    Default Juicers, HELP!

    Hi, I know there has been a lot of discussion here already on recommended juicers. My head is spinning with all the information! Last night I went out and bought the Breville JE95XL Juice Fountain. I haven't used it yet because I still have questions. I'm worried about how fast it spins...is this going to compromise the nutrients in my juice? For 50 bucks less I could have the Jack La Lanne juicer that seems to get almost the same amount of high ratings and it's supposed to be quieter and it spins slower.

    I don't want to use my new Brevia until I'm truly sure it's the best choice for me. What do you all think? I'm brand new to juicing, so the only knowledge I have is from all the reading (and there's plenty!) I've done on the internet. Should I keep the Brevia Juice Fountain JE95XL or should I go exchange it for the much simpler looking JLL?

    Thanks so much.

    Well, after doing a ton more reading and seeing a thread that specifically discussed the Breville, and my husband convincing me that I wouldn't probably be as happy with the JLL....I tried it out this morning! And what can I say? WOW! I don't know what all this talk about it being loud is about....it's very quiet! I haven't done carrots yet, maybe they are noisier, but I thought it was very quiet. For my very first juice we used 4 oranges, about a quarter of a fresh pineapple and a large apple. I don't think I've ever tasted anything so wonderful! Later today we are going to get a bunch of carrots and juice them up!

    Oh, and clean up was a snap! Thanks for being patient with a newbie here....I have a lot to learn and I see that a lot of my questions have been answered in different threads! ;)

    Thanks for responding Rawlee!! I'm pretty excited about this juicer....I'm sure glad I didn't take it back without even giving it a try! I'm off to buy my carrots now!

    I forgot to add my welcome to the board....Welcome!!! Don't forget to add some greens. I juice romaine, kale, apples and lemon together every morning for a wonderful and satisfying breakfast.
