I have two new addictions to talk about. The first (which I'll dedicate this post to) started last month after seeing this Jack LaLanne infommercial. Perhaps I was just sleepy, but it convinced me I needed a juicer for my kitchen. So a few weeks later my dad gave me the Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE95XL. I can't speak for the quality of the Jack LaLanne juicer, but I love my Breville. (Amazon currently has the lowest price btw). So for the past month I've been juicing about 5x a week. I've juiced everything from apples to turnips to celery. (My current favorite mix is broccoli, apples, and carrots). I can honestly say it has given me extra energy at the gym and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to give it a try.
Clean up isn't fun (the first time particularly felt very tedious), but after a week you get used to it. There are four parts you have to clean including the stainless steel blades/mesh filter, cover, and spout container.
The machine itself is sturdy and features two motor levels for juicing hard or soft fruits/veggies. It has a generous-sized feed chute which fits a whole apple, but I usually dice my fruits and veggies before chucking them in. The remaining pulp is usually very dry which leads me to believe it extracts as much juice as possible.
Overall, I give it a 4/5 stars. My only complaint is that it's a bit loud under the fast setting (not obnoxious loud, but still loud).
