great if you have your own garden and an excess of vegetables.

- save your money
- I was so disappointed in this machine. It does make great juice and it is easy to make it, but for the amount of time it takes to take it apart and clean it, it is just not worth it. It is definetly easier to clean and peel your own fruits and veggies and put them in the blender. It is also a pretty big machine, not something you would want to leave out on a kitchen counter all of the time.

- Motor of juicer just stopped not even finishing 1 glass of apple juice
- It took a while for my Power Juicer Pro to arrive since my cousin had to ship it from the US to the Philippines where I live.
I was so excited to use the juicer but we haven't even finished making 1 glass of apple juice and the motor just stopped. It wouldn't start again and we don't know what to do. If we send the item back to the US through courier, it would cost as much as the juicer so we made the most expensive half glass of apple juice ever! There's no quality control and I wouldn't buy Jack Lalanne again! - 2008-08-05, 0 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Juices many hard fruits and veggies well but not soft or geens. Cleanup is lousy.
- I bought this juicer to improve my jucing lifestyle and it has done that exactly. I juice more now than I ever did before. I have made many great juice drinks for myself. With no previous juicing experience in juicing, it has served me well.
The pulp that falls into the pulp catcher seems to be to moist. This leads me to believe that it's not getting most of the juice out of the fruits/veggies that I am hoping for. If I put any greens into it, even when I ball it up and follow it with hard veggie pushing down, It seems to get very little green juice. Soft fruits also do not seem to do that well. So there are fruit and veggies I do not put into my juicer.
Another problem I have is that pulp sometime come out the sides of the pulp catcher. And the cleaning up after this is a pain-in-the butt. To be exact, it is lousy. I love juicing so I bear with it.
I am looking for another juicer that will expand the number of fruits and vegetables that I can juice as well as a juicer that will get more juice out. The prices for fruits/veggies has gone up and I want more bang for the buck. I probably will invest in a masticating unit either a sinle auger or double even if they cost more.
This unit has given what I wanted initially, but has outlived it's use and capabilities for me. If you cannot afford a larger unit, this is a good unit as jack Lelanne sez. - 2008-08-04, 0 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
