 Well worth it November 13, 2008

I am a first time juicer and I am very pleased with this product. It is very easy to assemble, use, and clean and, most importantly, it makes great juice. Highly recommended.

I use to own one of those relic juicers but it was just too big and bulky and too much trouble to clean. Plus it wasted more juice then it produced. I found this while searching for a replacement extractor about four years ago. It still works and all the pulp is dry that comes from it. It only takes minutes to clean it by hand. I love juicing carrots in it along with oranges, apples, pineapples, and cucumbers. I would recommend cutting the larger pieces in half or lengthwise to make them fit in the chute.

I'll preface this review by stating that I have 30 years' experience in juicing. I've had a pile of juicers of which this was one purchase.
I manage 6 states for my employer so I travel at least one week per month. As my travel takes me ordinarily to non-metropolitan and semi-rural areas, true juice bars are very few and even farther between. I decided to take my juicing on the road.
I have a big Acme Juicerator from the 80's (now sold as the Waring Commercial and quite similar to the Omega 9000) that I enjoy for the less-green juices. Unfortunately, Acme's are built like Sherman tanks and are nearly as heavy. I needed something that wouldn't give me a hernia hauling in and out of hotel rooms.
Around the time I decided to do this, L'Equip introduced this mini version of their full-sized juicer. I wasn't familiar with L'Equip but had read some enthusiastic reviews--and the design was quite distinctive. Therefore, I ordered one. I certainly didn't expect it to keep up with my Acme or my Champion, but for travel one has to make compromises.
I still think that, based on design parameters, it is quite distinctive in appearance. One doesn't mistake a L'Equip for any other brand. I don't play with fruit in a juicer, so I have no idea what this machine will do with fruit. Frankly, I don't see the merit in trying to juice such as grapes anyway. The main produce that I used this juicer for included carrots, beets, radishes, turnips, with some dark leafy greens thrown in on the side (parsley, spinach, collards). For its size the juicer did fairly well. Of course, no centrifugal juicer is going to do greens like a masticator, but some decent return on greens was found. Parsley and cilantro tended to just chop up and fly out the basket but it was still acceptable.
I learned that, for my taste, there are some compromises in handling to accommodate the distinctive design. Mind you, I've done a lot of juicers of different types but this was one of the pickiest with assembly and teardown. Compared to my Acme this juicer is quite a bit slower. That bulging basket reservoir can be a bear to get seated properly on the base--not that it takes ten minutes to do, but it is particular. I never mastered doing it one-handed at all. The cutting basket was initially quite firmly attached to the motor base but over time loosened up--but it was still a matter of using both sets of fingers to pull up from both sides at once. I get no thrill out of watching pulp fly out of the basket so the smoked lid meant nothing, except that it was fiddly getting seated on top of the stainless basket reservoir. And, of course, being a pulp ejector the container had to be placed just so to catch pulp. This was my first pulp ejector centrifugal, but I've worked with newer ones and most are more intuitive. Was it hard? In totality, no, but perhaps a little more attention to ergonomics and a little less to high-fashion industrial design would improve the machine.
I found the noise level to be average. No, the pulp coming out was not nearly as dry as either my Champion or my Acme, but that's not a fair comparison. The basket on this machine is absolutely tiny compared to the Acme or an Omega. The feed chute isn't one of those horse-sized things so popular to infomercial buyers, but so what? I keep a good knife handy and none of the juicers had this for most of my juicing experience. How the newbies like dropping whole apples in! I found those little plastic bags supplied in many hotel rooms for the ice receptacle made a great pulp container liner.
To sum up, this juicer and I never really got on good terms. I found it a constant irritation when I was on the road, the fiddly parts which of course just rattled around in my luggage. After a year, I gave it away to a newbie who still uses it a couple of times a month and admires it on her counter the rest of the time.
I have no experience with the full-sized L'Equip but I'd expect the same ergonomic issues would arise. I love beautiful kitchen products--I have a collection of 25-30 blenders--but function should always be foremost in an appliance. It isn't with this juicer. I purchased a $30 Black and Decker juicer from Wal-Mart that has been traveling with me in recent months and I'm actuall happier with it. Its limitations are much easier for me to live with on the road--see my review of that machine separately. I recently ordered an Omega O2 for travel and will review it when we've shared some road time together.

This product is EXACTLY what I as looking for. I am a first time juicer and it is easy to assemble and take apart for washing. I use it at least 4 times in a week. If you use a bag in the recepticle it makes clean up even easier. I've juice everything from Kale to cucumbers, broccoli, ginger, apples and blueberries and strawberries. Great price for this power house. I'm not into juicing grass and dont need an Omega series juicer (which are pricey)..so I'm happy with this product and it's price point.
Very good juicer August 15, 2007

The juicer is very good except to wash the screen is not so easy. I use tooth brush to brush off the tiny particles from the screen under the water. It is easier than brush it unsubmerged. But still take awhile to clean it. Otherwise this machine is a great buy.
