Is Montel Williams' Healthmaster worth the money?

You are going to get many reviews on this one! My own opinion when it comes to foods is to really try it yourself. If we need reviews to guide us through I would tell you do it and buy it and that is because I am into eating healthy. Good nutrients getting into the system in a new way works for me. I also think there are quite a few alternatives out there and at lower prices but who knows you may say it's the best purchase you ever made. It now features:

• New BPA-FREE 70-oz. Pitcher
• 2 Extra Serrated Upward Blades
  for Optimal Blending and Chopping
• Extra Large Lid Opening to Add Whole
  Fruits and Vegetables Easily
• Now Available In Red, White, & Black
  to Match Your Kitchen
• Sleek Design With Stainless Steel Panels
  and Easy Grip Pitcher Handle
• 1200 Watts of Power

No. Our Montel Williams HealthMaster was purchased in February of this year, and was first used in May. it is now July. It worked very well three or perhaps four times, including twice when I made spinach soup in the blender, and once for a banana smoothie. Tonight I loaded up the blender, properly placed the blender body onto the engine base, then hit the power switch. The unit came did turn on, or at least the buttons lit up, but the motor would not turn. I called Customer Service for assistance, and the gentleman talked me through the procedure and determined that the base unit or motor was not turning. Since July is out of the warranty, the base needs replacement. Even though the motor is "covered" for 100 years, I have still been charged $32 for the replacement base, which should be here in two to three weeks. The guy was nice enough, for for that kind of money and a 100 year warranty on the motor, it should not cost me 30 bucks and three weeks to get a replacement. Thanks, Denise, Philadelphia PA

Yes, it IS worth the money.  Be careful though, if you buy it from their website.  It seems like people have problems going through the company. I found mine on Ebay....brand new, still in the box, and a little cheaper.  I use mine about 3-4 times per week, if not more, and am thrilled with it. 

Absolutely not!  I purchased one 4-months ago and when I tried using it recently, it didn't turn on.  I contacted customer service, and they had me to unplug, hit the reset button (I had to ask them where on the bottom of the machine is the "reset" button located?), plug in the system, and yes it didn't turn on.  After informing customer service that it didn't turn back on, they offered me a replacement since it's under warranty for an additional $29.95 + shipping & handling.  I said to the representative that it appears that the lifespan of the Healthmaster is only four months, and I would have to replace it every four months, he said, that's all we have to offer you.

WARNING!!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS SYSTEM, BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!!!!

Montel tells you to add spinach to a smoothie that your kids will love......while spinach IS good for you...you need to know....that spinach blocks calcium absorption when used routinely. Is this something he makes known in his infomercial?...no its not!! Moms Please read up on stuff like this before you push this stuff on your kids....its just as important to know the down sides of doing too much....as it is knowing the benefits! I have added an excerpt from a book i'm reading.
Caution Spinach is one of the foods that is most commonly associated with allergies.  Probably because of its very tightly-packed nutrients.  Any one of its agents could trigger an allergy in a person who happens to be allergic to something. Wonderful though spinach is, and bountiful in healthful benefits, I say we still always eat in moderation. 
Due to the fact that Spinach is a green juice, you will find it beneficial to have no more than about ¼ of your juice consisting of green juice. Spinach is a natural laxative and when consumer in larger amounts, it may be too much of a laxative. Use Spinach in moderation. Spinach, although a good vegetable from a nutritional point of view, is also rich in oxalic acid. Oxalic acid requires exercise for it to be metabolized. If you get too much oxalic acid, then your body will begin to actually loose nutrients. For most people, having Spinach juice once or twice a week is enough. For specific diatary advice, consult your medical doctor, nutritionist or naturopath.   Spinach is high in oxalic acid, as mentioned, and therefore should be avoided by those who suffer from or are at risk for kidney stones, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis and those whose stomach is easily irritated. Read my notes on oxalic acid for more information. Since spinach is high in oxalic acid, you should also avoid combining spinach with other vegetables that are high in calcium, such as broccoli. Oxalic acid combines with calcium to create an indigestible compound. You should also avoid eating calcium rich food immediately after eating or juicing spinach or any food high in oxalic acid. This includes foods like tofu.

I bought my Healthmaster about 1 month ago and absolutely LOVE IT.  I use it EVERY MORNING and have had no problems with it whatsoever.  I can't go a day without having my beverage of carrots, grannysmith apples and celery.  I feel more energized and can focus much better than ever before.  Besides, knowing that I am getting my daily requirement of fruits and vegetables makes me feel good, too.  I would HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone who is looking to improve their health. Some people have commented that theirs just "stops working", but if you don't have every component locked in place, in will not turn on.  Just make sure the base is locked and the lid is locked, and there shouldn't be any problems.  This was the BEST investment in an appliance that I have ever made. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!

The Living Well Health Master blender is called a fruit and vegetable emulsifier.  The kitchen appliance is supposed to replace the blender, juicer, and mixer. 

The Health Master is designed to liquify the whole fruit or vegetable so that you get all of the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber from every part of the plant such as the skin & seeds.

There are mixed reviews on this product, some people love it and some people hate it. There has been issues with it not working for many people. Other have enjoyed how much easier it has made their raw vegetable preparation. If you are looking for something that has surefire revies to get the job done you may want to check out the Vitamix.




 

No- I read many reviews and 90% were bad. From the product not juicing as advertised to not turning on at all.
