In an attempt to increase my caloric intake, I went out and bought some Naked smoothies. Then (after I bought them, of course) I saw online that Naked is owned by Pepsi and they use GMO produce even thought it says on the bottle that they don't. WTF? Anyway, it's made me want to get a juicer, but I know they are so expensive! Was yours expensive? Do you love it? Is it easy to use? Where should I look for one to get a good deal?

I have this one: http://www.brevilleusa.com/juice-fountain-compact-967.html
It was about $100.
It's easy to use and works great, but the mesh pulp catcher is so hard to clean.
Honestly I rarely use it because I hate cleaning it.
It's a great juicer though and I think cleaning would be an issue with any of them. -
Use a 20% off at Bed, Bath, and beyond! We have the Jack lalanne one we were randomly gifted and it has been going strong for 3+ years. We go through spurts of using it, but we love it!

ETA: ours we just use the scrubby side of a sponge to scrub off the pulp on the mesh screen, then throw it in the dishwasher. We actual pulp catcher (in the back) we line with a plastic produce bad from the grocery store (fits perfectly!) to save from washing it every time! There are a lot of parts to wash but on ours they are all dishwasher safe.

@Emsmems: we don't have a dishwasher! I know, crazy.

I just use a blender and not an expensive one. I think you have to blend it longer than you would a juicer if you like it smooth. I don't mind that. I would love a juicer some day though.

We have a fancy shmancy breville...
Its amazing bit also a PITA to clean sine DH won't "allow" me to put it in the dishwasher -
I have a Jack LaLanne that was gifted to me. I think they sell them at costco for about $100. I really like it. It juices well and isn't so hard to clean. I just take it apart immediately after juicing and rinse it down. I use soap maybe every 3-4 time. If you use it regularly it saves you money, because buying fresh juices is expensive!

@JessKas: Mmm, yes, saves money and is delicious! Freshly juiced orange juice is THE BEST!!!
