sometimes people don't wanna wash dishes so this is for classy butt lazy wanna be clean people what I'd say to them is " that is 0 to100 percent too the extreme level of stupidity to buy this 400$ dallor juicer " .
this has to be some sort of social experiment about how obsessed people can be about connectivity and the internet. i cannot believe this is a real product.
There used to be an infomercial for a dinner tray table. They had people reacting like it was so completely revolutionary. "You mean this thing has the ability to set your book on while reading, you can play games on it, you can eat dinner on it, do puzzles on it? What the heck is this thing?" Seriously, it was a small table.
I am their target demo and even I think this is pure nonsense, though. A VitaMix costs less and can make juice. A Breville juicers cost 1/4 of this device and makes juice. Both do it without subscriptions of precut veggies/fruit
They arent the same. Vitamix is a blender, which introduces heat and air to the juice, which isnt great. Anyone that own a traditional juicer knows its a pain cutting fruit and veggies, and then spending 15 minutes cleaning the machine for 1-2 cups of juice. While the Juicero is a complete scam, the idea behind it is zero hassle homemade fresh juice, like if you went to a restaurant that did this, but like I said, this is a scam.
I enjoy the idea of a juicer needing WiFi to work. It is difficult to find an Ethernet connection for my blender, especially when I also need a 4G connection to download my strawberries from the grocery store. This is an improvement in regards to convenience.
Yorkiesrule why go so far as to having internet to check expiration dates when you could use your eyes lol. Or just implement a time and date recognition by you setting it up like a normal clock and the juicer just scanning the date and comparing the data.

@ magna carge 4 tons isn’t a lot. Especially for something incompressible like solids or liquids. A floor jack or hydraulic press from Harbor Freight can produce 5 tons of force. If something breaks, the force is almost instantly removed. Where it starts to get dangerous is if that energy is in compressed gasses or springs. These will be accelerated to high speeds by that type of force if there is a failure. Still.. a propane tank has all of that in addition to the combustible properties of the gas. A small BBQ propane tank 12.5” in diameter and 24” high with 100 psi of propane is holding back a total force of 150 tons!

