A high powered blender such as a Vitamix makes a great alternative to owning a juicer. There is no setting up (and laborious cleaning) of the juicer, the final product contains more nutritious fiber (a juicer strains out most of the fibrous pulp from the fruits and vegetables during the juicing process) and less waste (no extracted pulp to discard). And you don't have to find a spot in your kitchen to store another bulky piece of kitchen equipment!
