There is a great tear-down video of a juicero on YouTube where the guy makes comments the whole way through about how every part is ridiculously over-engineered: https://youtu.be/_Cp-BGQfpHQ


Have to remember that this was a "give away the razor, sell the blades" scheme. If you're the proprietor of such a scheme, you really, really don't want the razor to break.

The ballsy thing about Juicero was that they didn't give away the razor. It was priced at something like $400. They were awfully high on their own supply.


> It was priced at something like $400.

Initially $700!! They dropped the price to $400 after poor sales.


I'm surprised he hasn't deleted that video yet, he has a habit of deleting his old ones. Also don't support him and his extreme right wing views.
