Default 30% more than which other juicers?

Jack La Lanne juicer at http://www.powerjuicer.com/?src=JL249TY

says it gives 30% more than which other juicers? No info on Wattage.
Oh, I saw a number to call...Was told that it's 250 Watt. I think
she's wrong.

I bought a Hamilton Beach the other day. 350 Watt with the design like
Jack La Lanne's. http://tinyurl.com/35oufr. I got it at DD's Discount
for ~ $ 26.53. But HSN has a Hamilton beach that is 800 Watt w/
wider chute, bigger pulp bin though it would cost twice as much:
http://tinyurl.com/3chpzt and take bigger space. Also, it says
"Removable parts are dishwasher safe". Mine is not dsiahwasher safe.
But why would I want to put in the dishwasher but get a guest who
might, right Should I get the one from HSN? I am sure some of you
have more experience on this.

With mine, I have tried carrots (cut into slimmer sizes but I have a
cutter for just that job). It works great, just like Jack La Lanne's
and so I am wondering about his claim of 30% more. Any comment? Btw,
I didn't empty the bin after each use or wash the cutter since I
started using it 2 days ago. Any comment on that?

I also saw Black N Decker (400W) but bulky design; see http://tinyurl.com/2suaek
and a cusotmer pointed to the Hamilton beach which I didn't see (in
the other isle) and told me that it had better reputation.

Now, about 30% more ..

Would anything anyone said make any difference at this point? you've
already purchased and used it. It apparently works well enough.

I can alwasy take it back though I prefer not to. I bought it due to
size but I'd like more power in case I am making juice for a few
people.

I realized though that I didn't juice to get a whole glass, I was in
a rush and just juiced less than half a glass. If I juice for the
whole glass, I wonder whether it'd jam and fill up the bin fast. I''ll
check. if it works fine, I am keeping it.

Between 67600 and 67800, the main difference is that that latter has
bigger chute, slightly bigger straner, and bigger pulp bin aside from
the slightly higher HP which I don't know is that big a deal. At the
price I got, the 67600 is okay for 1 person now that I know the angel
to maintain when locking the lid.

HSN does have 1 year protection plan for $5.95 (for 67600) he total
cost after shipping for replacement would be the same if I just go buy
another one of 67800.

As I went to check my Hamilton Beach 67800, I wondered how well that
locking mecahnism would last. I told myself for the money, don't
care if it breaks in less than 1 year. Tehn, I couln't lock the lid
and decided that thing had to go back to the store and I wans't goingt
o get the other model wiht higher wattage either because both has the
same desing for locking the lid After some tim,e, I tried againa nd
this time, figured out the angle I would need to use as I try to lock
it. It is not something peopel would get it without some pondering.
So no guest of mine would be hleping me with make juice unless I get
chance to pint that out. It could possibly break if someone forces
it.

So I decided to keep it but I wouldn't recommend this to any serious
juicer.
