Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Waring JEX328 Health Juice Extractor
Customer Review: Price is right. Cleaning is easy.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this juicer as a Christmas present for my boyfriend and we've used it nearly every day since. Although I have very limited experience with juicers, I absolutely love this one. I guess it doesn't extract as much juice from the veggies and fruits as a higher priced model, but in order to reduce waste, I simply make a broth from the pulp and mix with my three dogs' meals. Great vitamins and minerals for them and I don't have to feel bad about being wasteful.
Juicing has been a godscend for me. I eat a very healthy diet and have taken various supplements over the years, but there's just something about juicing that really energizes me both physically and mentally. In fact, for one of the first times in my adult life, I've been able to finally get off of antidepressants as a result of the nutrients juicing has provided me.
In short, I bought this juicer because the price was right and I read that clean up was painless (which it is. takes about 5 minutes to clean the components, including the blade). I'm very pleased with it and juicing in general.
Customer Review: Great juicer
Summary: 5 Stars
I chose this juicer mostly because of the price (I paid about $45), because I wasn't sure how much I would end up using it and I didn't want to spend a lot of $$$ on something if it was going to sit in a cupboard. However, I am very happy with my purchase. For the price, this juicer works great. It's very easy to assemble and disassemble, and cleaning it takes about 3 minutes--which really is a huge consideration, since you need to clean it after every use and you might be using the juicer multiple times a day (I do). It's not as efficient as some, I think, because when I clean it out there is still some juice in the tray, but again for the price I think the juicer is a great deal. I've been using mine 2-3 times a day on average for the last month, and so far it's worked fine and I definitely have made a lifestyle change with this product. I juice just about everything, too. Carrots, apples, oranges, lemons, broccoli stems, pears, peaches, etc. The juicer does a great job and my hair and skin have never looked so good. I've also lost weight!Customer Review: My First Juicer
Summary: 5 Stars
This juicer has performed very well. I like the stainless steel cup (no juice stains). The motor very powerful (400 amps) and is holding up well; I've juiced lot's of fruits and veggies so far. The strainer is a snap to clean (I recommend you use an old tooth-brush instead of the brush they give you). Cleaning the pulp after use is also a snap. Cucumbers, apples, and pears go through very easily. Red beets take a little work. Carrots are easy, but make up the majority of the pulp. Also, too many carrots will clog up the pores in the strainer (so be careful) Romain lettuce and parsley are a little tricky. I recommend folding and juicing it first, then any fruits later. I tried cabbage; big mistake (it stinks). And, do not mix grapefruit with any veggie juice (the high acid with veggie juice tastes aweful after a few days in the fridge and is just bearable fresh).
Overall, and excellent addition to my lifestyle.
Customer Review: Good Enough
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this refurbished, at what I thought was a very good price, in conjunction with a T-Fal Kaleo food processor. The two together were to replace a 10yo "Health Station". My husband poohed the idea of a stand alone juicer as a waste of space. He's now a big fan and uses this about 3x a week. It stays on our counter all the time.Its not as easy to clean up as a blender, but its still fairly easy. Immediately rinsing most of it with hot water is very effective, but I scrub the metal basket with a pot brush under running water. My biggest problem was getting all the pulp into wastebasket without getting any *around* the wastebacket. After scooping out what I can into the trash, I found that tapping the rest into the garbage disposal works best.
If you're looking for a citrus juicer, pass this one by. For juicing veges and firmer fruits (banana, yes, but barely), its excellent.
Customer Review: Nice looking, Inefficient
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had many juice extractors before and this one defenitely looks better than most of them and is reasonably priced. Unfortunately it is an extremely, i mean extremely inefficient machine. The pulp it leaves is not just wet, it is soaking with juice. Even lightly squeezing that pulp with hand produces a lot of juice, which this machine could not collect. It is no wonder it happens though, just take a look at the extractor mechanism and the first think that comes to mind is "hm, this must miss a lot of juice" and indeed it does. I would return it if I could and get a better machine, as I am paying almost twise as much for produce for the same amount of juice. The only question I have is who writes all those reports praising how good a machine this is, probably Warring itself.Do not buy this machine, look for something else, you can hardly do worse.
