Early users called the juicer bulky and unattractive, while newer users felt the machine fit right in with their kitchen décor. 2 reviewers noted the plastic blade attachment has cracked when attempting to tighten, but several reviewers disputed this idea asserting that according to the manual, the purchaser should take care not to over tighten. There were 2 owners unhappy with having to return the juicer after very little use. It was their complaint that the motor died. Thankfully, the warranty covered it and in a week, they received replacements. Shipping costs were considered high, though.

The majority of the users felt that when the LaLanne juicer works, it works well. The pulp produced by the machine was said to be especially dry, leading one to believe that claims of 30 % more juice than other home juicers is correct. The juicer was said to easily stain after extracting from darker colored fruits and vegetables, so alternating with non-staining fruits and vegetables is needed to prevent permanent staining. Many consumers were satisfied the removable parts are dishwasher safe. The biggest cleaning complaint was that while easy to run through the dishwasher, the fine mesh screen is easily clogged and may require special cleaning. This led one reviewer to note, were it not for the cleaning, she might have used it more often.

Though the juicer is not perfect, it is of good quality based on the price and the warranty allows for quick replacement. There is something to be said for fractured plastic parts, but as long as the blade is not tightened too much, reviewers felt it could be avoided. The biggest and most important thing of all is that the LaLanne juicer does its job and juices most fruits and vegetables quite well. For the best use peeling and removing the seeds from the produce prior to juicing to prevent any damage to the machine warrants it. As long as basic understanding of what to expect is remembered, most that purchase the LaLanne juicer will be satisfied. Jack LaLanne’s JLPJB Power Juicer Juicing Machine

The LaLanne juicer has a hushed motor, so users will still be able to hear themselves think while it is in use. The blade is made of surgical stainless steel, but users will want to have an extra one on hand as it wears down by the time a year is up. The safety features ensure that if the machine is not aligned properly, it cannot be used. The way the blade has to be fastened in also causes some damage if tightened too much.

The feed chute is fairly considerable in size, so larger fruits can be fed into the juicer whole. Items such as peeled melons, apples (cut up and seeded), and carrots do the best job in the juicer. Removing the peels from oranges and grapefruits is a must because they will not separate well. If there are leafy items, they need to be bunched together to properly extract the juices or it can be chaos. The LaLanne juicer comes with a mesh strainer that catches the pulp. If not removed and cleaned it can be a terror to clean. As a matter of fact, the juicer needs to be disassembled immediately after use and washed thoroughly. Removable parts are dishwasher safe. If darker fruits and vegetables, such as beets or dark leafy greens are juiced, it can stain the juicer. While feeding the fruits and vegetables, it can get a little messy. The amounts produced at one time are less than stellar, so don’t expect a large glass if juice without juicing again.

If the user is expecting industrial strength usage, don’t. The LaLanne juicer is definitely for home use only, allowing control over what is being sipped. It will do an excellent job of producing quality juice for the whole family.

According to most users, the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer Pro does what is expected. It juices both fruits and vegetables and features a stainless steel blade and 3600 RPM motor with an extra large feed chute to accommodate the bulkier fruits and vegetables. There is also a stainless steel mesh strainer to prevent pulp from entering the dispensed juices. The LaLanne juicer is also supposed to extract 30% more juice compared to other juicers, a benefit for the dollar conscious. If there are larger quantities needed, users noted the need to use more than one glass. No pitcher size amount of juice, here.

For those that juice mainly fruit, it will do so quickly and efficiently. Pears, tomatoes and grapes are a breeze. It works especially well with harder produce, such as carrots and apples. For other fruits and vegetables it can be a mixed bag and there are some produce where it is best to peel and seed prior to juicing. Many juicers felt extraction from leafy green vegetables is not as smooth as it could be.

Reviewers for the most part, felt the residual pulp is fairly dry. For those that are environmentally conscious this would be excellent for adding to a compost pile. One concern is that very same pulp could adhere to the mesh strainer. It can be a bear to clean completely and needs to be disassembled. Rinse immediately after use and for the mesh filter, try a baby bottle-brush or a toothbrush. Cleanliness will be essential to keeping the LaLanne juicer running smoothly. There is a replacement blade available to purchase for the LaLanne juicer. Those that use it regularly recommended an extra blade on the side as the blade can dull within a year. Since it is for home use, it should be treated as such. Take care not to overheat the motor. It is a welcome addition for anyone on a path to a healthier lifestyle.
