    Question Juicers

    I know I know, it's been asked before. I only see a certain juicers being mentioned, but I'd like to know if anyone has a comparison on:

    Jack Lalane
    The Juiceman
    Champion
    Acme
    Sampson
    Green Star

    and any others that you've heard of. I'd like to to last a long time, make a decent amount of juice, do well wtih greens, and minimal foam. I want to take it to college in the fall.

    Help?

    ive read ALOT about juicers past 2 years , including our members here in my search for my next juicer and this is my outlook on your list =

    eliminate the lalane and juiceman because theyre the fast spinning centrifugal type juicers that heat and foam juices .

    the samson has been backed by some experienced juicers here and is the slow auger turning type juicer which makes high quality foamless unheated juice , its the one along with the omega at the top of my list from from reading but have not physically seen either yet in order to determine how solidly / lastingly theyre constructed .

    the green star has alot of backers and is type that makes high quality juice but is like twice as expensive (around $400) as the sampson / omega . and i think i read its harder to take apart and clean than the sampson / omega .

    the champion has great rep and many faithful followers and ive seen one at a store and can say its made rock solid . its simple and sturdy . but i guess the juice it makes may be more foamier than the sampson / omega , plus the champion may heat up juice a little . but still without seeing the others for myself for construction quality and seeing the foaminess factor for myself im still including the champion because i bet itll last as long as anything - its solid . and if you get the champ ide say pay the extra like $20 for commercial model for the larger motor , plus get the black one rather than the white one because the white plastic shows juice stains more than the black .

    and i think the acme is another more expensive model that i eliminated like the green star because i wont pay $400 for a juicer , $200's bad enough .

    my bottom line is im impressed with the long term rep of the champion and its rock solid construction so its in the running against sampson and omega . but ive got to see the sampson / omega to determine the solidness of their designs .

    ok thanks. So it's down to Sampson, Champion, and Omega. Maybe I can find a website that has comparisons.

    i have a champion and i like it. the juices are a little foamy (i don't have any other juicer to compare it to though) but if you strain it again it's not as bad. it makes delicious juice

    Default The Juicer Championship

    Ladies & Gentlemen!

    In this corner is the heavyweight Champion of the world - The CHAMPION JUICER, weighing in at a whopping 26 pounds! It's record virtually unrivaled.. it can, by sheer brawn & stamina, outlast any juicer in the world! The Champion has only suffered one loss in its long career - and that, by TKO (technical knockout). Were there more rounds in that most controversial fight, many believe the Champion would have prevailed in the end!

    In the other corner is the undefeated middleweight champ - The Samson Juicer - weighing in at 14.6 pounds! But don't be fooled by the weight, folks! Weight isn't everything in the juicer championship! Like they say, "good things come in small packages," and that's certainly true of the Samson! Strong & agile, it can potentially outjuice any opponent in the ring! Up against the Champion, an old "slugger" who prefers an "outside fight," the Samson, a younger, more versatile contender, might easily outpoint it with some serious uppercuts and overhand rights!

    So, the jury is totally out on this one, folks!
    And the stakes are high!

    All bets are on!

    It's a great site, but I'm a little leary. I'm used to the juicers I've had that have the shoots on the back where the pulp goes into as you juice. The above ones don't seem to have that. Does the pulp just stay in where the filter thing is or go somewhere else? I tried the Acme from a coworker and the pulp just stayed inside and wouldn't produce nearly as much juice as my jack lalane. It wouldn't juice strawberries at all.

    on these type juicers the juice comes out below the feed tube , and the pulp comes out at the end of the tube . you place a bowl under the end of tube to catch pulp . so the pulp doesnt stay in machine at all . plus you can search and go to the manufactorers home pages where most have display videos showing how they work .
