Jack Lalanne Juicer

Whilst watching the television and surfing the channels you’ve probably come across one of those infommercials at the weekend or late at night when you cannot sleep. Often you find yourself coming across an advert for the Jack Lalanne juicer.

You will notice his energy, youthfullness and vitality that he attributes to a healthy fit lifestyle which comes from a combination of diet and exercise. He has often been labelled the ‘Godfather of Fitness’. When you see him you certainly wonder whether there is more to juicing than just drinking a nice tasting beverage.

Well, now you can find out for yourself by getting one of these juicers yourself. If you take any notice of these commercials you will notice that the Jack Lalanne juicer is one of the most popular on the market. Millions of Americans are keen to learn his secrets and with so many benefiting from his juicing and lifestyle advice there must be some truth to his preachings.

His juicer has been touted as the ‘original juicing machine’. But does it measure up to expectations? The  rotor blade is made of surgical quality stainless steel  and seems very impressive for the work it does. The motor works reasonably quietly and one of the great things about these juicers are that the blades squeeze out juices in quantities that are 30% more then most other juicers. These are not meant to be industrial strength juicers and so it is worth bearing in mind not to overdo it by juicing hard foods or hard skinned foods when making juice. Some foods I have found best results if I chop it beforehand, especially hard foods like apples or carrots. I’ve also found it has increased the lifespan of my juicers – and yes, I’ve had more than one. A lot of other users have agreed with this opinion and have warned against stressing the motor with too much hard fruits and vegetables. Although it comes with a large feeder tube it does not mean you should try and cram large quantities of food down it all at once. A bit of slicing and dicing of your food prior to operating the juicer will go a long way to preserving the lifespan of your machine.

There are replacement blades that you can order and it is generally advised that these should be replaced once a year for optimal operation of your machine.

Overall the Jack Lalanne is a great juicer which will give you trouble free performance if you look after if right and is certainly a great investment in your health and fitness.
