Harrison,
You're clearly ahead of me in the juicing learning curve
I'll keep these tips in mind when I start. After my fusion I did start researching different juicers but I read so many differing reviews that I felt it was too hard to decide what to buy. Good pulp extraction and easy to clean up were my initial criteria but then as you point out you can really get technical with all the components and honestly I would have no way of truly knowing what is best. I am hoping to find something that is long lasting, easy to clean, with good pulp/mineral extraction for under $250.
I hope others post their experiences.
