**Juicer Summary of our (raw list) Comments**Vitamix?

[Guest guest]

I read your summary with great interest as I am just about to buy a

juicer. I was leaning towards a Vitamix but I see your summary says

everyone loves the champion. Any opinion on champion vs vitamix.

Also does anyone know if the vitamix is good for wheatgrass?

Many thanks,SHeri

outstanding questions to the group will follow. Thanks to all.

Hi, Sheri, the Vitamix is a blender (very powerful, hi-speed), but it is not a

juicer. The Champion and The Vitamix are two very different appliances. I have

and use both.

 

Peace,

Valerie

the vitamix isn't a juicer, it is a blender

 

juicers extract juice from the item and spit out the pulp

 

it would do nothing with wheat grass except make pulp that would not be

drinkable
