Would like some plastic in your juic...

I just got my second juicer in the mail and am sadly dissapointed AGAIN in the quality. It's a Jack Lalanne "stainless steel" juicer, but really most of it is painted with metalic paint to look stailness steel. Some of the paint was already chipping off and I can just see it ending up in the juice.
I had just returned another juicer that I bought three months ago because I kept finding pieces of plastic in my juice and the parts were impossible to clean because of very poor design... All kinds of little crevices where food would get caught and stuck there.
Anyhow, I had a juicer for 10 years prior to these last two that worked great. Actually it still works but is packed up in my storage unit in another city.
What kind of juicers are you guys using? I'd prefer to spend around $100 bucks but not over $200. All of the juicers at my local healthfood store are $300 and above. This is lunacy! It makes me so sad to see how many crappy products are created and sold and then added to the landfill a month later...

This is a reply to # 1,775,355In that price range, there's just no doubt about it (imo)...you want a CHAMPION!
The quality of juice (and the yield of juice) from ANY centrifugal juicer is dismal. The nutrients are 10-40% less in a centrifugal, the enzymes are 'negatively charged' and oxidated from all that spinning around, and you use FAR more produce to get a yucky quality of juice.
Check on eBay, too. A used Champion can sell for less than a new centrifugal, and still have YEARS worth of juicing left in it.
Here's a source for a new one for less than $200!!!!
Here's some STRONG info about juicers to check out:

And not only that, but you can do other things with a Champion (or similar juicer). You can make nut butters, do wheat grass and leafy green juices beautifully, and make the most yummy 'frozen fruit ice cream' treats.
When it comes to health, a quality juicer IS our BEST INVESTMENT (more important and effective than ANY other anything you can buy). ALWAYS get the highest quality juicer you can possibly afford - it's an investment that yields positive results every time you use it for the rest of your life.
Methinks it was a "gift" that your new juicer was disappointing...and that your angels are looking out for you :)

This is a reply to # 1,775,388By the way, we have an Omega 8005 (because I feel the juice quality is a weeny bit better, and because it's FAR easier to clean). Yeah, an extra $50-$80 bucks over the Champion...but a juicer isn't worth didley if you don't USE it because it's a pain to clean.
In the middle of juicing session, we can break down the Omega, rinse the filters and have it back together in less than a minute.
Each brand of the better juicers has it's own 'personality'...the Omega rocks for absolutely everything...except fresh pineapple (grrrrr). But is blows away the others on everything else.
The Omega does nut butters, extrudes pasta (bread sticks, too), juices wheat grass & greens easily and makes the frozen treat thing.
'Just had to add that in case you're thinking of 'breaking the budget' :)

This is a reply to # 1,775,395Thanks everyone. I'll talk to the folks since I no longer have an income or a budget and see what they think. After the last two juicers I think they might be feeling extra generous.
Plus, my dad is seeming like he might start drinking juice now that I've been watching the videos with him every night. And my mom just got back from seeing Jared Rubin from Garden of Life talk about raw foods and juice at our health food store, so I think she's on board too!!! - Champions haven't changed in 50 year... josephr525

This is a reply to # 1,775,395It's 50s technology with 2011 prices.
The Omega is far superior to the Champion and far more efficient because it's being improved upon constantly. I'd say go for an Omega 8xxx if you can afford it and are serious about your health. I got mine on amazon.com for $242 shipped. I've seen like new ones sell on eBay for $150 to $200.- Any juicer is better than no juicer josephr525

This is a reply to # 1,775,570and a Champion is a very solid and dependable juicer. I'd do like Dr Schulze says and get one of each juicer, and then take your pick (if you can afford it). Fresh juice from any juicer is far better than pasteurized, canned, bottled juice.

This is a reply to # 1,775,355I have an omega single auger...
I really would like to have a vert... but will be getting a Vitamix or something similar first.
And I have a L'equip wide mouth... I use this for things that jam the Omega... like pineapple and softer fruits. Sometimes if I am juicing hard vegetables with the fruit, I can alternate them in the omega just fine, and sometimes not.
But then, I do not do fruit much anymore since too much sugar, including fruit sugars are not so good for me. A pieace of fruit a day is enough... and then, I do not want to juice it - I want the whole fruit!
I agree with Uny on the centrifugal juicers though... for the most part... Some are much better than others... I think the L'Equip is one of the best ones for the $$$, around $100, with a 10 year warranty. I have had my wide mouth 4+ years now with absolutely no issues at all... and I think it is fun to use and a breeze to clean.
I do use the L'Equip most often for fresh apple juice - the very sour\tart apples on the trees outside - which tends to jam the omega... and I then use, and mix the apple pulp into my homemade sauerkraut and warm it up - yummy!
My thoughts are this... get the juicer you will use regardless of type, though again I reiterate, I agree with Uny.
If you are seriously dealing with health issues... then, you should spend what you must to get the best. And the best bang for the buck then is likely the single augers - strong motors, low RPMs.

I have the Omega Vert, I love it but it's just a juicer, no nut butters, ice cream and such. The speed of juicing with the Vert is incredible and it juices pineapples like a dream! :-)
Blessings,

This is a reply to # 1,775,355I got a new Omega 8004 for $242 shipped a month or so ago. I think it's the best juicer I've ever had. I had a LaLanne that I thought was good for what it was, but it wasn't chrome, it was white and didn't deposit plastic in the juice. I've also had Champion, L'Equip (that I didn't like), Juiceman [so so], and Acme.
The Omega is very efficient, quiet, and waranteed 15 years.
