Does anyone own a juicer?

[pinkplasticdoll]

We bought the Breville juice fountain plus over the weekend and I am not really impressed with it so far. I am actually debating on taking it back today. 

Derp I hit post before I was finished.

I am disappointed with the way it is leaving them whole instead of breaking them down. Can anyone recommend a better juicer?or if you have this particular one tell me how to like it more.

We have this one. I love it, even though it kind of is a PITA to clean

Yes, I don't like juice but H has this Jack LaLanne one. It works really well, the pulp is close to dry even and it's pretty easy to clean too.

We have one. I feel like it works well, but I am annoyed at the amount of space it takes up compared to how often it is used.

This is the one we have.

We like it, we don't use it all that often but it's easy to clean and gets a really good amount of juice out.

We have the Breville fountain juicer as well and it doesn't leave them whole. Like, it's not breaking down the fruits/vegetables all the way?

That is exactly what it is happening. I am checking the fiber collection bucket and there are whole leaves of spinach/kale and whole chunks of apple and strawberries hanging out inside of it. I have read the instructions carefully 3 times and put it all together carefully each time I am using it and still chunks of the fruits/veggies are ending up the bucket.

Weird! We've had ours for three years and I really love it. Obviously this has never happened with mine. I don't blame you for being unhappy, juicing is expensive! I'd send it back, definitely.

We also have a Jack Lalanne juicer. It's ok. It's about as old and tough as he is. Lol.

I will say that the Jack Lalanne one doesn't work very well with Kale or Spinach either. Some of the leaves come out intact.

But oranges/apples/peaches, etc all work great.

My kids love to juice!

I have a breville one too, will have to check the model when i get hone, but it is fab. I love it! It was one of their expensive ones, and you can put whole items in there and it works perfectly.

People with the Jack Lalanne...

Do you put the whole fruit in, seeds and all? We've always cut those parts out before we put them in because we're afraid we're going to tear up the mesh filter.

We always cut out the seeds.

[midnightrae]

I don't have one, but I'm posting so I can come back to this thread. I'm looking for a juicer.
