Oh well, I've seen worst posts to resurrect. I kinda felt like saying
that at the time this was posted I had bought a $30 juicer that I still
have today. The "micro-shredder" part in particular requires some
tedious & meticulous cleaning so I don't use it much anymore except when
I *must* have a screaming-fresh glass of carrot juice. (Most of the
bottled stuff I've bought in stores is at least slightly gross, except
where processed on-site; but then is still several times the cost of the
actual ingreds. Plus at home I can still use the fibrous pulp in some
other tasty dish.)

compared to an "energy drink" or many of the
other beverages something juiced at least had
a connection to a plant.

but yeah, i agree with you that the cleaning
is often more tedious.

have you ever frozen carrot juice right after
it was made?


We can't ask the OP what-all they wanted to extract juice from, but when
it comes to grasses, only a wringing extractor will really work AFAIK
(but then I don't know much). The meat grinder attachment on my HD
Kitchenaid mixer works well for the purpose. I had to laugh to myself
seeing what some people charge for some medium-quality, dedicated "grass
juice extractor" which works basically (if not exactly) the same as my
mixer's grinder attachment. And for about the same $ (if not less) they
could've bought themselves a superior-quality appliance serving many
purposes and, IMOE, for pretty much a lifetime. And buying grass juice,
even in a health food store? Just absolutely forget it -- unless they
wring it up to order, right smack in front of you.

Thanks for reading.

a hand-cranked meat grinder works well for many
tasks if you aren't doing a lot of it every day.
nearly indestructable, easy to maintain and not
too bad to clean up. the one we've been using was
my great-grandma's.
