My contention is that you end up saving money because you need less produce to get more juice.
Exactly. I've kicked around the idea of getting it anyway, lots of great reviews about it. Even at the inflated price the health benefits are tremendous. I've been drinking a lot of green smoothies made in a blender and this is the best I've felt in 15 years, but some things just don't blend well, thus the want for a quality juicer.

Having one shipped it gets flagged with import tax which tacks on 30% or so to it, plus whatever the crooks at customs want to tack on. Unless someone carries it in via their own luggage, it will prob even out if I just buy it at the store. Anything local is dirt cheap. However, anything foreign made is usually crazy expensive.

Thanks for the info.
