@christinerenee I uh…was around when the cleaning was happening but maybe didn't exactly participate in the cleaning, so I can't say for certain. It did seem really messy, but then again we just "juiced" a cinnamon roll and a chocolate Santa, so…
@christinerenee You will prefer being disemboweled to even attempting to clean a juicer. You have 3 choices here: 1) kill yourself 2) throw the dirty thing away. 3) die a slow miserable death from the bacteria you inject that live in the putrified pulp inside the nooks and crannies of your disgustingly filthy juicer.
Honestly you're better off using a blender. The pulp is good for you. So unless you plan on adding the pulp back in, just throw it in a blender or something... Or you know... Eat it.
A couple of years ago I bought a Jack LaLanne juicer, the thing is a beast. I lost 45 pounds over 8-9 months by adding juices to my diet. Problem with juicers is they make a freakin mess. I'm not making bread with all that pulp, so you waste a lot of "food". This thing appears to really have to work to make juice, it's loud for no reason too. I say save your money and buy a Jack Lalanne Juicer or something with a bigger motor.
@Superjimtendo I have that one. Easy to clean and a good provider of composting material - well, that is if I composted. But hey, carrots and celery are cheap.
The problem with having a juicer is that you become one of those Juice People. You know, the people who can't shut up about juicing and are constantly trying to get you to drink stuff so putrid even Terrible Drinking wouldnt try it.
No Juice People, I will not join your cult. I'm a blender guy. Blenders make smoothies and milk shakes, and no one who buys one ever talks about it. I will not buy a juicer because I hate the beverage and the people who drink it. I wont rest until I rid the world of all the juice.
@Pantheist ya I'm not really mad just kinda confused, my comment was "cool so this totally useless" and I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere... I figured they had a decent sense of humor but meh... I guess not.
@Supertainment First? Did you look at yesterday's deal forum to see if it posted there? ;-) It seems to take a while for all the guts of a deal to light up when it goes live. Even longer than normal today. I was surprised mine made it so close to to the top.
Wow, 3 days in a row meh lists things I'm actually shopping for, as in I almost hit the one click button on woot-killers.
I'm just ashamed it took me this long to figure out the no-brainer act of buying VMP instead of shipping. Seriously why didn't I just buy VMP before buying that stupid helmet cam?
Tomorrow, can you sell a crayon sharpener? I'm not the sharpest in the box.
@march5th00 25 of these. Much easier target for rocks, but you will need to. create a few extra accounts here. Maybe stop at 24, so one account doesn't feel inadequate buying just 1.
I don't buy anything "Black & Decker" cause there stuff is totally inadequate for any job. I don't want their products even for free, cause it would cost me money to put them in the dump.
This is why I come here. You all remind me how ridiculous my intended actions are at 5 am and then I don't do them. Like buying a juicier I will never use after cursing the cleaning.
Just to note, if you really want the best it's not that leaky Tribest. Go with the Breville 800JEXL. If you're on a budget, go for the Breville JE98XL at half the price of it's big brother. Hell, even the reviews on Amazon tell stories of how consumers had to contact Tribest for new parts because they admitted they had problems with their product.
@cinoclav or if you're really on a budget and still like Breville, we're pretty happy with the baby Breville 200XL we won - about a hundred bucks, I think.
@RedOak You can find the JE98XL for around $100 at some places and the 200XL for less than $80. Definitely awesome deals for a great product. I bought the 200XL as a gift for the gf's sister a while back. She loves it more than her kids.
@cinoclav that might be the first time I've been on the Woot site in months! Accidentally clicked on the Woot link in the Meh email notification rather than the Meh link to this forum page.
I've got this juicer. Works great. Super easy to clean as you can just throw everything but the base into the dishwasher. The only thing that is a bit of a pain is that there isn't some kind of valve or cap to stop the flow of juice so when you are done it doesn't drip all over the place.

First.
That melon looked like it was already mostly juice before it went through the machine.
Only 15 bucks? Can I use it as a paint mixer?
@RedOak hahaha this is the reason I show up at 12am daily.
Do I need a juicer? No, I do not need a juicer.
@caseyapeterson you bought two, didn't you? :-P
What? Why?
@msujp
"So here's the best juicer we could find for fifteen bucks" lmao great write up.
also, "do i need a juicer? no." Do I definitely NOT need a juicer? also no. Probably gonna bite.
Juicers need to be cheap enough to be disposable. It's a bitch cleaning the fuckin' things.
That is one heck of a cheap juicer. Anybody know how hard it is to clean?
@christinerenee It's a juicer, so hard.
@christinerenee I uh…was around when the cleaning was happening but maybe didn't exactly participate in the cleaning, so I can't say for certain. It did seem really messy, but then again we just "juiced" a cinnamon roll and a chocolate Santa, so…
@christinerenee That blade comes out and is a nightmare to get all the particulates out of it. Otherwise it does fine making juice.
@JonT Whoever gets that demo unit in a Fuko (wouldn't be a Fuku, right?) will find out how easy it was to clean.
@christinerenee You will prefer being disemboweled to even attempting to clean a juicer. You have 3 choices here: 1) kill yourself 2) throw the dirty thing away. 3) die a slow miserable death from the bacteria you inject that live in the putrified pulp inside the nooks and crannies of your disgustingly filthy juicer.
@cblack cancelled my order because i refuse to pay $15 for something that will make me work
@naterd00d I would say it's easier to clean a juicer than to make juice without one. So really it comes down to how much you want fresh juice.
Honestly you're better off using a blender. The pulp is good for you. So unless you plan on adding the pulp back in, just throw it in a blender or something... Or you know... Eat it.
@Nexar That's a good point. Fiber is good.
@Nexar I just toss a tablespoon of Metamucil into my nice pulp-free juice.
@Nexar agree.. I bought a nice juicer and used it a whole 2 times. Couldn't stand the waste
@Nexar Pulp can move, baby!
@username now that is a good pun
I'd rather have 400 whys than 400 whats....
@eeterrific is whys beyond his years
@eeterrific i get 400 "where's..." because nobody can find the damned parts after they clean the damned juicer

