Hi Ev,

I love my Breville Juicer. All stainless steel, easy to use and clean. Also, I got a great price at Macy's (think it was about $100). HAPPY JUICING!

Peace on earth.

Hey, gang -

I am considering saving our pennies

for a juicer.  I notice that lots of you on this list seem to have one,

so I'd like some input on what brand you think give the most bang

for your buck.

Mind you, I personally prefer to

CHEW my calories, but I'm thinking there might be opportunities to get

good use from a juicer.

 

Thanks, Y'all!!

Check out the new Omega VRT3500 (I think that's the right number, in any event it is VRT). www.discountjuicers.com I'm buying one of those this month. I have a Green Star I LOVE, but the Omega looks faster and easier clean up. After doing 30 days of juice only (a gallon a day) I want to keep juicing in the mornings and this juicer is just what I need.

Vitamix is actually a blender, but I did use it during my 30 days as I wanted tomato juice and the juicer isn't good with toms. I put everything in the VM and whirrled it up and then strained it through a nutmilk bag. (No, cheesecloth won't work!)

Another thing, what do you want to do with your juicer? Just juice? Wheatgrass? Not very many juicers do wheatgrass, Champion won't, Acme won't, Jack LaLane won't, GreenStar will, VRT will. Do you want to make banana ice cream? Champion will, GreenStar will VRT will, Jack LaLane won't, Acme won't

I forgot to mention if you go to YouTube.com and search for OmegaVRT you will get some great video demonstrations.

I agree, the Jack Lalaine is an awesome juicer. I was very very lucky

and spotted on in a thrift store, nabbed it up for $30, like new in the

box. High price for a thrift store but a good price on the juicer.

Hm. Good to know. I'm not sure about wheatgrass - the [very] few samples I've had gave me major indigestion! Hadn't thought about ice cream - the DH might care about that feature.

Mostly I just thought some veg/fruit juice would be a good thing for some fasting weekends....

Compared to the Braun, it’s very

heavy and a royal pain to take apart and clean. (But I imagine if someone hadn’t

had an old Braun for many years they might like the JL very much.)

I love love love my VitaMix. I've had one for over 15 years, and I use it every

day. You get " total " juice, including the fiber. Juicers strain all the good

stuff out (in my opinion). Although sometimes juicers are good for dealing with

various health issues.

But not only will a VitaMix whip you up some wonderful smoothies, it will also

grind grains and beans into flour, knead bread dough, make hot sups, make frozen

sorbets, grate cheese and cabbage for cole slaw, etc.

I think it can do everything - except mash potatoes and slice stuff.

They are expensive - but guaranteed for 7 years for any reason. Great company

to deal with.

Keep this number handy - if you ever buy one you can get free shipping with this

number - 06-001715

Where is the best place to order a VitaMix?

Overstock had one for $350 last month but now its gone. Thats about all I

afford to spend. I want one so bad. I have a JL juicer but I never use it -

too big of a mess for one and I agree it removes the fiber which I need.

That braun has a nice tray there, but a small looking hole to put stuff.

This is why I like jacks, I only have to halve apples and most stuff

doesn't need any chopping at all.

Juicers are like bread machines and treadmills, many people get them and

few ever use them, they end up in thrift stores and dumpsters.

If you have a local group dedicated to keeping usable items out of

landfills you might ask if anyone has one they would part with.

Giving and receiving of good stuff FREE. Awesome?

Some such groups are:

FreeSharing.org

ReUseIt Network

Around Again Groups

SharingIsGiving .org

FullCircles.org (Canada)

Freegle: Don't throw it away - give it away! (UK)

I'm sure there are more, this is just a short list.

Or start one in your area on .

(not an affiliate of any of the above groups)

(but I do operate an independent group in my area and it is awesome)
