Jack La Lanne 1955

...if you don't know who Jack La Lanne is. No, me neither but apparently he is a legend in fitness circles across America since 1936. I have been watching the advert for the Jack La Lanne Power juice on various home shopping channels for years now and was always amazed by how easy to use and effective it looked. Jack La Lanne's heady claims that regular juicing makes you look and feel younger may be a little far-fetched but the product itself looks ...
...step illustrations required. The Jack La Lanne boasts an accessory kit worth twenty-pounds but this is a laughable marketing ploy. All you get is a plastic wired brush, base, measuring jug and overflow platform. The brush is nothing you cannot get from a discount store for twenty pence, the base is a superfluous, functionless addition, the jug is a nice size but hardly essential when a decent sized glass would work too and the overflow platform ...

Review of Jack La Lanne 1955

...bought. It is a Jack La Lanne juicer. At first you think all it does is makes juice but it most definitely is more than that. This thing has a 'blade' which is actually a flat steel disc with raised points on it, making it very safe to clean. As you drop food through the chute above, it presses on the blade which grinds it until it is small enough to be flung aside against a conical mesh rotating at the same high speed as the blade. The centrifugal ...
...to be forced outwards from the fruit and the few remaining pips and bits of skin are flung into a bucket for re-use. You don't need to peel or chop the fruit or vegetables (except oranges and grapefruit because they have sour flavours and are a little tough). You can juice almost anything including the less obvious like celery and ginger which you use in recipes in the books that are included. Obviously I went and bought one of these things. I was ...

Review of Jack La Lanne 1955

...'slimline' version of the original Jack La Lanne power juicer but is supposed to have the same effectiveness. This is my first juicer and juice itself is gorgeous. Learning curve - after two weeks and half a dozen attempts at juicing, I really feel I have the hang of it. Despite what it says on the JLL website, it really doesn't handle whole fruit such as apples and pears. Now I chop each into about three or four pieces and these push through without ...
...have to slice off the skin, leaving the pith, and whoosh, out comes this luscious fresh juice. Pear is fabulous, on it's own or with apple, as is pineapple. Strawberries, rasps with orange - mmmmmm - and you don't have to take the stalks out of the strawbs (as I realised part way through!). Carrot, cucumber and celery - yuk. I blame the cucumber. Friends say carrot and orange is good but I've not tried it yet. I was a bit disappointed that banana ...

...also acknowledged just how healthy Jack La Lanne and his wife looked, and just how much energy they had. Advertised on channels.. Sky 641 You see like most people we over indulge, it doesn't even have to be Christmas we eat all those things that we should not and have very little time for exercise and so generate very little energy. So we agreed we would try it especially as it came with a 30 money back guarantee. I remember we were living with ...

I also remember on the day it arrived we spent quite a lot of money £30.00(if I remember correctly) on fruit that only lasted that day as the end product was superb you can mix any combination you desire. I unpacked the juicer to find that there were 9 different parts 8 of which had to be constructed before I could use it, daunting no not at all it was easy and took only a couple of minutes, ...

Review of Jack La Lanne 1955

...so we bought him a Jack Le Lanne power juicer! I've seen the info ads on the late night TV and thought the price was a alittle overinflated (£119), but never having purchased a juicer before or really looked into them, I later found out this was around the average price! We purchased ours from Ross Fitness online, great service so far (although I'm still waiting for my replacement juicer to turn up) at the bargain price of £45! There we were, ...
...went out and filled the fridge with fruit and veg and thought "here we go"! Initially the juicer worked fine, for about 10 minutes! It is advertised as being whisper quiet, which so far it hasn't been, and a wonder to work with. I can safely say, so far it hasn't been either of these. After a few minutes of initial use, not continued, just for short spurts, we noticed a rather strange odour. We switched off, had a check and noticed that the hopper ...

Review of Jack La Lanne 1955

...weeks ago I purchased a Jack La Lanne juicer, I had seen the infomercials on this product but was very sceptical as to how good it actually was, after all it was an American advert and they are known to exagerate to the extreme. So when I saw this juicer in a local store (with a 16 day money back guarantee) I thought "What the hell, lets give it a try." Who is Jack La Lane? ================== Jack La Lanne was born 26th September 1914 in San Francisco. ...

One of his many achievements include swimming from Alcatraz to Fishermans Wharf whilst he was in handcuffs, in less than 30 mins.On completion of this he managed to do 30 press ups!!! Now at an age of 91 he still looks good.This is one of the many reasons why he has been voted ...

