- the one you win off eBay beause someone tried it and didn't use the juicer again so decided to sell on eBay.0

Wait til mid-January when all the new juicer people quit and you can pick one up on the cheap through Craigslist, then sell it a couple months later when you get tired of it.0

juicing is hard, I tried it and liked it, but it was kinda expensive because it took a lot of fruits and veggies to make a batch. I could not juice for a long time, but for breakfast was good.

Your question is really vague. To me, if you use something regularly and it helps you achieve your goal then it's worth the price. If you're only going to use it once or twice then no it is not. And there are different types of juicers (about3-5 I believe). I suggest researching the different types of juicers and then looking at your budget and then choose accordingly. Maybe come back with a few juicers that you are considering and then someone might be able to give you a better opinion.0

Well I have a jack lallane juicer. Yes the better juicers are worth the extra $ if you are planning on juicing things like the wheatgrass, parsley, kale. Some juicers can do nut butters too or have a mill for making your own flours. As far as I know the nutribullet is a blender not juicer. A juicer extracts the juice and seperates from the pulp. There are centrifugal, amd masticating juicer types. I prefer to have a high end one with a large shoot so not too much cutting is involved. Check out cherie chalbolm juicing for life is a excellent source all about juicing what how and why of everything juicing. Gary nulls juicing book is good. And the juiceman has some vital vids on YouTube. Personally I love juicing. But it does rake alot of produce. But there is nothing like fresh juiced apple juice or grape or watermelon juice!0

I recommend you do your research. Identify your needs. Ask yourself these questions...
What exactly will you be juicing? Will you be juicing leafy greens? Will you be juicing fruit? Will you be juicing root vegetables?
How often will you be juicing? Daily? Weekly? More than once per day?
What kind of storage space do you have to house the juicer?
What kind of warranty are you looking for?
How much are you willing to spend?
What kind of juicer do you want?

I consider the Nutribullet more of a blender. Everyone I know that has one is happy with it and it suits their needs.
You can add some fruit, ice and maybe some spinach and be done.

There is a difference between a juicer and a blender! Juicers extract the juice from whatever you put into them, leaving the fibre behind and a blender mashes up the whole thing.
I tried both. Juicing is too expensive in my opinion as you need tons of veggies to extract a little bit of juice, but I love my Blendtec blender. I usually make spinach smoothies, mixed with some almond milk and other veggies. I love it! This way I get an amount of veggies in my body I would never eat otherwise.
