How it Works:
- Wash the fruit and/or vegetables and cut them into pieces that fit into the feeding tube
- Make sure the container has been placed under the spout
- Switch the appliance on by turning the control knob to setting 1(low speed) or 2 (normal speed)
a. Speed 1 is especially suitable for soft fruits and vegetables such as watermelons, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers and raspberries
b. Speed 2 is suitable for all kinds of fruits and vegetables - Put the pre-cut pieces in the feeding tube and gently press them down towards the rotating filter with the pusher
- After you have processed all ingredients and the juice flow has stopped, switch the appliance off and wait until the filter has stopped rotating

Fresh Juice, Easy to Make and Clean Up
By Daniel G. Lebryk
This juicer is a surprisingly easy to use and clean, relatively compact, handsome machine. There is enough power to juice just about any fruit or vegetable. This machine makes pulp free juice. Drinking juice made from ingredients that I choose myself is a wonderful thing - there are no mystery chemicals or additives unless I put them in myself. The only caution, fresh homemade juice shouldn't be kept for days, there is just too much opportunity for food safety issues.Compared to our Jack LaLanne juicer (Jack LaLanne JLPJB Power Juicer Juicing Machine), the Big Boss is so much better. The Big Boss is smaller, lighter, easier to clean, quieter, and doesn't spit all over the kitchen when it runs. For the first running, I suited up with an apron, towel on the floor, cleared off the counter and thought about putting on safety glasses. No need for all that personal protective equipment, the juice goes in the glass, the pulp in the huge bin in back, and nothing all over the place. The machine has four suction cup feet to hold it in place.The Big Boss is just simple to use. No tools required for cleaning / disassembly. The cutting wheel / filter takes a tiny bit of force to remove (grab the spigot and rear black pulp ramp then pull upward). Other than that, this is a piece of cake to clean. All the parts are top rack dishwasher safe - but realistically good soapy water followed by a hot water rinse is about all that is required to clean the parts. The cutter / filter is a little bit difficult to clean, the nature of the beast, pulp is kind of hard to remove. The provided "paint brush" doesn't really work very well. I used a good old dish brush and easily cleaned the filter (something like this - Oxo Steel Dish Brush).I like the fact that the spigot is almost six inches high, that leaves enough space to use a good sized glass. It's a good idea to have several glasses on hand, when the motor is turned off a lot of juice runs out of the spigot (centrifugal force keeps the juice inside the machine, when the blade stops, juice runs out). The pulp bin is black so it is hard to know if the bin is getting full. This isn't necessarily a problem since that bin probably holds the equivalent of a bushel of fruit pulp.The box includes the juicer, care instruction book (sort of a quick start guide), and a well illustrated thirty page recipe book.The recipe book contains some excellent food safety instructions. Do not store juice from melons, berries, cherries, mangoes, papayas, potatoes, onions, garlic, cabbage, lettuce, and green (they are all high pH and can grow bacteria very quickly especially in the refrigerator). Do not juice bananas, avocados, coconuts, eggplants, or leeks (mostly because they are soft fibrous or oily and would quickly plug the machine). Don't store juice longer than one month in a sealed container refrigerated or frozen, (I would suggest not more than a few days either way).Orange juice is different from commercial juice. In the factory they use a juice press and filters to remove or add pulp. The juicer essentially grinds up everything and the filter is fine enough that only juice passes through to the glass. The flavor is different. Although the recipe book suggests juicing the whole thing, including the peel, I don't care for that bitter flavor. Apple juice is a fun food chemistry experiment - the juice comes out of the machine clear and slightly yellow colored. After about five minutes the juice turns dark brown, a perfectly normal process.I like this machine a lot. The construction appears to be solid (the filter / cutter has a very simple clutch mechanism to prevent ruining the motor or tearing up the cutter). I especially like how easy it is to clean. And the pulp makes great compost or additions to baked goods.I've added some pictures of the unit disassembled to show how simple it is to clean.

