@@baronofcinnamontoast3260 Better yet, I could build a decent Ryzen PC with used parts, or buy a fucking "juicer" that doesnt even juice shit, it just pours pre-mixed packages
Congratulations to everyone who bought an acre of land, planted fruit trees, waited for them to grow, picked the ripe fruit, washed and sliced it, put it in a blender and made their own juice like a normal person while the Juicero was being set up
Actually, the "caprisuns" themselves cost 5 to 8 US dollars, bUT, you can't buy them unless you have the machine, so it's more like caprisun, but make it $400 + 5x/8x for the rest of your life if you ever actually drink enough juice to get your moneys worth on this fucking thing.
Doing an engineering course rn and they actually showed us the Juicero as an example of what _not_ to do when designing a product. What personally offends me the most is the fact that the machine takes several minutes just to pour the juice, something a normal juice carton can do in seconds, so you're not just paying top-dollar for something you can do with your hands for free, you're actually paying top dollar for something _less_ efficient than what you can just do with your hands for free
the app is what gets me. I hate this new generation of technology making everything require a WI-FI connection and/or a whole app- therefore needing to sign up with some company and give them your email and phone number. makes it a lot less efficient, as you said. what happened to just pressing buttons? and in recent times it’s even a thing to lock features on a PHYSICAL DEVICE behind a paid subscription from an APP. I’d much rather spend 20 minutes looking through a manual to learn how something works, than have to bring out my phone, load up an app, probably watch an advert because no app is free of them, and then tap my phone screen every time I want to do something.
In addition, even after paying $400, the juice packets are ridiculously expensive. They were literally more expensive than getting juice at most juice bars.
Honestly whoever designed it probably knew how pointless it was. I kinda think they were relying on the whole “it does it anywhere on the cloud!!!” pitch to make sales
Someone gave my grandparents this for a white elephant gift. It ended 2 days later when my grandpa (in late stage cancer) flung the box with more strength I've ever seen him use for anything and absolutely fucking destroyed this juicer
You ought to be proud of him for such a show of heroic feat of strength he had… You’d honor him to carry on the legacy of his bloodline that you came from and wail on those shitty products like the Juicero 🤝👏
Apparently, it also refuses to juice if the package is one day expired. It won't let you risk an upset stomach, so you must buy a new package. Everything about it is anti-user.
King Doomfist Apparently you cant buy the juice packets without a juicero juicer, too. These cucks want you to spend $400 to subscribe to their shitty juicing shit that isn't even fresh and can be done by hand anyway
- Several times the price of a normal juicer - Requires you to be tethered to a wi-fi connection for it to run - You can't purchase the juice packs without buying the machines - You get the functionally same result either by squeezing the packs by hand or using the machine - The juicer will automatically lock you out if you attempt to use a non-Juicero product - The juicer will automatically lock you out if the company decides to "brick" the packs due to having ingredients that were recalled - a month's supply (average a glass a day) of packs is $240 - the CEO claims that people who squeeze the packs are "hacking" them This is the dumbest product I've seen in a long, long time.
It was from the CEO's official statement. In his words. "hacking consumer products isn't new". Mate if I decided to drink soup straight from the bowl I did not just hack a spoon.
+savegalkissy Woah, _white supremacist?_ That's incredibly racist and offensive of you, this person could be any skin color, or maybe white and not a supremacist, just a racist. But no, because they're racist they _have_ to be a white supremacist, is that it? wow you're a racist and nothing you say will ever have any value or worth good job there bud
What annoys me most is that they claimed the bags contained fresh fruits that it would squeeze into liquid juice. But it was just pre made juice already in the bag
I showed Juicero to my father (a mechanical engineer who specializes in food processing equipment). Pretty sure he took at least 50 psychic damage from it, especially at the part with the Wi-Fi and QR code.
@@jonathanlee6660 I play german servers from Kuwait 200 ping on a good day because to game company, only china and japan are asia and the rest doesn't exist.
