Would like suggestions on a good juicer that doesn't cost a fortune.
I'd like to start juicing soon, but am unsure what to get and am overwhelmed by the choices.

You can get them on amazon for $260, but they have a 10-15 year warranty on all the parts, so if something breaks they just send you a new one.
I've had it for a couple years and have had no problems!
Additionally, it juices everything from carrots to greens, to garlic and ginger.
The price of admission is a little high but I think it is well worth it if you plan on juicing regularly Posts: 169 | From The Poconos | Registered: Jun 2011

I purchased a champion juicer 12 years ago. We just recently purchased replacement parts.
It is a great juicer but a little difficult to clean.
My husband has been researching juicers to find one that works like the champion but is a little easier to clean. I don't remember the name but will find out and post it as well.

Not sure about the Nutribullet...
Are these 'slow juicers' I wonder? I have heard they are better at retaining the nutrients.

The blendtec is very good but expensive, over $300. to be honest, I don't use mine much because it is so loud and it makes the tinnitus worse.I called and they said they only make sound-proofing devices for their pro model.

Ok, I've heard slow/masticating is better. Would like to keep the price as low as possible but still get a good one.
Kinda shell-shocked at how expensive they are. Had never thought about the noise factor before you mentioned it.
I have tinnitus too.

oops sorry,the blentech is a blender, the juicer I have is greenpower juice extractor, I think it was about $350. Its a slow masticating one. I tried a jack la lanne juicer before and it was only good for fruits.

I just got a Jack LaLane Express about $100 at Kohls, minus discount= $75.
Used it 4 times. It does fine for me on most items, but twice has gotten jammed on kale. Kale of all things? I don't see why, but I use a plastic utensil to fish it out, roll it back up and get it through. Carrots, lemon, limes, no problem.
Haven't tried raw beets though, yet!
I can tolerate the noise level of this juicer...I was worried about that, too.

Ninja Pulse. Hands down. I have Nutribullet. Pulse is more powerful and easier. It's only 80 bucks

- ALWAYS - EVERYONE in the same room when any kind of blender, juicer, food processor is running
WEAR HEARING PROTECTION
Ear plugs are often not enough. Decibel-rated muffs are best. Keep a couple sets next to appliances.
Ear Plugs are required, though, for any hair dryer. Very important as, especially when on antibiotics and certain other drugs (that are often ototoxic), damage to the ears can happen at even lower decibels than usual for damage.
Normally, in just 90 seconds of 85-dB, hearing damage can occur. A hairdryer is about 100 dB.
But the damage may not show for a while. Always. Always. Always - wear hearing protection when around noise --- and please train your family to respect and guard their hearing, too.
Hearing damage can cause all kinds of other troubles, too, for - quite literally - our inner & middle ear system is also incorporated in learning, reading, walking, talking, thinking, planning, coordination and stomach ease. -

- If anyone is giving any appliance that makes noise to anyone for this holiday season, please include a fresh box of ear plugs &/or professional noise attenuating ear muffs --- from any garden, hardware or lumber store.
