I’m just imagining that juice maker, that just smashed to plates together to pour juice from a bag. And it took forever to actually pour. There was absolutely no reason for it to be smart. Except so that it could make sure you knky bought juice from them.
I read this as “kinky” instead of “only” and it made just as much sense in context. I’m not normally one to kink-shame, but you’ve gotta be pretty fucking weird to want a Juicero.
AvE also did a teardown of that. It has a huge CNC machined plate that’s completely unnecessary. Rolling the bag to squeeze it would have worked fine for a fraction of the price. As it was, they were probably paying over $1000 of manufacturing cost when it retailed for $400. This necessitated making up the difference on the juice packets–the razer blade and printer ink model–but that didn’t materialize.
That thing was a joke from so many different angles.

Yeah, I haven’t seen inside, I just know that even from someone who does like some smart products, that was a complete waste.
