looking for some suggestions for a juicer. i really want to buy a fruit/vegetable juicer. something that can handle carrots, beets, oranges, etc. i know from friends that some machines break down really quickly but i am having trouble navigating online reviews. any suggestions would be super appreciated!

After the juice

The juice comes out of the juice-extractor, and left behind in the machine is dryish fruit and/or vegetable pulp. Does anyone cook with this pulp? Does anyone have any ideas for cooking with it? It just seems to me it is a shame to chuck it away. I guess it retains some nutritional value. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Ideas to cut the bitter taste of orange rinds

I LOVE my new juicer but the oranges betray me. I just bought a Breville Compact Juicer and I luuuurve it. There is truly nothing more joyous than pulverizing fruit first thing in the morning. But my dilemma is with the oranges - a staple of morning smoothies, I'm sure you'd agree - and specifically the rinds, which are insanely bitter. Obviously I could peel them before juicing but that kind of defeats the ease of the juicer in the first place. What I'm wondering is if there are any food and cooking able people out there that may know a tasty way to balance the bitterness of the orange rinds. Sugar? Yogurt? Bananas? Not much seems to be cutting it. Thanks!

I just got a juicer. Now what should I put in it? What kinds of concoctions do you like to make with your juicer? Do you have any favorite juicing recipes?

Will my juicer poison me?

What's the likelihood that my new juicer has lead in it? I bought this juicer, and I'm somewhat concerned it might have lead in it. It's made in China and has a bright orange coat of enamel paint. Any way of knowing if it's lead-based? Can I get a "probably not"?

what juicer is for me

recommend a juicer Mainly I want a citrus juicer, but I would look at fancier juice extractor that has a citrus attachment. I currently have a very simple citrus juicer, but it creates very pulpy juice that I need to run through a strainer. So main thing I want is a juicer that lets me control the pulp. Other than that, looking for durability, ease of clean up, and value. Durability is important as I make a lot of juice. Price range 100-200.

Juicer Recommendations

Any recommendations for a good Juicer? Durability, efficiency, and ease of cleaning are especially desired features, but I'd like to keep the cost under $100 if possible, or in that neighborhood if not.

My very organic wife wants a juicer for Christmas - She likes the style, but it seems quite expensive. Any suggestions? - Also I am in Australia, so if possible, someone who ships international and supplies a 240 volt version
