I like my Jack LaLane Power Juicer Classic because its very simple to use and lightning fast.
Very little assembly is necessary to setup and start using the Jack LaLane Power Juicer Classic.
Simply set the unit on a flat surface, place the pulp bin in the back and start juicing!
It doesn't get any easier than that.
The wide mouth allows for almost all fruits and vegetables to pass through without any cutting, however "woody" vegetables such as beets should be cut in half to help the Lalane juicer to "chew" through them.
The Power Juicer Classic speed for processing soft fruits such as oranges or lemons is incredibly fast and allows for juicing a whole gallon worth in barely five minutes.
One caveat-the pulp is not as dry as a masticating juicer would provide. Still it's dry enough to refrigerate or freeze for later use in other dishes for added nutrition.
The main drawbacks to the Jack LaLane Power Juicer Classic are the sound levels during processing.
The sound can be very loud depending on what is being processed. Hard vegetables create a squealing sound as they pass through.
Cleanup is easy for most foods, but citrus fruits and certain grasses tend to get trapped beneath the centrifuge, requiring it to be unscrewed and taken out to clean fully.
Aside from those two issues, this is a very simple machine to work with.
We payed around $100 for the Jack LaLane Power Juicer Classic, so I think it's a steal given the fact that it outlasts it's 90 day full warranty, and serving us for 6 months now.
It does include a limited lifetime warranty on the motor, which proved unnecessary in the whole time I owned it.
In short, the Jack LaLane Juicer power juicer Classic is great juicer for anyone pressed for time and a good start if you are new to juicing.
