I know they've been around a while but there seems to have been a rise in media mentions recently and my dear wife has wondered about getting one. They don't seem particularly cheap though.
Did a bit of Googling and as far as I can see there are three ways a juicer can juice, centrifuge, masticating and some sort of pressure way. A juicer seems to separate the pulp from the liquid but what I have yet to find is why do I need to remove the pulp? If I eat a carrot I eat a carrot, if I drink a carrot I only get about 70% of it, isn't the pulp good for me as well? What do you juicers do with the pulp, throw it away, compost it or use it in soups?
We already have a Kenwood Chef food mixer with various attachments like a liquidiser as well as a food processor and a couple of those stick blenders, do we need another appliance?
