Healthy Juicer ORIGINAL - Wheatgrass & Leafy Green Manual Juicer | Easy-to-Clean Cold Press Juicer | Original Since 2004 - Masticating Technology

Being new to juicing I spent hours pondering over what type of juicer to buy (online forums show that many other people are struggling with this decision). After all, prices range from £25 to over £1000 for machines that will basically produce the same glass of juice. In the end I went for the cheapest option. The first impression on unpacking this juicer is that it is surprisingly well made; the plastic mouldings are solid and finished to a very high standard of gloss. The machine is easy to put together although I did start off with a leak due to putting 2 washers in the nozzle by mistake (there was one already fitted in the groove, in addition to the generous 2 spares provided). Results vary greatly according to the type of fruit or vegetable used. It seems to require a fairly firm fibrous nature for the screw to work against. Best results have been with pomegranate: a thin dry pencil-like rod of crushed seeds emerges from the front nozzle and 100% of the juice is easily collected. At the other end of the spectrum soft pre-cooked beetroot just resulted in a slushy mess that went round and round in the chamber yielding no juice at all. Other fruits are in between. You need to adjust the tightness of the nozzle as you juice, according to the resistance felt as the fibrous waste builds up. What is remarkable is the quality and appearance of the fresh juices produced. Spinach yields a pure green juice that is almost fluorescent, and the taste of any juice is fresh and zingy and miles better than anything you can buy in a carton from a supermarket, even if it claims to be "freshly squeezed" (but is invariably pasteurised). I was concerned that the polycarbonate parts might contain hazardous BPA but they are stated to be "FDA-approved" which I assume means that they do not. All in all this juicer is a lot of fun and a good learning experience. It isn't the best juicer out there but for very little money it'll show you whether juicing is for you or not.Comment added after longer use: I've grown to love this little machine! It works faultlessly and is very easy to clean (just a rinse under the tap is all that is needed as long as you dismantle it immediately after use). My wife and I took it on holiday to enjoy fresh juice every day, it went in my hand luggage and there was no problem going through airport security at London Gatwick. I've upgraded my rating from 4 star to 5 stars.

I love this juicer. I recently had a centrifugal one, and I prefer this one for seven reasons:1. It's smaller, so it takes up less room.2. Its size means it's so much easier to wash.3. The only noise it makes is a squeak when I juice hard veg, like carrots.4. It juices greens like wheat grass, spinach and celery extremely well. It makes a very economical juice.5. If I want to use the leftover fibre from a particular vegetable or fruit, it's easy to keep it separate from the other veg. For instance, I juice carrots, apple, ginger, and garlic to eliminate mould toxins from my body. I reuse the ingredients (minus the garlic) in delicious recipes, like pancakes. (A centrifugal juicer takes more juice out of carrots than this one, but it's not a problem for me because it's nicer to use the fibre with a little juice still in it because that's where the taste is.)6. It can be quite meditative to turn the handle and make juice from a plate of chopped fruit and veg. And it's satisfying that I made it with my muscle.7. The price is amazing because it doesn't have a motor. It's wonderful that it allows people to own a juicer for so little money.The reason I gave it four stars is because it has three small design faults.1. It would be better if the horizontal piece were longer near the handle. The outlet for the juice is too near the base.2. The collecting jug would be better if the spout were longer. Even when I stick the jug down with a loop of sellotape, the jug can move slightly with the use. You have to be vigilant to keep the juice from slipping down the wrong way.3. The rubber base does a great job in keeping it stable, but it can let juice in between it and the base. It's not designed to be taken from the base for cleaning, so it's tricky to get it clean. I'm concerned about the possibility of mould growing there.These faults are not stopping me from using this one or two times each day with joy. I just wanted to give an honest review. If they brought out an improved version, 'I would buy that one.The company was great. I told them that Amazon had not given it sufficient packing material, and the jug arrived with a crack. They told me to give them my address, and they would send me a replacement. The only reason why I haven't received it yet is my recalcitrance in replying with my address.UPDATE: I received the replacement jug super fast after I told them my address! Excellent​ service. Well packed and intact.

