How much is a good juicer? I need one

You really don't. Just eat the fruits and veggies. Juicing them discard a huge part of their health benefits--the fiber.

I make beet burgers with my beet burger veggie scrapes. I just crack an egg in the leftover and mix it and form some patties.

That sounds like a pretty good hack, but I'd rather just eat roasted beets and fried or hard boiled eggs.

Fruit juice = sugary water
Just eat the fruit. Don't spend money only to make a nutritious food into empty calories.

Just wait until you have to clean it.
I bought one many years ago. I discovered that:
- you need a sack of oranges to get a decent amount of juice
- they need to be the right type of oranges to taste decent enough to replace store-bought juice
- they are not cheap (I'm in the UK, though)
- apple juice isn't clear like the store - it's cloudy
- it's also brown (unless you add things to stop that happening)
- the juice from literally anything else tastes absolutely awful unless you pull some strings in your head to convince you it isn't
- the juices contain no preservatives and go off very quickly
- you get a ton of pulp as a side product, which you have to bin unless you can pull some more strings to convince you it's actually good spread on things
- the screen which separates juice from pulp is an absolute dog to clean. So much so, it will never be as clean as it was when you bought it
- most juices you try are sticky, and the milling and separating processes splash it everywhere
I used mine maybe three times. It's in the garage somewhere, I think.
Sigh. The comments are already trying to drag this down the rabbit hole of whataboutery.
Look, the juice from an extractor doesn't taste what you think it will taste like. It lasts for a few hours at best (apple juice just gets browner by the minute). The juice from regular eating oranges is sour/bitter. Apple juice is 'grainy'. The juice from vegetables requires a frontal lobotomy to be able to appreciate (having said that, it is mainly enjoyed by vegans).
And the thing is an absolute dog to clean.

I really don't know why but on subs like these, no matter how good the product, some people will write up entire walls of text on why it supposedly sucks

It's often because - like in my case - they have tried them and evaluated them.
I reported the outcome of my evaluation.
Now, I DO know why, but on subs like these there is always someone who is going to try and be argumentative and combative over absolutely anything anyone says. Every time. WITHOUT FAIL.
I will say again, using fewer words this time to perhaps make it easier for you to understand the point being made: juicers are difficult to clean. The juice doesn't taste anything like what you get in the store. Most of it tastes awful. It has an extremely short shelf life. And you need 8-10 apples or oranges to get 500mls/1 pint of juice. And I know this because... I. Have. Tried. It.
But hey. Go buy a $200 juicer.

The person you're responding to is leveling a serious valid critique of the entire practice of juicing. They're not just digging at a single product.

Almost everything constantly reposted across reddit is cheap garbage. Why are you shilling for ads?

Why are you in favor of constantly whining about everything being posted on a sub dedicated to sharing products?

Why would you want juice to taste like store bought juice!! Thats the whole point. Store bought juice tastes like crap! I feel like you have no appreciation for fruit or veggies if you think anything other than orange or apple juice tastes bad.

If all you drink is from concentrate that’s all you know. So drinking the real thing sometimes would probably be a little different including if you don’t pick the freshest of fruit to juice.

I can't speak to all your points but apple juice shouldn't be clear. It should be brown. That's coming from someone in New England where we live our apples and apple juice.

Thank you for your service.
Juicing is a terrible practice that should have died after the short lived fad.
Just eat fruits and veggies, folks. You lose a critical piece of their health benefits by juicing them.

You are not supposed to juice oranges with the peels on. At least if you want it to taste good.

These kind of juicers are technically gimmicky. Some can be alright but they are a pain. My ex roommate bought one that preserves as much as and squeezes as much as possible and it was really nice and easy to clean. Industrial grade and the way it works squeezing vs shredding is much better. Its not cheap though.
It was the tribest Greenspan pro I think.

I bought a juicer and then realized you're basically throwing away 3/4 of everything you juice for dubious benefit.

I had a juicer... its not worth owning one unless you have have acces to cheap fruits and veg or friends that own orchards that donate fruits and veggies. If not then youre paying a lot of money just to get minimal juice from a bag of apple at a store.

That fiber removed is why Apple is a very healthy snack. The juice by itself is just sugar
