Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I bought a used Champion yesterday and will try it in a minute. It looks to me though that the way it juices would not be that different from my old Juiceman with centrifuge action. I mean the blade things inside spin against a screen, how is that so much different??? My Juiceman lasted a long time and I wanted something that cleaned more efficiently as the plastic parts of the juiceman were fast to clean but it stained over time and this bothered me. Well it looks as though the Champion is just the same, plastic parts that are stained. ?? I better get out there and try it in case I need to take it back. He ran it but I did not take any veggies with me to try. Also, it does not seem to some with a place for the stuff that comes out , either kind:) and it is so low to the counter, I am wondering about that as my Juiceman had a big container that fit next to the machine and caught the pulp and a spout where I put my big glass for the juice. Subject: JUICERS To: oxyplus Date: Wednesday, September 3, 2008, 3:43 AM Hey everyone, I just bought a Champion juicer and am wanting to send it back. Havn't figured out how to use it yet so havn't, but the opening where you put the vegies. in is so small it would take me for ever to get done and I am not up to that much extra work of cutting stuff up. Also it says on the box that it is a masticating juicer rather than pressing or squeezing. Before I return it, what is the skinny on pressing and masticating? Is one better than the other? Any juiceing machine experts on here? Also what's with this magnetic lock thing? I know I don't like that either. I am used to the Jack Lalane juicer but throught I would upgrade to a stronger machine because it jams up so easy. Other than that, I really like the Jack Lalane because it is so easy and fast to use. I do need another back up maching and am hoping someone can give me some info. on juicers as to what has a large opening for the vegies, easy to clean and easy to use and about the pressing verses the masticating thing. Thanks much. Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 My Mom bought a used Champion. She didn't like the stains either, so she called the company. The sold her (cheap) a cleaner that took all the stains right off, plus they sold her some paper inserts. These go in the basket and so all she had to do to clean the juicer was pull the paper out and throw it away. No muss, no fuss. Just like coffee filters, only to fit the juicer basket.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I did a little research on juicers when I bought mine. There was some thought that the spin action of the masticating may heat the vegetables up enough to destroy enzymes. I bought an Omega 8000 it is an auger press and am totally pleased. I had a Juiceman and the juice from the Omega is worlds apart better. It is not hard to clean either.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Steph, Your LaLane is probably the best in its price class. Next up is the Green Power /Green Star gear juicers , but these are considerably pricier. Cleaning is still a chore. The VitaMix is the easiest to clean and use. You get all the pulp in the juice, so there's a learning curve for things such as dilution etc. but you can do much more with it as a powerful appliance. It also is pricey.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 If you store juice, there's a difference. It is my understanding that a centrifuge juicer will introduce more air into the juice than the masticating or gear type. Heat is an issue in all of them but very much under the operator's control. To store juice: make certain your container is as full as possible so no air in the top of the container. Don't store it long as it degrades quickly. Might want to add some CS (EIS) to it to retard degradation. You can freeze juice but again, the benefits are reduced from the fresh with freezing. However, any juice you make with your juicer whether 4 days old in the fridge or thawed from having been frozen is way better for you than anything you can buy at the store because everything there has been heated. I had a cool juicer experience just today....story coming.... My brother called yesterday to ask me to start looking for another LaLanne for him, he'd ruined 2 in one day doing tomatos for canning. Last year he used the neighbor's and I found one for him and another neighbor for less than $40. He loaned his new one out last weekend but yesterday it " went out " on him. I mentioned heat override and told him to take 'em apart and look for it since he had nothing to lose. In the meantime I'd get a large-hole screen for my champion and he can use it. There was a heat override so both LaLanne's he was using worked after they colled off. And........ I ordered the large screen from the Champion web page and they do NOT charge shipping! Got a confirmation post about it this morning so emailed them to verify and it's true! The didn't charge shipping on this little piece! Whoever heard of that! There was one elsewhere on the web for $3 less but it was $4 more when adding in the shipping.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 ---So far It seems that it depends what you are trying to juice. For myself i do a lot of greens in my juice like parlsey, kale, chard, spinach, sprouts, beet greens etc and then add one or two carrots and a beet. So for that there are not many that do a better job than the Samson and is reasonably priced. If you do more carrots, apples etc than i think the Jack lalanne does a better job and the champion. i used to complain about the small hole to cut the veggies in but the Samson is quite easy to clean as compared to Jack's and so it all depends where you want to spend your time- cleaning or cutting. i figured out it was the same amount of time. The Samson does not do as good a job for carrots. There is a lot of pulp and not much juice. On the other hand the Samson will take juice out of all these greens while the others hardly will do that. That has been my experience and I checked with the Samsom people and they told me that I was correct on that one. No matter what I love my juices! So juice away Steph. HOpe you are doing well. cathy In oxyplus , RoseOtto wrote: > > If you store juice, there's a difference. > > It is my understanding that a centrifuge juicer will introduce more air > into the juice than the masticating or gear type.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Dunno. Like I said, Mom bought the machine used at a garage sale. It did a great job, and the filters made it super easy to clean. Personally I much prefer to use my 3 hp blender. Easy to clean--just rinse it out and you are done. You get full benefit of fiber, and juice in a super smooth, liquid drink. It will blend up anything. If I were really going for a juice fast I'd use a juicer, or for certain health conditions juice is better. But for most health issues and simplicity the blender is best. I had a VitaMix, but the motor burnt out way before it should have. Well, the high speed on the motor did something. It won't run on the high speed, only the low speed. High speed makes it trip the safety switch and shuts it off. So I use it for making my herb tinctures. I bought a BlendTek for my smoothies. I love it.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Thanks everyone for all of your great input. So many decisions to make all the time just to stay alive!!! I probably need the easiest juicer to use and clean even though I'd rather have the best and healthiest of them, the fact remains if it is too difficult and takes too much time and energy I won't use it at all~~~so better an inferiour model that I will use than a high quality performer that sits there is my reasoning. As easy as the Jack Lalane is to use and clean, I seldom have the time or energy to get to it. I shudder to think of having one more time consuming and difficult so I guess now that I have an idea of what the good ones are, how about ease and simplicity amoungst the ones that are best?

