Costco Members: Nutribullet Centrifugal Juicer Pro

You mean buy sugar in form of juice?

1. There is no cold press juicers worth buying under $500 - extraction and texture of the juice matters. You want smooth juice without pulp - good luck finding it under $500.

2. Every juicer has like 20 parts that need to be cleaned after every use - imagine a blender but worse for clean up

3. Stop telling people to buy juice at Walmart when "regular" grocery stores dont carry 100% juice products only juice from concentrate that contains 10% juice and the bottle still costs $5-6 so its more money for a FAR inferior product

4. Juicers are not made to promote weight loss - people think I drink fruit juice I will lose weight. Only way that is happening is drinking a juice that is 70% green and 30% fruit and working out. You will gain weight drinking a fruit drink every day unless your calories are down and you are exercising a lot.

5. If you drink one $7 cold press that is made to order per day it's like $2500 for the year - that will buy you organic produce and a commercial grade juicer so going "convenience" is not the move for cold pressed juices

6. If you want the cheapest 100% cold pressed juices they can be found at 7/11 or sometimes Trader Joes - around $2-3 for a 16 oz

I agree with this. Masticating (or slow) juicers yield more juice, which can significantly reduce food costs, especially if you juice a lot. Also, with slow juicers the juice maintains its nutritional quality much longer (i.e. 2-3 days vs. 20 minutes). Lastly, it's more capable of juicing leafy greens & wheatgrass. The main drawbacks with the slow masticating juicers is that they take longer to clean (5 minutes), they cost more, and they have a small mouth/opening to feed vegetables & fruits into, so it takes more time to cut up and prep your food.

Centrifugal juicers like this one and the popular Breville models cost less, are easier to clean, and have a wider mouth/opening to put food in, so less time spent prepping the food. However you don't get the other benefits I mentioned above. Specifically, you get a lower juice yield, so food costs add up faster. Additionally, centrifugal juicers spin at a high RPM which produces more heat & friction and this destroys the enzymes in the juice as well as some other nutrients. They say if you use a centrifugal juicer, that you should drink the juice right away (within 20-30 minutes) because it loses its nutritional value faster (due to the lack of enzymes). Lastly, you can have challenges with things like wheatgrass or tougher leafy greens when using a centrifugal juicer.

so pros and cons to each. Truth be told, even though I own and prefer a masticating juicer (Omega brand) , I'd like to buy a centrifugal juicer one day. If I just wanted to make a quick glass of carrot/celery/apple juice, the centrifugal would probably be my go-to option (faster to juice and clean).