What's especially hilarious about this video is that they used a very small boned, skinny-fingered person to demonstrate the fact it could be self-squeezed.
@@Czelonka juices aren't expensive, these are just super overpriced You can get a can get a cold press juicer for 1/4 of this juicero and it makes actual juice instead of just squeezing out capri sun packets
I can't believe this is real. The fact that someone started a company, spent R&D and marketing money on this, and the fact that someone bought this. We're doomed as a species.
I think it started as automatic fancy real fruit jucing device. Thrown n Radom fruit and it will squeeze all the juice. They failed to design a machine which can reliably without cleaning small parts and instead of went with subscription method... Probably since they released a working product investors can't sue for their money
So you can't actually buy your own fruits and vegetables and make juice with it, you have to keep purchasing single packets. just from that alone it was a terrible idea.
bigbullbk, and you cannot buy the packets without a subscription. Meaning if you wanted only 3 packets they would not sell them to you. You had to sign up for a volume based monthly plan. And the packets expired 3 days after the date of manufacturer. And the machine would not press expired packets.
The sole fact that this thing actually got heavy investment rounds and got into production goes to show how detached from reality Silicon Valley actually is.
Literally everything in Silicon Valley is expensive. I had a college friend whose dad worked at Stanford so I spent a week there. Never saw a hint of litter but groceries were ridiculous. The same product that would be $2 anywhere else is $5+ there.
There's a gentrified town on the jersey shore called Asbury Park where you can find expensive juice too. On one side of the railroad tracks are section 8 housing complexes and frequent gang related shootings; on the other side there are dive bars, expensive restaurants, & a cat cafe where you can literally drink coffee with cats. I had breakfast there last week where I spent $30 on 2 smoothies and juice shots followed by a $5 avocado toast that wasn't even a full piece of bread. I wanted to cry.
"Squeezero!" "Squee-0" "Squiz'r" "Squ-0" (just trying to suggest you some cool names for your new start up) "Sqiz'0" "Sque-eek0" "Squizit-0" "Squizitzero" "Squee-z-yourwallet2-0"
+Baalaxa I think we need a stronger word than "idiots". Someone who is stupid enough to buy this thing makes _rocks_ look like Einstein by comparison. Someone else has used the term "oxygen thief". I suggest this term should be applied in this situation.
No, they shouldn't. A fool is rightly parted from his money. *Especially* a rich fool. You don't think any working-class people paid effing 700 bucks for a juicer, do you?
+jpkjnn Nonsense. There's nothing illegal about charging a stupid price for a gimmick luxury good. There was no false advertising. *The machine does exactly what it's advertised to do:* it does, in fact, press juice out of pouches of finely cut fruit. It's just also completely unnecessary, at a completely ridiculous price-point. And that falls into the realm of buyer beware. In fact, ironically, Juicero investors are ecstatic about this news, because the juice packs are selling twice as well as they expected, and so they can make far more money from far more people subscribing to buy, say, 10 packs a week if the prohibitive one-time presser purchase isn't a barrier. Google it. Juicero prbly isn't going anywhere. The presser will drop further in price, it'll likely be made with cheaper materials in the future, and the minced fruit packs will become the real business. The demand for cold-press fruit juice remains.
You guys need to do a video update and talk about how it feels to destroy a company in 1 min flat. This is quality journalism and probably the best video all year.
1. Plastic. 2. Not nearly as fresh as the juice YOU make. 3. You aren't making the recipes yourself. 4. Fewer reasons to support your LOCAL farmer's market - or to even go to your farmer's market. 5. Expensive. This is way more pricey than making your juice from produce you purchased yourself. 6. The MACHINE does just ONE thing... that is it. And if you decide you don't like it anymore, it is garbage. Whereas a Vitamix or Juicer are not tied to a certain company's product to make a glass of juice. 7. The MACHINE costs $700.00, or more than a Vitamix. And the Juicero does only one thing that is tied to the company. 8. If Juicero goes out of business, no more juice packs… that means your Juicero Machine will be a 31-pound, $700.00 doorstop. 9. Yet *another* piece of technology for your kitchen... 10. Did I mention the WASTE products from something this high on the consumer products ladder? So, a big NO from me on this redundant, wasteful, expensive, lazy, not-so-fresh juice product that unquestionably ties you to one company for your juicing. Make it yourself, folks, and enjoy the process, the journey, the truly fresh juice, your self-reliance, your better health. And when you DO want it easy, have your friend, spouse, kids, lover, neighbor, or neighborhood juice bar make you some juice. WAY sexier, friendlier, and better for the environment.
You forgot the main thing, all it does is sqeeze pre made juice out of a bag. If you are gonna buy pre made juice just go to the store and get some juice lol.
ThePastyPrince it actually is chucks of "fresh" fruit in the bag. But still, it's absolutely ridiculous. You're paying $400 for a squeezer. There's a sucker born every minute.
totally argee!! very well said!! the juice I make from whole fruits and vegetables can be messy and time-consuming but it's doable and well worth it! The Laptops we see in Costco can range to $700.00; better that than a $700.00 piece of white waste waiting to put a nasty gash in your wallet!! You know what I'm saying Right?
My company dropped hella money on this gimmick, they bought 8 juicers and stocked the company fridge daily full of bags, all complimentary for employees. Once they were exposed these were gone overnight, midweek 😂
Seems like those packs don't actually contain cut-up fruits and veggies tho. If it can be done by hand they're probably just filled with juice already. So the machine doesn't even squeeze juice out of produce itself, it just empties a juice pack for you. That's so incredibly dumb it's almost impressive how this company survived for that long.
