Does anyone use this electric juicer for daily wheatgrass?

Which model? Miracle makes a lot of different ones, some are great, some are not so.

sorry, don't do wheatgrass, but you can make great wheatgrass juice in any blender, just add some wheat grass, some water, and some lemon with the peel, blend away, then straing through a nut milk bag, it is delicious, won't make you gag like regular wheat grass, and you don't have to purchase a special machine just for that one small task, learned this form Victoria Boutenko's class

MiracleExclusives Model MJ-550 - Intended for home use. Our best selling juicer. "This is a fine wheatgrass juicer that does the job". - Rich Rommer. 90 RPM motor. Plastic housing, stainless steel screens. One year warranty. Very efficient. Pulp comes out dry.
Weighs 6.5 lbs.................$122.95

RP- I've tried the VitaMix method and it just isn't the same. I have a manual juicer, but now I am ready for an electric model. I have a great juicer, but it won't juice wheatgrass.

Nini, yes you are right the Vita Mix method is not the same as regular wheatgrass, but alot of people can't do wheatgrass, sounds like you can, so that is GREAT!!!

I'm sure you'll get some good information about the one you are asking about.

[I]MiracleExclusives Model MJ-550

I have not used that particular model myself. I've always found the reviews at www.discountjuicers.com to be pretty reliable, and though they sell this model, they say they do not recommend it. They say it is very lightweight, flimsy, can only be run for 10 minutes at a time, and has only a 1 year warranty. If you need to stay in that general price range, take a look at the Healthy Juicer, which both Discount Juicers and wheatgrass guru Pam Free at www.growweheatgrass.com both rate pretty well for wheatgrass (though not for other things) and which is about $180. Discount Juicers comments are extensive on this one.

Or, as has been mentioned in other threads, if you can afford a little more, around the $240 range, the Omega 8003 & 8005 (3 is white, 5 is chrome) is excellent and will do multi duty, juicing wheatgrass and other greens well, plus fruit and veggies, and also grind nuts, etc.
