Jack Lalane Juicer
The Jack Lalane juicer is one of the most well know juicers around. The fact that it is frequently advertised on television in 'infomercials' has undoubtedly helped the Jack Lalane juicer become such a well known juice extractor. For the Jack Lalane to be so popular it must also do a reasonable job of making juice and be capable of doing what it says in the infomercial, right?
One
of the big selling points of the Jack Lalane juicer is the fact that it
has a wide feed chute. This means the chute that you put your juice ingredients
down is wider than most other juicers. In fact the chute is large enough
to pass whole apples down in one go rather than chopping them up into
quarters (or even smaller segments) as you would have to with most juicers.
You can also pass numerous carrots down the chute in one go instead of
one at a time. This can save you time in your juice preparation routines
and many people find it very handy. For those interested another 'whole fruit juicer'
with a wide feed chute is the Easy Health Cyclone. One drawback of
passing the fruit down whole is that you cannot tell if say an apple has
a rotten core before you put it into your juicer, granted this doesn't
happen very often but it can happen.
The infomercial suggests that the pulp from the Jack Lalane juicer is very dry
Another time saving feature of the Jack Lalanne is that it ejects the pulp from the machine which means you can juice continuously without having to stop the juicer and empty the centrifugal basket as you would on non pulp ejecting juicers such as the Magimix Le Duo. The infomercial suggests that the pulp from the Jack Lalane juicer is very dry and whilst definitely being dryer than some lower price range juicers, it is not as dry as the pulp produced by some juicers.
For a centrifugal juicer the Jack Lalanne is not the easiest to clean, in fact there are 8 washable parts and although they only require a rinse, it is still 8 parts to rinse.
Another factor that should be taken into account when buying your juicer is the guarantee it comes with. The Jack Lalane juicer motor has a liftetime warranty but the other parts only have a 90 day warranty! 90 days does not fill me with confidence, compare this to the Cyclone which has a 2 year warranty.
If you are looking for a juicer that will juice a large amount of apples and carrots and similar produce quickly we recommend the Easy Health Cyclone over the Jack Lalanne for reliability, ease of cleaning and juice yield. Another alternative to the Jack Lalane include the L'equip mini 110.5 juicer which is also a centrifugal pulp ejecting juicer with a narrower feed chute.
User reviews of Jack Lalanne Power Juicer
Review by Anastasia from Bristol When i first bought this juicer i was over the moon with it, me and my family used it happily everyday for the first 3 months however during the fourth month it stopped working for no apparent reason. I cleaned it and changed the fuse and it still failed to turn on. The supplier i bought this from has now ceased trading so i am left with i juicer that won''t switch on, an unhappy family and £120 out of pocket. It makes me wonder how much Jack Lalanne paid the people on the TV adverts too look and sound so pleased with it. Beacuse the whole thing is a total con. Score: 1 out of 5 |
Review by Angry and Upset from Bristol, UK Love juicing compost the pulp left over thought the power juicer elite was wonderful in the first month but then showed signs of ware and tear and now after 3 months it will not switch on. I can not send it back. The commercial is total lies it showed cherries and plums being juiced but boy only did them once it was so loud and they took ages to go down to join the pulp. Funny it was loud on the tv! I would give it 1 out of 5 if I could I wouldn''t rate it at all save your money for the Anthony Worral Thompson Pro much better unit altogether. Score: 1 out of 5 |
Review by Daryl Sadbury from Daryl Its a great concept and I was using the juicer religiously. It was really helping with my stools and digestion. In fact, my poops sunk right to the bottom of the bowl which means they were real rich in minerals (the odor was horrific however) Fortunately, I don''t have a girlfriend cause she would have fired me. But then the fucking motor blew out-- its kind of a piece of shit. It needs more power. Score: 1 out of 5 |
Review by Joseph Caputo from Friday Harbor, WA The machine doesn''t work anywhere close to what is depicted in the TV commercial and other video sources. I''m very disappointed for the most part in that the juicer leaks juice and pulp all over and it is just tro much effort requireed to clean up. cleaning the macine of the packed in pulp requires to much time at the kitchen sink. If you do''t clean the machine immediately after use you will indeed find yourself with one great amount of time and effort to get everything cleanded up. The only thing good about this product is that it looks great on the kitchen counter and it does produce a great tasting juice but I defintely wouldn''t recommend purchasing this product.

