I've sold Juiceman Juicers at Famous-Barr/Macy's. Those who got them
seem to like them, and they are still selling. I have an old Juice
Factory made by Sweda. Got it for 50 cents at a garage sale back in the
90's. I use it when I need a vegatable broth for soups and sauces (the
canned $#!+ is way too salty, I hate excessive salt).

Having looked at the newer Juiceman line, the engineering is similar to
mine, but it has better seals so juices can't leak out. Mine has one
spot where I tend to lose about 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons of juice for 2
cups produced, but for the price I paid, I ain't complaining, I just
keep the dishcloth on standby.

Finding them used like I did is hit more miss, more miss. I usually
only see one, maybe 2 per year. A quick st. louis craigslist search
found a Juiceman for $25, and others ranging from $20 to $70. On ePay,
I found a Hamilton Beach for $10 plus $10 shipping, but with 22 minutes
left on it, I am guessing it will be gone by the time you read this.

Now if you are talking citrus juicers, I have a table top model that
turns on automoatically as soon as you press a lemon half on it, and the
juice falls into a pitcher very conveniently. Great for making a fast
pitcher of limeade or lemonade, and the parts are dishwasher safe.
These come up at the thrifts often enough for under $10 each, and if you
juice lemons, limes, oranges or similar in quantity with any regualrity,
I recommend these whole heartedly.