Good Budget Juicer
By Aceto
The Big Boss Juicer is a good introductory model if you are just starting juicing and are feeling your way around.Inexpensive, reasonably compact, and at just over 9 lbs, it has good weight which helps stability and makes it less likely to tip over when the motor is working hard. It has a 2- speed, 700-watt motor which is decent, just not heavy duty. (A 1200 -1500 watt unit would handle a heavier burden and would bite harder, and be likely to outlive its limited 1 year warranty). Because of the plastic housing, I must assume the gears are also plastic. The large 3-inch feeder tube reduces prep time as larger pieces can be inserted. There is no pulp regulator so you vary the amount of juiced pulp after pulverizing by adding back liquid and blending to achieve desired consistency.Like other extractors, the Big Boss Juicer uses a fast whirling disk to cut fruit and vegetables into tiny pieces and then spins to separate juice from pulp. Once separated from the pulp, the juice flows from the appliance's side spout into your glass or container. The side spout design creates spillage as you move to fill different juice containers while the spout drips. The pulp fill container is dark plastic and not see-through; not seeing the level of fill can be frustrating and causes me to stop and peek inside more often.Storage is fairly easy on or above the counter but most kitchens will need to remove the lid for below counter storage. The 2-foot cord hangs from the back and limits counter placement when not in use. Clean up is reasonable; mesh strainer is stainless steel, the remainder of detachable pieces are plastic and described by the manufacturer as dishwater safe. In my experience, plastic cracks, crazes and becomes brittle when repeatedly washed in dishwasher. But since manufacturer specifically recommends that all parts be washed immediately, waiting until dishwasher fills normally isn't an option for me and we wash by hand after any breakfast/lunch juicing. Users making baby food may be more likely to juice closer to starting the dishwasher.I made all our family's baby food to control ingredients and strongly recommend that new parents consider how easy it is and how much better the food quality can be. So I naturally compare the Big Boss Juicer to Williams Sonoma's $150 Beaba Babycook Baby Food Maker and other similiar baby-marketed cook makers. Though I like the idea of a self-contained appliance and ease of the Babycook, blanching vegetables and fruit in a separate pot is quick, easy and I believe less likely to expose food to possible contamination. I also am more comfortable not leaving food in plastic and prefer not to cook or store food in plastic, even at low temperatures. Pulp from the juicer can be collected to make a base for baby food, sauces and soup without preservatives, added salt or sugar. If you desire a less liquid pulp base, the Big Boss Juicer can be a good alternative to a hand held blender. When making baby food, just be sure to add back some of the liquid that contains vitamins and a majority of the nutrients.My wife likes smoothies. During her last order at Jamba Juice, I examined their juicer model displayed for sale. My visual sense is that the same manufacturer may make the Jamba Juice model and the Big Boss Juicer; I would not shave ice in either. In addition:* Mesh baskets on both models appear to be of similar quality and fineness.* The Big Boss filter appears to be about 3 times larger with a larger pulp collection basket.* The 700-watt Big Boss is heavier duty than the 400-watt model.* Big Boss' extra large 3-inch feeding tube is significantly larger.* Jamba Juices' model is single speed.* Surprisingly, Amazon's current price of The Big Boss is cheaper than the model I saw at Jamba Juice.Over the years, my wife and I have collected a number of juicers/extractors/blenders from a 1940's metal hand press model (great for small batches of citrus), a Cuisinart counter top workhorse (good for purees and soups but a mess to clean up), a Cuisinart cordless hand blender (quick for soups and purees, easy cleanup), a blender (good for Margaritas and crushed ice, okay for clean up but used rarely), a heavy-duty Kitchenaide (good for bread, cakes and yes, heavy batches of citrus, and real dishwasher clean-up) and a centrifuge extractor (hard to clean). Clean up on the Big Boss falls in the mid range.The Big Boss Juicer is better for soft foods or dense foods partially cooked like carrots. Juice extraction can have uneven clarity.The Big Boss Juicer gets 3 stars for price, functionality, ease of use and okay clean up. It misses the 4th star because of all the plastic and non heavy-duty wattage. It misses the 5th star for not publishing a website, customer service contact information or replacement inventory costs/ instructions with the enclosed literature. It is made in China.Happy juicing!

By dmhaury
I was skeptical about whether this juicer was going to crap out on me after a month of consistent usage. But it has stood up very very well and for only around 50 dollars.My impressions and tips:1) A juicer is NOT a blender. I repeat, a juicer is NOT a blender. You can't make smoothies in it. It only makes juice. (NO bananas, NO ice, NO super starchy foods). (You CAN juice something then BLEND it with bananas or ice or whatever)2) A juicer is NOT a food processor. You can't puree foods in this. It only makes juice.3) Yes it is pretty big. It's about the size of my kitchen aid food processor.4) Yes it is powerful. There are suction cup things that kindof hold it in place, but I just make sure to keep a hand on the machine so it doesn't fly around by accident.5) Yes it is plastic. That doesn't bother me much because the shredder/strainer is metal.6) Wash IMMEDIATELY. I use the little brush that came with it. I run under hot water and make small circular motions on the strainer to make sure I get all the angles. It does take about 2-3 minutes to clean off, plus I rinse the other 3 parts -lid, pusher, and juice collector funnel (I put a plastic bag in the pulp bin so I can just throw it away).7) Let the machine do the job. Do NOT force the plunger through the machine. It will juice too fast and not extract all the juice from the pulp. I usually take around 5 seconds to juice an entire apple at once (I DO cut it into chunks though and throw all of it in at once). Also, if you force the plunger in, it can scape on the shredder, which is BAD. So I typically slowly feed it through to juice the food, then I kindof pull it back out an inch or two when I turn it off and let it slow down so it doesn't rub on the shredder.8) There are two speed settings. I've used both. 1 for soft foods like strawberries, 2 for harder stuff like beets.9) Follow hard foods with soft foods you're juicing. Example, follow beets with strawberries, or carrots with apples, and vice versa so you can get the max amount of juice from your hard items. (The juice from the soft items will help dilute the juice from the hard items and flow better into your cup.)10) There is a LITTLE bit of splashing when the juice runs into the cup. But I just put a paper towel spread out below the cup and spout.11) It is pretty loud, but if you have a medium/large house, I wouldn't worry about it. Or I guess you could take it into the garage if you didn't want to wake the house (or maybe you do want to wake them up for breakfast).All in all, I am VERY happy with this little machine, there are a few quirks, but I don't find them annoying at ALL, and it is MUCH easier to clean than my food processor actually.
