Yet, I got a first look at the product and can safely say that this juicer lives up to the Vitamix name.

Announced on Monday and available for purchase on Oct. 15, the MaxExtract Cold Press Juicer uses slow-masticating technology to extract juice from fruits, veggies and leafy greens.

The MaxExtract is easy to operate Assembling the juicer took less time and effort than I expected.

By comparison, the MaxExtract is narrower and shallower than the $599 Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer, which measures 17.7 by 9.8 by 9 inches and weighs 12.1 pounds.
