Product Description
The Champion Commercial Juicer is designed for continuous heavy-duty use. It has the same housing and features as the household model but with a special heavy-duty, variable 50/60 hertz, 650-watt motor (can be converted to operate at 110V or 220V). Model G5-PG-710, now with a durable General Electric motor. NEW! Now available in four colors! There's no juicing challenge too great for a Champion! Operating on the mastication process, the Champion "chews" the fibers and breaks up the cells of vegetables and fruits. This gives you more fiber, enzymes, vitamins, and trace minerals, resulting in the darker, richer color of the juice and sweeter, richer, more full-bodied flavor. You'll see and taste the difference. As more value is extracted from a vegetable, more pigments (color) are also extracted. This is why Champion-prepared juice is darker and richer in color when compared to that of a conventional centrifugal-type juicer. This is true whether it is carrot juice, mixed vegetable juice, or straight chlorophyll juice such as parsley or turnip juice. You can also see this principle diplayed in the Champion-extracted pulp; it is pale in color, indicating that the "good stuff" has been successfully extracted into the juice. The Champion is Simple to Use Designed for simplicity, the Champion doesn't require nuts, bolts, screws, or clamps to assemble. The floating cutter just slides on or off the shaft; a quick half-turn and the body locks on or releases for removal. By changing a single part, the juicer becomes a homogenizer. It's so simple, and all the parts are easy to clean. The Champion is Versatile In addition to extracting vegetable juices, the versatile unit can make coconut milk, baby foods, fruit sauces, nut butters, ice creams, and sherbets. No other juicer can do all this. The Champion is Durable Powered by a full 1/3 horsepower, heavy-duty General Electric motor, the Champion Juicer is powerful, durable, and built to last. All juicer parts are made from 100% F

 Joyce Evans Is Misrepresenting Champion-Read On August 21, 2008
J Keistler (Lake Jackson, Texas USA)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Whoever the reviewer named Joyce Evans is, she has a real problem, and it isn't Champion. This reviewer has gone on Amazon and other review sites with the same misrepresentation: that Champion doesn't support its older juicers with parts.
The Plastaket company, owned by the same family from the beginning, introduced the Champion in 1955. It was the same, now classic, design, using a large and very powerful GE motor turning at ~1700rpm, as opposed to 3500-16,000 rpm on a centrifugal juicer. Looking at the juicer, the feed/chute part, the cutting cone and the screen are made of high-grade nylon as opposed to the cheaper and easier molded plastic on today's juicers. With use over the years, the molds for these parts simply wore out and new, visually identical parts were made. However, this is a precision machine and the new parts were different enough that they don't fit the very oldest juicers.
My Champion was purchased nearly 30 years ago. After reading this woman's entries here and elsewhere, I called up Plastaket. As with any juicer heavily used, the cutting mechanism will dull over time and should be replaced every few years. The entire assembly was still available for my juicer, as I expected. I spoke at some length with the company and brought up this woman's work online. The change in the parts was explained to me; they readily stated that their very oldest juicers don't have an inventory of parts.
I ask other readers: how many small appliance manufacturers keep parts past a very few years? What do readers think of the probability of getting new cutting baskets for all these Juiceman and LaLanne labeled juicers 10 years from now, much less 30 years from now? The only juicers that I know of with enough history to check, are Acme/Omega (they use the same cutter wheel, still readily available) and Norwalk (at least for most parts for this $2000+ machine).
Though of course Ms. Evans doesn't bother to mention the age of the Champion to which she refers, re Plastaket it must be a very, very old model. This woman states on her profile that she is some type of 'professional' and 'educator'. This 1-star rating combined with her refusal or inability to even review the machine should nullify her review. I have no problem if this person doesn't like the machine--who knows what she is thinking? After seeing this very same, quite unfair byline on more than one juicer review site, I can't decide whether she's some type of Champion weirdo or just a nut.

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.

a superb juicer: excellent build quality, easy to use, easy 2-3 minute cleanup, very quiet, fast, produces a whole lot of juice, works fine with leafy veggies as well. the juice is not warmed up in the process (a major point), and TASTY!
very minor gripes: quite a bit of foam, but that is true with any juicer; the white plastic will stain, but that's not a functional problem; I would prefer they had made the parts that contact the food from hdpe instead of pvc but I've never noticed any off flavor.
summary: if you juice a lot, just skip the cheap (or expensive) junk and get this. there are very few other products that are even in the same league; breville is also ok for some stuff, but if you want a masticating juicer (and you know you do) get this one. did i mention the 10yr warranty?
