I've got an Omega juicer (about $150) that extracts more juice than the champion juicer, but the champion juicer can do great things. You can feed in whole frozen strawbs and bananas and out the other end comes icecream that you'll swear has sugar and cream in it - worth it for this aspect alone. There's a lot you can do with a champion. AND I got an almost new one at a garage sale for $50.00 and I've seen them listed in the classifieds occasionally. Just look around. Only drawback is...it is very heavy and takes up counter space.
