Hi,
Thanks for tagging me

I use a powerful blender (vitamix) rather than a juicer, because it leaves you with all the fibre - which slows down the absorption, and therefore the BG rise. So I can only really talk about blenders...
First thing is to consider your budget, and the space you have available.
My vitamix was, without doubt, the best kitchen purchase I have ever made. Guaranteed for 7 years. Blasts ice to snow. Makes icecream in 15 secs and hot soup in 7 mins.
But it cost more than my first (second hand) car, and I saved for months before buying.
It takes up the same space as an A4 sheet of paper and is just tall enough to annoy me when I open a top kitchen cupboard.
There's another, similar brand called the Blendtec, but I've never used it. It is supposed to be just a fraction shorter -enough to open your top cupboard without having to take the jug off the base (cos that gets old fast!)
There are lots of other, cheaper brands, but you need something powerful enough to pulverise the food and give a really smooth result.
The next best ones I keep hearing about are the Nutri Bullet and the Ninja. I think they have a smaller footprint and come with powerful motors, drinking cups, and they are much cheaper (under £100).
If my vitamix died, and I was out of warranty, I would buy the Nutribullet, I think.
Hope that helps
