There is a wide price range, so you do not have to spend hundreds on your first juicer. Start small and see how it works for you. Then, if you become a home made juice fan, you can up grade. When you consider the health benefits involved, it is more than worth the effort. The prices listed are the most reasonable around, but always keep your eyes out for sales.
