Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Jack Lalanne's JLSS Power Juicer Deluxe Stainless-Steel Electric Juicer
Customer Review: Worst Juicer I've Ever Had
Summary: 1 Stars
This juicer is a complete and utter waste of money. Do not believe the hype! I've gone through a few juicers in over 15 years. I've never seen one like this.
So much vegetables and fruit are wasted. Most of what you're trying to juice ends up in the pulp collector. No wonder they keep going on in their manual and DVD with recipes and ideas as to what to do with your pulp! They give all these recipes for muffins and breads ... but that's not my reason for buying a juicer! I bought it to buy juice. Not to bake muffins! I have never ever seen such little juice come out of a bag of carrots. Unbelievable.
Installing it is a pain.
Cleaning it is even worse.
I wish I'd kept my box so that I could return this.
Amazon should honestly consider not carrying this.
Customer Review: One Great Juicer
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoy the Jack Lalanne juicer. I find it very well made and easy to clean although it takes a few minutes to do so.
I just spray it with kitchen sink sprayer and that's it. I'm a chronic pain sufferer and I have to take medicines that at times bind me up.
Since I've been using this product my fiber intake has gone up considerably which has solved this problem. And their are obviously many other health benefits of juiceing.
The one draw back is you have to be careful of your calorie intake because of the sugars you will naturaly get from some of the fruits.
I do believe that the benefits far out way the draw backs as long as your aware of them and I highly recommend juiceing as well as this product.
Sincerely - Marc Richard
Customer Review: Very Disappointed!
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm also disappointed with Jack Lalanne's Delux Juicer.
I like the low noise. The quantity and texture of juice for fruits that juice well.
These are what I do not like:
The machine doesn't perform as seen on TV. Everything has to be cut into small pieces - it doesn't take whole apples.
Even after cutting into small pieces, the quantity that goes into the chute has to be very little.
The spout clogs up quickly.
The pulp receptor doesn't stay in one place. So it's very messy.
Different fruits have to be juiced separately. I cut apples, pears, peaches, nectarines and sent a mixture down the chute but nothing happened.
Peaches do not juice at all. They clog up the the machine and the peach pulp is as juicy as can be.
Customer Review: Wasted fruit and money.
Summary: 1 Stars
I have to agree with others who have said this machine is wasteful. When Jack mentions you can extract more juice for just pennies I thought, "Hey why not give it a try." However, after trying this product we can't justify the cost since we buy organic fruit. By the time the juicer is done most of what you and I would eat ends up in the pulp collector and we're rewarded with only a measly amount of juice.
Not to mention that there is over six pieces to clean after each use. Moreover in the TV infomercial Jack puts whole fruits in the juicer with piths, leaves, and even the stems. In reality, the instructions advise you against doing such a thing. Overall, in the long run it would be more cost effective and healthier if you just stuck with your blender.
Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm shocked by the good reviews for this thing. I suppose if you are only juicing small apples and small carrots it would be fine. I should have done more research before "upgrading" to this machine. By appearance it looks industrial. I've only used it twice and am very disappointed with it and plan to return it.
I juiced Kale which was almost impossible and got gummed up; carrots were difficult - they were moving constantly because the part that pushes them down is too long so you can't stabilize the carrots while they are juicing; cucumber ended up sideways and so a large piece of skin kept was lodged on the blade and kept other veggies from juicing properly. All in all a bad experience.
Don't waste your money on this one.
