Yeah, cop that juicer. IF it lasts, I will consider it one of my best purchases ever. Full sized chute, tight discard so the counter isn't all messy, pretty quite. I can seriously juice three apples and a lemon in 30 seconds. Got mine at Macy's for $130.00. As far as the skins go, oh yeah, ONLY organic. I figure I still eat crap 30% of the time, so when I'm feeding my body, I'll use nothing else. I drove 5 hours to get a case of oranges a couple of days ago, and today I threw the first 3 in. They were soft, beat up feeling, ugly as all heck, and DELICIOUS!!! I got about 15 ounces of juice from them.
