Waring Pro PJE401

Reviewers say the Waring Pro PJE401 (Est. $200), also sold as the Acme Supreme Juicerator 6001, is a well-made juicer that's extremely efficient. Like most juice extractors, it uses centrifugal force to separate liquids from solids, but the pulp remains in the straining basket, which must be emptied periodically during juicing. The tradeoff for this minor inconvenience, however, is greater juice extraction. By holding onto the leftover pulp, the Waring Pro PJE401 can increase juice yield by 20 to 30 percent--and produce cleaner, pulp-free juice. Reviewers say its wide feed tube cuts down on prep time, and it's also easy to clean thanks to disposable filters that fit in the basket. By giving you more juice, the Waring Pro Juicerator 6001 could save you money over the long term. Some users complain about vibration and "walking" as the machine operates. This Waring Pro model is less expensive than the best-rated Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL (*Est. $290) and comes with a longer, five-year warranty but the Breville model gets better marks on speed, power and ease of use.

Our best review of the Waring Pro PJE401 comes from a 2003 report in The Wall Street Journal, which rates the Acme Juicerator (a twin to this model) the best juicer overall out of five tested.
