Juicer
Can anyone recommend a really good juicer?I got a Juiceman from Sears and the motor brokeafter a few weeks. It still juices, but only on onespeed - super-super-high!
I tried juicing a coconut, and now the top partsof the [tag]juicer[/tag] are stuck together. I would loveto have a juicer that could actually stand upto coconuts.

I have the juicer that Mercola used to recommend. (I don’t know if it works forcoconut or not, though, because I’ve never tried it.) It’s so much better thana Juiceman. (I had a Juiceman first too.)But, he recommends a different one now, although it works on the same gearprinciple as mine, so I imagine it’s just as good, or maybe better. I’mbecoming more and more disenchanted with Mercola, (though I’ve been an avid fanfor several years, his newly acquired commercialism is getting to me), buthere’s the link to his current recommendation:http://www.mercola.com/article/juicer.htm#Carol

I’m not sure if you’re looking specifically at juicers but a Vita-Mix blender is great. My mom has one. It will juice any fruit (withor without skin, even with pits!!) and it’s very powerful.Definitely worth the money. It’s so powerful it will boil water. Ijust saw a demonstration at Costco so I know they’re selling themthere, probably for lots less than department stores. You can tryebay too.

Mine is a Samson and i love it. We used it to jiuce 30lbs of applesthe other day and got 2 gallons of juice that we are turning into ourown raw apple cider vinegar. Its “cidering” right now. I actuallybought mine on ebay (new in box) and got it for $188 total. Im veryhappy with it. If I were to get anything different it would probablybe one of them that have two augers instead of one.

I can vouch for this company. I bought my Excalibur dehydrator fromthem a year ago and it was the cheapest price around, shipping was fast,and no there were no hassles (or further solicitations). I have an oldAcme centrifugal juicer my brother-in-law gave me 17 years ago. It maynot be the best, but it is still going strong.

I’ve been debating between a Champion or a Green Star. The are boththe grinding kind, not the cetrifugal kind. I hear that they both workfor coconuts. The Champion has been around a bit longer, and is a bitcheaper. I think I’ve seen them for as low as $250. The Green Star hasa lower electromagnetic field, and I hear that (green) juice doesn’tbrown for many hours after. I think the lowest I have seen them is$400.
In my dreams I will buy one of these! In reality, I will keep usingthe Juiceman II that I got at Wal-Mart. It does not hold up tococonuts, but Wal-Mart will replace it if it breaks within 60 days,per the Juiceman policy. We are on our third.
