24 of 25 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent nutritional information and tasty recipes., December 5, 1998 By A Customer
I found this book an excellent information source for nutritional information on fruit and vegetable juices. It is well organized and indexed by primary fruit and vegetable and contains a section on spicy elements such as ginger root and garlic which can be used to add zest to the juice. Rather than a purely medicinal type book, it has recipes and illustrations for some really tasty treats. My favorite is a carrot parsnip combination with a little parsley ad lib. I use this book every day and recommend it to anyone who wants good health with good taste. Get your Juicing Health Julie Stafford Now!
Best Review on Ultimate Juicing Delicious Vegetable Combinations  Like a lot of people, I love juicing, but I've been through too many juice books that place juicing alongside acupuncture, healing crystals and tarot cards as if drinking juice was going to bring me to a higher spirtual level. Look, if that works for you, more power to you, but what I want out of a juice book is two things - great recipes and some fun. This book has both. The recipes are outstanding - you'll find some drinks in here that at first glance seem a little strange, maybe even disturbing, but give them a try and you'll never go back to just fresh squeezed orange juice. The other thing a like about this book is the humor - it seems like every recipe title is a play on words or pun, I think this book could sell equally well in the humor section! I can't decide what is more refreshing - the recipes or the book! Get your Ultimate Juicing Delicious Vegetable Combinations Now!
Best Review on Cuisinart CCJ 100 Citrus Pro Juicer  The Cuisinart CCJ-100 Juicer is a great product. Recently, I thought I would like to try making freshly squeezed juiced. I did a lot of research on the internet and was surprised to find a lot of different juicers. What also surprised me was the wide range in prices. Because I wasn't sure that I would taking the time to make my own juice each morning (i.e. I thought it could turn out to be a pain), I didn't want to spend a lot of money. Thus, I bought the Cuisinart for $30 at my grocery store.
I was a bit leery before I made my purchase because of all the negative reviews of the CCJ-100 on this site (and the fact that the "demo" video doesn't actually show the device in operation -- strange). But I figured $30 wasn't much compared to the $90-100 that other juicers (e.g. Waring) cost.
I've been pleasantly surprised. It is simple. It has only 4 parts, 3 of which you can rinse off and put in the dishwasher (the stainless steel base is the fourth part and really doesn't need cleaning except to occasionally wipe off a finger print). The instructions are simple (about 2 columns of text). It is quiet. And it works fine. 2 oranges (i.e. 4 halves) produces about 1 cup of juice. You cut your fruit in half, plug the juicer in, and press the halves down on the "juicing cone." The cone spins and reams out the juice. When you are done with your fruit, you put the clear top on, press down on it and the device extracts the last bit of juice from the rind that is caught in the juicing cone. It's a nice feature.
I have had no problems with the juicer slipping. I use one hand to press the fruit. Three rubber feet on the bottom of the unit hold it steady on my glass cutting board or granite countertop. The spout length is fine. I can put a measuring cup or juice glass below it. The spout can put put into a horizontal position to prevent dripping on your counter when you remove the glass.
This product has been a pleasant surprise, especially since I spent only $30 on it. I can't imagine what the extra money would give me in the way of performance.
I will see how long the product lasts. It's construction seems fine. It comes with a 3 year warranty. That's longer than you get for most products, including expensive ones (e.g. a laptop computer).
I recommend this product, especially if you just want to start out trying to make fresh OJ or grapefruit juice. I imagine it would work fine on lemons and limes as well. Get your Cuisinart CCJ 100 Citrus Pro Juicer Now!
Read First Before Buy Jack Lalanne PJP Stainless Steel Electric  First, I have to say I'm so confused by the bad reviews for this product claiming one cannot juice leafy greens or wheatgrass. I juice four full glasses of juice for myself and my family, two times a day - I use kale, red shard, parsley, cilantro, and beet tops. As long as you roll the greens into a cylindrical shape and feed it patiently, it does a wonderful job. If I have loose greens like wheatgrass or parsley, I wrap them in a bigger leaf, such as red shard, before feeding it through. Following the leafy greens with juicier items like celery, lemon, apple, beets, or carrots, will push all that green juice right out.
I was pleasantly surprised with how easy this juicer is to clean. I too place a small plastic bag in the receptor and it's as easy as throwing the bag away or composting. Keep in mind, you must take it apart every time you juice and wash the parts, especially the filter and blade. Not only will this keep the machine working like new, but you could be creating a petri dish of bacteria if you don't.
