 Terrific value for under $25 Oct 27, 2006
By V. Messner
I've wanted a juicer for a long time, but could never really justify the expense, knowing that I'd very likely quickly tire of the maintenance involved. When I saw this juicer for under $25, it seemed like the perfect opportunity.
When I opened the box, I was immediately impressed with the unit's solid construction. You can see right away that this isn't a plastic piece of junk that's going to break righ away.
With the unit's first use, I juiced: cabbage, kale, spinach, carrots, onions and peppers. The unit - while not as powerful as more expensive models, I'm sure - juiced up everything with no hesitation. I would describe the pulp to be damp, but not what I'd call really wet.
I dreaded the juicer clean-up process that I'd heard so much about. Disassembly of the unit is a breeze. There are basically three main parts to remove and it takes all of thirty-seconds. No problem.
If there's one thing I could change, it would be a better designed pulp-catcher that would allow a bag to be used. This is only a minor gripe and has in no way made me regret the purchase.
If you are a casual juicer, looking to get your feet wet without spending a ton of money, this would be a perfect choice. I'm still amazed that I got this for under $25 and I'd recommend it without hesitation.

What a bargain! Jun 03, 2004
By Stefan Wrobel

I got this thing for $25 and it was definitely money well-spent. It juices anything I throw at it and is stylish and easy to clean. Despite being reconditioned, when it showed up I wouldn't have known it wasn't new if the site hadn't said reconditioned.

 Waring Juice Extractor Mar 13, 2007
By Ready2Fly
First, this juicer is marked down which is a red flag. I'll tell you why. THe feed chute is incredibly small. You have to cut everytning into narrow pieces so it fits in. THe pulp collector is inside the machine and gets filled very fast. I was juicing about 6 carrots with a few sticks of celery. The pulp catcher was full already. I hate the fact that I need to disassemble the machine and dump the pulp container more often than I should. At $50, it may see like it's a bargain and if you're juicing once a week then it may be but if you're planning on using this every day and juice a lot of vegetables then forget about it. It is a hassle. There are way better juicers to be found for a few bucks more.

An amazingly good deal!! Nov 11, 2006
By W. L. Cummins
I'd been looking for a good juicer for a number of months, but had shied away because they're expensive. I saw this deal, read and analyzed the reviews, and rolled the dice. It arrived yesterday, and after easily disassembling it to wash the parts and get to know it initially, I ran a half dozen carrots through it. OMG!! Fast and delicious carrot juice in my own kitchen! Clean-up was easy (well, I was an old pro by now) and quick--under five minutes.
To address some of the negatives you may read, first, size: of course it's big. They're all big and bulky. It's their nature. Second, residue: my carrot pulp was DRY. I suppose if I'd put it on the floor and stood on it I might have gotten maybe another teaspoon of carrot juice out of it. Third, it's factory reconditioned: for me, that's a plus. Consider this: the manufacturer rolls out tens of thousands of these off the line, each one eye-balled and polished by QC before bagging and boxing, assuming that they are all good to go. But, a factory re-con is gone over from top to bottem, inside and out before it's released. No assumptions--the last thing the manufacturer wants is to see that thing back again, so you know they'll make sure they don't. And if it'd been returned for a little cosmetic blem, I can certainly live with that considering the discount I'm getting.
I'm still not sure why they're virtually giving these away, but Waring is an old and trusted brand, and the juicer is not cheaply made. I'll be back in a year (hopefully not sooner) to give some time perspective to this review. As soon as I finish writing this, I'm ordering two more as Christmas gifts.
April 2009. Well, here it is nearly 2 1/2 years later: I still use it three to four times a month, and still awesome juice! Not one complaint!

Great Product Nov 23, 2006
By Fox Mulder
"the X files"
I was searching for a juicer for a long time and was contemplating the Jack LaLanne Juicer which my brother had. I came across this and was a little skeptical, but after making the purchase I am totally satisfied.
I like the stainless steel construction, it is very well made, solid and sturdy. It comes apart very easy, and most of the time you just need to scrape out the left over and rinse with hot water to clean it.
I can't believe i have gone so long without juicing, i've never been much of a fruit eater other than apples and bananas, but since buying this product I have made apple and carrot drinks, watermelon and cantaloupe, its great. I actually feel the difference inside within a short time.
I read one review that this juicer leaves juice left over in the pulp, but i did not find that to be true. I think it all depends if your trying to force the fruit through to quickly. It you don't press to hard on the chute feeder and let the machine do the work the pulp is quite dry.
I got one Litre of cantaloupe juice from one cantaloupe. I went out and purchased some 1 liter bottles and i just fill them up so i can mix and match to my aquired taste. I got 3/4 of a liter from about an 1/6 of a full water melon.
Anyway i am thinking of purchasing one for my friend and his wife as a christmas gift.
Great Stuff.
