Review of Waring Pro Juice Extractor

My Waring Pro (Model JEX328C) 400 watt juice extractor really does a good job. Not only do I get nearly pulp-free juice, but my canister is usually left with fairly dry pulp. I often put the pulp into the soil of my garden. I feel like I’m creating less waste while enriching my plants’ soil at the same time. I’ve also heard you can add some pulp to recipes, though I haven’t tried it.

One major complaint I’ve heard about with juicers in general is the cleaning. I often just rinse the canister for a suitable washing. After every couple uses, I give it a quick brush over with some soap to be sure it isn’t collecting any residue, and it’s ready to go. The spout is where I think many people have cleaning problems on other juicers. On the Waring Pro there is a hole for the liquid to fall through, but no fancy spout in which, while it may be fun to use for allowing the juice to fall, it is a pain to clean. This Waring Pro juice extractor is very simple to keep clean which is something that buyers may not think about when making their purchase decision, yet will haunt them for years to come if they completely overlook. There is also the blade piece which needs scrubbing each time. I scrub it with a regular kitchen brush from both sides while under running water. I occasionally add a drop of liquid soap to scrub around as well, but the water and brush do a good job of getting all the little bits free. Apparently this model came with a cleaning brush, but purchasing mine used, it did not come with it so I can’t testify its abilities. I appreciate the large 32 oz. stainless steel cup. It has convenient measuring marks on the side. The manual is very helpful too. It suggests that parts of the Waring Pro juicer can be cleaned in the dishwasher, how to use the juice extractor successfully, vegetable and fruit combination ideas, and also statements about the nutritional advantages of juicing.

The only thing I could even think to complain about is the small opening for dropping the food into through the feed tube. I’m sure it is necessary for proper juice extraction, and cutting the apple in a few pieces beforehand isn’t a big deal, but having such a big opening on my food processor makes me take notice and compare. It is big enough for my celery and carrots, but rounder foods like pear and apple need to be cut some. This amazing juicer can easily handle seeds and core though so those don’t have to carefully cut around, although by leaving them out, I’m sure you can prolong the life of your blades.

I would easily recommend this juice extractor to anyone shopping around for one. It does a great job of providing me with healthy juice concoctions right in my own kitchen with little clean time.
