 Low Yield May 06, 2006
By J. GERBER
We recently received our juicer and are dissatisfied with our purchase. We felt compelled to write a review as we had also read the reviews here as part of our decision to buy this Lexen juicer. While this juicer is easy to clean, our complaint is the juicer produces a significantly low yield. In all fairness here is a quote from the juicer manual as to the expected procedure for getting the best yeild from the juicer:
"Step 5 - Take the pulp from the first pressing and place it back into the juicing Chamber as the first pressing is usually a bit moist until the pressure has been built up in the mechanism. If at any time the grass becomes wrapped around the auger or stuck in the juicing body. Press the off button and then use the reverse button to unclog, then press the on button again to resume juicing."
We experienced low yield with not just wheat grass but in juicing carrot, celery and spinach. We've resolved to using our other juicer because the yield is significantly greater.
If you intend on returning this juicer, you can find the return policy on the http://www.lexenproducts.com site:
"Q. Can I return the juicer if I do not like it?
A. You may return the juicer if it has not been used. A 10% restocking fee will apply. Postage will not be refunded. "
In other words, after we found that the yield was not worth the money in food product or time in producing the same yield as our other juicer, we are not able to return this product.

 The best value - the best juice - I"M SO HAPPY! Jan 15, 2006
By JuiceManGreg
"JUICE IT UP!"
I've tried some other juicers like the Juiceman and wasn't very happy with it. I needed to juice wheatgrass but also wanted to juice fruits and veggies but had a limited budget. I hadn't heard of Lexen before and found out it was fairly new - but I went out on a limb and tried it out.
Overall - I must say I love it. The cleanup is a breeze and my friend has a Samson so we compared cleanup (had a juicer war!). I definatley won that one. We did a comparison on the yield too and hers won slightly but not much.
What I like about this vs my old juiceman (and even from what I read the other juicers of this type in the market) is that it doesnt have a screen inside to clean which is pretty much why I won the cleaning contest ;-)
Havn't had a problem yet - and THANKS!!

Another thumb down for lexen electric juicer May 31, 2010
By tony
Trying to save money and live healthy by juicing, I bought this Lexen Electric Healthy Juicer from the internet. The first one that was shipped to me, had problem starting. After calling the support, I was told to check the fuse. But the fuse was OK. So the support sent me a replacement. The replacement also had problem starting. I figured the contact between the fuse and the contact point inside the juicer, was not good. Hence I jammed a small ball of aluminium foil into the fuse hole to ensure tight fit contact circuit through the fuse. It worked. The juicer can be switched on reliably. I used it to juice wheatgrass and it often got jammed and needed to hit on the reverse button to reverse the augur to unjam the juicer. But after the fourth juicing session, the reverse action of the juicer gave up on me. Now I just print out online coupon whenever I can find it, and go to Jamba Juice store to get my healthy drink.

 2 things !! May 01, 2009
By Terence buchinsky
"tb"
Just got the juicer today and its fantastic. BUT there are two things I have to mention. First, yes it does make great nut butters but invest in a baby bottle brush to clean all the tubes because it makes a mess. Second, when making nut butters do not force feed the nuts. I jammed the auger part by putting to many in at a time. Using peanuts, try 5 or 6 at a time. Took me 20 min. to un-jam the auger had to use a hammer (ugg) to punch it out. Other than that its the best juicer I've had.

Low yield..... Feb 28, 2009
By J. curtain
"hereandnow"
My manual Hurricane juicer gets a better yield than the lexen. I bought this juicer due to budget concerns, but I should have just saved my money. I juiced a 10x20 tray this am and had 1 1/2 oz of juice! I juiced 3 bunches with my manual and had 3/4 oz! Do your research!