Review of Jack La Lanne 1955

...you will need to buy Jack La Lanne's powerjuicer. Actually, thats all you'll need to do. It's really is everything and more. I bought this about 5 months ago and I use it everyday, as its so quick and easy to use. There's no need to cut the fruit or vegetables, like other powerjuicers. You put it in whole, unless of course you're juicing up something big like a pineapple. I've had no problems with this at all. The blade is still as sharp as when ...
...a lot more juice with Jack La Lanne's juicer, and you can have fresh and healthy juice (with no artificial flavaourings) as and when you want to. You can use many different variations to create unique flavoured juices. So, instead of having a caffeine fix in the morning, try this instead. It takes a few minutes, less time than it would take to make yourself a cup of coffee. The power juicer comes with a recipe book to make all kinds of juices. ...

Review of Jack La Lanne 1955

I bought a Jack La Lanne Juicer about 2 years ago. I am amazed at how long it's lasted me. I use it to make my fruit juices in the morning and when I am detoxing. You never know how much juice one apple or pear may have until you've used one of these. It's great!!! It's great value for money......there is only one down side and thats the washing up afterwards as you have to take it apart so you can wash the blade etc, this can sometimes take a little time.....but hey! it's never put me off. ...

Review of Jack La Lanne 1955

There is only one word I can say for this product. Brilliant !! Easy to use, easy to clean and fun for the kids too :) Best way and quickest way to get your kids to have their 5 a day fruit/veg in one quick go... they love it too and you can let them choose which fruits and veg to pop into the tunnel... kids love the colours mixing in the cups too... Our kids are 8 and 5 years old and loved their Nana's juicer so much the joke was to hide the fruit ...
...so much, it wasn't hard to convince my husband to buy one too!! Gosh sounds like an ad, but it's true... he saw for himself they were getting their vitamins in fruit and how easy it was to get the godness into them. We enjoy it too, though... We found by always using a hard fruit base like : apples, pears and mango's best and then add some soft fruits to it : grapes, oranges & kiwi's ... as you'll use loads of softer fruits on their own will use ...

Review of Jack La Lanne 1955

Jack La Lanne’s Power Juicer I have to say has really made a difference within our family, with me and two young children who dislike fruit and vegetables this has been a great way to get us taking all those natural ingredients, vital vitamins and that 5 a day thing that the government keep going on about. The battle is won when the children get to pick and choose what they want to put in the juicer, which half the battle this way they take ownership ...
...good for them, as they put the fruit or vegetables in and push down on the plunger the juice comes out before their vary eyes and I mean there is loads of it and very little in the pulp, in fact it is almost bone dry and the pulp can be used to make very tasty muffins, try it. You can change the colour and taste of the drink just by adding different coloured fruit and vegetables; it’s amazing what an apple can do to sweeten things up. The best ...

Review of Jack La Lanne 1955

I saw the Jack La Lanne power juicer advertised on one of the Sky channels and decided that I would try to improve my lifestyle by buying this juicer. It's was quite pricey but it promised to give more juice than it's competitors which does seem to be the case. The juicer has a large opening at the top of it which means you can drop in whole apples and oranges without the need to cut them first and the motor is very powerful meaning you don't have ...
...juice. The waste tub at the back is very large meaning one empty should do for a few litres of juice. It is also very easy to clean as it comes apart very easily and all parts (Except the motor!) are dishwasher safe which is really useful. The juicer also has some very good safety fetures such as not being able to turn the motor on unless the juicer has been put back correctly after it has been taken apart. The juicer also comes with a handy ...

Review of Jack La Lanne 1955

We bought this about a year ago on ebay as a new item, paying not quite the RR. We found it easy to use, being very experimental as you are with new gadgets. We found the quality of the juice justified the expenditure and used it throughout the year. It was really useful when the apples were falling off the trees and to extract juice for making wine, too. Great for dealing with fruit that wouldn't otehrwise get eaten. (Haven't tried vegetables too ...
...guidelines - no stoned fruits, for example. Once or twice it did seize up because of the fruit being excessive, but it is easy to take apart, remove clogged up fruit and start again. The waste at the back does appear to be a little more moist than the adverts suggest, but taht doesn't detract from its performance. Are we healthier? Certainly hasn't harmed us. Cleaning: comes apart easily and re-assembles easily. Best to do a rinse with water in ...

Review of Jack La Lanne 1955

Let me tell you about one of the most amazing juicers i know of, well i'm talking about this one in case you haven't already guessed. I bought mine reasonably cheap off ebay (brand new of course). Mine also came with a spare filter and blade. It must be the quietest juicer on the market and juicing is very, very easy. My personal favourite juice is apple juice but their are so many different drinks and and treats you can make you would have to ...
...The one downside to this juicer is that if you don't have a dishwasher (which I don't) cleaning can be slightly tedious especially the filter but that may be down to me being slow. I found the juicer very fast and simple to use. Overall if you want a good quality juicer which is simple to use then I recommend this one. Hope you have found this helpful and i look forward to reading your comments. Thank you very much for reading. ...