Artsy Scrub It was some kind of a protest march ad and a can of Pepsi solved all the problems. It was aimed towards liberals so I'm gonna assume that's who it pissed off the most. Look it up you'll find news about it super easily.
NomadicTechies get out of here with that "organic" bs! organic is not any better for you than non-organic... and studies have consistently shown that. it is just a marketing hype so that businesses could sell you overpriced food. if you read articles that try to sell you on organic, it's embarrassing how much they flip flop on whether it's actually better for you or not.
+NomadicTechies I don't see what's wrong with GMO's. Unless your'e one of those people who think GMO causes autism or some shit, go ahead and buy that $400 juicer.
There isn't a single person in the United States that needs more nutrition... let alone someone that can afford a 400 dollar juicer plus 8 dollar bags of shredded carrots that make two small cups of juice. A food being more nutritious would mean it has more non empty calories or more vitamins/minerals. But I challenge you to find a single study showing you can't get every bit of vitamin/mineral you need and more from your standard, cheap, non Organic/GMO laden diet.
The best part was that the CEO of Juice released an open letter politely asking his costumers to "not squeeze the packs by hand? Please? Pretty please?"
well, idea is, you buy $400 press and you get yourself $40 a week subscription plan for those bags (5 a week) of juice. $40*56 = $2240 a year on juice bags. And you only get 5 servings a week for that price. You don't live alone and you need more? well, just multiply the amount of bags :) Great way of scamming money out of lazy and stupid
No you also need to sign in, connect your phone, be connected to the internet, and agree to have all information given to any company that asks for it. Also if you insert any bag other than a Juicero bag it will refuse to juice it.
You are missing the entire point. The point is that the company that owns the juicer claims that their bags contain chopped fruits and vegetables, and that their machine squeezes the bag to make the sliced produce into juice. However, as the video demonstrated, the bag is basically a capri sun. The bag contains the juice pre-made, and all the "juicer" does is squeeze the juice out of the bag. That's it
I think you over jumped the point. There is chopped fruit in there, and the machine did pull out a little more. Its not just cutting open a bag and waiting for it to pour out. There is some pressing action going on. There's lots of videos on youtube of people cutting open the bags. There's chunks, just most seem pretty soft and juicy already. Maybe there's water added or something? Still takes the woman in this video a minute to squeeze out with her hands. They aren't typically lying. They are just scamming people.
Next time, they should’ve double check the practicality before they mass produce, sell it & unintentionally become one of the factors of climate change or global warming.
@Stix N' Stones Go to Beijing and breathe in the toxic air then. Call Climate change a hoax all you want. One thing is clear. The oceans are fucked in oil and plastic and the toxic, chemical air surrounding us is decreasing our lifespans. The plastic waste caused by this company alone probably fucked an entire river to death. I'm sure you don't care but, in 50 years' time, I wouldn't exactly want to be drinking toxic water and breathing plastic into my lungs.
I come back to this legendary video every few months. I still can’t believe that a startup worth millions of dollars was single-handedly destroyed by a 20 second clip of a dude squeezing a bag
The whole point of a juicer is to juice fruit and veg (chopped, usually) into juice. A blender can do a much better job than that. Ditto with a soupmaker. This is just a glorified juice dispenser. If anyone asks, I would spend that kind of money on a new gaming console or a run-of-the-mill laptop.
I love how the BGM just stops cold when the tester puts the cup on the counter. It’s like even the instruments can’t believe how dumb this whole thing is.
The greatest irony in the whole story is that if you actually take the thing apart and look at the mechanics it's quite apparent they must have been losing a substantial amount of money per unit even selling them even at $699. They are way overbuilt, probably costing several thousand dollars per unit to make. The juice packs themselves where the only potentially profitable part of the business. Granted, this is the case in a lot of other business models, for example game consoles, where a company might take a bit of a loss on the initial hardware in order sell enough units that they can make profits off the software/fee's/subscription's later. But in those cases, the key is you actually need the hardware to use the product. That's kinda an important part of such a business model.
Its worse than this. you cant buy the fruit pouches unless you have the juicer. They literally dont want you buying the juice bags and squeezing them yourself.
the biggest fraud is that the bags actually contained presqueezed juice, and not 'chopped up vegetables' that the machine pressed; how they haven't been sued for straight up false advertising is crazy. also you'd think they'd have put in some actual mechanism to make the bags not just dump their juice out when squeezed, lol.
Okay but how the hell did it take TWO YEARS for people to realize this?? Always knew you could cut/squeeze the bags open and get the juice.. The machine is useless
Two years is pretty fast. Folks still thinks that Tesla has been “breaking the mold” by delivering cutting-edge technology. They don't even realize that things like that have been around for years.
What makes you think people didn't know other electric cars are available? Or you just envy by denial? It's not about new or old technology. It's about making it comfortable and widespread by putting parts in correct order and developing supporting infrastructure. Tesla did it great. Others didn't.
The funny thing is that the Juicero, the machine itself, is well made with pretty excellent assembly , durable materials and polished finish. A beautiful machine with no purpose whatsoever.

