Built like a tank....the juice it makes is velvety smooth,bursting with freshest flavors and aromas...if you are dedicated to taking 10 minutes to hand clean or using diswasher before pulp dries ...and enjoy fresh..then this is a great price for this juicer

Good juicer, but like #1 said it leaves a lot of pulp behind that needs to be deligently hand cleaned from all the parts. Then to get the full benefit from all the fruits and vegetables you've just juiced you'll need to make something edible of all that pulp. It comes with a booklet of recipe suggestions on what to do with the pulp. I have this juicer and my wife has a VitaMix blender. Although more expensive, I recommend the Vitamix for juicing over this. The Vitamix pulverizes everything so you get all the nutrients in one step and it's much easier to clean.
