I'm trying to figure out if there's nickel in this juicer. Would somebody be so kind as to tell me if a magnet sticks to it? Thanks!

I tried putting a fridge magnet on it. There is definitely a magnetic attraction on the business end (not the handle) but very very weak. I hope this helps. For what it's worth it is very sturdy and works great.

Hello, Breezy! There is nickel in this lemon/lime juicer. It is made of 18/8 stainless steel (the 8% making up the nickel content). Hope this helps! ~ Hannah from Wild Mint Shop

Yes, a magnet sticks to our juicer. We've had it for a year and are very happy with it's performance. We use it mostly to juice limes for mixed drinks or tacos.

Yes, the bottom of the pan is magnetic. Great product I just purchased it and have made some Aronia Berry (chokecherry) Juice.

No....the body (chrome part) is metal and the transmission inside the body also contains metal gears........the parts that do the actual juicing are plastic, but there are two types of plastic.....the food chute is a typical clear, thick plastic.....the black pieces like the auger and nosepiece are made from a new heavy duty plastic that resists wear....I use this juicer everyday and the plastic pieces are holding up fantastic.......in fact I can see no wear whatsoever on the auger and nosepiece.......I could easily see this lasting for many years before worrying about replacing anything.

Mostly stainless steel. However on the inside there are some plastic pieces. Not all stainless steel. I don't think you can get any juicer that is fully stainless steel. My omega is plastic and that cost over $200. This is a pretty good juicer I own this one too. I started with the plastic jack lalaine lasted over 5 yrs. I Graduated to this one. So far i had it for over a yr with a lot of usesage almost everyday. Then later I found the omega for a good deal and couldn't let it go. Both are great. Just somewhat different purposes. The jack lalaine is a quick juicer, omega is a slow juicer. Bottom line it's mostly stainless steel with some plastic pieces on the inside.

Never tried putting a magnet on it. I'm no metallurgist, but from the feel of it I would guess a magnet would not stick, but I honestly don't know.

Not so well, there is pulp in everything. I juice with a heavy-duty screen and then juice the juice with the original screen and there is still pulp.

Jack: Since I have no way to be sure, I had to research to find a way to determine if the sifter is made of stainless or tin. I don't own it long enough to see if it is rusting, which tin would do. See http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/874463 the second reply, which says that stainless attracts a magnet and tin doesn't. I tried that and yes the sifter attracts a magnet. I can tell you that the sifter is made of heavy gauge metal, holds up to five cups at the top line that you see in the photo, the fixed handle is very strongly attached, and the sifter handle moves easily. I'm happy with it for the time-to-time baking that I do. I hope this was helpful. Best wishes.

My juicer works correctly. Your juicer must be wired wrong but it will not damage the machine even if it is wired backwards. You can just adapt to the way it's wired.

I don't know, took a look and didn't see anything - probably on the packaging which is long gone...HOWEVER this juicer heavy and is of exceptional quality - I would take the time to find out for sure before passing on this wonderful product...

I have no idea of the exact metal content of this item but I can tell you that I tried several large magnets and none would stick to it. Don't know if that helps to answer your question. Sorry.

Dear Catie, I did a little more research. It looks like this product carries a California warning of possible lead in the product. It doesn't mention Nickle. However, unless you are grinding (dust issue) this item, or eating it, it should be safe enough for those items where there isn't a lot of wear and tear. Many things coming out of China are not "free" of potential problematic metals.

Good question. I just tried some magnets and none of them stuck. So it seems whatever it is made of is not iron or steel.

not at all ! I was amazed how it extracted the juice at no effort at all. No waste and the juice tasted really good. Very different from my old juicer. The only con I have is that the cover keeps falling off the juicer because I always put it up on the shelf. It will be ideal if you just leave it on the counter. Hope your arm feels better.

Hi Eleanor D. I love my Waring juicer. The pulp stays inside, and it's really dry!!! No pulp in the juice though. :)

Nope and theory issue I have had with it is pineapple. It seems to get stuck in the strainer and slow the discharge of juice.

I have no idea. I hated this unit as the pulp that was left over after juicing was soaking wet with nutrients and juice. I have got rid of this juicer and purchased a Norwalk. Sorry I didn't do that from the beginning. I had the Omega horizontal and after that got the Vert and hated both!
