 DisappointedSep 23, 2000
By CRR for Tampa
"CR From Tampa"
I bought this machine for its power and brand-name quality. It is powerfull indeed and is sturdy in construction. With its centrifugal approach to extracting juices, the machine really gets the juice out until the last drop. I really liked it until I tried putting watermelon in it: the machine grinded the juice shreder plate inside. No more quality and effortless juicing after that. Had the machine replaced thinking it was just the particular unit I had purchased, but it happened again. So, I was left with having to purchase a replacement plate from the manufacturer. This third time I tried grapes, and whamo!...for the third time the machine ruined its plate. At $40.00 a piece it is no joke having to replace the plate a couple of times, plus it is not a good feeling when you don't know how the machine will react when certain fruits are juiced. After these three incidents, I only use it to extract juices from carrots, apples, and celery...no more grapes or watermelon...in all the machine will do a good job so long it does not encounter a seed in the fruit, else say bye-bye to the plate.

 Excellent commercial quality juicer !May 18, 2000
I have used many juicers in the past, and this one is by far the highest of quality. First of all, since this juicer does not have a pulp ejection system, the pulp actually spins in the juicer yielding about 30% more juice for your drinking pleasure. The filters make cleanup really simple. My favorite point about the juicer is the quality construction. They use stainless steel for most of the upper housing. Filters are available locally. It's a great way to start your day, and hopefully for years to come. Happy juicing!

Best on the marketJan 10, 2001
By A. Evans
I have used this product for about 2 years now. In terms of quality you are getting your money's worth. It is a solid industrial device that is not likely to have mechanical or structural problems during an owner's lifetime.In terms of use, it is pretty good. Because of the straining action it uses you get significantly more juice per vegetable than any other machine. The only issue I have is with cleanup. It's not bad per se but you do need the filters to save you 80% of the cleanup without them. Even with the filters though it is damn tricky to get all the fibrous leftovers out of the metal spinner. There is just no simple physical way to get pulp out given the design of the spinner. Having said that we're talking a minute or two of running this thing under a faucet tilting it back and forth. If they can solve this I'll give them 5 stars. Finally it looks good. I just wish they would bring back the blue model that my ex took!

Solid ProductOct 21, 2000
By Bradford Ferguson
"trader-brad"
I'm very happy with the Waring juicer. One reviewer had problems with seeds so I'm careful to remove the seeds from everything that I juice. Other than that, the product works great and is easy to clean. About a dozen optional paper filters are included with the product and they do a great job and are pretty cheap (less than $10 for 200. 5 cents per filter. They are available by mail order and are probably available in large cities). Once you plug the unit in and turn this baby in, the motor quickly revs up to a hum and you simply put the fruit/vegetable in the hole and push down with the plunger. If you've never juiced before, buy more fruit/vegetable than you would think that you'd need. Engine takes a while to slow to a stop is my biggest gripe, but I just use the time to let the unit squeeze every last drop out. I've joined the juicer owner cult!

Good product, but a little more info would be helpfulMar 19, 2001
After 20 years with another juicer, a different brand (which I used only sporadically, because it really was a pain to clean), I splurged with this one. I have only used it a few times and was impresed with the (carrot)juice it produced and how easy it was to clean. However, my gripe is that the manufacturer does not provide enough written info. I couldn't even find anything about what wattage the motor was let alone any specific info on how to prepare fruit/vegs for the machine (e.g., do I have to take the tops off the carrots, peel the apples, remove pits from watermelon? etc). One reviewer states a problem he/she had with watermelon; perhaps if there was info on how to juice different fruits/vegs, this person would not have had to replace the same part three times. A small appliance this costly should give the consumer some basic info as to how best use it.
