Juicer machine - recommendations or blends you make?

Hey guys!
Wanted to see if this was a decent cheap juicer - I'm getting tired of buying stuff after working out, and a juicer isn't something I want to go expensive on, as I'm more concerned with building my race car.
BLACK+DECKER JE2200B 400-Watt Fruit and Vegetable Juice Extractor with Custom Juice Cup, Black
Amazon has it for $36 shipped. That's the cost of 7 juices at the Jbar.
Are there more expensive options? Certainly. But unless they help me make over 450 horsepower, I don't care 
This one looks like its cheap enough to beat up for a year, donate it - and get something better if I see I'm using it a lot.
I see the 6 glass bottles are about $18, they look decent for home use.
Does anyone have any awesome mixes they put together? I don't like carrots, but would be open to almost anything else mix wise.
If someone things I shouldn't get this one, can you let me know, and why?

Sounds like a decent machine, I dont know too much about that particular model but Ive had good luck with Black'n'decker products before
Anything veggie can go into those bastards; my favourite concoctions lately are
- Beets, apples, carrots ( or not, up to you ) lime and ginger
- carrots, apples, ginger, lemon, mint
- spinach, beet leaves, kale, apple, grape

Guys, does the spinach (and kale) have a overpowering flavor? Or is it more like the "bulk" of what the juice is, and the fruits add most of the flavor?
I just know at the juicebar, the girl is hot and I don't pay attention to whats going in lol. I just tell her "please make me something, anything, no carrots".
My juicer should be here Saturday, I'm pumped. As soon as I know its going to be delivered, i'll be loading up on stuff that day when I check the tracking #.
Thanks!!!

Not sure about the kale but I don't think the spinach is overpowering. You just need a lot to get the juice. Most the flavorful things will trump the taste.

You'll definitely notice the kale! It's a stronger flavor, to me at least.
Kale mixes good with mangos, pineapple, Orange and Apple + ginger and lemon

Hope I'm not too late. I've got that juicer, it works, but not very well. This one always sends whole pieces of vegetable through with the pulp. The pulp container fills up before my glass is full of juice, it's a pain in the ass to clean (but all juicers are I guess), and it seems like it doesn't get all the juice out of the pulp. If this one costs the same as 7 juices at the bar, you should probably shell out for the one that costs 10-12 juices.

I don't disagree now that I have it 
BUT, its ok - it does a good job on oranges and apples - but I 100% agree with what your saying. I'm still going to use the heck out of it.
The pulp is nasty, and I tried to taste that, but yeah, all the fun is gone from the pulp for sure when you taste it.
Cleanup, everyone recommended a bag in the pulp chute, but its the middle part that gets loaded up too.
For the money I paid, its decent. I'm not unhappy - but I see exactly what you mean. WHERE were you 6 days ago foraged!!

Just a thought, if you cut up your veggies and fruit into smaller pieces, does it juice any better? Mine sure does. I also gotta clean mine up right after Im done making juice. If I wait and the pulp starts drying, then its really difficult to clean ( I got a juiceman 2 in 1 )
