Here is the second half of the Champion Juicer 2000+ review that I did a while ago. I haven’t been here for quite a while. I had some serious health issues. Turned out I had a colon tumor the size of a ping-pong ball. I don’t know how long it had been there but it was almost completely blocking my colon off. It did not feel good. The pain was unbearable and put me into emergency about 6 weeks ago. Surgery seemed to go pretty well although I’m still recovering. The whole experience was bizarre and continues to be strange. I’m in the process of writing about it on my www.jamesrubel.com blog. It does again point to just how important it is to take care of ourselves. I did almost everything right and I still got sick. Juicing is becoming even more critical to keeping our bodies in good health.
Anyway, so I’m back and I’ve got videos for 3 new juicers coming soon. I’m redoing the Omega 8003 juicer review because I didn’t like the footage very much. I can do it better. And I’ll be putting up videos for the Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE95xl juicer and Jack Lalanne Power Juicer soon. Both of these juicers are centrifugal juicers but even though they are similar in price, they had huge differences as to quality. I’m surprised by the quality issues many American companies seem to be suffering. I find it quite upsetting and in the videos I let it be know my true feelings. Look for those soon.

I recently finished this video review of the Braun Mp80 juicer. This juice extractor has been a great little machine and a good introductiion to juicing for me when I got it. However, I don’t think Braun even makes it anymore and besides there are much better juicers available now. Granted the better ones like the Omega 8003 or Breville juicers are more money, they just offer a much better quality juice and juicing experience.
The reason I did the video was to show basically how a centrifugal juicer works and to let people compare it to other juicers like the Champion, Brevilles or Omegas.

I finally finished my Champion 2000+ juicer review video. This is Part 1 above. Part 2 will be up soon. Shortly I’ll be upgrading my Champion 2000+ juicer text review too to reflect what I discovered during my use of this household juicer. To be honest, I was not impressed by this machine. It works and you can get by with it but there are many juicers on the market that are just a lot better in my opinion. I’m a bit puzzled as to why everyone doing juicer reviews seems to pay lip service when they write reviews about it. The juicer design seems outdated and it isn’t very effective in it’s processing of fruit and vegetables when compared to the Omega 8003 or 8005 juicers, the Breville juicers or the Greenstar twin gear juicers. Check out the video(s) and see what you think.

Just finished this video review of the Braun Mpz 7 electric citrus juicer. This is actually an older juicer that I don’t think you can get anymore. However, the Black & Decker CJ525 Citrusmate Plus citrus juicer is almost the same thing. So until I get my video done of that model, this Braun juicer will show you how a basic electric reamer style citrus juicer works. Check out the whole written review at Best Electric Citrus Juicer

I just made a carrot, green apple and ginger root juice with my Omega 8003 juicer. I’ve been having sinus trouble because of allergies and I find ginger root works well in clearing the phlegm from my throat. However, I can’t drink straight ginger because it is very strong. Mixing it with the carrots and apples seems to work pretty well.
As time goes on, I just can’t say enough about how much I like the Omega 8003 juicer I bought. It does a great job of pressing the vegetables up and it is so nice and quiet. I find it easy to move around and by far the easiest to clean of the juicers I have. It is such a better machine than the Champion 2000+ juicer I bought and still have to re-review. There just isn’t really any comparison in my mind between the two.
I also was just at a friend’s house who had a Jack Lalanne juicer that we fired up because I wanted to check that one out more. Wow. I’m not impressed. Kind of a piece of noisy junk I felt. Why anyone that knew anything about juicers would buy one of those, I’ll never know. That machine did not seem very efficient to me in any way.

I’m still working on a juicer video review as well as a text juicer review of the Champion juicer I bought a while back. Not to let the cat out of the bag but I think people will be shocked by my new review. Everyone says pretty much the same thing about the Champion juicer in their reviews and after testing it out, I didn’t feel that way. In fact it made me think about some other issues and I kind of got pissed. Check back for the review coming soon.

I purchased a Champion 2000+ Juicer because I was dying to try one out after all the years of hearing about them. This is the juice extractor so many other juicers are compared to. Little has changed with this juicer in the 50 plus years it has been around.
I’m going to do a new Champion juicer review and put it on my website bestjuiceextractorreviews.com. I’m also shooting a video of the juicer to show how it operates since I’ve never been able to find a good video of one.
Hope to have these up in the next couple of weeks.
