Need juicer advice

[Guest guest]

Help! I want to get a juicer and I have no idea which ones are worth

it and which ones to avoid.

Now is probably a good time to mention that I'm

mechanically " handicapped. " Up until this point I have always

avoided machines in my kitchen that are going to require a lot of

cleaning (ie. food processors) especially if they have one or more

sharp parts. My beloved husband worked overtime one year to buy me a

top of the line food processor with dozens of little parts -- and I

much prefer a small paring knife and a grater... quiet little things

that are easy to clean and cheap enough I can have four or five on

hand just in case I haven't cleaned the others yet. So I want

something safe, easy to clean, and hopefully quiet to run.

BUT, I'm not interested in a manual citrus juicer, because I have a

couple of those already. I need something that will juice carrots

and beets and lettuce and cabbage and whatever else I find to

pulverize. I need something that doesn't have too much potential for

exploding juice all over my kitchen and is mostly dishwasher safe.

I don't sound like a terribly good candidate for a juicer, do I???

LOL!

Anyway... I want to do this for my health, but I'm lazy, so I need

to know which juicers aren't terribly expensive but will fit my

needs.

Any suggestions? I've looked at a few on eBay, but I don't have a

clue which ones to bid on.
