Juicero you mean? That was a great success... /s

Funnily enough, Juicero is a great example of a rugged product. It had ridiculously over-engineered mechanicals and a very beefy motor. The whole concept was silly and the business model was ridiculous, but it was built to last!
Does it even work without a cloud subscription? And doesn't it require a supply of special containers?
I mean, the whole idea of an internet-connected device to squeeze a juice pouch is silly, and I’m sure the additional DRM makes them worthless, but the mechanical engineering was apparently well-done: https://blog.bolt.io/juicero/
