Brand Name: Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer Juicing Machine Item# JLPJB.
This was my first purchase of a Jack LaLanne juicer – I have hit the over 40 crowd so I am very interested in maximizing my health – and I will definitely add this product to my "be healthy" list.
The first thing I would like to mention is to please pay special attention to the assembly instructions – this product contains many interlocking parts that need to be matched exactly in order to work properly.
Secondly, I would also like to mention that this is a great machine and it does exactly what it advertises (pure and natural healthy juice), however, for all the "newbies" out there, I feel there are some things you need to know prior to purchasing this product , such as:
*Being aware that there is work and clean up involved in operating this machine, that includes the peeling of all skinned fruits (i. e., oranges, limes, kiwi, etc.) and vegetables (i. e., carrots, beets, cucumbers, etc.)
*You will also have to manually remove all unused pulp - and manually clean all cutters and blades, in order to ensure that all previous pulp, skin and seeds have been properly removed before your next juicing.
*In addition to the cost of the machine, it would be a good idea to have a separate budget for the fruits and vegetables you will use for normal everyday cooking – and another budget for the amount of fruit and vegetables needed for juicing in order to use this product on a consistent basis.
It takes quite a bit of both products to produce a standard size gallon of juice.
*This juicer comes with a lifetime warranty for the purchaser only – the warranty does not extend to gift recipients!
*The machine operates very quietly, which makes it perfect to use for early morning or late night hours. Overall, this is a great product that I highly recommend.
