Amazon.com Review
Carrots, celery, beets, cucumbers, apples--all vegetables and fruits, with the exception of citrus, go into this powerful, compact juicer's feed chute and come out the spout as clean, fresh juice. (Citrus fruits require an attachment that is not included with this juicer.) A stainless-steel blade chops the vegetables and fruits, and centrifugal force--just as your high school physics teacher promised--spins the juice from the pulp and through a strainer before it pours from the spout. Disposable paper filters (included), useful for soft fruits, can be placed inside the strainer to further filter juice. Pulp can be employed to flavor soups, casseroles, breads, cakes, and sauces. Or it can go into the compost pile. Twisting off the cover opens the juicer for simple disassembly and cleaning. The cover and bowl can go in the dishwasher; other parts must be hand washed. --Fred Brack

 Consistent use, keeps on going.... July 26, 2008
J. Ferguson (Dar es Salaam, Tanzania)
This is an excellent product! My parents have been using it for several years now. They have been on a vegetable high diet and juicing every day for all of those years. My Mom, a rather uptight person as far as taking care of things (it still looks like new), has just a couple complaints about it. She never puts celery into it because it gets a bit jammed up. And she doesn't enjoy the couple of minutes it takes to clean out the inside. She uses a rubber spatula and scrapes it. After that and a rinse, there seems to be no ugly residue left over to build-up and cause problems over time.
It gets a LOT of juice out of every vegetable. Even single leaves of basil relinquish their essence.
It's got an almost calming hum. The engine sounds solid. It's not overly heavy (my mom's 72 and moves it around with the help of her vegetable diet of course).
I am currently "enjoying" one of her carrot, cauliflower, basil, oregano, spinach mixes!
It's worth the money. Get one, take care of it and it will help you get healthy (depending on what you put into it of course)..
 A few tips for effortless use! June 21, 2006

After reading the other reviews, I almost reconsidered my purchase. However, the juicer works great - as long as you follow a few tips.
1) Make sure the lid is thoroughly clipped on TIGHT! Check once, then check again.
2) Don't use the paper filters, particularly if you are juicing in quantity. Once I threw mine in the trash, the balancing issues went away immediately. It makes clean up a little harder, but if you scrape the outside with a hard toothbrush under running water right after use, it's not a big deal.
3) If the item being juiced won't go through, be patient, and pulse-push it in. Don't cram it with the pusher.
My only concern is that when you juice quantities, so much pulp sticks to the side it's hard for all of the juice out to strain out. It's best to rinse the drum off every couple of cups of juice.
Using the above tips - I expect to be giving this juicer some heavy use for a long time.
Great Juicer, but hold on to the lid! January 15, 2005

I purchased this juicer about a year ago, and it's been great. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars from me is that when it gets unbalanced, you have to make sure to hold the lid on, because it shakes and vibrates a whole lot. The juice is great, the cleanup is easy, if a bit time-consuming, and the motor is very powerful. I'd definitely recommend this juicer!

Have been drinking vegetables for maybe 15 years. Started with a cheap machine. It broke right away. Spent over $200 on a very good quality masticating machine. That thing will outlast me. But I found it prohibitively difficult to clean. It made the whole process so laborious that I never used it. So finally I decided to find a good machine that was easy to clean. Let me tell you, this is it. All parts that touch vegetables are stainless steel so they do not stain. The machine really impresses with its build quality. The juice is simply delicious. I now consume many more vegetables per day than would be practical to eat and I feel great. And clean up is rediculously fast and easy. If you use the filter papers [maybe 20 come with it--order more immediately and use them], you don't scrub and the whole thing is back in place in maybe a minute and a half. Overall I have the idea this machine will last for many, many years. Bravo, Waring, you definitely got this one right!
Did that help?
Efficient, Powerful Juicer. Takes a Little Getting Used To. October 16, 2004

I bought the Waring centrifuge juice extractor, because I wanted a machine as efficient as a commercial juicer. I'm pleased with it. I've used the Waring for more than 3 years, and it's as good as new. It extracts maximum juice from fruits and vegetables, leaving waste that is nearly dry. It never needs to be oiled or lubricated. It only needs to be cleaned, which is reasonably simple. It's truly a workhorse. Its only drawback is that the centrifuge can become unbalanced if a piece of food doesn't fly up against the wall as it should. This causes a horrible noise and vibration, as older washing machines that were not self-balancing sometimes did in spin cycle. If the vibration is minor, quickly juicing another piece of produce or forcing the rest of what you're doing through the feed chute will often fix it. But if the vibration is serious, you must turn the machine off and wait for it to slow down so that you can remove the offending fruit.
Once you get the hang of juicing, it becomes easier to avoid unbalancing the machine. Putting fruits and vegetables through the chute at the optimum speed helps. Most produce is of uniform consistency and juices well. A slow, even force works best. Some fruit is lumpier, however, and if an even pressure causes the machine to vibrate, try applying pressure, then easing up, applying pressure again, then easing, etc., in one-second intervals. This works well for pineapple and citrus fruits. Yes, I mention citrus fruits. I juice them without the citrus attachment. If you peel the fruit, slice it in half, and remove the seeds, there is no problem. Feed it through the chute with off-and-on pressure. The pith from citrus fruit will block the holes in the strainer basket, however, preventing further juice from passing through. If the holes are blocked, you'll end up with juice sloshing around in the centrifuge and not in your glass. If you are juicing citrus this way, empty the waste from the strainer basket after you have juiced 2 oranges or the equivalent. If you are making a drink that includes citrus, juice the other ingredients first, then add the citrus.
I use the disposable paper filters, because they make cleanup so much easier. They fit around the inside of the strainer basket and allow me to pull all the waste out in one stroke, saving me the trouble of having to vigorously scrub the strainer basket to remove it. The filters are great for most juices, but cannot be used with juices that are very thick. For example, peach juice is so thick that it is practically pulp. It cannot pass through the filter. Neither can banana. You must forgo the filter for juices with a heavy consistency.
The Waring Juice Extractor isn't quiet, especially when it is juicing. It could wake the proverbial dead when it becomes unbalanced. But it extracts maximum juice, and it holds up very well to wear. The plunger, cover, spring clutch (a little knob), cutter blade, strainer basket, and bowl must be washed after every use. All but the strainer basket are smooth and exceptionally easy to clean. The strainer basket can get waste stuck in it. Using filters makes it equally easy to clean, but even if you don't, a vegetable brush makes pretty quick work of it. If you juice a lot, I think the Waring is worth the investment.