Occasionally something makes the juicer sound off balance (maybe an apple seed or something), but it always corrects itself and continues to juice just fine.
Overall, I have no reason not to give this product 5 stars based on its affordable price, reliability, great juicing ability, and ease of cleaning.
Happy juicing! Get your Jack Lalanne PJP Stainless Steel Electric Now!
Best Review on Breville EW30XL Electric Gourmet Wok  I should say up front that I had never cooked in a wok before I purchased this one. The day that this arrived, I unpacked it, skimmed the instruction booklet, headed to the supermarket, and proceeded to cook one of the best dishes of fried rice that I had ever enjoyed. I've had the wok for about a month now, and have used it at least twenty times, and am very pleased with the results. I'm not going to go into the many virtues of this wok since those have been well covered by other reviewers.
I will say that I have not had any of the problems with the surface that some reviewers have, but neither have I washed the wok since I bought it. I do occasionally disassemble it to clean any bits of rice that have fallen between the cooking surface and the cradle that it sits in, but so far I have found it sufficient to simply wipe clean the cooking surface with a clean dry paper towel while still hot. The surface is so non-stick that all food residue comes off quite nicely, though you do have to be careful not to burn your fingers. The next time I use it, I once again wipe the heated surface with a paper towel before adding the oil. That probably grosses some of you out, but I suggest that if you try it, you will see how clean the wok is between uses, plus you never have soap residue on the wok surface.
The rest of this review, I will give a few tips that may make your wok experience more enjoyable, even though most of the readers probably already know these.
1. Hot wok-Cold oil. Always heat your wok to full heat before adding oil, then immediately add the food being cooked. I prefer peanut oil. That is what is used in most Asian restaurants in the U.S. It has a high smoke point and doesn't add any strong flavors like smoked sesame oil does (though my son loves the food where I use the sesame oil). Experiment with oils to find what you like, but use an oil with a high smoke point.
2. Perfect fried rice. Never use freshly cooked rice to make fried rice unless you like your fried rice to be mushy and gummy. Cook your classic rice a day ahead of time, fluff it, and store overnight (or two or three) in a closed container in the fridge. This will kill the mush and ensure a nice fried rice that is not too sticky.
3. Oyster Sauce - If you've never used it, (or heard of it), it will take your fried rice or lo mein noodles to a whole new level. A subtle flavor that makes a big difference. If you want a nice sweet sauce for your meats that's not overpowering, try Hoisin sausce, or sweet chili sauce, which also has a nice subtle heat but should be used sparingly due to the sweetness.
4. Fresh vs. Frozen - I'm not going to argue that frozen vegetables are better than fresh because they are clearly not. They are, however, easier, cheaper, and faster. My local supermarket (and I live in a very small town) carries a "seasoning blend" that consists of finely chopped red and green peppers, onions, and celery. No time, no waste, dirt cheap, and delicious while adding some nice color to your dish. These always go in second, right after the oil. If you're cooking for your boss, and planning on asking for a raise, use fresh. If you're cooking for your in-laws, use the frozen. They are going to love the food and either love you or hate you anyway. There are a number of frozen vegetable blends that you can choose from.
5. Velveted Meat - The difference that this technique will make for your stir-fry meats cannot be overstated, and it is quite simple. For each pound of meat, (I've used it for chicken, pork and beef), thorougly mix one egg white, one tablespoon of corn starch and one tablespoon of water. Add the mixture to the meat and marinate for at least 30 minutes (I usually do it overnight). You may also add any spices that you wish for the meat. Once it has been well-marinated, bring a sausepan of water just to a boil, add the meat, and blanch for one minute and then drain well in a colander. Then stir-fry as usual. This technique locks in the flavors of the meat and gives it a nice velvety-smooth texture that is unmatched in flavor and tenderness.
I hope that this has been helpful to some of you, and happy woking! Get your Breville EW30XL Electric Gourmet Wok Now!
Best Review on Waring PCJ2 Parent PCJ2 Citrus Juicer ![Waring PCJ2 Parent PCJ2 Citrus Juicer]() I bought less expensive model that did not work from out of the box. Big disappointment and lots lof work handjuicing a bag of lemons.
