Are you looking for one? or trying to decide if it is worth getting?

I have one (for several years), and it is easy to use and clean.  There is one problem: the machine separates the fiber from the juice, and we need fiber in our diet.  You can use the pulp in other recipes, unless you use things like apples with stem and seeds, grapes, and other things that do not get chopped.  Then you have to either remove those things before you juice, or pick through the pulp after you juice.

There is a better choice.  Get a powerful blender, such as Vita-mix, BlendTec, or the less costly one sold by Montel Williams.  I got the one from Montel; it was around $100, and at least 90% of the power of the Vita-Mix at about 20% of the cost.

When I am making juice / smoothies, for an apple, I remove the little plastic thing stuck on the apple, the put the whole thing in the blender.  With about 2 minutes, the smoothie is ready, and there is no lumps. 

As Jack has said for years, the juicer extracts the nutrition.  But without the pulp, we can have other problems.  The blender keeps the pulp with the juice.
