Heavy-Duty Commercial Juicer in Black

The Champion-Really!
Before considering reviews of juicers, the first thing the reader needs to examine is the experience of the reviewer. I've noticed that dozens of these reviews are by those new to juicing, often assessing their first juicer purchase. They then are making arbitrary statements about equipment of which they know little. Rather like assessing a sewing machine, a camera, any piece of technology without sufficient perspective.

I began juicing back in the 70's when I became vegetarian. At that time juicers were not considered fashionable as now, and certainly there were no infomercials or cable! There was a fairly inexpensive line of centrifugal juicers made by Braun, Krups, Oster, etc. There was the Norwalk, still the Rolls-Royce of juicers (at $2000+). There was the excellent Acme centrifugal (now sold as Omega). And there was the Champion, then selling for $250-300. After chopping through a nice little Braun in a year or so I spent hard-earned college earnings on a...

Best of Breed!
A friend's parents fell in love with frozen banana & pineapple smoothies that they had in Hawaii, and noted that the Champion juicer was all that was used in making this favored treat.

I recently was fortunate enough to try out the frozen creations. The frozen banana is delicious - add nothing else but a frozen banana to the juicer, and you have a perfect creamy dessert! Same with pineapples and other fruits.

Yesterday, I opened up a Champion Juicer under the Christmas tree. Found a few apples that were lying around, and the juicer in seconds had a jarful of tasty foamy juice.

I highly recommend this juicer - cleans in about 2 minutes, and is very easy to operate.

Juicer Supreme
We decided 2 years ago to juice for health. I spent hours online investigating juicers and realized that the cheap ones wouldn't last. Anyway, we figured a few hundred dollars investing in your well being isn't a big deal. After reading about the industrial quality of the Champion, we made the move and have never regretted it. Besides being efficient and relatively quiet, it blasts through any type of veggie or fruit, with ease. And we have timed the clean-up at 3 minutes or less. Simply rinse, soak and wipe. Just be careful with the cutting part. The only downside as with any commercial-grade appliance, is the weight. We keep it on the counter for 2 reasons. It's heavy and hard to store and if we keep it out, we are more likely to use it. So get juicing, just for the health of it with a true Champion. Cheers!
