It's not ~healthy~ or ~connected to the Internet~
[QUOTE=TheRealFierce;52133337]I actually recognize that design. This is a juicer made by somewhat renowned French designer Philippe Starck, you can actually still buy these. [url]https://www.amazon.com/Alessi-PSJS-Juicy-Citrus-Squeezer/dp/B00004YTQZ[/url]

Although, from what I heard, it's not even that good as a juicer. From what I remember, it was made more to look good in a kitchen as a piece of art than to be an effective juicer.[/QUOTE]
Early versions basically poisoned the juice because of the materials used for the piece itself, if I recall correctly
I may be mixing up bad kitchen tools though

Can't say I'd ever want to look at, let alone use, a kitchen spider butt plug to make juice.
[QUOTE=Oizen;52133520]Apparently they don't sell you the packs unless you own the system itself.[/QUOTE]
man can you go buy me a pack of juice, i forgot my juice ID

I got this juicer, it's amazing how much liquid it manages to squeeze out of fruits.
This is why the world hates us
The fucking Wi-Fi connectivity is basically DRM, because it ensures that you can ONLY use the packets that you buy directly from Juicero. What a fucking disaster of a product. Anyone who buys one of these is a fucking moron.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;52133422]I think the internet connection only accomplishes the ability to start the juicer from anywhere. Which is obviously a totally required and necessary step to press juice out of a plastic packet.[/QUOTE]
What's even the point of that when you have to manually insert a package every time anyway?
[QUOTE]The sum of the system — the Press, Produce Packs and App — working together is what enables a great experience. However, you won’t experience that value by hand-squeezing Produce Packs, which to be clear, [B]contain nothing but fresh, raw, organic chopped produce, not juice. What you will get with hand-squeezed hacks is a mediocre (and maybe very messy) experience that you won’t want to repeat once[/B], let alone every day.[/QUOTE]
CEO of juicer company: "juice is gross"
Am I reading that wrong? What the fuck does a juicer do so differently that it can make juice instead of a mediocre messy experience out of the same thing?
[QUOTE=Antimuffin;52133228]I'm planning to study Industrial Design by the end of the year. I'm currently making my application. Since I'm a complete beginner I only create super simple stuff like a solution for crooked tables or chairs. Nothing complicated because it would be too hard for me. But when I create/think up my stuff I always want it to have a [I]reason[/I] to exist. I always try to imagine people actually using it instead of something else. This thing shouldn't exist because, as shown, other alternatives are better and cheaper.
Some ideas just offer a new take on something. For example, here's an alternative kind of juice press by some random guy who submitted it to a University.

Of course it's just an idea. No one knows if it would actually work and the problems it would have are kinda forseeable (like wouldn't the fruit flesh just fall down?) but it's about offering variety to common stuff.[/QUOTE]
That juicer would be terrible to use...
If you're going into design, you really should take a listen to Don Norman.

Their wifi password is iamhungry.
Why are you making juice then you fuck.
[QUOTE=aznz888;52133216]For reference, at 3/4ths of the price, you can get a $300 [URL=https://www.amazon.com/Breville-800JEXL-Fountain-1000-Watt-Extractor/dp/B0002VAFVG/ref=sr_1_21?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1492806016&sr=1-21&keywords=juicer] top of the line, professional kitchen-grade juicer.[/URL]
For the remaining $100, you can buy a wheelbarrow's worth of fresh vegetables and make enough fresh delicious juice to hand out to everyone in your neighborhood, and still have enough to fill up your whole fridge.
I fucking hate this modern trend of trying to be as "modern minimalist" as possible with the aesthetic without [I]actually doing anything for how it works.[/I] This is just as wasteful as people who have Keurigs and buy single-use k-cups which don't taste anywhere near as good as fresh ground coffee.[/QUOTE]
1KW? Can that thing juice iron and concrete?

they're teasing their new special wifi enabled frying pan that only cooks their DRM restricted steaks

woah woah woah
genetically modified food is one thing
lets not get into cybernetic food yet
Jack Lalanne is spinning in his grave.
don't worry guys, the package is fully recyclable (if you take the time to open the thing and clear all the pulp out)
and heck, that pulp is still good for things! Juicero Inc. has some great suggestions! like rubbing it on your face!

What's wrong with the flavours? Pineapple, romaine, celery, cucumber, spinach, parsley, japapeño and lemon, all mashed up in a single package? Where are the fruits-only juices? [B]Why would you turn a salad into juice?[/B]
Well, at least this thing has made me re-evalute my local market. For less than two dollars I can get a jar of fresh honest-to-God juice and a decent breakfast.
This is beyond reinventing the wheel, this is designing a backpack to put the wheel inside so you don't have to carry the wheel when you walk.
this guy is fucking funny gonna have to watch him more
It is legitimately just a thing that mashes a bag. The fact that they try to say that the inside is anything special is fucking hilarious. At MOST inside the bag is a filter to keep the shit from coming out. And crushed up vegs. I would actually use the bags if they were their own thing because I'm a lazy fuck. It would legit be fresh juice.
[QUOTE=Antimuffin;52133186]Why is the exit where the juice comes out so small. Why not make it large to pour in the juice faster.
Why make it only work with Juicero brand products. The point of good inventions is universality.
Why is it so fucking expensive. 700 $ was the original price, jesus.
Why did Google invest into this.
Why does this exist.[/QUOTE]
Also you can't seem to control how much you want to get out of it. Have a small glass or want to refill two halfway-filled glasses? Nope!
The CEO looks like Steve Ballmer:

Can't wait for him to get out on a stage in a sweat-soaked shirt screaming "DRM! DRM! DRM!" or some shit.
This is Cinco-tier crazy. im surprised it doesn't require you to remove all of your teeth.
What's stopping people from just buying a carton of juice from the store??
I can't believe nobody mentioned this yet
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viejY6UZ5Bk[/media]
All I can think of is the ludicrous amount of waste this thing produces.
Every single glass of juice leaves behind a stupidly large bag that ends up in a landfill
Not even mentioning the multiple cardboard boxes within cardboard boxes for [B]five[/B] packets

This seems like something which actually uses new technology and research to innovate, rather than creating a problem and then creating a solution for the same damn problem you just invented.

I don't know if the Philips thing is the best juicer out there (I haven't researched it at all), but I know that I'd buy it before I bought the Juicero.
Calling Juicero a juicer is an insult to juicers.
And of course there's an iphone in the instructions video.

The fact that I have to create a fucking account and need an app on my phone for a fucking overdesigned juice squeazer that has lights on its front is more revolting and a MUCH worser experience than having the produce packs burst on top of the Queen of England who dropped by my home by surprise with a huge thirst.
Why not buy natural bottle juice instead even?! The thought of this enrages me aswell for some reason, and the fact that someone can even defend such a stupid product the same way they did, just makes me angrier.

I'm not saying a Juicero is the kind of thing a person with an overpriced phone like an iPhone would have, but....
