Product Description
The Lexen Electric Healthy Juicer is the new standard in juice extractors. This is a powerful masticating type juicer that 'crushes' fruits and vegetables, including hard vegetables such as carrots. Since there is no heat generated as in other juicers, all of the enzymes are preserved for a fresh and 'live' tasting juice. The affordable price allows everyone to enjoy the incredible health benefits of juicing. More importantly the machine is made of quality parts which will last a lifetime. This is represented by its 8-Year Warranty on its motor and 1-Year Warranty on parts. This machine has so many different functions than just a juicer! Making pasta, nut butters, healthy baby food, frozen desserts and being a soy milk maker make the price truly unbelievable. The machine also includes TWO specially designed augers; one for wheatgrass and one for fruits and vegetables. This unit has a stainless steel shaft, 2.63 Horsepower Motor slow turning 76 RPM auger (keeps nutrients in tact) and is incredibly easy to clean! This is a single gear masticating type juicer. Includes recipe booklet and detailed instructions

Costumer Reviews
We recently received our juicer and are dissatisfied with our purchase. We felt compelled to write a review as we had also read the reviews here as part of our decision to buy this Lexen juicer. While this juicer is easy to clean, our complaint is the juicer produces a significantly low yield. In all fairness here is a quote from the juicer manual as to the expected procedure for getting the best yeild from the juicer:
"Step 5 - Take the pulp from the first pressing and place it back into the juicing Chamber as the first pressing is usually a bit moist until the pressure has been built up in the mechanism. If at any time the grass becomes wrapped around the auger or stuck in the juicing body. Press the off button and then use the reverse button to unclog, then press the on button again to resume juicing."
We experienced low yield with not just wheat grass but in juicing carrot, celery and spinach. We've resolved to using our other juicer because the yield is significantly greater.
If you intend on returning this juicer, you can find the return policy on the http://www.lexenproducts.com site:
"Q. Can I return the juicer if I do not like it?
A. You may return the juicer if it has not been used. A 10% restocking fee will apply. Postage will not be refunded. "
In other words, after we found that the yield was not worth the money in food product or time in producing the same yield as our other juicer, we are not able to return this product.
Caveat Emptor
Trying to save money and live healthy by juicing, I bought this Lexen Electric Healthy Juicer from the internet. The first one that was shipped to me, had problem starting. After calling the support, I was told to check the fuse. But the fuse was OK. So the support sent me a replacement. The replacement also had problem starting. I figured the contact between the fuse and the contact point inside the juicer, was not good. Hence I jammed a small ball of aluminium foil into the fuse hole to ensure tight fit contact circuit through the fuse. It worked. The juicer can be switched on reliably. I used it to juice wheatgrass and it often got jammed and needed to hit on the reverse button to reverse the augur to unjam the juicer. But after the fourth juicing session, the reverse action of the juicer gave up on me. Now I just print out online coupon whenever I can find it, and go to Jamba Juice store to get my healthy drink.
