Vitamix carrot juice is not the same as the carrot juice you'll get at
a juice bar. A regular juicer extracts the liquid and separates it
from the pulp. Carrots have allot of pulp. The drinks that you get at
the Vitamix demo at a fair are made with ice and banana which give the
drink body and disguises the pulp. Make sure that is what you want as
a good juicer can be had for a couple of hundred dollars. The Vitamix
is probably a little easier to clean. The juicers vary on that.
