- WheelsAtLarge 9y agoAbout 30+ years ago my local supermarket had a machine that would take a box of oranges and make juice out of it and it would pour it right into a bottle. All for less than $400.00. You would set it and walk away. It was fun to watch it go. Much better than what this machine seems to do. New tech does not guarantee new and better ideas. This is a prime example.
