JUICERS AUSTRALIA©™ were the first suppliers of the Lexen Juicer range to customers in Australia and New Zealand. Our official launch day was 12th January 2006.

The Lexen Juicer Mk2 is the new standard in juice extractors. This is a powerful masticating type juicer that 'crushes' 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. This 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 12-Year Warranty on its motor and 5-year warranty on parts.

The Lexen Juicer has so many different functions than just a juicer! It makes pasta, nut butters, healthy baby food, frozen desserts and is also a soy milk maker - which makes the price truly unbelievable!

The Lexen Juicer also includes TWO specially designed augers; one for vegetables and fruit and one for wheat grass.

The Lexen Live Enzyme Juice Extractor extracts juice by a ‘cold press' method, thus ensuring that the live enzymes and nutrients are not destroyed by high speed friction and heat, as is the case with the centrifugal juice extraction method.

The Lexen Juicer is so versatile that the manufacturer states that it can even extract juice from sugar cane (the bark and eye [hard core in between sections] must be removed), although a commercial sugar cane juicer would be required for quantities larger than one or two glasses a day.

The ability to juice sugar cane demonstrates the strength of the Lexen Juicer; a tough feat as almost all other ‘cold press or mill type' juicers are unable to perform.

The Lexen Juicer Mk2 is very efficient at juicing wheat-grass.

On the right-hand side is an actual picture of two samples of wheat grass after being run through two different cold press juicers. The top one is a typical juicer and the bottom one is from the Lexen Juicer. Notice how the bottom sample from the Lexen Juicer is like a piece of rope. It is reasonably dry with most juice extracted!

Pros

• 100% cold press juicer
• Tough poly-carbonate construction, auger etc
• Medium extraction rate. Ejects a damp pulp
• Entry level cold press juicer
• Multi purpose juicer, i.e. can juice - mince - soy milk - tofu - frozen fruit ice cream - sorbet - puree etc
• Pulp adjustment gives some extra control
• Very easy to clean
• Non staining
• Inexpensive
• Parts are also inexpensive
• Continuous external pulp ejection
• Summary: Very good entry level multi purpose juicer / food processor

Cons

• The ultra tough poly-carbonate parts are not dishwasher safe; (however the stainless steel Angel Juicer parts are all dishwasher safe)
• As there is no juicing screen in the juicer, some pulp gathers on the juicing screen on the Juice Collector Bowl, which must be shaken off regularly
• Struggles with juicing lots of sloppy fruit such as pineapple and watermelon. To overcome this, simply 1) feed fruit through juicer slower; or 2) put carrot / celery etc through occasionally; and / or 3) loosen the pulp adjustment knob. (The LexSun Standard Juicer or LexSun Deluxe Juicer are the best cold press juicers for coping with a lot of sloppy fruit)

• Superbly extracts juice from carrots, celery, parsley, spinach, Granny Smith apples, orange, kale, cucumber, ginger, sprouts, pineapple, sugar-cane (remove bark first) etc.
• Also makes frozen desserts, sorbet, smoothies, baby food, nut butters, minced fish and meat
• Grinds herbs and seasonings
• Makes noodles and pasta
• Tip: For faster juicing cut produce into a few long lengths, so they fit comfortably down the chute

• Juice wheat grass! (includes auger for wheat grass)
• Juice fruits! (mixed with carrots or similar)
• Juice vegetables!
• Make pasta!
• Make frozen desserts!
• Make soy milk!

