Anyone able to recommend a good juicer that I do not have to pay 1000 dollars for? Or even 200?

Or is juicing just a complete and idiotic waste of time.

I almost never eat vegetables, and feel I should do something. (eating them is obviously not the answer.)

Or are vegetables just a waste of time?

YES juicing good.

No brand specific advice but don't get the noisey, high speed juicer - get one that looks more like a mincer.
I have noisey fast spinning type and have been told by 'juicer nerds' that the other mincer style are easier to clean, produce less waste and make better juice (lasts longer and less oxidised because it isn't flailed around so fast... so i'm told). The noisey ones aren't much fun early in the morning - they should come with earplugs.
Sorry I can't be more help.

Had a Juiceman and it worked decently well. Was very loud and a pain to clean though.

Planning on getting a Vitamix or Blentec next rather than a single use juicer since there is so much more you can do with a good blender.

After looking at some reviews I picked up a Champion Commercial Juicer.

Cost me 200 darn dollars.

However, word in the juicing world seems to be that these things last forever and do everything you need to do as well as ones that cost twice as much.

Today I juiced some apples, carrots, and some papaya. I hate papaya, but a co worker gave me a half of one so it seemed a shame to waste it.

Good stuff. I was happy with the results. The pulp was pretty dry, which supposedly means you are getting some good juice.

Tomorrow I am throwing in some green apples, watermelon, kiwi, and brocolli.

Clean up was quite easy. Took me five minutes.

A few tips:

Go easy on the carrots.

Try beets, dandelion greens, garlic, and ginger. When I use mine, I put a slice of ginger with almost everything.
