   After much research on the best juicer for my purposes, I bought this item in order to juice a combination of leafy greens and vegetables. The hardest item I juiced was carrots and I ground them in a food processor prior to juicing.
   
   Initially it seemed to work fine but the blades dulled incredibly quickly and the pulp clogged in the screen and chute and would not exit.
   
   I called the manufacturer and inquired if this was normal and they said that it was not and that perhaps I should “push down on the chute”. Push down on the chute? I was incredulous, shouldn’t it work without my intervention? Well in any case, that didn’t work either.

   I began processing all the food prior to juicing and went through a lot of replacement blades over time (at $30.00 each plus shipping) because the manufacturer wouldn’t further address the issue and the juicer was not inexpensive. I wanted at least SOME return on investment.
   
   The process takes much longer than it should because I’ve got to constantly stop (every 3-4 times I fill the in feed chute) and clean the screen and chute or it wont work.

   Bottom line, it’s a bulky, messy, expensive & poorly designed POS.

   Apologies for being so negative about it. It has not been a pleasant experience.

   This is the worst juicer ever.

   Let’s clear a few things up. It spins at 1,000 rpm. This destroys the nutrients. A real single auger or twin gear juicer spins at roughly 80 to 100 rpm. This juicer also cannot juice wheatgrass, however if it did it would destroy all the nutrients anyway! It is also notorious for struggling to juice celery, however does well at juicing carrots and apples (glorified sugar water). If I want to juice carrots and apples, I will get a spoon of sugar, mix it in water and drink that instead, there isn’t much difference.

   This juicer is not a centrifugal juicer, it is not an auger juicer, it is a bizarre combination of the two and succeeds in neither.

   Now let’s look at the design. It is extremely dangerous if you ever stuck your finger in at the end of it where the pulp comes out. It looks terrible compared to, an Oscar Vitalmax for example. It simply does not look good.

   I can only conclude that the inventors of it are too emotionally attached to this piece of rubbish because they invented it, but they know in the back of their minds that it is old, dated, old fashioned, behind the times, and simply rubbish compared to the modern juicers. They should hang their heads in shame for inventing this monstrosity and actually promoting it as a healthy juicer. What on earth were they thinking making a juicer that spins at 1,000 rpm and has a spinning blade at the end. Were they smoking crack cocaine up their *** or something, this is the dumbest designed juicer ever invented.

   The only thing I can credit the makers of this load of rubbish for is creating the stupidest, lousy, loud, ugly, bulky juicer that ultimately does nothing compared to what any other juicer can do except better.

   Someone needs to email the inventors of this stupid juicer and tell them to stop producing it, for the simple reason , IT’S SIXY YEARS OLD !!! MAKE A NEW MODEL ALREADY DAMMIT.

   They have not updated this machine in the last 60 years since it came out, and it shows.

   My final words : terrible juicer, looks horrible, too big and heavy, outdated, hate everything about, hate the way the inventors live on the fact they invented the first juicer and have a ”legendary” status even though the juicer sucks, hate the stupid design, hate the screen that gets clogged easily, hate the way they haven’t bothered to update the machine in 60 years, hate the way they rely on people’s gullibilty to buy it because they have been in business so long and assume this is a good juicer, hate the strange design of the jucing parts which don’t make logical sense compared to auger juicers, hate the way that anyone would ever buy this machine and enjoy using it, hate the way the inventors of the machine are still making money out of it, hate the fact that people buy this juicer to make ice cream when other machines can also make ice cream that aren’t even juicers, hate the way people don’t buy centrifugal juicers because they spin fast and buy this machine instead even though it spins fast also, hate the way it looks and built, absolutely hate it,

   I ‘upgraded’ to the Champion after burning out the motor on my Jack V. juicing leafy greens. It was a decision based on all of the raving I’d seen and heard. I knew about masticating juicers already because I own a small travel juicer that is hand powered. I loved my little travel juicer for it’s ease of juice and cleaning.

   The Champion, however, is a mess. When juicing, I would estimate that 65% of the juiced produce will exit as designed, through the end. 30% of it will remain in the main body assembly for you to scrub it out. 5% of it will somehow squeeze onto the main motor assembly, where you have to wipe it of the metal rod that holds the blade. With my previous centrifugal (Jack V.) and masticating juicers, I’ve never had so much cleaning to do.

   The juice, i should say, is fine. 30% more frothy than my Jack V.

   Nut butters- make that mess ratio 50% (which is desirable in this case)/40%/10%
   
   Smoothies- 60% (desirable)/30%/10%

   I discovered today that Champion DOES NOT SUPPORT older models. They still appear to be identical but you can’t get replacement blades. If you are purchasing now and think you can get a replacement when needed…think again.

   If you don’t care about future support then it’s a great machine.

   Forget those screen juicers like “Juice Man” for a few more bucks, buy this monster. It could probably juice a branch from a tree, and then take seconds for clean up. Very fast to juice, and clean up is super fast. Excellent Product!!
