Blendtec Home The Professional's Choice 1560-Watt Hp3a Blender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an awesome blender. It blends stuff like you've never seen before and I am really pleased with it. But holy cow is it LOUD!! The cat hates me. I got a pair of earmuffs from the shooting supply place to wear while using it. Maybe overkill, but I think that using it twice a day without them would result in hearing damage eventually. I wish they sold an enclosure for this one like they do for the commercial ones....I'd definitely buy one.
I bought this because I had a juicer and liked it. But I felt that tossing all that pulp and fiber had to be making me miss out on a lot of health benefits. And just trying to spoon some of it back into the juice doesn't work, it's gross. This blender blends whole fruits and vegetables wonderfully, I can still get the fiber and in a drinkable form.
After I bought this, I read a webpage where they talked about blending an avocado WITH the pit, and I tried it. It works, I ended up with an amazingly smooth mousse-like creamy pudding. Not something I'd do every day, but it was very interesting. I have been making kale banana blueberry smoothies for breakfast and it blends everything into one homogenous shake. No bits of leaves, chunks of stuff, etc. I'm enjoying it. I just wish it wasn't so loud.

Sensio Bella (15210) Kitchen Juice Extractor Juicer Stainless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I bout it I loved it, after 2 or 3 weeks started having trouble taking the stainless basket out to clean unit. Last time I used it took over 30 min. to finally get it apart. Washed good sat back on counter. Next day tried to take apart BEFORE I used it just to see if it was removing easier. The stainless basket wouldn't budge. Messed with it off an on all day, it never came apart. Now it lives on a shelf in the garage. Needs to go in garbage but I still remember what I paid for it ;(

Big Boss Juicer, 700W 18,000 RPM Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This juicer is a surprisingly easy to use and clean, relatively compact, handsome machine. There is enough power to juice just about any fruit or vegetable. This machine makes pulp free juice. Drinking juice made from ingredients that I choose myself is a wonderful thing - there are no mystery chemicals or additives unless I put them in myself. The only caution, fresh homemade juice shouldn't be kept for days, there is just too much opportunity for food safety issues.
Compared to our Jack LaLanne juicer (Jack LaLanne JLPJB Power Juicer Juicing Machine), the Big Boss is so much better. The Big Boss is smaller, lighter, easier to clean, quieter, and doesn't spit all over the kitchen when it runs. For the first running, I suited up with an apron, towel on the floor, cleared off the counter and thought about putting on safety glasses. No need for all that personal protective equipment, the juice goes in the glass, the pulp in the huge bin in back, and nothing all over the place. The machine has four suction cup feet to hold it in place.
The Big Boss is just simple to use. No tools required for cleaning / disassembly. The cutting wheel / filter takes a tiny bit of force to remove (grab the spigot and rear black pulp ramp then pull upward). Other than that, this is a piece of cake to clean. All the parts are top rack dishwasher safe - but realistically good soapy water followed by a hot water rinse is about all that is required to clean the parts. The cutter / filter is a little bit difficult to clean, the nature of the beast, pulp is kind of hard to remove. The provided "paint brush" doesn't really work very well. I used a good old dish brush and easily cleaned the filter (something like this - Oxo Steel Dish Brush).
I like the fact that the spigot is almost six inches high, that leaves enough space to use a good sized glass. It's a good idea to have several glasses on hand, when the motor is turned off a lot of juice runs out of the spigot (centrifugal force keeps the juice inside the machine, when the blade stops, juice runs out). The pulp bin is black so it is hard to know if the bin is getting full. This isn't necessarily a problem since that bin probably holds the equivalent of a bushel of fruit pulp.
The box includes the juicer, care instruction book (sort of a quick start guide), and a well illustrated thirty page recipe book.
The recipe book contains some excellent food safety instructions. Do not store juice from melons, berries, cherries, mangoes, papayas, potatoes, onions, garlic, cabbage, lettuce, and green (they are all high pH and can grow bacteria very quickly especially in the refrigerator). Do not juice bananas, avocados, coconuts, eggplants, or leeks (mostly because they are soft fibrous or oily and would quickly plug the machine). Don't store juice longer than one month in a sealed container refrigerated or frozen, (I would suggest not more than a few days either way).
Orange juice is different from commercial juice. In the factory they use a juice press and filters to remove or add pulp. The juicer essentially grinds up everything and the filter is fine enough that only juice passes through to the glass. The flavor is different. Although the recipe book suggests juicing the whole thing, including the peel, I don't care for that bitter flavor. Apple juice is a fun food chemistry experiment - the juice comes out of the machine clear and slightly yellow colored. After about five minutes the juice turns dark brown, a perfectly normal process.
I like this machine a lot. The construction appears to be solid (the filter / cutter has a very simple clutch mechanism to prevent ruining the motor or tearing up the cutter). I especially like how easy it is to clean. And the pulp makes great compost or additions to baked goods.
I've added some pictures of the unit disassembled to show how simple it is to clean.
