I have the Jack Lalane juicer and I love it!! I use it intermittently. It is a pain to clean just because there are nooks and crannies, but you get over it. And I would like the spout to be a bit higher so I could put one of my taller cups under it. Other than that, however, it's awesome to use and works fantastic.
A friend of mine gave me a book and tape on juicing and that's what got me hooked. You can find a lot of juicing recipes on line to meet specific needs as well.
I love making fresh lemonade using the juicer. No water and no sugar. Just pure juice from lemons and an apple. Delish!
Now, did I lose weight? Hmmm, only if I did a juice fast, but you don't need a juicer for that. Did I feel better - YOU BET! I don't know exactly, but when you're juicing a few times a week or every day, it motivates you to make healthier choices on what you eat and drink at other times so overall, there is a positive effect.
Enjoy~
