Juicers Reviews Reviewed

1. Consumer.org.nz >> Details/Subscribe	Juicers Editors of Consumer.nz.org Oct. 11, 2005		Editors at Consumer, a New Zealand magazine that's similar to Consumer Reports, test eight juicers for performance, ease of use and juice quality. They juice fruits, putting the machines through their paces. They juice watermelon and pineapple together to see if the machines will choke on the combination of hard and soft fruit. Two Breville machines, whose U.S. equivalents are the Fountain Plus and Fountain Elite, earn top marks. Other high scorers are unavailable in the United States, unfortunately.
2. Choice.com.au >> Details/Subscribe	Juicers Editors of Choice.com.au Aug. 2005		This website is the Australian equivalent of Consumer Reports. Although most of the products rated in this report are not available in the U.S., the top-rated Breville 800 Class Commercial Juicer 800JE and the Breville Juice Fountain JE95 have U.S. equivalents (the Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL and Juice Fountain Plus JE95XL, respectively). Editors say both the top-rated Breville juicers have large chutes and are easy to clean. In addition to juicer ratings and a buyer's guide, the article describes how juicers work.
3. Which.co.uk >> Details/Subscribe	Juicers and Smoothie Makers Editors of Which.co.uk Aug. 2006		Which? is a U.K. magazine that offers a detailed comparison and review of 14 juicers, some of which are available in the U.S. In the course of testing, editors processed 450 oranges, eleven pineapples, 31 kilograms of beets and many other fruits and vegetables. Top honors go to the Breville Commercial JE4 and its twin, the Antony Worrall Thompson.
4. Wall Street Journal >> Details/Subscribe	A Juiced-Up New Year Charles Passey Dec. 26, 2003		Although it's outdated, this is one of the least biased and most thorough reports we find. In a five- product roundup, Charles Passey concludes that there is no “one-size-fits-all juicer.” Quiet machines may be slow, while ejection models can have small feed chutes. The Juiceman 2 JM502, Omega 4000 and Green Star GS-3000 earn high marks, while the Acme Supreme Juicerator 5001 is rated best overall. It's comparable to the Green Star in that it yields dry pulp, but comes with basket filters for easy cleanup. The reviewer rating for best value goes to the L'Equip 110.5.

5. Epinions	Juicers Contributors to Epinions As of Oct. 2007		Epinions' methodology of collecting individual impressions from users poses some problems. While real-life use of a product can sometimes offer the best perspective, many models here get top ratings with so few reviews that it is difficult to see which models truly rise above the rest. The Waring JEX328 Health Juicer, the Black & Decker CJ525 CitrusMate Plus and Breville models all receive high ratings from owners.
6. Amazon.com	How to Buy Juicers: Getting a Fresh Start without Leaving the House Andrea Grover Not Dated		This Amazon.com article offers useful buying advice but doesn't recommend, rate or discuss specific models. In Amazon.com's product pages, several models receive good ratings from owners. The Breville 800JEXL earns high scores from numerous owners. The Breville JE95XL is highly rated, but many motor-failure reports are sprinkled within the compliments. Amazon.com is an excellent site to visit once your choice is already narrowed down a bit. The Hamilton Beach HealthSmart 67800H receives some of the lowest ratings.
7. Cooking.com	Juicers Editors of Cooking.com As of Oct. 2007		Cooking.com not only shares customer reviews, but also offers Buying Guides from the culinary experts at The New Cook's Catalogue. Check out the Buying Guide for juicers to learn more about the different types of juice machines. Top models here include the Black & Decker CJ525 CitrusMate Plus, Omega 4000, Waring JEX328 and Breville models.
8. Target.com	Juicers Contributors to Target.com As of Oct. 2007		Target sells a variety of juicers and allows customers to post reviews for the products they've purchased. This is a new feature at Target.com and there are few reviews actually posted at the time of this report. Currently, the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor 67600H scores the highest among Target customers.