This juicer works great, the kids can use it safely with a little instruction. We built a house this hot summer and used it several times weekly to juice several bags of lemons each time. It held up fine and continues to sit in my new kitchen being used regularly.
Do have to clean the pulp out often but once get the hang of grabbing it out don't even have to turn the motor off to do that.
My strainer is beginning to look less than white. Don't know if a little bleach would fix that or if it is a coating that is dulling.
Nice long chord handy if need the length kind of in the way if want it hidden to store on countertop.
Heavy enough to take pressure of juicing (even by kids who are not gentle) but light enough that I store it in a cupboard and take out to use it.
So glad I bought this.
BTW We make the greatest lemonade using 1 cup of lemon juice, 5/6 dropperfulls of liquid stevia and water for 1/2 gallon of lemonade. If don't want to do stevia, 1 cup of sugar perfect.
November 2012 still using this juicer regularly for my family of 7. Motor strong. Works great. The strainer finish did not continue to worsen, it just looks like a I use it rather than let it sit. I'm still thrilled with the amount of juice this device lets me pull from a lemon. So much more than by hand and with such little effort on my part. I wish all appliances were made with this same durability. Get your Waring PCJ2 Parent PCJ2 Citrus Juicer Now!

Best Review on Black Decker CJ525 CitrusMate Citrus  I got this citrus juicer when Amazon lowered the price to $9.99 and let me tell you - what a STEAL! I have not been this happy with any product.
I buy oranges by the bulk now and make fresh squeezed orange juice with no pulp, a little pulp, or a lot of pulp, depending on my mood and usage!
Also, I recommend squeezing limes and lemons on this juicer and mixing it with white grape juice and some ice to taste - ALL NATURAL LEMONADE with no sugar added! This is how Jamba Juice makes their "all-natural lemonade" and that costs like $3.50 for a tiny cup - save yourself some money and do it this way! (This is USEFUL)
Warning: You MUST clean after every use, or the pulp hardens and sticks to the plastic parts and it just gets harder and harder to clean. Water might not be enough to get all the pulps out in the first place, so I recommend using a sponge or brush while running the parts under water to get all the gunk out. If you continue to do this, you will get great usage out of this product! Get your Black Decker CJ525 CitrusMate Citrus Now!
Best Review on Juiceman JM503 3 Speed Juice Extractor  I actually had my doubts when i ordered this juicer because i have had bad experiences in the past with other juicers.

But when i got this one home and used it for the first time i was amazed at how easy it was. I read other reviews that stated you could only juice a couple oranges at a time , well that's not true , i juiced about 6-7 oranges with no problem at all !!! It was so easy to clean it's rediculous.......lol. the whole top comes off and it's alll made out of plastic except for the inside which is stainless steel. i just love it.

Read First Before Buy Wolfgang Puck Stainless 85 Watt Citrus  I purchased this Black and Decker juicer a few years ago and it is still working fine. I feel it is one of the most effective juicers and the price is right! Most juicers are horribly expensive and difficult to clean. This juicer comes apart easily and all the pieces can be washed in the dishwasher.
I find this juicer works best when you cut pieces of fruit and vegetables fairly small. After a few times you learn how small to cut the produce. Like a cucumber must be cut in fourths and apples must be cut into small slices.
If there are any problems with this juicer it is that it vibrates quite a bit while being used. It seems better if you put a cloth/rag under the juicer. This helps to keep the cup collecting the juices stable. It also collects drips and keeps the counter clean.
I have used juicers in the past which were much more difficult to clean so I think that is something to think about especially if you are going to go on a juice fast or use the juicer at least once a day. This juicer is also not very noisy which is a plus if you want to juice in the morning.

Read First Before Buy Juiceman JM1000M Metallic Extractor Processor  I feel pleasantly full, having had a green cabbage's juice and some food-processed carrots this afternoon!
My husband is the cook at our house, because I am disabled. So he used the juicer and food processor, while I watched! He said the cleaning was made more difficult by not much about it in the instructions. I shoulda had a job writing instructions for products! Goodness knows there is a need!
But the machine worked well and quickly. I saw on Dr. Oz recently that green cabbage juice can cure an ulcer! I don't have an ulcer, but it sounded like a good vegetable juice to drink! It was good. And it didn't take long or much work to juice a cabbage with this product.
I'm on a low carb diet--I've lost 181 pounds on it! And I have to STAY on it for keeps. So no apple juice for me. But food processed carrots hit the spot for hubby and me both. And what a gorgeous color they were! They took very little time to do, too.
