the jack lelaine is pretty good..... the omega 8003 and 9000 are good but they're expensive...you should go with the lelaine.... it's powerful and easy to clean....

Vitamix!!!!!!!!!!!!
you don't lose all that great fiber and so many other nutrients. The things will grind granite into a juice!
want to know more let me know...contact me.

first off.....whats up Mary!....I'm living in North Cak too, Greensboro headed to Boone for school at Appalachian

I'm new to juicing, new to this tribe, so I was interested in this thread specifically

one suggestion: the jack lallane is being auctioned for ONE CENT on eBay right now, and the Vitamix can be found for as low as 41 dollars.......granted, the prices will probably go up, but shiiiiit.....I'm not even trying to spend 90 bucks, let alone 340+!!!

eBay is the shit......I was a doubter for years, but now I always check to buy anything expensive off eBay.......

I love my Champion > had it for well over 15 years and have juiced almost every veg/green/fruit with it (except wheatgrass...and granite;) I know several folks who got theirs at garage sales for under $50 so look around...

I got my Champion for $25 on the Raleigh Craigslist.

I love it. Works perfectly - and is ten years old.

I did have to put 'juicer' into the search for a couple weeks to find one at the price I want, but eventually folks come on there to get rid of juicers. Love me some craigslist.

:) Happy hunting and gathering.

The Norwalk Juicer is the best - it is so good that it is actually worth its price, because you get a TON more juice out of each vegetable, and the juice is not heated in the process of its creation -- so it's MORE juice and "BETTER-FOR-YOU" juice. Also it will last a lifetime: Very durable machine. You will never need to buy another juicer. The problem with the Norwalk Juicer is two-fold: The price, which is crazy, utterly crazy.... and the fact that it is time consuming, messy, and difficult to operate and clean. It is straight out of the 1930s. Learn more about the Norwalk and the growing call for better, faster, cheaper hydraulic juicers, at the new tribe devoted to this topic, tribes.tribe.net/norwalkjuicer

We think the company that makes the juicer is making literally THOUSANDS of dollars on each and every sale of this simple kitchen appliance -- but that they would make still more money if they would just lower the price to a level more people could afford (because they could sell a lot more of them).

Better of course would be to design a more modern Norwak Juicer without all the silly 1930s two-step, lengthy, messy process. Still, even tho its expensive and messy, it is 'worth it' for the quantity and quality of juice you get out of it, and for the durability of the machine. But you need lots of time and money and personal commitment to make this juicer work for you, and most people just don't have all that. It's really sad that most people miss out on the best juice just because of the poor company strategy being pursued at Norwalk. We need to shout about this to attract a new juicer company into 'hydraulic' style juicing.

I'm thrilled with my Samson juicer (I believe it's like the Omega) -- does, wheatgrass effortlessly -- and super fast and easy to clean!

I love ,the Jack lalaine power juicer pro . I use it every day and its awesome . Huge feed tube good price .

i am surprised nobody (unless i overlooked it) has mentioned the breville. my friend bought the all steel one on ebay for 300, i got the plastic one at bed bath and beyond for 150. i LOVE it!

Well as I said in a previous post, I'm getting a juicer in about a week. Not sure exactly which one to get yet.

The Vita-mix, just looks like a blender, am I missing something?

I want a good juicer, but not necessarily top of the line, since I'm a beginner, and a very busy person who doesn't want to be scrubbing pulp off of machine parts all day.

I'm thinking the Breville Juice Fountain compact it goes for about $80, Breville is REALLY good from what I've seen online in consumer reviews.

Although the Jack Lelane looks like a good one too. And is within my price range.

i adore the breville juice fountain compact. the juice it produces is a bit frothy but very good. the breville is quite efficient, not too bulky, and cleaning is a breeze.
