*merlotgran*, we too had a similar problem with apples this year. This year we couldn't invite our kids to the garden and had to deal with the batch ourselves. And I must admit, there's nothing better than a fruit crasher and a regular press - I've almost ruined a regular juicer (a gift from my DIL) trying to squeeze 3 lbs of apples several years ago. Don't get me wrong
Oops. Sent by mistake. Yet again, don't get me wrong. Such things are great for occasional juicing - my husband and I love to have a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning - but these machines are no deal for heavy duty. Also it's such a pain to wash it after each usage - even though our Breville is marked as "easy to clean" by these guys, there are some tricky parts that are hard to clean even with a brush.
