This review is from: Dr. Weil\'s Healthy Kitchen 9816 1000-Watt 2-Speed Professional JuicerI ordered my first one, I came with a cracked juice container. Amazon was great, issued a UPS return. Order a second one, used it once and on the second time the motor stopped. Once again Amazon was great and issued a UPS return and refunded my money. POOR PRODUCT QUALITY, but GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE by Amazon. I order a Breville juice from Amazon that was about $30 dollars more and it is an excellent juicer. Maybe the Breville Juicer was what I was meant to have all along. GREAT SERVICE BY AMAZON - THANKS!!...This review is from: Dr. Weil\'s Healthy Kitchen 9816 1000-Watt 2-Speed Professional JuicerI've been juicing heavily for several years now and was very pleased with the Jack LaLanne power juicer I got in 2007. Probably the only reason I spent $149 for the Spring Switzerland juicer is that it was endorsed by Dr Weil so I figured he at least checked it out. Not only is this juicer awkward to use and to assemble/disassemble, it is very inefficient. So inefficient that I started to collect the wet pulp in a mesh bag squeezing out a considerable amount of juice from the pulp every time I juiced. While this juicer sounds good -- two speeds, low speed for soft fruits and vegetables, high speed for harder ones -- it expels the pulp into the collection container too quickly leaving a lot of juice in the pulp for throw-away. It seems to be one pass through the blades and that's it in contrast to a centrifugal juicer which extracts the juice from the pulp pretty well. During operation, juicy pulp "escapes" dripping down the side of the juicer making a mess. To boot, it's a pain in the butt to clean. I am thoroughly dissatisfied with this product. I purchased this juicer in late Spring 2010. By late Summer I'd had enough and purchased another Jack LaLanne juicer from Target for $89.00. Jack's current juicer definitely has some improvements over the one I bought in 2007 -- it's very quiet, does a good job of extracting the juice from the pulp. It will even juice wheatgrass (see the instructions). I was so annoyed with the Weil juicer, wondered if Spring Switzerland even understood the concept of a juicer for fruits and vegetables and very disappointed that Dr Weil has his name on this product. What a waste of money. The juicer is sitting in a bottom cabinet - probably never to be used again. Save yourself a lot of money and aggravation - steer clear of this juicer....This review is from: Dr. Weil\'s Healthy Kitchen 9816 1000-Watt 2-Speed Professional JuicerFirstly, I have had no mechanical issues with my juicer and use it about every day. I use beets, carrots, apples, oranges and all get turned into delicious juice! I almost never have to use the high setting and find the motor to be very powerful and find it very easy to clean, dis-assemble. The only minor gripe would be that the pulp can sometimes collect at the top of the resevoir. I like that it feels very stable, is very solid and has suction cups to hold it in place. It is very powerful, makes great juice and I'm all the healthier for it!...
