Re: What's the best juicer at a reasonable price!

[Guest guest]

I have a cheapie Singer.... it was $24.99 on a clearance shelf at my local

hardware store. It works but is VERY messy.

If I were going for a new one, I think I'd take a look at www.epinions.com or

some other consumer comparison site.

What's the best juicer at a reasonable price!

I'm finally buying a juicer. Whats your experiences. What is the best

I have the Jack Lalaines " As seen on TV " juicer and I like it. You

can see it here:

http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1 & SKU=13423482

It's $99.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond, but if you use one of their 20%

off coupons that are always in the newspaper, you can get it for $80.

I keep those coupons on hand at all times now, after finding out that

Bed Bath and Beyond and Linens and Things both take expired coupons

and they both take each other's coupons (even expired coupons). Bed

Bath and Beyond will let you use as many coupons as you have for 20

percent off each item that you have.

Mercola has a great one you can order from his web site. It depends what

type of juicer you want. If you want to keep the enzymes in the juice you

will need a masticating one. I ordered the one off Mercola and love it.

One of the things to think about is how easy it is to clean. If it is too

much work to clean you will not use it as much. I have had mine for 3 years

and it is great. If you use the kind of juicer that retains the enzymes it

will help the body to detox also. If you do not want that, then the

spinning type of juicers are easier and much cheaper.

My opinion is to go ahead and spend the money on a more expensive one if you

possibly can. A less expensive one will quickly not juice very well if it is

used often. We have a Breville given to us by my brother who didn't use it very

often anyway. I think Carol loves her Omega, and I believe some people use

Champion.

For beginners on SCD who are not yet ready for raw foods, you need to use the

type of juicer that strains out all the pulp and fiber. I guess that would be

the " spinning " type.

You mean " centrifugal, " I presume. I use the Omega juicer b/c it does some other

useful

things, but it was costly.

I'm still in the midst of completing my research on just this subject.

In comparing the Omega with the Champion, the Omega wins hands down. I tried a

neighbour's Champion and it overheated trying to make nut butter out of a cup of

slivered almonds. It was really hard to push through the frozen fruit for a

sorbet. I had

someone tell me on another group that the Omega is better. I did manage to

squeeze

out a small amount of pecans and dates, and I think I died and went to Heaven,

thanks Carol for that suggestion (though the Champion ended up turning part of

it

into Pecan oil, it was so hot by then).

That having been said, I contacted Omega and got the names of four local

suppliers.

Two of them no longer distribute Omegas. One person told me it was because they

tended to break down. He recommends the Green Star twin auger juicer, which

comes

in at around $680 Cdn, a bit out of my range.

I'm now thinking of getting a VitaMix blender and sticking with my cheapo $40

juicer

for the few times I use it for juice, and living with the fact that the pulp

won't be as

dry as with a $400 juicer.

I guess you have to ask yourself what will you be using it for, and what volume

you'll

be putting through. For me, I'd like to use it for: making nut flours or

butters, making

smoothies, sorbets, and occasionally making my own apple cider or carrot and

garlic

juice for cleansing. But a blender is super-quick to clean, just add hot water

and a bit

of dish soap, whirl it around, empty and repeat with plain hot water.

Good luck.

Another great thing about the Omega is making " Ice Cream.

Feed in pieces of frozen fruit and out comes creamy frozen dessert. It is great

plain, or

with honey or combined with dripped or plain yogurt. I have made pineapple,

pear,

strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, banana, mango. You could also make an

interesting

avocado frozen puree to use with a slad or veggie plate.

The Omega is over $500 in Canada. They are at The Big Carrot in Toronto

Try eBay for a used one.

When I infrequently have to lose a little weight I tend not to use my Omega or

my Cuisinart

for a while, but am still happy I have them as it gives me many, many options

for easily

prepared and delicious recipes. I make nut butter too in the Omega.(I have no $

interest)

BTW, I made my first nut free squash pancake for breakfast and loved it. I did

not include

baking soda as am suspecting that's what has put me off of SCD baked goods.

Actually, the juicers that do not spin filter the pulp out of the juice.

The spinning ones tend to leave it in unless they come with an attached

filter. Mine has 2 cups, one where the juice comes out, and one where the

pulp comes out. I throw the pulp away : )

I call it " The Rule of Leftovers :-)

I had about a third of a cup of mashed butternut squash left from yesterday. I

combined it

with a beaten egg and a tablespoon of almond flour and poured it into a heated

6 " skillet

to which I had added a pat of butter. When the pancake set, I flipped it over

long enough

to get it dry on the underside and then I served it with a generous drizzle of

honey.