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 , that was helpful but it still leaves me indecisive as which one to get. I do carrots and the greens, and I sure did notice that with the Jack juicer the greens get wasted. On the other hand, I would not want the carrots to get wasted either LOL. And are you saying that the Samson also has a small hole for the vegies. to fit into? I hate that. Gotta be one out there that does greens and carrots equally well, with a large hole for the vegies to fit through that is easy to clean. No????

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 If you must have pure juice, this won't count. But if you are looking for liquid as smooth as juice and simplicity in cleaning, then a high powered blender is the way to go. A regular store bought blender won't do it, but a 3 or higher one will. And as for cleaning--simply rinse the container out with clean water. If you feel like you want to actually wash it, depending on what you've blended, fill with water, add a drop of dish washing liquid, blend for a second and rinse. Simple. My Blend Tek will blend in carrots, nuts, anything I have tried so far, into smooth liquid. Not chunks. And you can make it as thin as you want by adding in some water or a bottled juice. I put in various types of leafy greens, whatever veggies I have on hand, like cucumber, green pepper, broccoli, a beet, squash--whatever. Lots of leafy greens and a mix of veggies is what I usually throw in. Plus whatever fruit I have on hand--an orange, a banana, a plum, an apple. Again I usually use a mix of these in one batch. Plus then I throw my vitamins in, some vanilla flavored whey for extra protein and flavor, a bit of water or juice to get it all started. It blends for just a minute or two. When it comes out, if it's a bit too thick, I simply add more liquid and blend for a few more seconds. This usually gives me a full container, which is enough to last me for breakfast and lunch. I pour some out into a big glass for now and then put the rest into a quart canning jar. When I bought my Blend Tek they also sent a little hand vacuum. You put it over a hole you've punched in the canning jar lid, and covered with a special tab, and pump all the air out so that the drink stays very fresh and doesn't oxidize. Refrigerate, and then you have a drink for lunch or supper almost as fresh, nutrition wise, as if you just made it. Then I rinse the blender container out and let it air dry. If a person were really concerned about cleanliness you could also spray the inside of the container with CS or H2O2 and vinegar. It takes me less than a half hour to do this whole process. The longest part is selecting and cutting the veggies into chunks and peeling fruit like oranges or grapefruit. I save time by pre-mixing the veggies into bags when I buy them. Like I will throw in a bunch of greens along with a few pieces of broccoli, a half a cucumber, a half of green pepper, a half of a beet. I put them into the green saver bags, squish out all the air and twist tie the bags and put them in the fridge. They will keep fresh for almost a week. Then in the morning I simply take out a bag, dump it into the blender, get my fruit in, my supplements in (which you can't taste) some water, blend, pour, rinse and I'm done in less than 15 minutes--for 2 meals a day. Don't know how it can get much easier than that. Because I like veggies, I have only ever disliked one batch I made, because I put in 2 beets instead of my usual half. They were getting old and I didn't think it would overwhelm everything else. Tasted like I was just eating beets. :-) but the mix of fruits curbs the very green taste of the veggies, the veggies cut the sweetness or sourness of the fruit, all the food covers the taste of the supplements. I've done a variety of juicers and I've done the 3 hp blender. I'd choose the blender ANY day.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Samala, the best way is to JUICE and THEN after you have juiced, take some of the fiber that is left and throw it in according to taste THAT WAY it isn't slimely and gaggy like what you get from a blender and you still get both. Am having more than enough troubel with slime in my throat from this candida and whatever else I have without adding it to my food LOL!!! All I need is the right juicer.
