juicer recommendations?

I got the omega 8004 last month from Bed Bath and Beyond. If you sign up for their e-newsletter, you get a coupon for 20% off, so the $260 juicer will cost you $208 plus tax.

It's a lovely masticating juicer and I use it once or twice a day everyday since I got it. Well worth the money. Also makes the most delicious all fruit sorbets from slightly thawed frozen bananas, watermelons, grapes, berries, etc.

You can watch videos of various juicers in action on youtube, but pay attention to the color of the juice that comes out...the centrifugal juicers (like the breville) produce slightly off color juice vs. the masticating juicers, so the type you get will affect the juice you make.

There's this hyper guy called "rawfoods" on youtube that supplies juicers and he has great comparison videos.

I would avoid them all

I make juices based on colour so green is kiwi spinach green apple and cucumber or celery. Orange is carrot orange ginger and an apple and I add grapefruit or lemon as I don't like my juice too sweet. Beetroot is my favourite vegetable to juice and it is so pretty too I add an apple some ginger and some lemon. Have a play I am sure that you will be very pleasantly surprised by the different flavours you can create and just make sure you are adding lots of veggies not just fruit to keep the sugar down.