Review by Patti from Oklahoma My daughter bought me a Jack Lalanne Power Juicer for Christmas this past year (2007). And the ONLY problem I find is the carrots stain the inside, and use a little bleach in the dishwasher takes care of that. I use my juicer at least 2 times per day, wash it by hand,and have not had a problem with it. I am sooooooo happy with it, and would recommend it to any one. Score: 5 out of 5 |

Review by Paul Goldberg from Atlanta Georgia The unit did O.K. for about twelve usages over a period of six months. Then the plastic platform underneath the screw cracked leaving the unit inoperable. The warranty is only for 90 days and so I am out of luck. End up costing me about $10.00 per glass of juice! I have had an Acme Juicer (an old brand) for twenty years and it is still going strong. Lesson? Buy a decent juicer made in the U.S. if possible. Forget buying these cheaper Chinese machines like Jack LaLane Brand. It will not hold up long. Score: 1 out of 5 |
Review by Tyce from Twin Cities, MN I would have given this 5 stars however after 3 months, it seems to be breaking down. I have a power switch issue where when you flick the power on, it doesn''t turn on and you have toy with it (pushing it in) to get it to remain on. Then theres a splashing issue with the juice coming out of the exit reservoir. The top part of it the juice splashes out and doesn''t flow downward. Score: 2 out of 5 |

Review by Dennis from Kansas Generally works well. Bought it on eBay and it lacked the crescent tool that was lost. Took a hitch pin clip/spring-type cotter pin 1/8" x 4" and straightened it to about 8" using vice grips and a vice then bent it into a crescent shape that fit the holes 3-7/8" apart. Another fix would be to get from a hardware store a steel rod 1/8" x 36" and cut off an 8" piece and shape it to fit. Score: 4 out of 5 |
Review by christine joseph from hertfordshire This juicer certainly performed well, but I found it fiddly to clean and it is very bulky to store. However, the worst aspect is if you need any spare parts. I bought my machine from a tv shopping channel and recently lost my blade whilst building work was being carried out. I have spent many hours since emailing people and phoning round to obtain a new blade for my machine. I have finally given up and am looking for a new machine. So, at over £100 my Power Juicer only lasted a year. Score: 3 out of 5 |
Review by Robert Sussman from rsussman11@nyc.rr.com Juicer works fine. Powerful enough to juice all that is supposed to be juiced. (per manual) Quiet operation, easily cleaned. If you treat the unit properly it won''t have 95% of the problems mentioned on this list. HOWEVER: An additional charge was offered for express delivery. ($14.95 for 4-5 shipment). I passed on that charge & it arrived in 4 days anyway. That extra charge is bullshit & should be removed from this offer. Better Business wouldn''t like it! Score: 4 out of 5 |
Review by Devin from Jack Lalanne Jucie AWFUL!! I just bought it brand new from the store. First off the instruction manual was missing from the box. I decided to make some cabbage juice and rolled it into a ball, just as instructed. WOW! It just kinda sat there while the blades ran over it, making hardly any juice while big pieces of leaf were wasted and thrown into the pulp bin. I decided to try some apples and they failed miserably.. I again had to take the machine apart and get the apple chunks out. I then gave up in utter disgust. I plan on trying to take that piece of shit back tomorrow. And no I''m not lazy or stupid, I''m actually a microbiologist so fuck off. Score: 1 out of 5 |

Review by Brian T from Brian The Jack La lanne contrary to the advert was extremely loud at intervals. So much for the claim of whisper quiet. And it began to show wear and tear very quickly, breaking down after less than six months.Not a good juicer, just well advertised. There are far better juicers on the market. Dont make the mistake of wasting your money on this peice of cheap garbage. Score: 1 out of 5 |
Review by Katy from UK My dad bought the Jack Lalanne for us about a month and a half ago and its allready showing significant wear and tear to the part that sits below the blade and ever on the shute which you feed the fruit down. It also keels over if you try and put a carrott in! I was looking for a onlien for an address to write a letter of complaint to when I came across these reviews.

Review by Natalie Shoard from Essex, Uk I have had my juicer for over 3 years now. And I am only just having to look into getting a replacement blade. I am trying to get one from the USA as i cant find anywhere here. But it has served me very very well. I juice every day, sometimes twice a day and i juice everything! All fruits and veg.

