Do you juice?

Asked by XD (1524points) August 24th, 2011

This hasn’t been asked, I think, since 2008.

I’m getting an Omega 8004 in a day or two, and I could not be more stoked to try it. I got suckered by the stories in Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, which is one clumsy ass documentary, but still compelling.

I found researching juicers a tough nut to crack, because there’s a lot of crap on the market and a lot of specificity in terms of styles and designs. For example, there are four types of juicers (centrifugal, single auger, double auger, press), etc, etc. The most expensive is $2,500! Anyway, I finally found this site (and their YouTube channel), which is awesome for straight-up objective product evaluations and all the things to consider (such as not focusing on juicing fruits because the lack of fiber sends your blood sugar on a ride).

My plan is to do green (color)/veggie juices and I’m stoked that the juicer I ordered is supposed to be really efficient (in terms of squeezing out the juice), especially with greens and easy to clean—the cleaning part is a common complaint.

I’m open to the idea that I’m being suckered (so bring it on), but I’m still enthusiastic. Any other enthusiastic juicers out there? What’s your experience?

@mods, sorry for the infomercial. The Web site really is an excellent, objective source of info and not the easiest to find.
