Have you heard of the VitaMixer? What do you think about it?

The vitamixer is a great blender. I feel it makes a poor juicer, here is why: It combines the fiber and the juice. The juicers we sell separate the fiber from the juice. The purpose of juicing is to separate the juice from the fiber so the body can more easily and better digest (quickly) the nutrients in the juice. Fiber slows down the whole digestion process and requires energy from the body (have you ever felt tired after eating a thanksgiving meal?). When drinking juice (with no fiber) your body can absorb the nutrients quickly - within 30 minutes). Fiber is important in a diet, and should be eaten at a different time. Please feel free to check out a few articles on juicing and selecting a juicer if it should interest you.
