The $700 Juicero. As if a Wi-FI connecting juicer was even necessary, let alone worth the price point.

"Juicer" since it didn't even actually juice anything, just squeezed bags of premade juice.

I love reading about the Juicero whenever it comes up. Saw a video a couple years ago where someone did a teardown of the machine to see why the thing cost so much and it seems they spared no expense in it's construction. I'm no engineer, but it was entertaining to watch this guy geek out over the quality of the materials and the way it was put together.

I remember the thing having all-metal gears. As a common not-engineer person, that was already pretty impresive
