I'd like to know too :-)

Since we diy most food it makes sense not to buy fruit juices.

============================= I assume that you haven't taken on the mantle of moderator for this NG?

A question about home-made fruit and vegetable juices isn't stretching the concept of DIY any further than many other topics raised in this group.

We have looked at this for some time. We came to the conclusion that there is only one machine that works well and that is the Jack La Lanne thing, at the amusing price.

We still squeeze fruit by hand as jacks price buys a lot of fruit to squeeze.

look to spend c£180 for a decent juicer that also does wheatgrass.

========================= The ability to do wheatgrass seems to be the criterion by which juicers are rated. Is there any particular reason for this?

I'm sold but it seems like a lot of buggering about. having said that, eating

Try wheatgrass juice first.

The message from "." contains these words:

Hmm, I can get through half a dozen pomegranates a day....

What on Earth is wheatgrass?

Mary

I can easily get through 4lbs of fruit and vegetables a day. I'd rather eat them raw than have the equivalent in 2 oz of juice.

At Amazon it's £120 carriage free, that doesn't sound too bac. I'll compare it with John Lewis. I'd thought of buying one for a son and family for Christmas.

What concerns me is the list of 'features':

Product Features Juice whole fruits- no more peeling or cutting Up to 30% more juice than other juicers New and improved slimline design

How is that last a feature?

Mary

Any feedback and decent price tip off appreciated.

The are american for goodness sake. You must try to have some understanding of of the difficulties they face in life!

wake up, ffs LOL

Assuming you hit the 'c' instead of the 'd' I think you must be in the "more money than sense" category. £120 for a thingy to squish fruit and veg?

FWIW, they get knocked out for between £60 and £90 by various companies such as CostCo, Makro and even QVC. Oh look, and even by Amazon.

More like a warning, you should see the size of the mouth on the woman selling the things. And come to that admire the crocodile skin of Jack himself.

Anyway, the La Lanne is now apparently old hat and the Breville Juice Fountain Plus - JE95XL is the one to have, although that seems to be a USA only model number. The following look like the UK versions and oddly enough it's the JE15 (not the "professional" JE16) which is the model that the Yanks rave about.

Is that your considered reply?

If so, was it worth typing?

How can you squeeze a pineapple - or even an apple - by hand?

Mary

They all seem to be round the £100 mark, except one which is well over £200. I don't need the bells and whistles of that :-)

The Magimix Duo seems OK but you pay more for some colours!
