Liza:
Actually, it does not perform well at all with the fibrous,
stringy veggies like celery or wheat grass. The fibers get
wrapped around the rotating blade mechanism, and overburden
(and overheat) the motor, and you have to stop the machine
and untangle the strings in order to continue. I
personally wouldn't recommend this juicer for wheat grass.


>> HOW MUCH SHOULD I PAY?

>> $600 to $700."


In this area (Washington DC / Baltimore / Virginia) a
Champion costs $200 at the very highest, and can be found in
many places for $180. I'd be glad to help a listmember
purchase one from this area, if that would make sense. The
Acme can be found here for $150.

Love Liza
