Tristar Jack LaLanne Deluxe Juice Machine

Good juicing power, easy to clean, in very good condition

Muy bueno

This arrived used and DIRTY!!! I'm disgusted. This was a gift sent, so embarrassing.

My mom needed another one cause she loved the first one so much. First one broke after a very long time of use so she got her moneys worth out of it. Only shock was that the product came in the color black because the pic above of the product ^^^^ is white. My mom uses it every day and loves it.

I love the product

Juicer was in working condition, but had not been cleaned properly. There were food particles in the strainer/filter and the pieces had to be soaked and scrubbed to get them off. The spout was dirty and the key has a deep gouge in it. After we spent time throughly cleaning all the pieces, it seems to work as expected.

You heard the good points now for the Slightly Bad. Out of the box, I found more parts than accounted for in the Manual - such as no instruction how to use a platform (the juicer rests on it), nor how to use the cup holder. Finally figured how to use them. As others said, it WORKS WELL WITH EXCEPTIONS.HARD items like beets, or STRINGY items like ginger = NO GO. Beets brought the juicer to a grinding halt with the smell of METAL BURNING inside. Ginger clogged the blade with its stringy fiber. PULP CLOGS from semihard veggies like roma tomatoes, and any fruit with softness will not work.MACHINE SPITTING of bits from the input chute and the output hood. BE WARY of just dropping hard chunks like small round radishes into the chute - they may SHOOT OUT back at you the top like bullets - I learned to wear plastic lenses after this happened! The output hood littered my countertop with a SPRAY OF PULP bits from carrots, etc. that somehow get regularly spit out the backside, even with a plastic bag inside, as recommended in a telemercial. Speaking of carrots and other dye-like fruits - my countertop was stained. Speaking of stains, the JUICER PLASTIC PARTS STAIN INSTANTLY, so now the juice spout and the insides are no longer white after just 3 occasions of use.SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES, which you can read at leisure in the SF chatroom in craigslist dot org. As well as many SOLUTIONS! Trust me YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS! Read the solutions. Including putting a wide plastic sheet under the equipment to control spray and staining, a plastic bag over the shute to stop food bullets, and a plastic cover over the hood to end spits. Solutions to stop the staining, quick clean the blade, load the shute (because so wide this needs special care), prep, cleaning, drying, etc etc. All for the purpose of a less aggravated juicing disasters and a more happy juicing experience. ADDENDUM: Had to order replacement parts within first month of use - took TWO MONTHS TO GET ORDER FILLED, and then not all the parts were in the box; however they did add an extra blade that did not fit this juicer...!!!

I really like this juicer. It is very easy to use, and the pulp is reusable. The only thing I haven't liked is how difficult it is to find replacement parts. I have misplaced my blade, and haven't been able to find a place that sells replacement blades. The screen is a little hard to clean, but it isn't too big a problem. The screen brush really helps. It is a very sturdy machine, and the juice it makes is wonderful.