But there is already a hydraulic juicer on the market: It's called the Norwalk!
Your profile pic perfectly describes your comment
First thing I did was check the date to see if it was posted April 1st.
Well it *was* uploaded on April, just not 1st.
That's my birthday. I feel sad.....
Reckno64 same
Happy birthday to us.
I can't believe this is real. The fact that someone started a company, spent R&D and marketing money on this, and the fact that someone bought this. We're doomed as a species.
I think it started as automatic fancy real fruit jucing device.
Thrown n Radom fruit and it will squeeze all the juice. They failed to design a machine which can reliably without cleaning small parts and instead of went with subscription method...
Probably since they released a working product investors can't sue for their money
Ivanka trump, opera, google, and a lot of other rich and big corporations funded and advertised this lol
There is an aisle in your grocery store that sells bottled juice. Hell, there are probably two of them.
what is this technology....
matthias
Lmao
Bottled juice? What is this? The Middle ages? Get hip to this world of great technology.
"Get hip"...sorry what era are you from?
see, i could understand this being $400 if it made the juice star trek style.
So you can't actually buy your own fruits and vegetables and make juice with it, you have to keep purchasing single packets. just from that alone it was a terrible idea.
And each packet is $6. lmfao What a waste of money and resources.
Like those Nescafe coffee pods lol what a scam
bigbullbk, and you cannot buy the packets without a subscription. Meaning if you wanted only 3 packets they would not sell them to you. You had to sign up for a volume based monthly plan. And the packets expired 3 days after the date of manufacturer. And the machine would not press expired packets.
They probably had some 'subscription' service. That's the fad
And the machine would require you to scan the QR code on the packet before using it. Preventing you from using 3rd party packets.
If you ever feel useless just remember this machine exists
This is just a high tech scam machine.
Dashiell
"high tech"
Did you just say iPhone?
The sole fact that this thing actually got heavy investment rounds and got into production goes to show how detached from reality Silicon Valley actually is.

