The Welles Juice Press (also known as the Peoples Juice Press) extracts juice containing high levels of nutrients from fruit and vegetables by pressing (squeezing) pulp. The nutrients and juice are forced out of the pulp fibers when pressed using 2 tons of pressure. The pressure exerted by this pressing method is thought to release extra nutrients and enzymes that would otherwise 'adhere' to the pulp and left behind by juicing machines. The Welles is made from white powder-coated steel and ...

- 2 Ton Hydraulic pressure .. ABS plastic tray and press plate
- Handle for use in jack ... Manual Valve to release pressure

This give to us some advantages, like this :
1. READ THIS BEFORE USING YOUR PRESS!
This is the most affordable press I could find online (a very similar one costs over $2K and is apparently heavily marketed to cancer patients). It works like a car jack, you pump a lever that raises a platform fitted with a juice catcher until it presses against a fixed plate. One reviewer gave it a 1 star (worst) review, and the first time I tried the press, I wholeheartedly agreed! BUT... I found a solution. If you buy one, read this BEFORE YOU EVER USE YOUR PRESS!
The big problem is that there is no easy way to get the platform back down after you've jacked it up and pressed out the juice. Instructions say, go ahead, don't hesitate to use force to push it down. Great. Thanks. There is absolutely nothing to grab hold of! Only fingernails fit in the narrow space between the juice catcher and the top plate, the juice catcher is plastic (so you do hesitate to apply force), and the pressed cloth with the residue are in the way of anything else you might want to try to wedge in...
2. Excellent alternative to the Norwalk
The Welles' Peoples Press, if used in conjunction with a juicer/grinder (i.e. a Champion juicer), is a great alternative to the Norwalk juicer. Norwalk juicers cost $2500 new, and this press with a Champion costs under $700. The juice is perfect - pulp free, great color, no oxidation, with all the nutrients and enzymes in tact. Using a press provides the highest amount of juice extraction possible, and it leaves the pulp bone dry and with a slight loss of pigmentation.
If you want the best juice possible, or are on the Gerson therapy, and cannot afford the high price of a Norwalk, this is the next best thing.
The only downside to this is that a reasonable amount of strength is required to press the juice. If you have a disease or condition that prevents you from any form of physical excursion, the Peoples Press may not be a good fit for you.
Clean up simple, quick, and easy. I love this press and use it everyday.

squeezes blood from a turnip
This is a godsend for people who cant afford a Norwalk Press. Just buy a champion, (used, for about a hundred bucks on craigslist)put in the blank screen and triturate your veggies like phase one of the Norwalk, and then run it through this. I have both systems, Norwalk and now, this, and this compares favorable. It is a little more time consuming as the Champion does not have quite the power and tube size of the norwalk, but hey, you are saving about 2000 bucks. The quality and taste are identical to that of Norwalk pressed juice, so there you have it.
