Wow! They made that presentation short and sweet!

It's SO quiet! I've been looking for a juicer, so I went onto the Interwebz to see what 'they' say.

Hm-mmm...kind of a mixed bag. Some people like it, some people hate it.

What I learned is that you have to 'be easy' on it.

What do YOU think?

It looked like the juicer was struggling with the apples, and the reviews I saw made it sound like a piece of junk. You can get a L'Equip or even a Breville for a similar price point,, and both of those seem to get better reviews.

Truly, it looked 'underpowered', as if it was struggling with the apple. Again, I would get a good blender, (Vitamix if possible, Big Ninja if not) and enjoy total juicing. Traditional juicers separate the juice from the pulp. Much of the nutrition/fiber is thrown away.

David did his best to be polite, but he clearly was not impressed. And I might say, neither was I.

Yeah...been thinking about THAT point, also. I hate the thought of throwing away part of what makes the fruit and veggies healthy.

I really like the auger-style juicers. Supposedly the heat from the fast juicers hurt the nutritional value.

So many things to think about.

Totally agree...like at any moment a hook was going to come out and pull the juicing guy off stage.

That juicer presentation was hillarious!

It was very uncomfortable.

I agree. It was uncomfortable to watch! Love my Vitamix because there is no waste! Juicing throws away the nutrients!

Well...I have both a Blendtec and an Omega VRT 350HD. Sometimes I want blended and sometimes I just want juice (or liquid with no pulp...blended or juiced, I prefer my drinks thin so I add a lot of water/liquid). The Omega VRT is a slow masticating and is very quiet. Yes, you must prep your stuff and yes it takes more time and quantity of ingredients plus more time to clean. But...it's a nice change of pace. I'll toss in that my most favorite drink is to BLEND about a cup of frozen pineapple, a wad of cilantro and about a cup of water. I then mix it with a bottle (1.5l...or a big bottle) of water. I can drink on that all day. Plus the "green pond scum" look freaks out the co-workers. (...pipman...)

Thanks for your input!...and 'Hi!'

BTW: Do you have problems with the pulp chute on the Omega? I almost bought that one until I heard that people would have problems with clogging.
