Jack LaLanne's PJEB
Power Juicer Express, Black
For this review of Juicers the Jack Lalanne product was chosen because of its popularity and due to its price point. We think this to be a very good value for your dollar and a good beginning place for the lower priced Juicers. Yes you can purchase lower priced Juicers but we have yet to find one worthy of recommendation.

Cleaning
The screen filter is not terrible to clean. I think the best benefit of the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer Express model over the other models is that it is quicker to clean. Many people use a plastic bag in the pulp container reducing the need to clean it as only a quick rinse is needed. The strainer is also easy to clean. Simply use a brush and a little soap, rinse and set out to dry - done.
Most Juicers will develope a mineral build up over time unless you clean thoroughly after each juicing - even then it is very difficult to avoid. A sturdy nylon brush will help with this task, just be careful to not use anything that scratches the surfaces of your Juicer. I think the only way to beat this is to buy a fully stainless steel machine $.
THE Key to cleanup, as any who are experienced at juicing will tell you, is to do your cleanup immediately upon finishing your juicing. When done immediately you are done within 3 to 5 minutes. If you wait until after the juice residue is dry you’re into a ½ hour intense scrubbing
