- 1). Review the official site for Jack LaLanne Juicers as well as a large retail site that sells multiple models of Jack LaLanne Juicers. Links to both can be found in the Resources section. Beginning with a brief overview will give you a good idea of the range of models that are available, the range of prices and some of the unique features that set some models apart from others.
- 2). Consider how much space you have for storing or displaying your juicer. Most versions of Jack LaLanne Juicers are 12 inches wide, 16 inches deep and 36 inches tall, but some versions such as the Power Juicer Elite are slightly shorter and have slightly larger bases. If space is an issue, your options may be restricted to a single model or a small handful of models. Use the specs you find online to find juicers that meet your size restrictions.
- 3). Set your budget. The majority of Jack LaLanne Juicers, whether purchased directly from the manufacturer or at some other retail location, are priced somewhere between $100 and $150. This price range does not include shipping costs, which may vary quite a bit from one seller to the next. Factoring in shipping, you should be prepared to pay at least $110 for a Jack LaLanne Juicer unless you manage to find a good sale price.
- 4). Consider the features that are consistent among all models of Jack LaLanne Juicers so that you will know not to factor them into your decisions. Standard features include stainless steel blades, quiet operation, Jack LaLanne's proprietary juice extraction technology, extra large fruit and vegetable chutes, lifetime warranties on the motors, detachable pulp collectors and safety features. Every model is also made with dishwasher-safe materials.
- 5). Decide whether or not you would like a non-drip spout. The Power Juicer Classic, Jack LaLanne's most economical model, does not have this feature, which makes it a little messier and harder to maintain than the other models.
- 6). Consider how important finish and appearance are to you. The more affordable Jack LaLanne models, like the Power Juicer Classic, are finished in white plastic. Most of the more expensive models are finished in stainless steel. There are also slight differences in shape and in the luster of the stainless steel from one model to the next, so be sure to view the largest available photos of each model as you browse through the relevant websites.
- 7). Consider the advantages of the Power Juicer Elite. The differences among all other Jack LaLanne Juicers are relatively minor and mostly have to do with the size, price, finish and the availability of a no-drip spout. But the Power Juicer Elite is in a league of its own with several abilities that no other Jack LaLanne Juicer has: it can juice items that still have pits, cores, seeds and stems, and it can also make soy or rice milk. As would be expected, this is the most expensive model.
- 8). Read user reviews about any specific Jack LaLanne model you're considering. Online retailers have user reviews integrated into their shopping interface, making it easy to see just how satisfied people have been with their juicers.
