Pros: Stylish, strong material, large chute, very easy cleaning, takes whole fruits, quiet.
Cons: Rumbles with whole fruits, Spinning grill clogs after a 2 person serving.
The Bottom Line: It's a good machine. I don't regret it. Annoyingly noisy when put whole fruits in it: rumbles a lot. You'll get use to it but surprised at first.

| epinioncom's Full Review: Jack Lalanne 10091 Power Juicer |
I purchased the machine last week and I have to say it's a beauty : it's big, stylish and made out of strong enough plastic material. The spinning centrifuge grill is very large and allows very easy clean-up with the brush. The rest of the machine cleans just under the water and a little effortless brushing. Think about using a plastic bag for the back bucket. The blade needs to be unscrewed from the center : one small half effortless twist and then you spin it out for 3 or 4 twists with your finger, it's easy. The only thing I find unfortunate is that after, say 2 apples, 3 pears and 3 carrots, the machine seems to clog quite a bit and if you put some more, I'm not convinced that I'm getting all the juice since the spinning grill is cloged with the purrée of the fruits and needs to be cleaned up or brushed up. You can still try it but, I'm just not so sure it's working as effectively anymore. Maybe the motor isn't spinning fast enough... The machine is quiet, that's for sure !!! Very quiet... But as soon as you put a whole apple or another kind of fruit (yes it's true, you can do that if it fits the chute. Just don't use anything with a big seed like a peach or a prune without first getting it out), the chute becomes a canon and starts throwing them out (Watch for your face, hey, hey... just kidding). You have to put the cover right away because the machine goes from super quiet to shaky and it rumbles a lot. You need to hold it still just by pressing the pushing stick : This fixes everything. So, overall, I'm quite happy with it and I paid 160 $ Canadian at Price Cosco (Club Price) and got it in three days through their Internet service.