• Stainless steel drive shaft
• Extracts healthy, pure juice without hazardous chemicals
• We tested 2 kgs of high quality carrots and made approximately 764 ml of pure living juice! (some carrots give more or less juice, depending upon quality, type, season etc.)
• Low 76 RPM speed insures the highest nutritional value and taste
• Living juice tastes stronger than juice from centrifugal and high rpm juicers. This is due to the preserved mineral / enzyme content of the Samson Juicer
• Excellent for wheat-grass and all leafy greens
• Modern design

• Rigatoni pasta attachment
• Spaghetti pasta attachment
• Linguini pasta attachment
• Wheat grass auger (green)
• Vegetable & fruit auger (orange)
• Recipe booklet
• Tamper / Plunger

• Never put the pulp back into the juicer, it will damage the screen and makes void the warranty!
• Cold press juicers are excellent for juicing vegetables or a combination of vegetable and fruit.
• Cold press juicers often struggle with soft fruit (except the LexSun Standard Juicer and LexSun Deluxe Juicer).
• When juicing a lot of soft fruit such as pineapple or watermelon, add some carrot, beetroot or celery to help prevent clogging.
• When juicing apples - we suggest that you use Granny Smith apples (or similar), as they are a hard fruit and contain more juice.

Test: Juicers: "The claims are true: non-centrifugal models do produce juice that lasts longer and contains more nutrients." CHOICE Consumer Guide Test results for 12 centrifugal and non - centrifugal juicers from $100 to $749: CHOICE scored the juicers for: Performance Ease of use CHOICE Magazine also tested the manufacturers' claims that juice made by cold-press-style machines is more nutritious and that it’ll stay fresh and tasty for up to 48 hours. Key findings: All the juicers performed reasonably well, with even the worst getting a good score. Our tests showed that non-centrifugal juicers do extract more nutrients - in some cases double or even three times as much! (e.g. double the calcium etc.) Juice from the non-centrifugal juicers still looked and smelt palatable after 48 hours. All the centrifugal juicers have large, bulky parts that are hard to fit into a domestic sink for cleaning. Best non-centrifugal juicer: Greenpower Juicer voted #1 non-centrifugal juicer by CHOICE Consumer Guide!

Most juicers available through retail outlets (e.g. Panasonic, Breville, Black & Decker, Waring Health, Acme, Omega 4000, Jack LaLanne etc) are 'high speed centrifugal juicers', with speeds ranging between 1,000 rpm through to 30,000 rpm. Their main purpose is to produce juice as fast as possible, by cutting / shredding your produce at extremely high speeds. The result is generally an oxygenated juice that is heated at a molecular level, subsequently shortening the life of the juice to varying degrees. Most high speed juicers require regular pulp removal and cleaning, which can be annoying.

High speed centrifugal juicers are not true juice extractors, as the resultant juice also contains finely cut / shredded produce 'blended' into it, often giving the illusion of a higher juice extraction rate. Thus many 'high speed centrifugal juicers' are in reality a cross between a 'juicer / blender.' Although they cannot extract a 'living juice', they certainly can produce a "fast food!" High speed centrifugal juicers tend to suit busy people who are happy with a basic quality blended juice.

Cold Press Masticating Juicers ~ Up to 200 rpm:

We chew our food at about 30 to 60 chews per minute via a cold press masticating process, thus insuring maximum nutrient availability. If our mouths were to imitate high speed centrifugal juicers, we would be chewing at an incredible 1,000 to 30,000 bites per minute... That is rather unnatural.

Some discerning customers insist on using only 'Cold Press Juicers' with speeds ranging from 200 rpm and less. Cold press juicers are purpose built machines that extract a high quality 'living juice' for maximum well-being.

It is recommended that you drink at least 250 mls of fresh living juice each day:

Although eating fruits and vegetables in their natural state does provide a substantial amount of vitamins and minerals, much of their goodness is locked in the fibre which is expelled from your body. However, you can obtain additional benefits from them when they are juiced, especially with a quality: low r.p.m. - cold press type - non-centrifugal juicer.

When you juice fruits, vegetables and etc., their goodness is released from the fibre and you are able to drink their highly concentrated nutrients, which are then able to enter your bloodstream very quickly and efficiently.

For Maximum Benefit:

It is recommended that you swirl the juice around in your mouth a little, thereby mixing your living juice with your salvia, which aids in a more complete digestion. This is especially applicable to carrots, as in their normal state carrots require considerable chewing. Drinking fresh juice before a meal often reduces hunger at meal time.
