The Champion commercial juicer is a heavy-duty piece of kitchen equipment ideal for continuous juicing of fruits and vegetables. Measuring an impressive 17 x 10 x 7 inches (length x height x width) and weighing 24 lbs, the juicer runs on a 1/3 HP heavy-duty General Electric motor. Its floating cutter ensures separation of juice from pulp is a continuous operation that makes periodic cleaning unnecessary.
Accompanied with a wide feed tube to accommodate a variety of fruits and firm vegetables, the Champion's juicer parts, made from FDA-accepted nylon and stainless steel, are sure to last for years. While the juicer isn't meant for leafy greens and wheatgrass, the heavy-duty front and rear ball bearing installation guarantee smooth operation and production of coconut milk, fruit sauces, nut butter, baby food, sherbet and ice cream as quickly as it produces juice. The motor also runs cooler thanks to the added winding capacity that increases starting torque, enabling the juicer to perform well even with heavy usage.

Durable Nylon Parts, Virtually Clog-Proof
People who used the juicer were impressed with its durability. More than one review writer found that the nylon parts were more flexible and durable than mere molded plastic. They also felt the nylon cutting-cone was a good idea, as it was not as sharp as that of a centrifugal juicer, making the Champion safer to use. Users also found it easy to use the juicer, as they only needed to use the slightest pressure to feed food through the feed chute in to the continuously turning cone.
Another feature that users liked about the Champion juicer was how the appliance never clogged with pulp. The structure of the masticating juicer ensured that pulp was discarded out one end, separate from the juice produced. One user found that he could juice for hours as long as he set the juicer over a large pulp container. The same user also noted that the juicer never overheated, became clogged or jammed no matter how long it was used.
Quiet Operation, Produces Great Juice
Aside from the quiet operation and easy assembly, review writers found that the mastication extraction ensured complete juice extraction. The pulp that emerged was only slightly damp, and the masticating action reduced the amount of foam the juice contained.
The juicer also lived up the manufacturer's claim of being a durable appliance. One user reported having used the appliance for more than two years, and that it worked as well as the day it was first used. The chore of cleaning up needs about 2 minutes, even when done by hand with cool water and a bottle brush.
Takes Up a Lot of Space
While the Champion is a good juicer, its size and weight as a commercial-grade appliance means that movement and storage can be a problem. Most users resorted to clearing a space on their kitchen counter on which the juicer could be placed permanently. Due to this, this juicer may be more suitable for frequent juicers.
