The Champion Juicer would probably be the best one but they will last 30 years and are expensive.
Champion Juicer Shop - The Champion Juicer Shop (http://www.championjuicer.com.au/)

The modern high speed jobbies are said to have an effect on the quality of the juice due to static electricity.
I am no expert but did some study on it years ago and this is the conclusion that I arrived at

Yep, SIL has her mothers old one ATM (as hubby was very ill with Crohn's) and it's still going great, at a guess it's well over 30 years old.

I'd love a screw type like the Champion, but we have a Breville like JC's and it's been very good :D

My goodness it must be genetic, then!:p :D

That last post of yours about crosstown ride on mowers and emergency department visits seems like a 'chip off the old block' !

Hope the young'n is doing well now?

Cheapest option would be to just eat the fruit... Healthier too...

Hi, champion/green power or Oscar, expensive but the best. Remember slow juice is the best juice...I.e high speed juicers cause heat, and heat damages the enzymes in the juice. A test is juice and apple with a high speed and it will start going brown quickly " oxidising "
Use a green power or the like, and it will last hrs before it colours..the idea of juice over the whole fruit is pretty much direct absorbstion, little digestion which makes it ideal for people that are ill or as in my reason for juicing, parents that died of cancer ...the juice helps a lot ..I spent hrs and hrs researching for my folks so if I can help more just ask ...Gary

Gary is totally correct, much better to use a slow juicer, as they do not heat the juice. Also look on eBay for them, there are some good deals to be had.

Hey we just shut our eyes and opened our wallet and got an Angel juicer.....It was $1200 holy cow but....for a cup of juice it spits out about a quarter of a cup of dry pithy stuff I reckon it uses about half as much fruit as the breville we had and its almost silent. I`m having a great time seeing what it can handle, so far carrots, pumpkin seeds, pomegranites (whole!) apples beetroot celery chokos silverbeet soaked almonds it doesn`t even notice. I`m thinking of a series 3 angel engine conversion.
And its shiny.