9. Living and Raw Foods Marketplace	The Best Juicer: Is There One? John Kohler Not Dated		Living and Raw Foods sells juicers for people who are going to use them regularly. As such, its editors advocate the most durable and flexible machines. Of course, these also tend to be the most expensive. The writers argue against low-powered, light-duty juicers like the Juiceman Jr. Instead, they recommend centrifugal ejection models, like the Nutrisource 1000, L'Equip 110.5 and Juiceman 2 JM502 for most purposes. People interested in a lifestyle change through a living/raw food diet are steered towards Green Star and Omega models. We'd like to see this article updated.
10. Juicing.com	Juicers: A Consumer Guide Editors of Juicers: A Consumer Guide Not Dated		Although this site also sells juicers, its editors aren't afraid to compare models. Editors stress ease of use, juice quality and durability when rating machines. Four juicers are rated highly. The Acme Supreme Juicerator 5001 and Omega juicers yield the most juice and are easy to clean. The Juiceman 2 JM502 and Miracle Ultramatic are both continuous-feed machines that are convenient for making larger quantities of juice. Industry engineers and nutritional experts base ratings on “technical evaluations” of each machine. Editors here are strong proponents of purchasing more expensive, higher-end models unless you aren't planning to juice on a daily basis.
11. 877MyJuicer.com	Juicers Editors of 877MyJuicer.com As of Oct. 2007		This site has some good information on how which type of juicer is best for which type of user. While there isn't much critical information here, 877MyJuicer.com is a good place to find replacement parts for a variety of juicers.
12. Vitality Plus	The 2006 Vitality Plus Juice Extractor Test Editors of Vitality Plus Not Dated		This retail website sells juicers, but it also publishes testing details for eight of the most popular juice extractors on the market. Each extractor is tested with 2.5 pounds of carrots and 2 pounds of spinach. Detailed test results are provided for each model and the short write-ups include critical details. For those reasons, the ratings appear to be less biased than at some retail sites. The SoloStar-II SS-9002 and Green Star juicers receive top marks, while the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer is found to be the least efficient of all the high-speed machines tested. Vitality Plus also offers a nice article on the benefits of juicing. This site also sells Green Star and Solo juicers, however, so we take the results with a grain of salt.
13. Happy Juicer	Juicers and Juice Extractors Editors of HappyJuicer.com Not Dated		Along with user ratings, this site includes how-to articles. The Champion Juicer is rated best overall for its simple operation and clean up. The Magimix Le Duo receives the best-value rating. The Green Star has the best health benefits and ties with the Twin Health juicer in overall ratings. They both produce “the highest quality juice, rich in taste, deep in color and with the longest shelf life of all the juices made from the machines on test in our head-to-head juicer review.”
14. Eat Veg	The Healing Power of Juicing Dr. Cynthia Foster, MD Not Dated		These proponents of a vegan lifestyle say juice fasting is great therapy for many ailments. The article discusses the process of and recipes for fasting. The author recommends the Omega 4000 for beginners and the Champion Juicer, which is said to be durable, easy to clean and includes attachments for butters and desserts. If you'd like to churn wheatgrass and stems, the Green Power or Green Life juicers are advised. It's unclear why these models are chosen over others.
15. Mercola.com	Improve your Health with the Best Value Juicer on the Market Dr. Joseph Mercola Not Dated		Again, another juicer-selling site offers recommendations. But what makes this site different is that there is only one featured juicer, the Omega 8003/8005, which Dr. Mercola says will “serve all your juicing needs.” That includes veggies and fruits, as well as wheatgrass, butters, desserts and pastas. He tries to soften the price blow by letting us know that other top juicers can cost $800 and even $2,000. The Braun MP80 is suggested as a more affordable alternative.

16. FitnessInfomercial Review.com	Jack LaLanne Power Juicer Editors of FitnessInfomercialReview.com As of Oct. 2007		Consumers give conflicting opinions on the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer. Some love this model while others complain of overheating and breakage. No other juicers are rated here.
17. Consumer Guide.com	Juicers/Juice Extractors Editors of ConsumerGuide.com As of Oct. 2007		Although editors give some juicers a performance rating, no juicers appear to have been subjected to practical testing. Write-ups consist exclusively of information about features. Nearly all of the recommended juicers are mainstream brands costing less than $100.