Have only had this juicer a short time so have only used it twice so far. I bought it in anticipation of better weather, as I wanted to be able to have fresh juice on a daily basis, but so far the weather has been a let down and this is the reason why I haven't started using the juicer in earnest yet. In the couple of time that I have used the juicer, however, I have found it to be not only efficient but very easy to both use and clean. My daughter has a top of the range electric masticating juicer, which she doesn't use as much as she could, probably because of all the parts that need to be washed after use. I figure if you are going to have to stand there and feed the fruit/veg into the juicer, you might just as well turn the handle at the same time, so being manual this juicer is no more difficult or time consuming that an electric juicer. The great thing is that it is so small and compact and takes up little space and being portable means that it can also go with you wherever you go, holidays etc even camping is no problem for this juicer as it requires no electricity supply. The last juice I made consisted of 2/3 of a bag of baby spinach leaves, 2/3 of a bag of rocket, 1 large orange, and 2 small apples - this amount of fruit and veg made almost a standard tumbler of juice which I was impressed with, but I was even more impressed when i tasted the juice, it was just like nothing I had tasted before. Another point to note is that the juicer is very sturdy and comes with a few spares i.e. silicone rings, wheatgrass attachment and gasket which I was very impressed with. I would recommend this juicer even based on the couple of times that I have used it so far, as it more than meets my expectations.

Delighted with this juicer.It comes in a surprisingly small box and is very easy to put together. The parts seem well made and tough and I'd expect this to last a long time.There isn't enough of an overhang on our kitchen surface for the clamp so we used the juicer on our wooden dining room table and it secured really well with the clamp and suction base.First attempt, we juiced about 5 organic apples, a carrot, some cucumber, and a punnet of grapes and it produced around 800-900ml juice which tasted absolutely delicious, and the soft pulp we collected from the mesh filter was enough to fill a ramekin and will be nice as a cereal/desert topping. The fibrous output, fruit skin etc, was quite dry showing the juicer to be very efficient - we discarded this, but I understand there are recipes out there to use this up.Operating the juicer is very easy indeed even with the harder inputs such as carrots - no real effort at all. In fact we found the whole process quite theraputic! The only awkward bit was when we pulled the juice collector out to empty it, since juice will continue to drip from the outlet so it's worth having something handy to catch the drips.Because the juicer is manual it is very quiet and it's nice not having to rely on electric.Cleaning the parts (and there are not many) took a couple of minutes and I allowed them to air dry before packing away. Because it's so easy to clean I feel quite inclined to use this juicer on a regular basis.Very pleased with the juicer indeed - can highly recommend.

The good - the suction thing works well, it's lightweight, it looks ok.The bad - it leaks all over the place. Pulp comes out both ends and therefore clogs up the tray where the liquid is meant to go. So you have to remove that pulp for any juice to drip. I found it got clogged up quite easily. The pulp that came out of the right end was so moist that I had to put it through the juicer four times to get a bit more juice out of it. The handle moved during the process, despite being screwed in tight, so all of a sudden it was scraping against my cupboard door. So after all the leaked juice, the unclogging, the wonky handle you have the cleaning process which is time consuming. If you are going to buy this product then get some decent brushes that can reach and clean in nooks and crannies. I really wanted this product to be good, or even just ok but it's terrible. I wouldn't even recommend it if you are on a budget. So disappointed.

Good value, I gave it a 3 star because although it's working its dripping in places,have to assemble at every use and the clamp system is not exceptional,however the juicer does the job and it's easy to clean!

I'm not a big fan of juicing. I don't like waste and juicing leaves too much pulp which just goes to the bin. I prefer smoothies and I use nearly a whole fruits or veggies in my full glass of goodness. But there are some veggies that just cannot go into smoothies, because they make the taste absolutely awful. It is easier to drink a small shot of green juice in one go then trying to swollow huge cup of liquidised Shrek. Wheatgrass is a perfect example. When someone ever put raw wheatgrass or its juice into their smoothies, he or she will remeber it forever! It's healthy but disgusting.So I bought this juicer purely for wheatgrass and I don't use it for anything else. It works just perfect! It's easy to assembly, dismantle and clean. The juice is great and I can see how much it squished the wheatgrass as it comes out very dry and compacted. I drink my green juice from the short glass on one go. It doesn't taste very good but I know it's good for me! And I'm done after few gulps which is a bonus in that case.I believe this juice can be used for juicing other veggies or fruit, I never tried it so cannot comment. I still prefer to use blender for other plants.Overall I'm very happy with this juicer.

I have had this juicer about 6 weeks now and it is ideal for juicing vegetables. I have not tried it with fruit so cannot comment on that. I prefer fruit whole and not juiced so this review is just for vegetables.The product is sturdy easy to clean and just takes a minute to put back together.I have up to now had no problems with this juicer. The only minus is it takes quite a few minutes to juice half a cupful of juice and that is why I have given it only 4 stars but for the price I would have given it 4.7 stars if there was an option to do that.Brian

Tengo una eléctrica y la compré para viajar en la autocaravana.....estoy encantada....la prefiero a la otra...es pequeña, se monta fácil y se lava fácilmente...los zumos son estupendos.....para verduras y frutas. Aquí la sencillez gana a la tecnología.

