A Wi-Fi-connected press that would only squeeze the company's own QR-coded produce packs, launched at $699 and cut to $399 within a year. Reporters showed the packs could be squeezed by hand almost as well, and the company shut down in September 2017, leaving the press with nothing to press.
This entry is written from the 5 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
The pattern in the sources is regret. Only 5% of owners say they would buy it again, and satisfaction falls from 6.0 to 0.0 out of 10 by the two-year mark.
Owners still depended on the company's weekly pack deliveries. In April 2017 Bloomberg's hand-squeeze test badly damaged the product's reputation, and in September 2017, about 18 months after launch, pack sales ended, leaving the machine with nothing to press.
Pack sales ended in September 2017, so the press could no longer be used as intended. The press lasted on sale only about 18 months from its March 2016 launch. No way to juice your own produce or choose your own flavors.
It is a real product that works, but its launch reception (85 out of 100 for hype) ran well ahead of how owners feel about it later. Pack sales ended in September 2017, so the press could no longer be used as intended. That gap is what the regret score measures.
Worth it for: Startup-history collectors; Engineering teardown fans; Nobody buying for juice today. Think twice if: Anyone who wants fresh juice; People without reliable wi-fi; Buyers wanting to use their own produce.

Reports that Juicero stopped selling the press and packs immediately, gave owners 90 days to request a refund, and sent subscribers one final delivery.
A syndicated Bloomberg report describing a test in which squeezing packs by hand gave nearly as much juice as the $400 machine, sometimes faster, and explaining the online QR and expiration check on each pack.
Summarizes a Bolt teardown that found the press built like a tank and heavily overengineered, with over two dozen parts in the door lock alone, which made its price look less absurd; the article also says the company appears to have done little market research.
Gives the timeline: launched March 2016 at $699, cut to $399 in January 2017 after slow sales, packs at $5 to $7 with Wi-Fi verification, and shut down from September 2017.
A blogger who was given a free press loved the taste and the lack of cleanup, but noted it needs Wi-Fi and cannot make custom flavors.
