Jack LaLanne Power Juicer Elite Product Description:
Product Description
The Power Juicer Elite allows you to make all the delicious juices the previous models can make with the easy to use large shoot meaning you don't have to chop fruit before juicing. This latest version of the original Power Juicer boasts the same non-drip spout & re-designed pulp catcher but offers the capability to juice fruit with stones such as plums and cherries as well as combining soy beans or nuts with water to produce cost effective and delicious milk.
Looking even more stylish than its predecessors, the Power Juice Elite is available in a stylish glossy black and silver finish while the high output motor and surgical stainless steel blade provide maximum performance, allowing you to juice every part of your fruits and vegetables. The pulp is dry, so there is less waste and more nutrients.
You will be proud to show off this new product on your kitchen countertop and will wow your family and friends with the multitude of juices and milks you can make.

Why 'Elite'?
By exorcist42
I purchased this particular juicer after spending nearly two years with my regular Jack LaLannes Power Juicer (which I gave away as I wanted something a little more powerful). After opening it and using it a few times, I can honestly say that I have found absolutely no difference between the two juicers (other than the colour!). It's probably slightly quieter than the regular version, but that's where it ends. The juicing efficiency is exactly the same. I also hoped that the so called 'non drip' spout was an improvement...sadly not. Another problem I had with the older version was that the spout was too low so I had to always use a cup to collect the juice and then transfer it to a bigger glass if I was making a larger quantity - This problem remains. With the regular version going for less and less these days (currently half the price of the 'Elite') I would certainly recommend not going for this machine unless there is a major drop in price.

great product
By G. K. Sagoo
I received the juicer about a week ago and since then I think we have drank fresh juice everyday. The product is really good and when on is really quite compared to other juicers and the pulp which is released is really dry (unlike my last juicer). The juicer also looks really trendy and stylish and the recipe book provided is also very convenient. However the only down point about the product is that it is very big and takes up quite a lot of space and with some fruits you do have to push a bit hard to get the juice released. But other than that it is a fantastic product and I hope it lasts.

A Healthy Lifestyle Change
By Bentley
Is it hard for you to eat your vegetables and have enough fruit servings in a day? It was for me; so I decided to buy another juicer. My last juicer had a very small spout and you had to cut up everything before you put it into the juicer; and it was extremely noisy. I got rid of it because it did not measure up.I purchased the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer and have been very pleased with it. I read the other reviews and I will try to respond to them as well based upon my own experiences. First, for me the juicer that I have has been excellent. I juice fruits and most vegetables. You have to insert soft vegetables followed by hard vegetables for it to work optimally. I have had no problems following the directions which indicate that this works best.I have made some wonderful drinks with the Power Juicer. Here is one called the Energy Boost Drink which I love:1 Carrot1 Celery Stalk1 Beet RootParsleyLettuceWatercressSpinach3 TomatoesSalt To TasteIt is terrific and the machine does an exceptional job with very little pulp at all.I don't think the machine does as well with grasses. Especially if you are not following them up with a hard vegetable or fruit upon insertion.However, the following fruits and vegetables have worked well for me (I have used all of these in juices so far):FRUITS:Pineapple, Apples, Guava, Papaya, Oranges, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupes, honeydew, limes, lemons, strawberries, grapes and blueberries only if followed by a hard fruit, grapefruit, mangoes, raspberries only if followed by a hard fruit, kiwi, peaches (pitted), pearsVEGETABLES AND HERBS:Carrots, Celery, Beet Root, Parsley, Lettuce, Watercress, Spinach, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Peppers, Ginger Root, Kale, Fennel Bulb, Horseradish Root, Garlic, Onion, Cilantro, Cauliflower, Broccoli, LemongrassI have the Power Juicer Deluxe (I BOUGHT IT IN A STORE - MODEL CALLED DELUXE) and I have now learned that there is a Power Juicer Elite which does even a better job with soft fruits, nuts and soy. In the Elite Model, you can make your own soy milk, almond milk while extracting the juice from the nuts, themselves. You can even put plums, peaches and cherries in whole. For the reviewer who is interested in a more advanced technology to handle the grasses and the soft fruits better, I would recommend spending the extra money and getting the Power Juicer Elite model.Just be careful to check out which model you are actually getting because there are "slight" differences between them. I did find with the Deluxe model that the lemongrass and the berries if not followed by a hard fruit or vegetable did not work as well. However, the Power Juicer Elite should work well for those looking for soy technology (rice milk, coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk).ABOUT THE DISHWASHER: I have found the dishwasher to be perfectly safe for all of the components, but I only put them on the top shelf. I would not trust them close to the heating element of the dishwasher. I honestly have put all components in the dishwasher with no problem (only top shelf). In fact, many times I clean the juicer components easily with the sprayer in less than 5 minutes; and it does not seem that difficult for me; although I use it every day and maybe I have gotten use to it. You can also purchase separately from Jack LaLanne a special scrub brush which works extremely well in cleaning the filter very quickly and safely. I would recommend that additional purchase and it can be found on the Jack LaLanne site under Accessories.Here are some of the different models and what they offer the user:POWER JUICERORIGINAL* Special Patented* Extraction Technology* Extra-Large Round Feeder* Super-Sized Detachable* Pulp Collector* Dishwasher Safe* Whisper-Quiet Operation* 3,600 RPM Motor Has* Lifetime Guarantee* Built-In Safety Features* Surgical-Quality* Stainless Steel Blade* Commercial QualityPOWER JUICER PRO:* Stainless Steel Body(THIS IS REALLY THE ONLY DIFFERENCE FROM THE ORIGINAL WHICH IS WHITE)* Special Patented* Extraction Technology* Extra-Large Round Feeder* Super-Sized Detachable* Pulp Collector* Dishwasher Safe* Whisper-Quiet Operation* 3,600 RPM Motor Has* Lifetime Guarantee* Built-In Safety Features* Surgical-Quality* Stainless Steel Blade* Commercial QualityPOWER JUICER EXPRESS: (ONLY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL IS THE NO DRIP SPOUT AND A LITTLE SMALLER FOOTPRINT)NEW!

If I wanted to upgrade, I would select the Elite. The original and all of its components are dishwasher safe; but only for the top shelf and not near any heating element. Grasses do not work optimally with the Original and you have to alternate soft fruits followed by hard ones as well. For those folks who are looking for that added power, the Elite should suffice and do an excellent job or look for a wheat grass juicer if that is your focus.For me, the Original Deluxe is a terrific machine for the price and I am thinking now about upgrading to the Elite at some time in the future.I love it and I love the juices.Hope the above review gives you an idea of which model including the elite that might work better for you. The Original in white can be found in some stores for much much less.Additionally, you can buy platforms so the machine sits higher and then you can use a full size glass; much easier. I also prop mine on a cutting board and that helps too. The platform can also be purchased separately.Enjoy your raw vegetables and fruits effortlessly. You can have seven raw vegetables a day in a single glass and never have to worry about getting enough vegetables again.Bentley/2007
