Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Jack Lalanne's JLSS Power Juicer Deluxe Stainless-Steel Electric Juicer
Customer Review: Almost perfect but not quite!
Summary: 4 Stars
I personally bought this one as a gift for my Uncle. His Wife informed me that they "use to" have the same model until moving to Nevada. She stated that their Orig. one burned up & they BOTH felt it was because it gets too hot in Nevada & the mach. needs a cooler atmosphere( They ONLY had Orig. for 3yrs).So I guess if you live in a Hot State you will want to turn your Air on Before running it. My Personal opinion/exp. is that the only Negatives were in cleaning the mach. & the Spout gets clogged during use espec. with Oranges! We take it outside to hose off with a high pressure sprayer,however ALWAYS find little pockets we have to reclean. As far as the spout clogging that just takes a good shake or use of a pointed object to sweep the opening out.Customer Review: Not a good product, and infomercial gives misleading information
Summary: 1 Stars
All of the problems with design and performance that other have cited hold true. But one thing nobody has mentioned. DO NOT INSERT APPLE SEEDS INTO THE MACHINE. LaLane claims you can put whole apples into this unit, and you can... but apple seeds also contain a cyanide compound, which would not kill you in the quantities you'd get from this juicer.... but I STILL do not want to have trace amounts of a deadly toxin in my system, all because I'm too lazy to slice an apple. LaLane says in his infomercials to put an entire bunch of grapes into the machine, because "The seeds have lots of good nutrients". This seems to say that that machine can pulverize seeds, which is bad news in the case of the apple seed. If a person eats apple seeds whole, the hard coating ussually allows the seed to pass through the digestive tract untouched, thus not exposing the body to the cyanide compunds in the inner parts of the seed. But put those through this machine and cause damage to the seed's coating, and well... you do that math. Customer Review: very poor juicer

I've only owned one juicer before so take it for what its worth. I just purchased this and used it for the first time today. I wasn't expecting much and still i was disappointed. the spout is too low to get even a small mug underneath is. also, the spout keeps clogging up. I mean every 2-3 seconds. and when you look at the pulp it's really wet. you'll see whole pieces of grapes not cut up. I consider this product absolute junk.
Customer Review: Great juicer!

Started a Raw Food diet last month and am juicing regularly and needed a good easy to use and clean juicer. This was recommended and does the job nicely. Easy to use, clean and it even looks great on the counter of my tech gourmet kitchen!Customer Review: Best Machine out there for value and performance
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned just about every juicer out there ( Centrifuge and Masticating). I started juicing over 15 years ago starting with the Juiceman. This unit is optimal and a good value. As with all juicers of this type you do not want to juice SOFT fruit. Fresh and Firm is where it is at. This will produce the best yield for juice. Never mix fruit and vegetable juices. There are only a few pieces to clean which will help you to keep juicing longer without giving it up. Vegetable juices are by far the most beneficial of juices. There are health benefits and cautions to note. When juicing fresh garlic be aware that it does lower Blood Pressure. I used good sized amounts mixed with California Carrot. I recorded a 20 point drop in bp INSTANTLY. If you lake BP meds you need to be careful not to run into trouble. Most Doctors are ignorant about juicing benefits. The easy way to tell if a machine is good is by the size of the feed tube. A large one indicates a good motor to chew up the produce. A small one will struggle to work well. Also when you press down while processing the fruit or veggies, If the motor slows on you noticably then you have a dog of a juicer ( no slight to pooches out there). Grasses are best left to masticating juicers for efficient results as are soft fruits. ONLY use CALIFORNIA CARROTS WHEN JUICING. The best is from Bakersfield and or Grimmway farms. The Carrots are as sweet as fruit. Florida is a fair second and no other should be used as they can get real bitter. I use a large Pyrex measuring cup to collect my juice direct from the machine. ALWAYS fit the pieces of the machine together snugly and double check it before you turn it on. If you do not you may chew off some of the top of the unit and effectively ruin your machine by increasing the gap on the bottom of the assembly near the bladed bowl. This last part was extremely important do not forget it. Buy this unit and follow directions. I know you will be a happy camper.
