Firstly, I can't believe I didn't get one of these sooner. The amount of money I've been spending on cold pressed juices all these years when I could have been making them at home and have triple the amount of juice for the same amount of money! My mind is blown and I will never not have one of these in my kitchen.
I had heard good things about the Breville Elite Juicer and so that's the one he ended up going with! It runs at about $230 and I think it's pretty amazing for it's price point. So far I have zero complaints, it does exactly what I want it to do.
A lot of you asked about the clean up, yes it's messy but it honestly takes ten minutes to clean and to me it's completely worth it. It dissembles quite easily and with a little soapy water, you are good to go. I also recommend using a bag in the pulp container for a quicker clean up.