My FAVORITE part of the Juicero story is when the CEO listed 3 things Juicero provides that you can't give elsewhere. 2 of them were situations in which the machine just refuses to work.
“Uh oh guys, internets down. Guess we’re not gonna be able to drink any juice for a while now because for some reason this machine needs the internet to make juice.”
Every single flaw? There are about 30 more he didn't even mention. He only makes fun of the absolute worst parts. He could have made a 1 hour video if he wanted to.
Lol I used to cut the inventor’s hair. It took 4 haircuts (about 6 months) for me to conceptually grasp that this expensive machine just squeezes a plastic bag of already-been-juiced juice. Every time he came in, i was like “but.. wait.. why?” I think he felt dumber and dumber.. and then the world found out about it. 🤦🏻♀️😮💨 Hope he’s doing ok.
I'm 2 years too late, but from what I remember he's drinking stagnant water, so I don't think he's doing ok per say, but he's certainly doing something !
"those damn millenials can't even squeeze their own prepackaged juice nowdays, they probably need a machine connected to the internet via those pesky iphones"
They installed a camera into this machine for the sole purpose of scanning your QR code during the setup process. Everything about this machine is entirely useless.
Oh my god I never thought about that, that's absurd. It would have been so much cheaper to just print a QR on the damn press. Or, better yet, just use bluetooth like every other damn electronic appliance! No wait, even better: USE YOUR HANDS!
the more i look at it, the more i get convinced that its main purpose really is sucking on your data. I can understand a machine designed to make use of another specific product (coffee machines do it all the time) but all the app and internet connection stuff is just so blatantly pointless that it HAS to be some sort of scheme
So if it's just one day past the expiration date, it refuses to press it? How utterly fantastic. Why couldn't it just give a warning, requiring you to confirm you'll do it anyway? That is _so_ wasteful. I'm sure everyone knows by now that expiration dates are not hard rules, just a suggestion based on an estimate. Our senses have evolved exactly for this job - to suss out if something has gone bad - so you should always use your smell, taste and common sense to figure it out. Food waste is a _huge_ issue.
@@mollyj6286 Haha 😂 You know what, my mom is exactly the same. The _minute_ something is expired, she throws it away, sometimes even before. I think it's a generational thing; she's 59, and back in her day, food just wasn't as safe as it is now.
The funniest part about the whole story is that it actually cost alot per unit to make because the entire thing was EXTREMELY over engineered due to price not at all being a consideration. It would be one thing if they sold you a $5 juicer for $400 and made $395 off it, but because they decided to design the most expensive way to squeeze a bag possible (likely to justify the massive investments) they likley made minimal profits due to the insane R/D, and overhead of having... 200 employees...

I really love this guy. His sarcasm is in no way, shape, or form overstated. I'd pay good money to hear him critique ANY modern car with ALL the worthless gadgetry they have just as a means to separate customers from their money. GREAT WORK!
Exactly, i thought point of juicer is to make juice from fruit, but this squeezes bag with juice, what the actual fuck ? It's like having 400 dollar machine to open your juice bottle.
This sounds like a printer but if it was programmed to make juice. Being as refillable ink cartridges are complete scams, from the ink making process down to the soft ware that exists in a cartridge to tell you (often misinformingly) that your ink cartridge is empty. Which it isn't, it's just a chip on the ink cartridge telling the printer to tell you that it is when it's half way empty rather than really empty. Imagine your juicer saying "Package empty, please get another. :D" and finding out there's at least a whole cup left in the package.

This is a machine that opens a package for you. You’re not _juicing_ anything. This is the same as buying a bottle of apple juice at the store and using a $400 machine to twist off the cap.
It's like buying scissors for more because it doesn't have annoying plastic packaging. Only to use that (higher priced) scissors to open scissor packaging that can be opened by hand. The machine is shit, I'm very mad.
I absolutely hate any and everything that makes you download an app. I’m so sick of downloading apps for everything- my phone literally never has enough memory. I can never remember my password and usernames.