Review by James Geddes from London, England Haven''t owned one of these I''m afraid, but by the sounds of things I *REALLY* don''t want to! Blades wearing down after under 10 uses, motors failing for no reason, components melting in the dishwasher, the list goes on and on. Did anyone realise that the previous juicer that Mr Lalanne put his name to, the "Juice Tiger", was recalled because, "the plastic cover and wire mesh grater/filter basket may crack or shatter if the basket is not placed in the juicer properly, possibly injuring people nearby. CPSC and National Media Corporation are aware of 14 incidents resulting in at least eight lacerations to the hands, face, arms, and chest and one permanent eye injury." This is sourced from the official CPSC of the USA website; see http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml96/96086.html for further info. It seams as though Jack needs to put his brain in to action, if he actually possesses one, rather than his muscles, next time he endorses a product... ...third time lucky? Score: 1 out of 5 |
Review by Jane Clarke from London After watching the ad on telly, I was very impressed and looked forward to using my Jack Lalanne! I bought the top of the range, so I could make my own soya milk, etc. I was very, very disappointed. Though easy to use, the pulp was ''juicy'', it leaked down the side when juicing and there was also quite a lot of pulp in the juice. My friend also has a Jack Lalane, she doesn''t use it any more. I returned mine for a full refund. I would not recommend it to anyone. I bought a Phillips Juicer HR1861. Very happy. Score: 1 out of 5 |

Review by Elton from Linc97@gmail.com We have had our LaLanne juicer for 6 months. The white cap on the plunger has come unglued and will not stay on.

Review by John from England This is one of the worst buys I have ever made and I would advise anyone interested in juicing to buy elsewhere. The quality of juice is good when the machine functions properly which is virtually never. It clogs all the time, the pulp goes everywhere except to the collector and juice leaks out of the machine at every conceivable point. Also cleaning is a mammoth chore. It is claimed to be dishwasher safe but cleaning in a European dishwasher (not USA) will void the warranty! Spend your money on something which works, not this rubbish! Score: 1 out of 5 |
Review by dawn from Canada LAZY people disgust me! No one is prepared to work a little for anything anymore. That is why society today is overweight & unhealthy. This is a terrific juicer. The pulp is dry and the juice is very flavorful. Yes, it takes a little work to clean it, but dosn''t everything worthwhile in life take a little effort? For those of you who are too lazy to do a little work for good health, I suggest you continue to sit around on the couch eating fast food and wait for a remote controlled self cleaning device to be invented. By then you should be 6 feet under and I will still be enjoying my juice! Cheers & good health to all the other energetic juicers out there! Score: 5 out of 5 |
Review by Chris from UK The juicer does a fantastic job of making Fresh, wholesome juice. The reason for me giving the juicer 4 instead of 5 is that the cleanup is a bit of a hassle. Also, the pulp catcher is all very well and good, until you find out that not all the pulp goes in there, infact the entire juicer gets caked in pulp. Also the plastic threads that hold the blade on are not in my juicer, perhaps it has been redesigned, but it certainly doesnt seem that this part will be as easy to break anymore. Score: 4 out of 5 |

This one is quick and easy to disassemble - I can dismantle, clean, dry and reassemble in minutes. The pulp from mine comes out pretty dry and the only ''wet'' pulp is the little bit that hasn''t been wazzed out the chute.It is quiet too.

I have several half gallons of OJ in my fridge I may never drink because the juicer is so much better. I''ve never bought or cut open a pinepapple or peach in my life until this week, and the different combinations (including adding bananas and ice in a blender to the juice from this juicer) have kept things interesting and flavorful. The machine itself is durable. Key is don''t twist too hard when putting the blade back on - just enough to be firm, but not like you''re trying to open a stuck jar lid.

Review by Mark from Lawrence, Kansas I''m not real happy with the Jack Lalanne juicer. It doesn''t seem to take the fruits and veggies easily, requiring more hand pressure, plus it often leaves a slice of fruit at the bottom which occasionally clogs up the blade. Clean up is no easier than the Juiceman Jr. I used to have, though it is a bit quieter. I''ve only used two juicers, but I''d rather slice things up more than have a wide shoot that doesn''t take stuff as easy. Sorry Jack! Score: 2 out of 5 |