@somf69 give it up everyone for Jack Lalanne Jr.!
@Superjimtendo I have that one. Easy to clean and a good provider of composting material - well, that is if I composted. But hey, carrots and celery are cheap.
Perfect for a juice cleanse... just add rum.
I was going to buy one but my wife intervened juiced in time.
@WardF
@WardF you really beet that pun to a pulp.
@WardF These puns have certainly lost their a-peel with their mediocrity so pulpable.
@gyozilla Pearhaps so, but no matter how appleing these pun threads get, any continuation should be celerybrated.
@narfcake Maybe if we had some canned laughter. Hurts my peelings that we ran out of juice so quickly. I'm simply unable to concentrate.
@snapster Just don't turnip the laugh tracks too much. Olive the humor should be natural too.
(And on a different and more important side note, where are the eggplant AA shirts?!)
To each their own, etc
But I could not stand the waste the juicer created.. Hard to find second use to most pulp, unless you have farm animals
@Thumperchick
@JonT oh I love Uptown Funk - I can't believe these guys stole it from Bruno Mars!
@Superjimtendo I know what you're trying to do.
@JonT Just shake it off.
@Thumperchick
@Thumperchick What movie is that? I know it, but can't.....
@JonT DON'T EVER SAY AN UNKIND WORD ABOUT THE TIME!!!
@Pamtha Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
@CraigDanger WHAT TIME IS IT? CEEEEE...OH OHOOO..ELLLLL

@Superjimtendo Please start with major league baseball.
@Superjimtendo You must watch the comedian John Pinnette on juicing.
I've got an ancient Acme Juicerator which could probably process the pulp this one leaves behind, and still produce more juice. So, MEH.
Gotta love your comment is deleted for no possible reason other than you being first to post...
@Supertainment are you sure? That seems unlikely for meh
@Supertainment You are first on the "vegetable-juices-are" . thread!
@Pantheist ya I'm not really mad just kinda confused, my comment was "cool so this totally useless" and I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere... I figured they had a decent sense of humor but meh... I guess not.

My Omega J8006 works just fine
Meh is just eating my money this week.
crumby-wounded-commander
I wanted to see the cinnamon roll juice :(
One tribest or 25 of these? For the same price I can't decide. Which is better for throwing rocks at?
@march5th00 25 of these. Much easier target for rocks, but you will need to. create a few extra accounts here. Maybe stop at 24, so one account doesn't feel inadequate buying just 1.

Meh, I'll stick w/my Norwalk Juicer, unless this doubles as a screwdriver.
@Felyne Only if you simultaneously juice some oranges and some vodkaberries.
Will this extract the juice from the tire iron in the trunk of my car?
@irishbyblood just meat juice
Just to note, if you really want the best it's not that leaky Tribest. Go with the Breville 800JEXL. If you're on a budget, go for the Breville JE98XL at half the price of it's big brother.

@RedOak or I can buy this for 15 bucks to replace the citrus juicer I bought at rite-aid (also for 15 dollars)
@Pantheist by all means, of course you should buy this B&D juicer if you don't see the value in the Brevilles!
@cinoclav while we certainly like our Breville, we are no where near loving it more than our kids! (At least on most days.) ;-)
@RedOak Your kids are obviously nicer than hers. Btw, woot decided to throw this one up there today. How ironic. http://sellout.woot.com/offers/breville-the-juice-fountain-multi-speed-28?ref=cnt_dly_img
@cinoclav that might be the first time I've been on the Woot site in months! Accidentally clicked on the Woot link in the Meh email notification rather than the Meh link to this forum page.
@RedOak I wouldn't have known about it but I get the daily email simply for Mortimer and Monte. They're still the best part of woot.

I got one...now what?
@sarahtarah Now start juicing! And by that I mean take steroids.

Did you say Juice???!!
@donkeynuts
I can't believe this isn't sold out yet, and those stupid crap bags sell out in seconds.
@sarahtarah It's much easier to clean the Fuku (or Fuko) bags.
@cinoclav still can't believe it.
@sarahtarah Honestly, those stupid bags have yielded way more value than the $5 cost would infer. See: https://meh.com/forum/topics/my-other-fuku-shipment--or--why-the-fedex-guy-now-hates-me
