cmaiko says "I love this thing!" about Vitamix Blender - 5000 Variable Speed

Except for the price--it's perfect!

Liquifies grasses and greens so none of the nutrients are left out,

rinses clean. Great options for juices, no need to take vitamins anymore! Great for vegan, raw foods, restricted diets, etc.

cmaiko says "If you want a mess to clean up..." about Salton Jr. Juiceman 186 Watts Juicer

My mother owns this machine, and actually passed an older one down to me--which I burned up by making carrot/beet juice...

I have since spent $200 on a champion juicer--and I love it! It is worth every penny, comes apart easily and quickly wipes/rinses clean. It handles tough veggies and my only complaint is that I cannot "juice" wheatgrass very easily in it, but the wheatgrass can be thrown into a blender with fresh juice and used.

Champion Juicer ***** 5 stars

This Juicer **1/2 2 1/2 stars

Chose what fits your buget--but I'd hate to see you buy two cheap juicers before you finally try one that will never need replacing!

cmaiko says "Actually Comfortable!" about Yoga Balance and Exercise Ball

I have a balance ball that came as part of a "chair". It makes great extra seating when the kids aren't using it as a toy... Actually is quite comfortable to sit on if you keep it properly inflated--great for my low back pain....

Hey, a friend of mine actually owns one of these things, and she swears it works for her! I have never actually tried it personally.
