I have the Breville 800 JEXL. Expensive, but I got a good deal on it on Ebay. Its very strong, stainless steel, and works great, dry pulp, pretty easy to clean. I throw organic apples in all the time, core seeds and all. Its centrifugal so it seems to work great on firmer things like carrots. It juices loose greens like spinach well enough, but I bet a masticater would work better for lettuce. It does not do nuts or pulpy things like avocado. I went with a centrifugal after much research because all the masticaters were much more expensive and it seemed like the filter basket in many models was breaking a lot from the pressure. I'm very very happy with the breville 4 months going everyday.

My only real con on my breville would be that very fibrous kale stems sometimes clog up the blade, but if you pass some celery through next it clears it out for you.

I started with a Jack Lalanne juicer I found at the thrift store. my advice is to stay away from this model! Its makes your kitchen a disaster. everytime I juiced, no matter how careful I was, I ended up with pulp and juice all over the walls. and it didn't seem to juice very well anyhow. and it was scary loud.

Omega 8004/8006 juicer. IT IS AWESOME! I got it at bed bath and beyond and used a 20% off coupon.

What I love about this juicer:

Low RPMs it is an auger style juicer so it only goes at around 84 rpms so it's super quiet. Unlike the jet engine sound of the centrifugal juicers

It is AWESOME at juicing greens. I am a green-heavy juicer and this is THE most efficient juicer at this price range at juicing greens. Other juicers you have to juice greens along with other veggies and you still find shreds of unjuiced greens in the pulp bin. Not so with the omega. I sometimes like to make a smoothie in the blender, but I don't like to put greens in there because I can taste the fiber from them, so I juice the kale in the juicer by itself and then just add the kale juice to my blended smoothie.

Easy to clean. I can clean my juicer in around 2 minutes. It's the easiest juicer to clean out there.

15 year warranty. I don't know of a better warranty in the industry.

multi functional. Makes nut butters, can be used as a pasta extruder (and all nozzles are included) can make frozen fruit sorbets to DIE for. OMG, freeze a very ripe banana and then put it through the machine.. so yummy. I also froze watermelon spears and made watermelon sorbet. I also use it to grind my flax seeds. It does good pureed food, you can use it for baby food.

DISADVANTAGES:
It is not the most efficient machine at carrots. Because of the way they work a centrifugal juicer is better at juicing carrots. but I figure carrots are so cheap, I can deal with that.

You can't just throw whole apples and whole cucumbers in there and go. Apples must be cut into 6ths and cucumbers into spears. It's a smaller feed chute, so if you don't want to cut up your produce, this isn't the machine for you. Prep of my veggies only takes a few minutes, but I cook a lot and am used to it and don't mind cutting.

slightly larger footprint for counterspace

juice is a bit pulpy. I don't like pulpy juice.. fortunately it comes with a strainer and I just pour it through the strainer before I drink.

I'm waiting for this one to land on my doorstep:

It's the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor 67650

Under $60 bucks and had great reviews!

I am going to blog about my whole juicing journey @ thecarbmonster.com and I'll definitely do a review.

Great review of the Omega 8004/8006! I also have the 8004 and love it. However, my cleaning time is definitely over 2 minutes! Once you find the optimal size for each type of fruit/vegetable you want to juice that most efficiently gets through the juicer, your juicing time significantly reduces. I've yet to make sorbets or pasta, but the juices and nut butters from the 8004 are fantastic. This juicer really does a fantastic job with leafy greens.

My only complaint is that you can only make about 27oz of juice using the stock bowls/reservoirs. If you want to make a large amount of juice, you need to stop every now and then and pour your juice into a larger container so that you can put the stock bowl back under the juicer. That, and it would be great if the feeder tube was a bit larger so you could put larger chucks/more chucks of food down it at a time. However, all in all, I love this juicer.

Oh, and I believe it retails for about $250 US. We were able to find ours through Bed Bath & Beyond with a coupon that brought it down to $199.
