Everything about the Jack Lalanne Juicer appears to have been well thought out. For example, the stainless steel rotor blade is not only efficient it is long lasting.
Combined with a powerful motor the rotor cutter blade is able to extract up to 30% more juice than comparable juicers. A true test of a juicers efficiency is to examine the pulp left by the extraction process. Across the board the Lalanne juicer’s pulp is dryer than other juicers meaning more juice has gone into your glass.
Cleaning is easy and straight forward however, it is advisable to clean your juicer as soon after juicing as possible. Fruits and vegetables can stain the interior of most juicers and the Lalanne juicers are no exception.
While the Lalanne juicer is labeled “commercial quality” this does not mean it can be used in an industrial manner. It will not survive hard daily juicing of large hard fruits and vegetables.
Its feeder tube is large and will accommodate bigger pieces of fruits and vegetables but as mentioned just because it’s large does it does mean it will or should accept things like pressing in unskinned pineapple chunks, or an avocado with the seed.
While advertising claims may be a little too generous in the juicers capabilities practicality and safety should be observed. If the juicer is subjected to hard continuous use it will reduce its lifespan considerably.
For proper care and feeding of your Lalanne juicer it’s best plan on doing a little prep work. For instance, taking a few moments to slice and cut your fruits and vegetables will place less stress on the motor which will extend the lifespan of the juicer.
While we do advise cutting your fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces, which gives less wear and tear on the motor we are by no means saying the Jack Lalanne juicer is a lightweight when it comes to power, power it has, and in aces.
Believe it or not cleanup is what frustrates most people considering juicing. If your juicer is complicated to take apart and clean it is no surprise most people won’t be thrilled to juice everyday.
Bottom line – A juicer should be easy to cleanup.
