Great – We Need A New Juicer
So we need a new juicer. And (so I’m told) a few other new small kitchen appliances. Great. That’s more money we’ve got to pull from somewhere just to satisfy the families need to fill up all the available spaces – not just in our rather large kitchen but also throughout the entire house. We’ve just moved … into what was one of several repossessed houses that we looked at prior to buying this particular one. Horrible but true – someone else’s misfortune has become our good fortune.
Still, we can’t change ‘what is’ and looking at the way in which we’re spending money on updating our new home in general, not to mention soft furnishings and so on, we’re going to be lucky not to find ourselves foreclosed six months down the line! Joking apart, we do need a new juicer and a replacement Kitchenaid mixer, simply because ours have more than done their duty and it’s time they were retired. In fact … they’ve been retired!
We had our mixer for some 12 years, and the juicer has lasted 4. Not quite as long as our trusty stand mixer but the juicer has seen daily action almost since the day we bought it. Ours was a Breville ‘Juice Fountain’ model and it was certainly worth the initial outlay. We’re all big fans of good food and healthy lifestyles (in our house) and we all have our favorite juicer-concoctions.
Mine happens to be one of the usual suspects – banana and strawberry but the rest of my family are a bit more ambitious. Some of the stuff that’s been put through the Breville has probably shortened its lifespan just a little. Now we’re looking for something even more substantial, maybe one of the Omega models. Basically we need one that will cope with both fruit and vegetables (sometimes both in the same blend) so we’re looking to buy single gear ‘masticating’ juicer this time around.
We’re probably going to head out this weekend and pick up both the juicer and the Kitchenaid, and all being well that should cover the small kitchen appliances ‘hole’ we seem to have in the kitchen right now. I’m also hoping that we stumble on some kind of deal, as we’re looking at parting with something like $700 for the pair. Right now I’m going back to checking out consumer reviews and hunting down some coupons that we can use in order to reduce the big bucks prices we’d otherwise be paying!
