Nice juicer, let down,smaller that expected.

It is so good I would recommend you to buy it

Right off the bat there's quite a list of items in the manual that this juicer shouldn't be used for. Among them are fibrous fruits and vegetables that including pineapples and celery, since there's no metal blade to chop them up and the fibres tend to get caught in the filter (I tested this out and discovered it to be painfully true). Remember that this is a masticating juicer, so the plastic auger moves very slowly and simply grinds the material against the filter wall.As for operation, it's super easy to use and nowhere near as loud as a blender or professional juicer. The pulp that comes out of the chute is pretty much identical to the one in the photo - fairly dry and resembling a piece of bubble tape - and the juice isn't perfectly clear, so there's still a tiny bit of bulk to it. Unfortunately, since the auger moves so slowly, it does tend to back up a bit if you stuff too much material in at one time. The recommended continuous operation time is no more than 10 minutes so it can sometimes be difficult to fit everything in that time frame, especially with the intermittent pauses to reverse the auger and clear clogs. But once the juice cup is completely full, that about hits the time limit.Now to the annoying part - cleaning. Like most juicers, it's comprised of multiple parts that require disassembly before cleaning each one in turn. And there are quite a few. Fortunately, the parts are all fairly small and if you're only going to be using it for water soluble materials, you may not even have to use soap every time. A good rinse could suffice. I will say this - the little included brush is a godsend. The plastic bristles are very stiff and do well to get any stuck material out of the filter. There's also an extra auger included in case the first one gets damaged, but I've honestly had no problems so far. Just be careful not to use tough materials like carrots, ginger or seeds. Soft fruits like bananas and papayas can also clog the filter. Like I said, it's limited.Otherwise, it works quite well for crispy fruits and vegetables. Skinned apples, pears, peaches (pitted obviously), kiwi, lemon and berries of all types work perfectly fine and I even use the pulp in salads and spreads so nothing is wasted. Of course I still use my single-serve blender just as often whenever I need fibrous material chopped up; but even then, if I don't feel like dehydrating the pulp, it goes right into the juicer and it does it for me. Win-win. Sure, there's a bit more cleaning, but it's minimal compared to pressing pulp through a strainer.Kinda wish the plug for the juice chute had a better joint and it came with another filter, but otherwise, I can't really complain. If the instructions are followed, it does the job and the juice tastes fantastic. For me, it's a staple for making homemade popsicles for the kids in the summer. Juice goes into the freezer and the pulp goes into my breakfast. No more fruit sitting around until it rots. Plus there are no dangerously sharp blades to clean. Profile is slim, the motor isn't too loud and it's easy to use. If it wasn't so limited in what it could grind and included more metal components, it'd probably get full marks. For now, it's sufficient and that's good enough for me.

As I've aged, I have begun focusing on using food as medicine. I wanted a masticating juicer at an affordable price. I juice once per day. This juicer is perfect for making my fresh morning juice. The clean-up is fast and the unit is easy to assemble and take apart. The unit doesn't juice as fast as larger units, but the mess is significantly less and more than does the job. I highly recommend this juicer!

I wanted something small that I could easily store with my limited cabinet space and this is perfect. You have to cut up and remove the skin from certain things you put in it, but that the price of a smaller juicer. It’s still powerful and does a good job!Sometimes, I have to process things twice, like carrots, by putting the pulp back through to get all the juice out but it’s not a big deal
