What would be the next best juicer that works like the
VitaMix in that it grinds everything up that is
affordable?

The one thing I would promote is to shop garage sales and estate sales.
It was a stroke of luck for me, granted, but I got a model 3600 at a
garages sale for only $1. But if you are willing to put the time in on
weekends and are patient, they do show about on occasion. Craigs List
is another possibility. Or try your local call in radio buy/sell shows
(in StL, that would be the KTRS Garage Sale on Saturdays from 7-9:00
a.m.).

And you, I read that you had a tuneup and are in good health. What a
project. There is so much written about overall (heart) health and teeth,
that I am glad you accomplished your goal. Whatta decision!

Best of health, Wayne.

Thanks, Dee Dee! This was one of the best decisions I've ever had to make,
albeit at least a year later than I'd hoped because I had to wait for an
insurance change. My procedure was done a week ago this past Monday, and
healing is almost complete. No pain, and I actually do feel better all
over.

Thanks again!

Well with Vitamix you get what you pay, they are expensive but any
cheaper blender will not do the work.

Try to look for a used blender or a special sale in a restaurant
supply store, I bought two Vitamix brand new for $ 150 each; If that
is what are you willing to pay.

There are cheaper commercial blenders, but check their features.

<sigh>

Yeah pretty much that is what I figured

I don't want a traditional juicer that separates the
pulp from the juice...instead I want something strong
enough to grind everything up including seeds, etc

Depending on your time, health & patience:

I bought a sausage-type grinder to grind wheat-grass - that's tough
grinding - I don't know how seeds would do in that sort of contraption.
I've heard that apple seeds are not too good for one -- I can't remember the
particulars.
