Juiceman Complete Health Center

When I first saw the photo and add for the Juiceman I was thinking I found the first and last blender I would ever buy. 900 watts of power and 20 programmable settings sure sounded impressive and I figured for the cost of the blender it had to be a good one! That was my biggest mistake! After I had purchased this blender and was waiting for it to arrive I noticed some other Juiceman blenders on here and sice this one didn't have any reviews with it I began to read some of the reviews for the other Juiceman blenders.

This machine is sturdy and will last you a long time. It's much better than some of the other blenders that I used to have. You could make anything from tasty fruit juices, soups, smoothies to frozen margarithas. My favorite one is the crushed ice, rum, mango with lime juice.
