I'm just at this moment researching these blender-type juicers. I have an Omega juicer, but find that the cleanup is just too cumbersome for the amount of juice you get. And, if you believe the premise that you want to drink freshly juiced fruits and veggies for the most nutrients, it has becokme clear that I'm not going to take the time to clean up several times a day.
So, I've been looking at the emulsifier-type
"I use the HP3Champ juicer. It costs $400. It is 3 horsepower, more powerful then the Vita-mix. It will pulverize even an avocado pit, which you can eat."
So, I went to the BlendTec site, and I'd love to hear from people who are more knowledgeable than I am about this.
The VitaMix shows 52 different things the VitaMix can do, including chopping and pulverizing pineapple cores and such, and making ice cream and making hot soups. The BlendTec has far fewer videos, and doesn't seem to show the same range. I mean, I'd expect just about any blender to make baby food and pancake mix and fondue. If it can pulverize and avocado pit, and therefore I assume also an apricot pit, why don't they do a demo showing that?
The VitaMix also has a separate dry container for doing grains and things. Why doesn't the BlendTec?
The VitaMix has a DVD, which, as a complete novice, I was really looking forward to. None for BlendTec?
I'll hold off on my purchase until I hear from others here who are more knowledgeable.

I use the HP3Champ juicer. It costs $400. It is 3 horsepower, more powerful then the Vita-mix. It will pulverize even an avocado pit, which you can eat. I have a Champion juicer at home, as well as a Miracle wheatgrass juicer. I lug my Greenpower juicer (costs $700 back in the mid-90's) around with me to my clients so I can juice at work (but now I am lugging the HP3 because of my swallowing problem.

What kind of juicer do you use that will do these leafy greens?
