Anyone remember what type of nut stone grinder Juicy Lucy bought?  I found her picture but not the name of her machine.

Do you use nut milk makers or your blender/juicer? Right now, I'm using my blendtec, but I've been eyeing Soyabella and Soyapower Plus. I know Soyabella can do cold/raw nut milks, not sure on the soyapower one though. My boyfriend is not raw and drinks a lot of rice/almond milk from the store and want to cut down with the expense. Thanks!

Has anyone used or tried the Lexsun 6 in 1 juicer?

Which Breville Juice do you have and what are the pros and cons of that one? I am in the market and can;t decide.

I have the 9-tray Excalibur and love it. I know it's more expensive than the other two, but I often use it for bulky items (to 'heat up' stuff or sprout wild rice in a jar) and I need the door closed, which neither of the ones you listed have. They are also lacking the fine mash screen that I use often to dehydrate sprouted nuts and seeds, which means you will either need to purchase those on your own, and come closer to the price of the Excalibur or always use the non-stick sheets (which you also have to buy extra for the E) which will slow down air circulation. The trays are also have different dims from that of the E, so when you do buy the extra screens and non-stick sheets, they will have to be cut, and they won't wide (or long) enough on one side. If they were less than half the price, I would say, sure, why not, but it's coming close enough to Excalibur to consider the latter. I did live with a nesco for about a year because I didn't want to pay too much, and it worked fine, but as I progressed on my raw food journey, it became clear that I needed the real deal. One thing you can save on though is the non-stick sheets, just search amazon for the generic one, works fine.
I hope this helps. Don't mean to diss other products I never tried, I just wanted to bring some of the potential issues to light based on my own dehydrating experience. They do have fairly good reviews, but only about 6 or 7, while the E is tried and proven :)
