Review on 🍊 JM300 Juiceman Jr. Electric Juicer with 2 Speeds for Optimal Juicing Results by Kayla Schmidt

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Save money when you can

The original Juiceman Jr I had years ago and ended up with my son when I bought the 'better' juicer was efficient for its size and price. It was easy to disassemble and clean, and got decent enough juice. This one, on the other hand, is very difficult to disassemble, assemble and, as it turns out, not durable at all. To attach to the juicer when you want to put a food bag inside to catch the (very wet) pulp. If you assemble it without a bag, everything will be *okay*, but it's still a challenge for your jigsaw puzzle skills. The durability factor came into question as I noticed that the plastic around the screen was beginning to crack. I'm pretty sure it takes a bit of force to slide it into the juice basket and it ends up hitting a few charging points. I got this car last year to replace my old dying Jack LaLanne. While it tested my patience and disappointed me with its longevity, it worked *quite well* as a temporary juicer. If you're just trying out juicing and don't want to spend a lot of money, this might be fine, but don't let the user-unfriendly features put you off juicing. Just think of it like a juicer until you can afford a better one. And there are many others that are much better than this one, both more expensive and cheaper. Find out. My next purchase is Omega 800*. Something with a 15 year guarantee and a near impeccable track record. YMMV.UPDATE The cracks along the basket eventually opened up and the juicer flew off the counter along with the Pyrex juice cup. Although I could probably order a new basket for him, I decided it was hardly worth the hassle and just threw it away. I couldn't remove the basket without sturdy gloves; The screen is crisp as it should be, but the bottom of the basket seemed to throw bits of plastic into the pan area. This juicer is good for occasional juicing but definitely not for daily juicing.