This seems like a fine product. It worked right out of the gate! Get your Juiceman JM1000M Metallic Extractor Processor Now!
Read First Before Buy Samson Advanced Multi Purpose Wheatgrass Juicer  I have been the proud owner of this juicer for the past two months and so far I can say it has been a joy to use this machine to make fresh fruit and vegetable juices, as well as, frozen fruit sorbets, nut butters and cold pressed oils (oil extractor unit is not included). There is no one size fits all juicer, but this juicer fits the bill for me, in that, I primarily use it for leafy greens and citrus fruits. I tend to get a higher yield when juicing cucumbers in my centrifugal juicer, however, since juice quality is of more importance to me than juice yield, I do not see that as a draw back. With a little improvisation and plenty patience, I am also able to make fresh cane juice in this wonder machine. If you really want to take your health to the next level I highly recommend juicing, and after doing considerable research I have found that this juicer is one of the best and most versatile on the market.

Best Review on The Book Juices Smoothies Series  I wont ever need another juicing book (nor do i want one). This book has everything a newcommer to juicing, like myself, or even an experienced juicer could use.
The recipes aren't too simple to where its like, "Duh, i know you juice lemons to make lemon juice.", but they aren't too complicated either. There is such variety in here that anyone is likely to find something that they would like. Natalie Savona even leaves helpful litle descriptions on each recpie of the juice (or smoothie) and even goes so far as to leave the vitamins in each recipie as well as a rating of 0 to 5 stars of the value it has pertaining to; energy, detoxification, immunity, skin health, and digestive health.

Best Review on Juice Ladys Guide Juicing Health  This is the second book I have purchased written by Cherie Calbom. This book is very focused in addressing specific ailments, conditions, and diseases succinctly. Cherie not only addresses each topic from the standpoint of a brief/simplified pathophysiology, she also provides comprehensive diet recommendations including which whole foods will help, and also which nutritional supplements, herbs, and juice therapies apply. She also provides specific Juice recipes and discusses appropriate exercises to consider. She paints a wholistic picture to address complex issues.
As a heatlhcare practitioner, I find her approach very sound. I have applied some of the principles to my personal ailments after researching her recommendations with other sources, and continue to have very good results.

Read First Before Buy Green Power Juicer Model Warranty  I've owned my Green Power KPE 1304 Juicer for over 18 months now. Our family juices 3-4 times a week and we like to think of ourselves as seasoned pro's.
We juice wheatgrass on a regular basis and found that the machine works flawlessly making pretty much all juices. Our family is very health conscience and wanted a juicer that would make our favorite juices, be easy to clean and last a couple days before going bad, that is if we don't drink it all that same day.
I researched many different juicers including the Green Star and the Green Power Gold and learned that these models where a much older design from the mid 90's which has not been updated and had a few drawbacks. The Green Power 1304 is the latest design and I am telling you this because I was initially completely confused as Tribest tried to tell me that the Green Star and Green Power Gold where the latest and best models available which was completely untrue.
I contacted Kitchen's Best customer service and kept the kind lady on the phone with all of my silly questions for well over half an hour. I really appreciated the time that she spent with me. I really do not like to be "sold" over the phone and I clearly felt that she just wanted to help me find the right juicer. She e-mailed me the Green Power history chart which clearly showed the evolution of the Green Power/Green Star Juicers which was very helpful.
Our family totally loves the juicer! The kids enjoy having fun creating different juices and clean up is fairly easy if you clean it right away.
I highly recommend the juicer and the company's customer service is always fantastic. I have now purchased multiple times from this company and it has been a great experience. If you are looking to make soy, nut and rice milk I also recommend the NEW 2009 Soymilk Maker - SoyQuick Premier Milk Maker 930P My best purchase this year.

Best Review on OXO Good Grips Citrus Juicer  I use this almost every day for adding lemon juice to cooking recipes, but I've also used it to make grapefruit juice and orange juice. This clever little gadget is a joy to use--it's so SATISFYING to really REAM a citrus half. I don't think I really understood the true meaning of the word "ream" until I used this juicer! It scours out the insides of your citrus, leaving just a dry husk behind. You can really be confident that you got everything the first time around!
It's easy to use--not much force needed. With our old juicer we had to both push down on the fruit, and also press the sides into the reamer... no more!