Literally everything in Silicon Valley is expensive. I had a college friend whose dad worked at Stanford so I spent a week there. Never saw a hint of litter but groceries were ridiculous. The same product that would be $2 anywhere else is $5+ there.
There's a gentrified town on the jersey shore called Asbury Park where you can find expensive juice too. On one side of the railroad tracks are section 8 housing complexes and frequent gang related shootings; on the other side there are dive bars, expensive restaurants, & a cat cafe where you can literally drink coffee with cats. I had breakfast there last week where I spent $30 on 2 smoothies and juice shots followed by a $5 avocado toast that wasn't even a full piece of bread. I wanted to cry.

Correct. It squeezes money out of idiots.

I think we need a stronger word than "idiots". Someone who is stupid enough to buy this thing makes _rocks_ look like Einstein by comparison.
Someone else has used the term "oxygen thief". I suggest this term should be applied in this situation.
then we should name it squeezero.
What a bad invention. I wonder if it has a headphone jack
it took actually only 55 seconds to destroy the entire Juicero company.
Eat the fruit instead and get the fiber :D

If apple made a juicer.
After finding out about the iStand pro for 999$ i no longer find this funny

Not a juicer, if it doesn't juice? Lol
Harmony Knight it should be called a squeezer and a waste of time
Yeah....."Makes" the juice LOL. It's in a bag pre-made. These people should give their money back to the stupid American consumers.
No, they shouldn't.
A fool is rightly parted from his money.
*Especially* a rich fool. You don't think any working-class people paid effing 700 bucks for a juicer, do you?
CognizantCheddar nonsense. at best they misled, at worst they outright lied. this is a total scam and they should gave charges for it.
+jpkjnn Nonsense. There's nothing illegal about charging a stupid price for a gimmick luxury good.
There was no false advertising. *The machine does exactly what it's advertised to do:* it does, in fact, press juice out of pouches of finely cut fruit. It's just also completely unnecessary, at a completely ridiculous price-point. And that falls into the realm of buyer beware.
In fact, ironically, Juicero investors are ecstatic about this news, because the juice packs are selling twice as well as they expected, and so they can make far more money from far more people subscribing to buy, say, 10 packs a week if the prohibitive one-time presser purchase isn't a barrier. Google it.
Juicero prbly isn't going anywhere. The presser will drop further in price, it'll likely be made with cheaper materials in the future, and the minced fruit packs will become the real business. The demand for cold-press fruit juice remains.
You guys need to do a video update and talk about how it feels to destroy a company in 1 min flat. This is quality journalism and probably the best video all year.
How Bloomberg killed a startup in 60 seconds.
Startup ❌
Scam ✅
1. Plastic.
2. Not nearly as fresh as the juice YOU make.
3. You aren't making the recipes yourself.
4. Fewer reasons to support your LOCAL farmer's market - or to even go to your farmer's market.
5. Expensive. This is way more pricey than making your juice from produce you purchased yourself.
6. The MACHINE does just ONE thing... that is it. And if you decide you don't like it anymore, it is garbage. Whereas a Vitamix or Juicer are not tied to a certain company's product to make a glass of juice.
7. The MACHINE costs $700.00, or more than a Vitamix. And the Juicero does only one thing that is tied to the company.
8. If Juicero goes out of business, no more juice packs… that means your Juicero Machine will be a 31-pound, $700.00 doorstop.
9. Yet *another* piece of technology for your kitchen...
10. Did I mention the WASTE products from something this high on the consumer products ladder?
So, a big NO from me on this redundant, wasteful, expensive, lazy, not-so-fresh juice product that unquestionably ties you to one company for your juicing.
Make it yourself, folks, and enjoy the process, the journey, the truly fresh juice, your self-reliance, your better health.
And when you DO want it easy, have your friend, spouse, kids, lover, neighbor, or neighborhood juice bar make you some juice. WAY sexier, friendlier, and better for the environment.
You forgot the main thing, all it does is sqeeze pre made juice out of a bag. If you are gonna buy pre made juice just go to the store and get some juice lol.
4. 100% agree. Support = help = productivity. $400 for this CON TRAP tion??!
ThePastyPrince it actually is chucks of "fresh" fruit in the bag. But still, it's absolutely ridiculous. You're paying $400 for a squeezer. There's a sucker born every minute.
They even sell your information
totally argee!! very well said!! the juice I make from whole fruits and vegetables can be messy and time-consuming but it's doable and well worth it! The Laptops we see in Costco can range to $700.00; better that than a $700.00 piece of white waste waiting to put a nasty gash in your wallet!! You know what I'm saying Right?
Hydraulic press will do the job even better!
IRFZ44 more satisfying too
Why the frick are you a mosfet?
My company dropped hella money on this gimmick, they bought 8 juicers and stocked the company fridge daily full of bags, all complimentary for employees. Once they were exposed these were gone overnight, midweek 😂
😂😂😂😂
i love how their main point is buying organic fruits and vegetables can be too expensive so the alternative is a 400 dollar bag squeezer.
whoever bought this crap deserved it. first for buying juice in a bag and second for buying a bag squeezer for $400 - $700 lol.
Those guys who buy this shit are the same dudes who would pay $1000 for a bottle of wine that looks fancy, got a funny name, filled with grape juice.
Seems like those packs don't actually contain cut-up fruits and veggies tho. If it can be done by hand they're probably just filled with juice already. So the machine doesn't even squeeze juice out of produce itself, it just empties a juice pack for you. That's so incredibly dumb it's almost impressive how this company survived for that long.

