Do you need a good juicer than is built to lasts? Do you want something backed by a family owned enterprise than specialize in making juicers for over 50 years? And lastly, how about using your juicer as a coffee grinder?

If those sounds tempting, read on.

IT’S BUILT:

Champion Juicer 2000+ is a solid piece of machinery and is very very heavy. In fact, it’s so heavy we believe you could use it as your dumbbell. It’s built like it’s for military use. So there’s nothing sissy about this machine.

We like the fact that it comes in 4 colors. As a suggestion, avoid the white color because strong colored fruits or vege could taint it easily.

The Champion 2000+ comes with blades made of tempered stainless steel that are cast into the cutter for strength and years of use. In fact, the company guaranteed that they never separate or rust.

When you open your box, if you’re lucky you’ll get it pre-assembled. If not, you’ll get around around 9 different parts that you had to put together. Fortunately, you’ll get a printed guide to help you.

The feeder is quite big and it seems like you can put some fruits and vegetables right in the juicer without chopping (as shown on tv). Just note that whole apples don’t fit through the feed tube unless the apples are real small.
