It's interesting that an alternative machine called JUISIR on Kickstarter/Indiegogo also uses a full surface press instead of rollers. (If multiple teams are avoiding rollers, there may be some non-obvious disadvantage with that configuration.)
Scroll down half way to see the gif animation of the mechanism: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1793272089/juisir-juicing-without-the-cleaning https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1793272089/juisir-juici...
It would be interesting to see if their engineering choices resulted in a much less expensive machine to manufacturer.

And remember, their target market are the kind of people who want to feel special by one-upping the other #rawvegan #fitspiration #healthnuts on social media.

My suspicion, if I put my engineering hat on and give them the benefit of the doubt, is it's an optimization for later. Right now, the purchased packs you can buy are effectively already juice. Later, you may want to make them less juicy so you can spend less time manufacturing the packs, but people will scream if you make them buy a new machine. So, your first machine out the chute needs to be way overengineered. Nevertheless, this machine design screams junior engineers.