i haven't laughed this loud at a comment in a while
Here’s 13 reasons why
This video is actual internet history
But..but...hand squeezing doesn't come with a wifi connection...
5-8$ for a bag of juice? I can get a whole gallon of juice for $5 or less!
Organic vs well poison at $5 a gallon.
NomadicTechies get out of here with that "organic" bs! organic is not any better for you than non-organic... and studies have consistently shown that. it is just a marketing hype so that businesses could sell you overpriced food. if you read articles that try to sell you on organic, it's embarrassing how much they flip flop on whether it's actually better for you or not.
+NomadicTechies I don't see what's wrong with GMO's. Unless your'e one of those people who think GMO causes autism or some shit, go ahead and buy that $400 juicer.
shit was 700 originally
There isn't a single person in the United States that needs more nutrition... let alone someone that can afford a 400 dollar juicer plus 8 dollar bags of shredded carrots that make two small cups of juice.
A food being more nutritious would mean it has more non empty calories or more vitamins/minerals. But I challenge you to find a single study showing you can't get every bit of vitamin/mineral you need and more from your standard, cheap, non Organic/GMO laden diet.
The best part was that the CEO of Juice released an open letter politely asking his costumers to "not squeeze the packs by hand? Please? Pretty please?"
"a startup based in San Francisco"
Ok okay it makes more sense now.
yea
In India we just eat the fruit from the trees! No one's investing on trees anymore😑

newLEGACY boy aiiii mee too
your telling me that I need $400 to squeeze a fucking bag!!!
Spriy Egg yes now give me your money
well, idea is, you buy $400 press and you get yourself $40 a week subscription plan for those bags (5 a week) of juice. $40*56 = $2240 a year on juice bags. And you only get 5 servings a week for that price. You don't live alone and you need more? well, just multiply the amount of bags :)
Great way of scamming money out of lazy and stupid
To squease an $8 bag
yeah and also the machine only squeezes the bag if you have WiFi and it's an official juicero bag otherwise it doesn't work
No you also need to sign in, connect your phone, be connected to the internet, and agree to have all information given to any company that asks for it. Also if you insert any bag other than a Juicero bag it will refuse to juice it.
This reminds me of the robot that passes butter from Rick and Morty lol
“What is my purpose in life?”
“You squeeze a package of juice”
LMAO
700 then 400 dollars to do something you do just as easy with your bare hands
kibb Kibbie try squeezing juice from a beet or a carrot. something's not right about their test
It's not the test, it's what is in the package. Are the things so finely chopped that it's all but juice already?
You are missing the entire point. The point is that the company that owns the juicer claims that their bags contain chopped fruits and vegetables, and that their machine squeezes the bag to make the sliced produce into juice.
However, as the video demonstrated, the bag is basically a capri sun. The bag contains the juice pre-made, and all the "juicer" does is squeeze the juice out of the bag. That's it
dllemm you missed the point. juocero is scamming people. its ridiculous.
I think you over jumped the point. There is chopped fruit in there, and the machine did pull out a little more. Its not just cutting open a bag and waiting for it to pour out. There is some pressing action going on.
There's lots of videos on youtube of people cutting open the bags. There's chunks, just most seem pretty soft and juicy already. Maybe there's water added or something? Still takes the woman in this video a minute to squeeze out with her hands. They aren't typically lying. They are just scamming people.
Next time, they should’ve double check the practicality before they mass produce, sell it & unintentionally become one of the factors of climate change or global warming.
You really think silicone valley care about such things?
@Stix N' Stones Go to Beijing and breathe in the toxic air then.
Call Climate change a hoax all you want. One thing is clear. The oceans are fucked in oil and plastic and the toxic, chemical air surrounding us is decreasing our lifespans.
The plastic waste caused by this company alone probably fucked an entire river to death. I'm sure you don't care but, in 50 years' time, I wouldn't exactly want to be drinking toxic water and breathing plastic into my lungs.

Lol "climate change and global warming"