I haven't had any problems cleaning it--I just rinse it out promptly after using it and swab at it haphazardly with a soapy sponge, and it's like new again.
Because so much pulp is scraped off the rind, you do end up with a lot of pulp on top of the filter, so when making a large quantity of juice, this needs to be cleaned off occasionally or the juice won't flow through to the reservoir efficiently... or you can do like me, and scrape it all into your juice jug for ultra-pulpy juice!
It just makes me feel sad to think that anyone is still using an old-fashioned juice squeezer. I've also tried the Amco Enameled Aluminum Squeezer, Orange, but that was messier, harder to use, and less versatile as far as the size of the fruit that worked. Get your OXO Good Grips Citrus Juicer Now!
Best Review on Toastmaster 345849 1109 Citrus Juicer  This is a great juicer if you're looking for a small appliance that's not an everyday player. This was purchased to make the large amount of manual labor needed to make ceviche(a traditional spanish seafood dish that involves lemon and orange juice)more manageable. I asked my wife to make it for my family and I was recruited (less volunteered, more drafted) to assist in the citrus squeezing. It is a labor of love because the recipe is delicious and taste bud envigorating but it is a royal pain to process the amount of fruit needed. I would eat this every week if carpel tunnel syndrome was not involved. After that experience I suggested that we get a product of modern convenience called a juicer. It has eliminated the negative aspects of this culinary delight and all that's left is the consuming of large quanities. My mother-in-law, who is a traditionalist and mocks people who take shortcuts, has given this little wonder her seal of approval. She tapped the juicer and said it was alright. "Praise from Caesar is praise indeed."
Ounce for ounce, it does a great job. You could easily pay more for a larger capacity juice extractor if it's something you use on a daily basis and don't mind cleaning all the parts. If your're making V-8 from scratch everyday, skip this model and dig deeper in your wallet. This is the ideal juicer for those times when a recipe requires it and you don't want to make a major investment for minor use. Get your Toastmaster 345849 1109 Citrus Juicer Now!
Read First Before Buy Hamilton Beach 932 Commercial Citrus  I got the Hamilton Beach juicer because I read that citrus presses would work for juicing pomegranates, and I have a pomegranate tree and lemon tree in the backyard. Once I discovered that a citrus press would work for pomegranates, I thought it would be a great thing to get to make juice and pomegranate lemonade.
I read reviews of various cheaper models, and it sounded like most of them tend not to get all the juice from lemons, or break too easily. For a fruit as tough as pomegranates, I figured I'd better shell out for a stronger model. This Hamilton Beach commercial juicer works great. It gets just about every drop of juice out of a lemon, and most of the juice from a pomegranate. It's very easy to use, effective, and easy to clean.
The only issues I have are that it's expensive, and it's also large so it's hard to find a good place to store it. But I'm happy that I bought it, because it's so easy to use and makes good pomegranate lemonade! Get your Hamilton Beach 932 Commercial Citrus Now!
Best Review on Green Star Complete Extractor GS 2000  This is my favorite juicer to date. I use it solely for wheatgrass - about 5 oz per day at one time. It is not tiring on the arm and I prefer it to the electric kind that pollutes the juice and the environment with the noice and vibrations.
This is the newest model by Hurricane. Their previous juicer has great reviews, but this model is a step foward and nearly perfect. It is by far the best maunual juicer available.
The clean up takes about 1 minute. Just unscrew the end cap; pull off the handle; pull out the gear; and rinse the cap, gear, and body under the sink. Simple with no mess.
Plus the pulp is very dry - meaning you get nearly 100% of the juice from the grass!
The best part is the price. You can't go wrong. This is the dedicated wheatgrass juicer to have!
P.S. Just make sure that you have adequate depth to your counter top to clamp the juicer on... Get your Green Star Complete Extractor GS 2000 Now!

