Years ago, I bought a Juiceman juicer. It went back after only a few uses. The reason was because it was too expensive for me to buy enough produce to make a glass of juice. I just looked at all that fiber and decided it was a waste. As mentioned, I'd just as soon eat the fruit/veggie. Also, I found it a pain in the butt to clean each time.
So then I bought a Vita-mixer Maxi-4000. Scratch and dent model. The old steel container kind.
20 years later, I'm still using it and nearly every day. If the cost bums you, pick up a used one on eBay, you'll cut the cost in half. And the older steel container models are great and cool looking!
Plus, with the Vita-Mixer you've got an appliance that can do more than just juice... I do smoothies, grind flax seeds, have made fresh apple sauce, nut butters and have ground my own wheat berries into flour.
Oh, and super easy and fast to clean.
