More Pulp than Juice
By P. MSakamoto
The Juiceman appears to be a great value at first. This appliance looks and feels sturdy and comes with two types of juicer. One is the classic "spinning cone" that you press a half a citrus against. It's essentially a motorized version of the glass juicer that we have just about all used at one time or another. The other juicer function is the "juice extractor" which is the configuration pictured in the Amazon website photo. This is the way we spent our testing time, in this configuration, and we were frankly kind of disappointed. The Juiceman produced juice, but it produced a LOT more pulp. I found I could get about as much juice by hand squeezing the pulp at the end of an extraction than the extraction itself. Seemed odd. We followed all the instructions, and our observation is that the recipe yields in the instruction book are optimistic at best. In general, it seemed to take us about twice as many apples to make a cup of juice as suggested in the book. It seemed to take about three times as many carrots. In talking with friends who had more experience with this kind of unit, we found that they had a couple of recommendations: 1. Make sure you have only the freshest, juiciest fruits and vegetables and that you soak carrots and celery in water before use; 2. The several times more expensive juicers exist because they work better. Upon checking some web sources, we found that most of the folks who are really happy with their juicers, whatever the brand, seem to gravitate towards the $300-500 kind. Wow! This Juiceman is $79. So, a way to look at it is, how much extra fruit and vegetable can you buy for the added couple hundred dollars? Probably enough that you'll get tired of juicing before you make up the difference. A poor way to look at it, I'm sure, but here is why I say this.The Juiceman is not fun to clean. Juicing carrots seemed to leave a glaze on the surface of the extractor cup, which is a spinning steel and plastic bowl inside the machine. It has sharp spurs on the bottom of the cup to grind off bits of fruit and vegetable which are then centrifuged against the fine screened sides which allow the juice to fly out into the collection area of the unit when in operation. We went through half a Costco bag of carrots, four apples, a bunch of spinach, four large celery stalks, etc. This required emptying the pulp bin about four times. We got well under a pint of juice altogether. In fact, the four of us were using shot glasses to share the output. When we finished and I went to do final cleaning, it was very hard to remove the filmy glaze on the bottom of the extractor cup. I soaked it overnight in water. The next day, it was still had to scrub off. I used a toothbrush for the task. They supply a cleaning brush in the kit, which is essentially a stiff toothbrush, too. The other parts didn't have the filmy glaze, but there are a lot of parts to clean. The next hardest cleaning task is the plastic labyrinth that leads the juice out of the spout on the front of the unit. You absolutely need a brush or other implement to reach into these spaces to clean unless you have skinny fingers. Whatever you do, don't let this plastic thing sit after use - you need to clean it immediately. The rest of the pieces are more or less like cleaning a food processor.I suppose the bottom line here is that I now appreciate why commercial fruit and vegetable juices are not cheap, especially the "organic" health food types. If you must have this kind of appliance, do a lot of checking beforehand and buy enough juicer that you'll be happy with it. This one is not enough unless you have other uses for all the pulp and have enough time to be inefficient about producing juice.

Good but not perfect
By Stephen J. Carlson
I was excited to try out this Juiceman Juice Extractor, as I had never owned a juicer before. Overall, it's a pretty nice product.Pros:+ Easy to assemble and take apart. It was fairly intuitive for me to put this together without needing instructions.+ Simple to clean. I don't have a dishwasher, but the product says that it's dishwasher safe. I was also happy to find that there is a toothbrush-like cleaning tool included, to help clean the filter piece.+ Simple to close the juice spout. This is a small, but useful feature, for when you are switching out the juice collection container+ Two speeds. The fruits I used worked fine on the slower speed, but it's nice to know that there's a more powerful setting available.+ Comes with a citrus attachment. This is great for making orange juice, lemonade, and other citrus drinks.+ Recipes included in booklet. There were only a few, but it's a nice place to start.Cons:+ Juicing is not perfect. When I put apples through the machine, there were a few bigger pieces (around the size of a nickel) that the machine missed. I didn't think this was that big of a deal, though, since overall the juicer performed pretty well.Overall, this is a pretty good product. I would recommend this to others.

By Edmund W. Cheung
20 years ago I had a juicer for fresh carrot and apple juice, but as life get busier, juicing fell to the side and I gave away my juicer. Well, hitting middle age and after seeing the movie "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and starting a new health routine, I decided to try juicing again. Could not decide which juicer to buy. I read all the consumer report and online reviews of all the juicers I could find. I finally settled on this Juiceman Juicer because:1) I wanted to NOT spend too much in case Juicing was not my thing = great price < $802) Centrifuge Juicer seems faster and enough for my needs (NO fine Wheatgrass)3) It seemed the most simple to set up and clean when seeing it in the stores.4) It was on sale (in store only) at Target for $54 - can NOT beat that price for any juicer anywhere.5) It has an extra adapter to juice Citrus fruit.6) It has 2 speeds and a nice powerful 1.1 hp motor with 2 year warrantee.I went to Food-4-Less and bought 3 grocery bags of various veges and fruits for $21. Twelve juicing oranges for $1.80 made almost 5 cups of OJ (cheaper than the cartoon concentrated stuff). Juiceman did a great job with the Kale, Spinach, and Beet stems (put them in first). Two pounds of Carrots (wash and soak first) for $1.40 made over 2 cups of juice very quickly. Even more juice from the apples.Yes, I had to empty the container of the pulp a few times, but SO WHAT is the problem??? It took me lees than 20 seconds to do and it all went into the compost. The pulp was a little on the moist side and I was able to manually squeeze a little more juice out of it, but again WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? I was not like the pulp was dripping wet. Perhaps some machines may be AT MOST 10% more efficient but then just use a little more veges or fruit. You can NOT compare this centrifugal juicer to a masticator. For the $250 difference in price, go buy yourself another 800 pounds of veges. Clean up was easy. Just make sure to scrub down the fine metal filter first and put everything in the dishwasher.I have to say am VERY VERY VERY pleased with this Juiceman Juicer.Pros- Very inexpensive compare to all other juicers out there (10 visits to Jamba Juice will pay for this)- Nice Citrus Juicer attachements as bonus- Quick and efficient- Easy set up and clean upCons- Very Loud- probable 80 Decibles (but who cares - motor only on for a few minutes at a time).- you have to empty the pulp tray frequently (but is this society that lazy?)- perhaps 10% less efficient compare to the best juice out there (but for the money, BUY MORE VEGES!)
