The Champion juicer.

http://www.championjuicer.com/

Also good for making nut butters.

I have one which I bought for a good
price on eBay. Many are offered on eBay,
but many buyers are seeking them, so
prices are fairly strong.

The flour grinding attachment is not
highly regarded. The meat grinder
attachment is no longer made, but
available on eBay. Because it lacks
a reduction gear, I would guess that
the meat grinder attachment would also
be a piece of junk.

Not suitable for making the current fad
of wheat grass juice. For that, you
need a twin-screw juicer.

I use it. I like it a lot. It's extremely powerful and it's easy to
periodically dispose of the pulp without having to open stuff up etc etc -
you just lift the trap, tap it out and put it back. Scarcely miss a beat.

Easy to clean, too.

I have the meat grinder, too, plus the pasta maker and sausage maker. The
pasta thing I don't like at all and have gone back to my old hand-turned
thingo.

The sausage maker? You should have been here the day I tried to make
chicken sausages on my own. There was stuff going in all directions. Ended
up having chicken patties and I've been too scared to fit the thing up ever
since.

I'd call those extruders rather than juicers. I can't stand juice
made by squishing peel to extract juice. It's not clear and it
doesn't taste like *fresh* juice. It's only slightly better than made
from concentrate... not enough that I notice or care. Give me a blind
taste test and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
