Assembling and using the Jack LaLanne power juicer

[baneen87]

thanks for this video tutorial on how to assemble - good tune aswell

[TheMaorigirl]

Has anyone ever tried making peanut butter with the juicer? I want to try and I thought I had better ask and expert first. Loved the video - I didnt know what the gizmo tool was until I saw you use it. There was no explanation about it anywhere or picture on the assembly line page. I havent finished watching all of the videos yet, and the ones I have watched are great. Thank you.

The beet juice looks like blood. lol I just got one of these a few days ago (mine didn't come with the stand-type thing yours is on though). It's a pretty good juicer though, and it feels great to drink a big glass of veggies.

Great video. I've made my decision to buy one thanks to this. I actually like the music as well.

@ramennoodlechef

Thanks! Enjoy your juicer!

[RuffDiamond2K7]

I bought this a good few years ago and it's been settling dust for over 3 years now and i guess it's time to use it.. can't wait to try it out tomorrow :) (After i give it a good scrub of course) ..Thank you for uploading the video!

@RuffDiamond2K7

I actually had mine in my closet for about a year before I ever used it. I'm glad I put it to use! Enjoy.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I have been trying to assemble this stupid thing for almost 3 hours. haha i was ready to cry and give up thank you so much... really!

[nycmichaelg]

@sistabird

You're welcome! I made this video to help people so thanks for letting me know you used it. Youtube rules!

[budwsfrog]

How riveting. Can you film paint drying next?

[nycmichaelg]

@budwsfrog

LOL. Thanks for watching!

[nycmichaelg]

Make sure the outlet has power by plugging a lamp into it (or a night light or something). If you have power it could be that the juicer's motor broke down. Hummmm. Wish I could better help.

[TammyFlores1]

OK... I woke up this morning and my juicer isn't working. I pressed the reset button and nothing. The silver bar is in place. Any idea what's wrong with it?

[DesertRacer75]

Hmm. It doesn't really sound too loud on the video. My Hamilton Beach juicer, although it works fine, sounds like a stinkin' lawn mower when it's running, lol.

[JazzBass7]

Hey I have a question. Since you've had the power juicer longer than I have I just want to make sure. Can you or have you ever tried to juice a yam? In certain recipes that I've come across yams are included to add to detox power and influence detoxing as well. But is it possible or is the yam too much like a banana (mushy, soft), because I know you can't juice those because there is no juice within them. Great vid as well!

[nycmichaelg]

@JazzBass7

I wouldn't try to juice a yam because it's way to starchy like a regular potato. Just won't work.

[JazzBass7]

@nycmichaelg Hey thanks for the info...much appreciated.

[bdd549]

why didnt you use the tool they provide??

[nycmichaelg]

@bdd549

Which tool do you mean?

[Wretch972]

That looked like hard work forcing everything in and not much juice from that cucumber. I'll stick with my Hurom Juicer. It's easier, gets more juice out and it's much quieter too.

[nycmichaelg]

@Wretch972

If the Hurom is better I might go with that one next time. Thanks for the tip!

[RubyRedSaphireBlue]

the one we have is silver and black. is that the same thing?

[nycmichaelg]

@RubyRedSaphireBlue

Can't say for sure but I bet it does the same job!

[RubyRedSaphireBlue]

what was that purple fruit/vegetable that you put in at 2:23?

[nycmichaelg]

@RubyRedSaphireBlue

That was a beet. Beets are so good for you. They also provide a great color to your drink.

[Brighteyes1ful]

@nycmichaelg What do you use if you are allergic to beetroot, i haven't eaten beetroot since i was about 23 ish i had a phenominal allergy to it and nescafe coffee where my flesh was itchy and then i had large lumps form on the skin my lips were like what you would buy at a joke shop it was awful so i don't touch either beetroot or coffee (nescafe) weird uh.

[bobburke1964]

im getting this on fri. cant wait!

[telj1]

Mine is in the mail on it's way! 

[nycmichaelg]

@telj1

Cool. Make a video when you get it! :)

[Frankiej27]

how did it taste lol??

[nycmichaelg]

@Frankiej27

It was really good. Very refreshing! :)

[thenextaisle]

Hm nice! Thanks for sharing this. Trying to decide which kind to get.

[hazie613]

its better if u cut the carotts short enough so that as soon as they are in the shoot their is room for the pusher to be in at the same time. so nthat way the carrots dont bounce around untill their is room for the pusher puttin strain on the motor

[nycmichaelg]

@hazie613

Good tip.  Thanks!

[hollist3rrbrittx]

you have to tell me how you got the strainer out of it.

[nycmichaelg]

@hollist3rrbrittx

You should be able to pop the strainer out buy lifting it from the edges. Just remember to unscrew the blade first by using the tool. You won't be able to remove the strainer unless you remove the blade first.

[opaqueheart09]

Do you use the juicer on a regular basis? If so, now that it is over a year old does it still work well? Thanks!

[nycmichaelg]

@opaqueheart09

I use it about once a week. I do take very good care of it and clean it right after I use it.  It's a solid machine.

[opaqueheart09]

I just got mine the other day, but it does not have the stand/base your juicer is sitting in/on.

[nycmichaelg]

@opaqueheart09

I guess the newest model is different. Mine is over a year old.

[Onnajaja]

great video. i can't wait to get mine!

[nycmichaelg]

Glad I could help. Have fun with the machine. It's pretty cool!

[ddr9248]

LOOKS COOL! Nice! This taught me how to use mine!
