Is anyone else having problems with possible over heating? We juiced about 15 apples and the unit stopped turning on.

Yes - IMPO - you are Over Working this Juicer - As this is NOT a heavy duty or high speed juicer - blender - etc. so you are limited to - what you can juice - the amounts you can juice and for how long, etc. To do that many apples or anything else at a time, you need what is called a High Speed Blender or Juicer.Before I continue - I want to say that I just bought a brand new, in the box, etc. Warning Pro Juicer, exactly like this one - same model number, etc. for - Ten Dollars - $10.00 - at a thrift store to give to a friend of mine. Someone probably received it as a Christmas gift and did not want it so they just donated it. So Lucky me and my friend - who is only going to juice one fresh, 20 oz. container at a time. And using carrots - apples with seeds and stems removed, cantaloupe, muskmelon and watermelon with no rinds or seeds and vegetables that basically juice up easier than others and even when adding 100% Organic Psyllium Husks Fiber or 100% Organic Bran Fiber or 100% Organic Oatmeal for fiber - they do not care if it is not completely pulverized, liquefied, etc. because they have been using a low wattage, low amp, low hp blender and was ok with it - except for the apples and carrots, which they wanted totally pulverized and liquefied. But they said once they get the hang of juicing and want to add more to their standard juices - they will get a BlendTec.PLUS - to some it depends on if you want a Machine Made in USA with all American Made and Made in the USA parts, pieces, components, etc. or you want a Machine Made in the USA with other parts, pieces, components, etc. Made in Foreign Countries or you want the entire Machine Made in a Foreign Country. Personally, I quit buying American Made Electronics, TVs, etc. decades ago because they are usually just inferior to ones Made in Japan, China, etc. - not as well made, do not hold up as well and cost 2 to 3 times more. So I also have no problem purchasing anything else Made in Asia, etc. as long as it meets up to my requirements for what I want it to do.NOISE LEVEL - Both the BlendTec and Vita-Mix are at the same noise level - which is of course louder for being High Speed and More Powerful Blenders, Juicers. Just like a 4 cylinder vehicle motor with low HP is going to be quieter than what my vehicle with an 8 cylinder 525 HP blueprinted engine, with Holley Carb and Hooker Headers, etc. was. PESTICIDES, ETC. - THE MAJORITY OF EVERYTHING YOU EAT OR DRINK IN THE USA - THAT IS NOT ORGANIC AND GMO FREE - or that you did not grow yourself without using them - you are eating and drinking - hormones, antibiotics, coloring, flavoring, preservatives, animal spinal cords, boiled animal hides, animal connective tissue, animal bones, etc. - along with any and all other additives that are added plus all of the pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, bactericides, rodenticides, other chemicals and fertilizers used before and after planting. All of these deadly chemicals go straight from the seeds, plants and earth - right into the end product - Greens, Vegetables, Fruits, Berries, Nuts, Seeds, Beans, Lentils, Legumes, Oils, etc. and anything made from them. And all of the items that are irradiated and not marked as such - again - because there are NO Such Labeling Laws in the USA requiring any of the above to be listed on anything sold in the USA.So if you eat a whole apple, grape, bread, cracker, margarine, peanut butter, candy, etc. or eat anything that has soybean or corn and or any of their byproducts in it - or you drink any premade juices, beverages, etc. of any kind - you are getting the exact same amount of everything the same as if you juice it or blend it yourself. Again - unless it is Organic and GMO Free. THIS JUICER IS ONLY 400 WATTS - And if you did get a manual with it - that says in part - "If pulp collector becomes full, switch OFF, remove and clean out before continuing. The amount of juice you can make before emptying pulp collector depends on what you are juicing and the amount of juice that the fruit or vegetable contains. FOR BEST RESULTS USE HARD, FIRM APPLES". It does not state it will overheat - but it will. In fact, the manual does not even have troubleshooting details or FAQ's, etc. And it was all in caps - so that is what I put, I was not shouting.Not being rude - but you get what you pay for - and there are no laws in the USA on what words company's use for their Advertising to sell their products - So naming this as a - Warning Pro Juice Extractor - is what the company wanted to name and call it and they did - Using your foot, a hammer, a bicycle or a vehicle to smash, hit or run over, etc. - most vegetables, fruits, berries, etc. - and due to the lack of US laws - these could all - also be called and sold as "world's best juice extractor - or juicer ", etc. except that people usually have more common sense than - but consumer's need to know that Pure and Natural and Pro and Professional, etc. are also just words. After all - rat poison, urine and feces are all natural. So - IMPO - it is best to ignore any names and other puffed words, etc. and ONLY go by what the Wattage, Amps and HP - of any such appliance is - and read all NON company reviews you can find on them - watch YouTube or other videos, etc. to compare the ease and less complicated in operating and in cleaning - and read the Instruction Manuals online before you buy any model of any appliance. And of course, people have their favorites and will even lie to not say another blender, juicer is better than what they have. Other high speed blenders such as the - Vitamix