@Mikayla W thats. so. uncivilized! YOU CANT CLOBBER A PLASTIC PACKET WITH A ROCK, YOU NEED A ROBOT TO CLOBBER IT FOR YOU WITH ITS OWN ROCK! kids these days! /s
I think the worst offender about this is that the whole design of putting a packet or something inside of it, closing it, and pressing a button so it could start juicing or pouring can literally be done by anybody and they can easily just leave out the whole app and wifi part of it and BAM there you go, its a simple juicer. All you just need to do: Step 1. Take out the juicer and packets and set it on a table or counter. Step 2. Connect it to a power outlet. Step 3. Place a packet inside of juicer Step 4. Press the button BOOM simple as that
I saw a vlog of a japanese woman who just uses her thumb to pop open a coffee capsule and pour it right into a cup. These machines are nothing but money sink.
Year 2025; World's greatest athlete ran across America in just 4 hours. The public wants to know; what internet connection is he using for his shoes???
The fact they go step by step from opening your package to showing you the juice is done is amazing. Almost like they're banking on people with absolutely no common sense on buying it.
It's a press. In the packages you have mashed veggies/fruits/shit and it just presses on it to squeeze out the juice from that mashed shit. You are then left with a remains of a shitty used drip bag filled with semi-dry remains of some sort of organic compound. You can do exactly the same with a kitchen grater, a veggie/fruit and something to mash the juice out of it, can be a simple plastic bag, a kitchen mortar or even just use a fucking 5$ juicer to do it.
In the amount of time she used to show how the phone app works, I could’ve juiced myself a cup of fresh grape juice in half the time and literally cleaned the juicer.
You can't just use your hands you have to buy prosthetic hands for $400 and register them to the app. It will reject your regular hands because they don't have a QR code.
Groovy Satan you meant 4000$ right? coz thats how much they normally cost. Also, my prosthetic arm automaticly sawed off my real arm with a chainsaw when i pressed the power button and the app to scan the qr code qr code (so the prosthetic arm can function) costs another 400$, i dont have any more money, what do i do?
Remember when a juicer could be entirety made out of glass or plastic with no moving parts or circuitry and adequately do the job of squeezing out fruit juice? Remember when one could simply pour juice from a package straight into a glass? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
5:15 Also, if the packets are expired, even by just a day, the machine will refuse to juice them. So you'd better hope your subscription packets arrive on time.
@jou Have you never cut a whole Juicero to squeeze some sweet Juicero juice out of the plastic parts? Literally all I drink, every morning. I press a Juicero juicer until I get its juice.
charlie didnt even show one of the funniest things imo, in the vid at the end they wanted you to rinse out the empty packets, put them back in the box, and SHIP THEM BACK for recycling. jesus christ im rolling
-Dad, why are we in the middle of the worst chip shortage of all times? -IDK, Son.

+W. if we talk stupid rich people, that is. smart rich people would never buy a useless thing no matter what kind of industry giant praises it. they value their money.
I read a couple articles and a few interviews with the then-CEO a couple months ago and it kinda changed my opinion about the dude: he seemed genuinely fascinated about that portion of the market. The problem is, he was too much in his own world and the machine was doing the opposite of what he envisioned: getting Americans in better health with fresh smoothies. It was just too expensive for its own good, and it became the prime example of the problem with Silicon Valley. The idea definitively had a lot of potential (juice makers are very expensive and hard to use, and pre-made smoothies aren't fresh enough according to the CEO, so the solution was to get the juice to be made at home but in a simple way), but the machine was too expensive. It was apparently very well build, but it was overbuilt. It would have been a much greater success if it'd have been priced at ~$100-$150.
can you fucking imagine: you go over to a friend’s house. they offer you fresh juice from their cool new juicer. you’re a little parched; and, hell, you love fresh juice. you accept, and watch your friend draw their phone from their pocket. “just a second,” they mutter, tapping on the screen. “i have to log in to the juicer”
I remember when I was a kid and my mom would always say I want to invent a stupid invention and make millions of dollars whenever she would see a useless dumb invention.
