Juicers

[slice]

I've got a budget of around $100. Ok, so Jack La Lanne continues to hit the airwaves with his juicer however an online search resulted in mixed reviews. Any thoughts about this and other brands from RFD juicer owners?

Been a while since your post but ... since I'm looking for one now, the best regarded ones are brands like Champion or Omega, or similar ones, where they are high horsepower, 500-600 watts, but low RPMs, so they slowly get as much juice out as possible, and not destroy any of the enzymes like all the ones that use fast/high spinning, and are exclusively brand names like Braun, and many others. These are in the $250-$400 range; from what I've read the quality and nutrition you get out of the fruit/veggie is hands down better than a common sub-$100 juicer. Yes it's can be a pain to clean these, but compared to store bought/stocked juices, you get way way more nutritional value. And, a juice bar won't often use organic stuff, and regardless, it'll cost you an arm and a leg if you're on a cleansing/health kick. Check epinions.com for more reviews and good detailed info. eBay & Craig's list also seems to have reasonable deals on often new or little used brands that I've mentioned.