with 1380 Watts, 11.5 amps and 2 HP, Ninja Ultima Blender with 1500 Watts and 2.5 HP but they refuse to list their amps so it has to be low, HealthMaster Elite with 1200 Watts - 11 amps and less than 1.75 HP motors - Also even the Vita-Mix cannot blend or juice the exact same items as the BlendTec - down to totally liquefied juice with no pulp, pieces, etc. - totally pulverizing it - if that is what you want - which is the only want I want my juices and smoothies - and I am talking that I make juices and smoothies using - seeds, nuts, pieces of the entire watermelon and other melons, whole portobello mushrooms, greens with thick stalks, shredded coconut, dried flowers, dried roots, powdered ingredients, etc. and it all comes out totally pulverized and liquefied. But if I want any just pureed or with pieces or chunks, etc. than that is my choice not the Blenders or Juicers choice. And neither can any other blender, juicer, etc.Many others cannot make fluffy snow out of ice cubes or bagged ice, etc. Another good test is using Frozen Strawberries and large, mustard green leaves with the thick stalk so you will find out for yourself - what your Blender that will do and will not do.Also, many of the others state that - you cannot operate for more than 2 minutes making peanut butter or - they can overheat - and ones using a tamper, plunger, etc. state you cannot use the tamper in place for more than 25 seconds or they can overheat. And it takes longer than 2 minutes to make chunky peanut butter let alone smooth peanut butter and longer to tamper all the ingredients to make soup. Plus the Ninja small print disclaimers only rate it to a 750 watt or below blenders, juicers so it has to have low amps.And - you do not have to after juicing after making a few cups to keep it from overheating. ANY appliance will overheat if you run it longer than what the manufacturer states or abuse it, etc. But the BlendTec can work harder and longer than any of the others without having to stop and wait for 20 minutes or longer before you can start again. I Have Not Worked for or now work for - any Appliance, Blender, Juicer, Food Processor company, etc. and I DO NOT work at all now - as I am a retired Pilot - Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineer who loves to eat, juice, dehydrate, can, pickle, etc. and I have been doing all for decades. IMPO - the best prices to find a BlendTec or any of the other lower wattage and HP Blenders, Juicers, etc. are at Costco or QVC or HSN when they have them during the Holiday Season or as a special, etc. - where you can usually get the BlendTec with 1 jar, etc. for $300.00 plus free shipping and or on specials they will offer the BlendTec Combo with 2 jars - containers for $300.00 - or VitaMix with one jar - that is not as powerful, etc. for $500.00.From all of my research and use, etc. - the Best Blender that also Juices for Home Use on the Market since 1991 and of course still today - is the - BlendTec Total Blender or just called the BlendTec.So course - you must only compare - no pun intended - apples to apples. Compare the Home Use Models with all other Company's Home Use Models - and KNOW what these models are named and or what their model numbers are for each company when you read comparisons and or watch videos. Because I personally have seen people comparing - especially the VitaMix Commercial Models with the other company's and BlendTec Home Use Models - so that the VitaMix Model looks like it is almost equal to the performance of the BlendTec - but - they also do not tell you that the VitaMix model they are using in those comparisons is a Commercial Model and that it also costs $200.00 or more than the BlendTec Model. Because again, as proven in two USA Federal Courts - even the VitaMix Commercial Blender Models cannot work as well as the BlendTec Home Use Model. And read the fine print as the Ninja Ultima has at the bottom of the page a disclaimer that says it is only comparing its Model to a 705 Watt Blender, Juicer so that show you it has very low amps. BlendTec is MADE in Utah, USA with 100 percent American Made parts, pieces, components, etc. - with almost all made onsite and in-house - and only some models of VitaMix Blenders are MADE in Ohio, USA with most Models of VitaMix being made in Canada since 1980 - but only with 70 percent American Made parts, pieces, components, etc. and not stating that any are made onsite or in-house, etc.ALL other Blenders, Juicers mentioned here are Made in China, Indonesia or Malaysia, etc. IMPO - the best blender on the market for decades and also today - is the BlendTec - not only because it has 1,560 Watts, 13 amps and a 3 HP motor - but because of the way it is designed, engineered and manufactured - and its Patented WildSide Jar - and where you can do both dry and wet items in the same jar - and not have to buy multiple and separate jars like you have to do with the Vita-Mix and other Blenders, Juicers, etc. - PLUS - you do not have to use a tamper, plunger, etc. and stop the machine to push the ingredients around, etc. so they will even blend or juice to start with. With the BlendTec you just press the buttons or set the timer - and let it do its thing. You do not even have to stay by the machine or watch it, etc. But I do - because the BlendTec is also the Fastest Blender Juicer available on the Market in its same market - this being the Home Use Machine Market. Again with the Vita-Mix and others you have to set 2 separate dial controls and also stay right there by the machine and control and change the speed dial to faster or slower, etc. All of which is not only more complicated but takes more time to blend, juice and not do as good of a job.

