That's because people are trying to sell something. The answers are so simple.

I use a vitamix which is a blender and not a juicer. I like it better cause I like to keep the fiber in.

Sorry, I hope you didn't call your local department store
"Hello, this is Bed Bath and Beyond"
"Hi, I'm looking for a Venus 2000"
"Sure, hold on while I check..........Sir, are you still there?"
"Yeah"
"I'm not seeing any Venus 2000 in our inventory, what is that?"
"It's supposed to be the best juicer on the market, recommended by men everywhere"
"Well, have you tried looking on our website? If it's not there, then I'm sorry that I can't help."
"In that case, what's the closest thing you sell to a Venus 2000? Maybe you can ask someone in your juicing department?"
"Sir, we have no juicing department"
"well FFUUUUUUUUU" *hangs up*

Here I am just looking for a nice recommendation on a juicer/blender, because apparently you can't trust those on store websites, and you want me to purchase a FOURTH Venus 2000.Sorry, I hope you didn't call your local department store

I bought a Blendtec a while ago(yes, the "Will it blend videos" got to me). It's a tank and I use that for all things like this and more. Never owned an actual juicer. As was said, keep the fibers.
Between Vitamix and Blendtec, you can't go wrong for a high end blender. But when you need to drop the price, the next best thing is the Breville Hemisphere for $200, then the Kitchenaid 5speed diamonds for $150. After that, you're stuck with mid-range Osters($60) that sometimes last forever but blending takes about 2-3x as long as the higher end(and cleanup takes longer too) and Black and Decker's that also work fairly well, but are in the same boat of being dependable with good models, but take longer to blend and clean.
Actual juicers are a joke IMO. If I ever met anyone that used juicers that lasted more than a year, then I don't remember, because nearly everyone I know breaks their juicer one way or another within 6-7 months. Even the high end stuff.

My friend has a blender where the container is a single serving shake sized glass. The blade screws onto the top and you flip it over onto the base. I don't know the brand, but its pretty damn nice and convenient.

You dipshits do realize that fruits and vegetables many times are incredibly LOW in calories right? You basically burn off an apple taking a shit.
Care to present any peer reviewed scientific research that supports "juicing" as opposed to I don't know..just eating a fucking apple like a normal person?

Your teeth. They are free and do the job of a juicer for zero cost.
Added bonus: Chewing food burns calories.(albeit a very small amount)

Im not into juicing at all, and know nothing on the subject. But from the few articles Ive read on fruits and vegetables, the authors all agree that its better to eat the items than to juice em. There is natural fiber in the item itself that you lose in juicing. Plus, eating the item itself fills you up. I dont know how a glass of juice can satisfy hunger, but eating 2 apples, 1 banana, 2 peaches etc would do a pretty good job IMO

It's all about being a civil human being. People have a hard time being talked down to by people they can't physically look up to.

I think the attraction is in how easy it is to gulp down a drink compared with biting, chewing and eating the 6/8/10 different fruits and veggies that might be in the meal.
Side note - an apple has about a hundred calories, which a person of average size will burn by running a mile.
