Customer Review: Dr Weil Spring Switzerland - Worst Juice Extractor I've Ever Used
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been juicing heavily for several years now and was very pleased with the Jack LaLanne power juicer I got in 2007. Probably the only reason I spent $149 for the Spring Switzerland juicer is that it was endorsed by Dr Weil so I figured he at least checked it out. Not only is this juicer awkward to use and to assemble/disassemble, it is very inefficient. So inefficient that I started to collect the wet pulp in a mesh bag squeezing out a considerable amount of juice from the pulp every time I juiced. While this juicer sounds good -- two speeds, low speed for soft fruits and vegetables, high speed for harder ones -- it expels the pulp into the collection container too quickly leaving a lot of juice in the pulp for throw-away. It seems to be one pass through the blades and that's it in contrast to a centrifugal juicer which extracts the juice from the pulp pretty well. During operation, juicy pulp "escapes" dripping down the side of the juicer making a mess. To boot, it's a pain in the butt to clean. I am thoroughly dissatisfied with this product. I purchased this juicer in late Spring 2010. By late Summer I'd had enough and purchased another Jack LaLanne juicer from Target for $89.00. Jack's current juicer definitely has some improvements over the one I bought in 2007 -- it's very quiet, does a good job of extracting the juice from the pulp. It will even juice wheatgrass (see the instructions). I was so annoyed with the Weil juicer, wondered if Spring Switzerland even understood the concept of a juicer for fruits and vegetables and very disappointed that Dr Weil has his name on this product. What a waste of money. The juicer is sitting in a bottom cabinet - probably never to be used again. Save yourself a lot of money and aggravation - steer clear of this juicer.
Description of Dr. Weil's Healthy Kitchen 9816 1000-Watt 2-Speed Professional Juicer
Dr. Weil's Professional Juice Extractor unique auto feed feature extracts juice a second time around with our exceptional blade disc! This enables you to have 82% more juice extraction for apples and 15% more juice for other fruits and vegetables! Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are not only delicious but full of vitamins and minerals. Once the fruits and vegetables are juiced the pulp remains. This pulp contains fiber and cellulose which also contains vital nutrients so why not use the vegetable pulp to thicken stews and soups or add it to sauces for additional flavor and nutrients. Sweet and delicious fruit pulp can be used in desserts or to thicken fruit sauces. The juicer has two speeds. High speed is for the hard fruits and vegetables like apples, carrots etc ? and low speed is for soft fruits and vegetables such as watermelon, grapes and strawberries. Check out Dr. Weil?s recipes in the back of the owner's manual. Not only are they delicious and healthful, but they were also meant for you to use as a pattern to develop your own fabulous recipes. We hope they will spark your imagination and help you to discover the many uses of your new appliance.Juicers