power rating has both 400 watt and 550 watt in descriptions

Don't know? Mine is a 400 watt and I have had no power problems, seems totally sufficient to do the job.

should i replace the blade?

I've never had to. I've had mine for years and bought it used in the first place, there's been no noticeable decrease in efficiency, which I find to be about typical for juicers.

First-time Juicer

So, this is my first juicer purchase. I can't compare the Waring to other juicers, but it worked perfectly and is competitively priced.Out of the box impressions: It was about 25% larger than I expected (picture posted to compare to single-serving Keurig coffee-maker). Assembly was easy. The directions were simple and clear, and, fortunately, provide you step-by-step instructions on use (not just assembly, disassembly, and cleaning), including how to feed common items into the machine. The instruction booklet also contains some sample recipes, which is nice, as the internet juice recipe sites are ad-riddled and/or written by people a bit more into that juice/detox lifestyle than I'm looking to commit to, and I wasn't sure where to begin. Great-looking piece of equipment, as expected and pictured.First use impressions: Very easy to use. Similar in sound and time to a garbage disposal. I didn't notice any oily smell--just juice. I got one teeny-tiny bit of blowback from a cucumber before I got the feed tube over it. I got a full 16 ounces of juice from 4 carrots, 3 celery heart stalks, 1 fuji apple, and a third of a medium-sized cucumber. Clean up is reasonably easy (there is a lot of pulp in the collector, which is kind of gross); all the parts in contact with the food and juice that require cleaning are machine-washable, but they will take up more than half of the top rack of a standard dishwasher (also pictured).First taste impressions: I expected disaster on my first attempt (4 carrots, 3 celery heart stalks, 1 fuji apple, 1/3 cucumber). With a squirt of lemon juice, it was actually somewhere between okay and good. I'll cut back on the celery next time, and probably just make half as much.Bottom line: From start (cutting up and cleaning produce) to finish (all parts rinsed and in dishwasher), it took me about 20 minutes. With regular use, I expect that time would be cut in half. If you're like me, and want to experiment with making juice a couple of days a week, I doubt you could do better for price and performance. You'll probably even be pretty happy with the end product. Clean up isn't an excusable deterrent either. This juicer offers a do-able way to try adding juice to your diet without a tremendous front-end investment.

