How many people have a juicer and do you recommend one?

[Lefty]

I was thinking of buying a Jack Lalane(sp) juicer and was wondering if they are worth it? I do like to drink smoothies so I think I might buy one.

No offense to Jack, but if I were you I'd spend the extra money & get a Vitamix. Can't be beat.

This link is to the reconditioned ones. Run about $369 but i'm telling you they're worth it. 7 year warranty. Very different from a regular juicer.

Let us know what you decide...oh, you may be able to get one on Ebay but not sure the warranty would still apply.

Good luck!

We got one for Christmas. Can you put the entire fruit in it? Peel, seeds, etc? In other words, does it "juice" or "pulverize"? The Vitamix pulverizes.

As you can tell, I haven't used mine yet.

Well uh...no. I actually bought it for Mr. Man cuz he's been wanting one. And it wouldn't fit in my stocking anyway.



BTW, used the magic bullet this morning. Made pancakes, eggs, etc. Those had to be the fluffiest scrambled eggs I've ever had. That thing rocks!

Hey 100%, I must apologize. I bought mine at the store so it didn't come with the juicer or full size blender. So, I'm gonna call to order one on the phone & get the whole she-bang...then give mine as a "re-gift" to my mom or something.

This is TRUE. I didn't think about that. Except he's coming home & I'm sure NSD will be making sure he's well fed.

Isn't that sweet?

I just saw this at Costco for $100, so I bought it. I had wanted one for a long time, but I heard they are a pain to clean. I know that Costco lets you return anything so I gave it a try. So far it’s awesome. It makes a lot more juice from the fruits/vegs than I thought it would. Clean-up is very easy. I timed it and it was 4 minutes from start to finish. You can also run it through the dishwasher if you want to.

I don’t like eating fruits/vegs, so this works great for me. But if you’re just looking to make smoothies, a blender would probably be easier.

Did you ever buy one? I've been using mine every day for a month now. I don't want to do a commercial for it, but I must say that I feel great. I've always had a problem sleeping, but now I sleep a solid 7 hours every night. I haven't been sick and I don't even drink coffee anymore. It's actually pretty darn fun to go to costo and buy tons of fruit/vegs and watch their faces as I check out.