La primera vez que lo usé se me “batio” toda la clorofila , tuve que ver un tutorial para saber como era el funcionamiento y voila, una maravilla!! Me siento super bien con los jugos super saludables. El mejor regalo que me hice este año! Como siempre llego a tiempo y el perfecto estado.

vraiment excellent, c'est un ami qui avait de lourd problème de santé et se soignant principalement avec des produits naturels qui m'a fait connaitre, et mon premier constat fut "enfin de vrai jus". Nous mixons pomme, poire, ortie, feuilles de boulots( pour son paracétamol naturel) et autres , puis à la fin vous obtenez une boisson multivitaminée qui peut remplacer sans problème un repas, et vous aurez plus de vitalité, résistance, et concentration, qu'avec du café, du thé, ou je ne sais quelles substances tonifiantes du moment.c'est simple, efficace, cela consomme juste de l'huile de coude, et de son temps, et le temps est de l'argent...

Besides The great product, at amazing half the price of another seller on Amazon it's the managers who are exceptional ,from securely packaging ,quick dispatching ,keeping one informed about the progress of the order with the courier company , and quickly dealing with any problem studiously . For me they made a history , making Amazon's Blue Eyed Courier BLUE DART make a deliveryto Pin code 201005 , which they refused to do for the past five years by simply claiming it's out of our delivery area and return the package . It cost them nothing to have their truck dump ti where it picked up from .Flip kart and few others on line companies modified their home page to show standard comment " Sorry we are unable to make deliveries to Pin code 201005 Currently " .Great use full product for home use at Incredible half price , Made in China for the American Market , beautiful strong Molded plastic which looks and feels good and durable , compare it with any Indian made plastic product any time , and all from a great seller too .

This is my second Lexon juicer and i love these things. My first one i used for over a year of daily juicing and it worked fantastic. Eventually the plastic started to get really funky from just that much use. I could of kept using it but decided since they are so cheap to just buy a new one and now i have spare parts!For under $50, this juicer performs just as good or better then any 300$ juicer. Of course its hand powered so if you dont like to take 15 minutes to crank out some juice then its probably not for you. I actually enjoy it, every morning i get out everything im going to juice, cut it up and then start smashing. My 3 year old son also enjoys it and helps me quit often.This juicer will not get every last drop out of the pulp but it really does a very good job. There are some fruits that i would not recommend you use with it, mostly soft fruits with no real hard parts like pears, peaches, tomatos. They kind of just turn into baby food and dont move through. You can use small pieces along side fiberous things like oranges, leafy greens, etc. also if you are using this for leafy green juicing only, dont bother. Its funny that it is supposed to be a wheat grass juicer but i found that its area of expertise is juicy fruits and veg. If you use leafy greens, be sure to alternate them with juicy fruits to get the most out of them. For instance, this morning i juiced 3 apples, 1 orange, 1 lemon and a huge bunch of cilantro. Im talking a pound of cilantro. So what i do is i stick in a fist full of cilantro, crank till its starting to juice and then add some juicy fruit to add the juice to the cilantro and that extracts waaaay more cilantro juice then without the fruit. Btw that juicing made 16oz of delicious, non frothy juice.Setup and cleaning is a breeze. I learned from the first one that it is best to clean the juicer before it dries, otherwise it stains and will eventually get funky. If you clean it right away, you only need hot water and a little bristle brush, i use an oversized tooth brush.A few tips when juicing and using this juicer. It comes with an additional nut on the front to make the pulp come out a smaller hole, dont use it. I found it just make back ups happen more frequently and the more pulp that comes out where the juice is supposed to come out, the more clogged the screen gets. Also the screen will get clogged from time to time from pulp, esp with apples, cucumbers and other softer fruits. Just use your finger or a piece of celery or something and rub the pulp around untill everything drains through. Also make sure that there is not water or debre under the suction cup otherwise it might pop off the table when you are cranking hard and that can make a hell of a mess.Like i said, this thing is grear and unless your willing to spend at least $300, this juicer will out preform any centrifugal juicer and most slow auger juicers. Plus you can bring it anywhere. I seriously love it and i have gotten a lot healthier since i added my daily 8-16oz juice.Hope this helps!P.S. i gave this juicer 5 stars because for what it is and the price of it, it very much exceeds my expectations. I know some others nit pick it on how wet the pulps is and whatnot but really, what do you expect for $50? Go and buy and $1000 hydraulic press if you really was that last ounce or two of juice. I use roughly $5 a day in organic produce for my juice and usually yield 16oz. For me, that is a great deal.