My First Juicer is a Keeper

After considering juicing for several months, I finally decided on this model as my very first juicer. I knew I wanted an extractor type rather than a citrus or masticator juicer, but was leery of the lower price of this model. Would it be a disappointment, would it break after 2 or 3 uses, would I wish I had spent $100-150? Would I even like carrot juice or would I lose interest after one or two attempts? Well, I have been delighted all the way around with this juicer and the whole juicing experience. First, right out of the box, it is easy to put together. The product manual is simple but thorough, including easy to understand instructions on how to assemble and clean it. (No recipes however.) The black plastic is sturdy, and the stainless steel cup for collecting the juice is nice and easy to grasp. I have arthritis in my hands and these parts snap together and apart very easily with no strain on my hands. Easier than my blender actually.The juicing process: the chute will hold 2 large or 3 medium size carrots at a time, takes only seconds for each group to be juiced. No splashing of juice all over countertops either. Veggies I have used include carrots, beets, celery, and I have done apples, all with great results. I love the taste of the fresh juice.Pulp: I can juice a 2lb bag of carrots without having to empty the pulp. Might could do more, but I don't think it would hold 2 2lb bags worth. I found a good recipe for carrot muffins to utilize the pulp (delicious). It comes out pretty dry to me and I'm happy with the quantity of juice I get.Cleanup: OK - takes a bit longer than some reviewers state. The juicer blade gets pulpy and needs to be cleaned well after each batch of veggies with a scrub brush. If you don't, it looks like it might eventually get kind of clogged. The plastic and stainless parts wash up very easily, and the whole unit can be wiped off with a damp rag. Cleanup IS easy, it just takes maybe 10 minutes rather than 3-5 minutes, counting drying off the parts and putting the unit away in pantry.Other supplies I use: I bought a couple sizes of mason jars with the banded lids to store my juices in the fridge for a day or two. A bottle brush to get the carrot-y residue off the inside of jars, and a veggie scrubbing brush with handle to clean the veggies in sinkful of water before juicing.BOTTOM LINE: this is an excellent juicer! I can't imagine I'm missing anything by not spending that extra $100 - just doesn't seem necessary to spend that much. This one will work for me for quite some time to come.

Yeesh. Why did I buy this junk?

Sometimes you have to learn the hard way.First - this thing doesn't juice all that efficiently. Wanna find that out for real? Go buy a GOOD juicer, and use it. This thing starts looking like a massive waste of time and money the moment you try a better juicer.Next - think this is a good price? Think again. The lid on the pulp container is stupidly designed with an easily broken protrusion on the bottom right which acts as a safety - the juicer will not turn on unless the lid is on. Of course, when that protrusion breaks, it won't turn on then either. Replacements are $12 or so, plus shipping. Note that I got mine from an Amazon Store called "Small Appliance". Don't get me started. They suck beyond all human comprehension, but at least they called me a week after I'd already bought a better product. Hey: They may not be good, but they sure are slow!The replacements do not fit. So you get an RMA and ship the replacement back (your dime) and get another replacement...That does not fit. How the heck did this happen? Waring only has one part like this anywhere, ever, and it doesn't fit? So I get a lot of shipping charges to return the ill-fitting cover, and by now I have spent enough to buy a better product in the first place.TL;DR: Don't. Spend a little more. You'll be happier, it'll waste less, and it'll last longer.