Read First Before Buy The Ultimate Smoothie Book Delicious  I really like this book because the recipes are simple, flavorful, healthy, and have easy to find ingredients...which is everything I look for in a recipe book. It has a wide range of recipes and most of them seem to be worth trying. There are fruit smoothies, veggie smoothies, soups, popsicle recipes, situation specific recipes such as ones for moms to be and much more. My favorite smoothie so far is the Chai smoothie on page 131...real simple and tastes fantastic: banana, milk of your choice, honey or other sweetener, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, coriander, cloves, and ice...yummy! I also really enjoyed the Purple Power Pops made with just grapes and strawberries blended together...no added sugar but still tasted better than store bought fruit pops and much healthier! The recipes are to the point, easy to follow and she has helpful info about each one and how they benefit you health wise. Also, next to each recipe is a complete nutritional breakdown of what you are about to eat. I'm sure this will be the last smoothie book you will need to buy!
oh, and I just wanted to say that I am not a novice when it comes to cooking or preparing smoothies so I have tweaked a few recipes to make it easier, more affordable, and less time consuming.....so don't be afraid to get creative...if you don't have one ingredient on hand and you know that it comes from a health food store and its not the main component of the recipe then just omit the ingredient.....also...you don't have to juice...you can get away with just blending the fruit or vegetable directly into the smoothie which adds more fiber anyway and tastes basically the same...so, yes, if you are not a novice at eating healthy and with cooking then I highly recommend this book...it gives you a wealth of ideas for those that are seeking something different from their usual lineup.

Read First Before Buy DeLonghi DJE950 Die cast Juice Extractor  I bought one used, hoping for a better juicer, smaller price. This is the 3rd juicer I've owned, and I've learn not to stump grind, but dice your produce, and that especially works well with this juicer. I like the long wide shoot to fill as I dice, then get my small chilled pitcher and start juicing once everything is ready. Most of the time it feeds through on it's own, sometimes I shift and push it with a mini spatula, leaves have to be pushed, as well as the last few remnants at the finally. A shot of water clears everything fairly well. I mostly stick to simple celery, baby carrots, pear and ginger root, but have tried bok choy, cabbage, cranberries, apples strawberries and blue berries. I have juiced 3 times a day for almost 9 weeks, and there is a learning curve.
From the bok choy leaves, I wouldn't recommend this as a leaf juicer, it does work to fold them up and then if it slows just add a shot of water as necessary, but if your trying to just muscle them through it doesn't preform well grinding leaves up. The cabbage I tried both ways, and the cut cabbage went right through with little effort, the separated leafs were more of a chore. Dicing celery gets rid of most of the problems with strings, but sometimes a little water chaser will clear the blades too. Sometimes I wished it would grind better, but other times stuff just runs right through and I am very happy with the performance. Usually that shot of water gets things moving along, I have rarely stopped and taken it apart except with leaves. I have a 2-speed and a small juicer, but it's the DeLonghi that delivers more juice and less foam, usually 3 or 4 cups each time. I think it's the slower speed induction motor, but even compared to the 2 speed on low, Delonghi exceeds it.
I was a prep cook so dicing is second nature, just get the chef's knife so you have some weight behind it. Clean up is easy as any, I actually prefer the inner plastic liner referred to as a filter, just use a small lined basket for compost scraps. I use a dish brush for the spinner basket, that goes fast and cleans easy, but I have had to pick those little strawberry nodules from the blades. If you buy one used, make sure they don't send it assembled, as the bowl of mine came cracked, probably from the stress of being attached to the heavy base. I also have a small glass bowl I set it on, so it's off the counter and the suction cups stay dry. Get your DeLonghi DJE950 Die cast Juice Extractor Now!
Best Review on Aroma ACJ 181 1 Liter Citrus Juicer  I've been using this blender/juicer for two months now and it has proven to be a real workhorse in the kitchen. I don't do much juicing, but blending we do a lot of -- from homemade smoothies in the summer, to using it to whip up protein drinks after a workout. Everything I've thrown at it so far it has handled with ease!
The unit itself is built very solidly; I am impressed with how sturdy both the base and the blender jar are. Most blenders nowadays have a lightweight jar that I'm scared to death will break if I even so much as drop it. Not this guy -- it has a very thick glassed jar that can take a beating. In fact after I accidentally dropped it on the floor from the counter and it survived I can attest to the fact that 3-4 foot drops are no problem for this little guy!
It basically has just three speeds -- fast, faster and pulse. I find that those three are all I really need anyway. I never saw the point in having tons of speeds -- you are either blending or you aren't, the speed isn't going to matter a whole heck of a lot in most cases.
In the end, I highly recommend it as a great kitchen gadget for your home, or for that perfect wedding/birthday gift for the kitchen lover we all know! Get your Aroma ACJ 181 1 Liter Citrus Juicer Now!
