I dont agree, u can make good vegetable juice with a kicthen juice machine,
but it takes a great effort, there is a lot of preparation, waste and
cleaning to do. Hard work I'll say.

I bougth a magic bullet blender instead and love it, to prepare smoothies.
Usually 3 pieces of fruits go in a cup, then u can mix with cubed ice and
juice to make it as thin as u'd like and colder. I usually press som oranges
and lemons on a "lemon presser", a cheap plastic thing, which is easy and
fast, but this will make it more sour than with the juice u can buy. I use,
apples, melon, bananas, kiwi, pineapple, pears etc. it tastes great, and is
quite fast and easy to make. It comes out smooth and u get no fibers in it.
I have not experimented with carrots and beets, but maybe I will now.
Enjoy........
