Juicing machine

I don't know the name, but one of my exs bought the one from the infomercial with the old guy. He was so excited about it, but soon found out it was a piece of junk. So, I don't recommend that one!

I had one too & it was awesome. I know it sounds sick but my ex & I were drinking apple carrot juice every morning. It was hard to get used to but once I did it was addictive. We had a serious machine - like a $250 one - I'll try to find it if you want me too. If that is the kind of juicing you are going to be doing you need one with a really good blade. But I personally think that's a lot to pay unless you know for sure you are going to like the juice & use it all of the time.

I'm totally willing to pay the $$. I want a really great one. I would love to know which one you think is great!

Sophie, I really can't find the one that I had but it was a lot like the Breville ones. The process sounds the same & it had separate compartments for the pulp vs the actual juice.

I must admit that I'm curious / intrigued by the Omega, but I can't imagine that it could hold the amount of "waste" that comes from making something like carrot / apple juice unless it's bigger than I'm imagining.

I have also heard awful things about the Jack La Lanne one. aka aclassicbeauty's "infomercial old guy" reference!

I'm sorry I can't be of more help. It's sad to know that a kitchen appliance i owed is obsolete for all practical purposes - makes me feel old! But these new ones like it look smaller & sleeker, such is the way of things I guess.

Thanks! I think I am going to go for the Breville Elite (? I think that's what it's called). I'm really excited about it just wish I could find a coupon for BB&B. 20% off $300 makes a sizable diffrence.

My bf went to Macy's and bought the same one. I think it was called the Juiceman or something. Well, it broke after being used twice. He took it back and got one that was $$ ( I *think* it's a Breville one) but it's still going strong.
