Movie Fat, Sick and nearly Dead

it just looked like a lot of waste and clean up.

That's why you want a quality juicer - that will (1) grind the vegetables slowly so as not to heat them, (2) grind them thoroughly to break up all the cell walls, and (3) press the mash under high pressure to extract the most juice possible. There's little waste, because what comes out of the end of the juicer was just going to come out of the end of you, anyway ... and if you ate it, it would take a lot of the nutrients with it. So effectively, juicing with a quality appliance could really be *less* wasteful than eating the whole veggies.

And I *always* read the cleaning instructions before investing in a kitchen appliance of any kind. Some are easy, some not so much. If a juicer doesn't disassemble to the point where the only real effort is brushing out the screen, I wouldn't buy it, either.

The centrifugal juicers are not good. Dr Gerson uses the Norwalk juicer, but this is way overpriced. I have been looking at the Champion juicer and the Samson juicer and will be purchasing the Samson. Dr Gerson believes in using a juicer to remove the fiber so that the fiber doesn't fill you up, and thus you can drink more juice. The Vitamix I have is gret for protein drinks but over oxidizes fruits and vegetables.

There are a number of good reviews of juicers on YouTube. So if you want to see how easy they are to use or to clean or which juicers are better at juicing fruits or veggies, you might check there. I found this guy's videos helpful and he sells a number of juicers online.

You can also read the reviews on Amazon for specific juicers too.

Yes, the Breville Juice Fountain Crush is the only one in their line that is not a centrifugal juicer. For me, companies like Breville are "the jack of all trades, and master of none." They do have a ten year warrantee on this juicer, and it is SUPER nice! But I am still leaning towards the Samson as this is all they make, and they have a great reputation.

I've stayed away from Breville appliances ever since the espresso maker I bought DH one Christmas started putting out black smoke on its second use ... and company support, after taking his phone number "in case we get disconnected," never called him back after they were mysteriously disconnected ...
