HealthMaster LWHM Living Well/Montel 1100-Watt 2-Quart Fruit-and-Vegetable Emulsifier

We've had our emulsifier for about 3 weeks now and we love it! It truly pulverizes anything you put in it. We liked the idea of not separating the pulp from the juice so this works great for us. When you put unpeeled apples in you get microscopic bits of peel in your juice but we think it's great to get the extra nutrients. If you want just pure juice, then this may not be for you. But if you want to use every part of the fruit or vegetable (minus seeds) then you'll love this. The soup function hasn't worked very well for us at this point but that could be operator error.

REVISED REVIEW AND RATING: This product was good while it lasted....less than 3months. Yep. I purchased in early December of last year, and the motor burned out on February 28th. I was very careful with how I used this product. I made sure I never filled to capacity and I never let the motor run continuously. Only once, did I run the manufacturer's recommended 8 minutes to make hot soup and the soup was lukewarm...definitely not hot. Buying this product is like putting your 200 bucks down the toilet. Unfortunately, that's the truth. I used this Healthmaster everyday to make smoothies. Yesterday as I was using, the motor started sounding funny and after a few seconds it was smoking and giving off a burning electrical odor and tripping the fuse box. No warning. It was working on one day and kaput the next. It's gone. I understand this is a Jack Lalaine product. I wish I had known before purchasing and just popped for a VitaMix. Previously, I purchased a juicer by him. That was poorly constructed, too and that motor lasted about 4 months. Also, the healthmaster is a monstrous and unattractive machine. As a matter of fact, the entire unit "looks" cheap. Important components of this machine are made of (rust waiting to happen) untreated cast iron. It takes up a lot of counter space. This is a expensive piece of crap. This product cannot stand up to daily usage. In the case of the juicer, I ended purchasing Breville's Ikon Juice Fountain,(it's a great juicer). In this case, I just purchased Oster 4096-009 designer series, beehive blender for about 60. It's a powerful 5 cup blender with a stainless steel base and a glass container jar. This one blends tough veggies and fruits, but it's necessary to chop them up before blending. This Oster blender also crushes ice in a matter of seconds. The ice is crushed so fine, you could make a snow cone. Two speeds only...pulse and blend. It's powerful. You can make mayo, grind cooked meats, grind nuts/cheese and make creamed soups. Because the container is glass, you had add hot liquids. It attractive on the counter top, too. I've wasted over 300. on Lalaine products. I don't care what he comes out with in the future. No more. I'm not even going to try and get a motor replacement. I'm done with this. I put it where it belongs...in the trash. The motor replacement carries a 35. shipping fee. You can get a "much" heavier manual treadmill shipped for that amount of money. Yeah, they put a 100 year warranty on the motor, but they know their motor is inferior, so every few months you'll be sending them 35. for a replacement. The manufacturer knows it's a bad product, but so what? They make fast money, quickly. It's a scam. By the time consumers catch on, their money is made. They don't care about the lack of quality. They know what they're selling.In the future, when purchasing expensive items, I'm going with the quality proven, name brands. I know it's a job for Montel, but shame on him for letting this company hide behind his good name to make a fast buck on a poor quality product. Save your money. If you intend to seriously use this product...it ain't gonna last long. Don't waste your money like I did.

This was a Christmas present for my mom and she was SO happy! She was going to buy one for herself and I beat her to it! VERY powerful and it comes with a wand to push the bulky items around so they get blended. You can even make raw vegan soup in this blender!! Just make sure you add garlic and spices :-)...make the recipes your own. Great value!

I am very disappointed about this product. I bought this for a year, and it is broken already. The motor stop working. The machine doesn't turn on at all. It worked very well before while it was working. I don't use this very day, cause the size is pretty big. The quality is disappointing.

This thing is amazing and fast! The safety features on it are a bit too much, but other than that I have no complaints. Very little prep work (just throw it all in there-no chopping first) and whatever I am making comes out perfect every time. Very easy to clean! My whole family loves all of the things we make with this machine. My three young children come running if they hear it - their favorites, of course, are the fruit smoothies which, unbeknown to them have lots of veggies in them too. The HealthMaster blends them so well and so smooth (quickly) they can;t even tell. A must have for the health conscience family!

I am more than happy to give a review concerning the Health Master LWHM Montel Emulsifier. This product has been one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon. Not only was the price right but the produce works like a charm. The delivery time was right on time as agreed. I would recommend this item for purchase to my friends and family. Of course I think you should get it through Amazon; it was better than going to the store.

My wife and I bought this blender to replace out juicer because we were tired of the process of cleaning it every time we made juice. We wanted something that was quick and easy to clean which this blender is. The problem we have with it is that although it says you can make juice with it, it is a totally different kind of juice. The juice is very thick, requires a lot of trial and error to get the correct ratio of juice-water for it to be consumable. The blender is very loud, very large and very powerful. We tried making soup like they say you can with this blender and after one taste by each of us we spit it right out and had to pour it down the drain. It was gross so I would not purchase it if your plan is to make soup in the blender. It's good for cold smoothies and drinks of that nature. If you are a current juicer who likes making fresh OJ, Apple Juice or green juices this is going to bit of a change for you. You can only use a small amount of veggie and stuff because if you don't the juice will be like a very thick veggie pulp cocktail.If I did it again, not sure I would buy this blender a second time, at least not to replace a juicer.
