Juicer recommendation

[AndreaSTL]

I am not much of a vegetable lover, but I've found that if I mix in enough fruit I can mask the flavor in smoothies. I'm thinking I'd like to try using a juicer once or twice a day, but I have no idea what to look for and what to avoid. Do any of you use a juicer that you can recommend or advise I not purchase? I figure I will have to spend around $200, but I really don't want to go much higher than that if possible. Thanks for any help!

I wish I had recommendations to give you, Andrea. I want to start juicing, too, but at the time our store was carrying juicers was around the same time my hours were cut severely. There is a web site called "Hunger For Change," but I don't know if they give any juicer recommendations or not. Maybe we should both browse their site and see!

You want me to do my own research? Have you gone mad, woman? :shok:

When I posted this I was frustrated with reviews because for every positive entry there would also be a negative one. I realize that the people here might also have conflicting reviews, but I figured I could at least ask any specific questions about what they thought. I just found on Amazon a review for a Breville model with over 2,000 reviews and rated at 4 1/2 stars. That sounds like a pretty good overall happiness rate, so I'm going to try to find a local place to buy it if I can. Even better is that it's on the lower end of the price range - sweet!
