 Dr. Norman Walker noticed the need for an easy way to get nutrients from fruits to help peoples general health, and to treat the side effects of chemotherapy in his patients.  Juicer popularity has increased in past years due to the campaign against corn syrup in store bought juices and general health awareness of consumers.  It is much healthier and cheaper to juice your own fruits, but beverage companies are still making profits because many people are too lazy to make their own.

 The juicers basic parts are the base and the pulp container.  The base contains the motor and controls.  Some parts, such as the pusher, are used to keep the users hands at a safe distance from the blades.  The screen separated the pulp into the pulp container and the juice out the spout.

 Always make sure it is assembled correctly.  Use the right setting for the fruit you are juicing.  Never put your hands in the chute for any reason; you might not keep all of your fingers.  Place a container in front of the spout for the juice to pour into.  Use the pusher tool to push chunks of fruits into the juicer while its running.  When done juicing, turn off and unplug the machine then wait until all parts have stopped moving before taking it apart.

 Two year limited warranty.  Will replace with new juicer for free if any defect is found on the appliance.  Does not cover damage caused my excessive use or misuse.  Most parts are dishwasher safe.  Store in a clean dry place.  If base becomes dirty, do not wash; wipe with damp cloth so the electronics are not damaged.

 Large brand appliances, such as Cuisinart and Kenmore, have better reviews among consumers but have higher prices and are often more difficult to use  Smaller brand appliances, such as GE or a store brand, are much cheaper but are more likely to break and don’t have very good warranties or reviews.
