If I bought this a few months ago, would have saved 100's. Waited too long, instead the price went up.
I have some dark purple sugarcane and works great on them, quite a thick cane too. Also have some green/yellow cane and works great on them as well. I tried both with the cane skins intact and shaved skins. Works fantastically and highly recommend the machine. I bought this for home use, I know that sounds a bit much but what's the point of growing sugarcane to drink and ended up you can't drink it cause of the prep takes up so much efforts for home user. I had a friend said, did you buy a sugarcane machine just for sugarcane? Umm yeah silly, what's the point of growing it if you can't drink it as first planned, and secondly hence the machine name, sugarcane machine for sugarcanes. You not going to buy a sausage machine for sugarcane are you? De-friend..haha. Seriously, if you initially grown sugarcane to drink and you don't have a machine, I can tell you now, you never gonna drink it. Get the machine, it's worth it's weigh!