cant you just buy a smoothie from walmart for like 2 dollars that will taste exactly the same?
yes, yes you can.
But then you can't brag about a 400/700 dollar juicer to your vegan friends 🤷🏻♂️
@@Alex-956 Bold of you to assume i have vegan friends if any at all.
@@Alex-956 bold of you to assume people in the internet have friends
But does that smoothie have wifi? If not, then it's so last century.
So it's a $400 juicer that only squeezes a bag of pre-packaged juice... Wow 21st Century thinking right there.
This is like the Apple computer of juicing machines.
It's an iJuicer!
Except the Apple computer actually works and is built well
Scott Lencl hahaha
My Art Page and 400 times the price that it’s worth
My Art Page This juicer also works and is built well. Your point?
I come back to this legendary video every few months. I still can’t believe that a startup worth millions of dollars was single-handedly destroyed by a 20 second clip of a dude squeezing a bag
That video was just…..Epic! 😂
Does anyone else just go to the supermarket, buy a bunch of fruit for like $2 and just eat it? Or am I like, totally old fashioned?
No. I just pick them at trees.
Going to supermarket in 2017 lol
I just get my energy directly from the sun via photosynthesis
Daily Blunts boy, I grow my own fruits and eat them in my garden, then I make a fire and cook steaks over the coals. I’m too old fashioned.
The world has not reached your level of innovation yet.
Good job, You put them out of business
The whole point of a juicer is to juice fruit and veg (chopped, usually) into juice.
A blender can do a much better job than that. Ditto with a soupmaker. This is just a glorified juice dispenser.
If anyone asks, I would spend that kind of money on a new gaming console or a run-of-the-mill laptop.
It's basically a glorified Capri-sun pouch.
don't insult Capri-succ
They are trying to solve problems that doesn't exist!
I love how the BGM just stops cold when the tester puts the cup on the counter. It’s like even the instruments can’t believe how dumb this whole thing is.
"jazz music stops"
"Just connect your juicer to the wifi!"

The greatest irony in the whole story is that if you actually take the thing apart and look at the mechanics it's quite apparent they must have been losing a substantial amount of money per unit even selling them even at $699. They are way overbuilt, probably costing several thousand dollars per unit to make. The juice packs themselves where the only potentially profitable part of the business.
Granted, this is the case in a lot of other business models, for example game consoles, where a company might take a bit of a loss on the initial hardware in order sell enough units that they can make profits off the software/fee's/subscription's later. But in those cases, the key is you actually need the hardware to use the product. That's kinda an important part of such a business model.
Yes, Also with printer companies
They reportedly cost the company $750 each to produce.
"Gamers"
Its worse than this. you cant buy the fruit pouches unless you have the juicer. They literally dont want you buying the juice bags and squeezing them yourself.
Look i drink healthy but i like to create a lot of plastic trash too...
They said they would pick it up for recycling if you tell them to do so but hey, who would bother?
A 1 minute video that brought down a $120 million company. Got to be a record.
Cut open one of the bags prior and after juicing.
This. Supposedly there's "pulp and cut up fruits and veg" Maybe theres more to this or maybe its total bull. I'm guessing somewhere inbetween
Knowing who sponsered it, you wouldn't be far off.
Chad K no, it's total bull. After the bags are done you're supposed to cut open the bags and remove the pulp and put it in your compost pile.
Do they sell "empty" bags to cut up your own fruit and put in the bags?
you are then expected to return the used bags back to the company
Just squeezing concentrate
Oh my god...u again 😳
Ah, the Justin Y. of music.
Stfu
Funny how all the comments was from 1 month ago replying to his comment from 2 years ago💀
the biggest fraud is that the bags actually contained presqueezed juice, and not 'chopped up vegetables' that the machine pressed; how they haven't been sued for straight up false advertising is crazy. also you'd think they'd have put in some actual mechanism to make the bags not just dump their juice out when squeezed, lol.
$399 ? that's ridiculous! Im just gonna buy a chair that could do something that normal chairs couldn't.
ivy ivy ironically the juicer itself is worth much more than 400$. Estimates have put it at over 1000$
Haha 1.2k salty juicero customers
A juicer that just squeeze juice? I’m speechless.
Made specifically for people who don't want to be bothered to clean a juicer machine after one single use.
Okay but how the hell did it take TWO YEARS for people to realize this?? Always knew you could cut/squeeze the bags open and get the juice.. The machine is useless
Two years is pretty fast. Folks still thinks that Tesla has been “breaking the mold” by delivering cutting-edge technology. They don't even realize that things like that have been around for years.
What makes you think people didn't know other electric cars are available? Or you just envy by denial? It's not about new or old technology. It's about making it comfortable and widespread by putting parts in correct order and developing supporting infrastructure. Tesla did it great. Others didn't.
And why not buy the vegetables and fruits yourself and use an ordinary kenwwod/Bosch/Philips or whatever brand of juicer you want?
lmao how can you even make juice without WiFi
