I've never had a juicer before; I was given this for my birthday, and it's lots of fun! It's surprisingly satisfying just to make different juices, zapping fruits and veggies through this machine, which runs pretty quietly and is v easy to use. The two speed settings are useful for harder or softer items.

I've also found that it's a great way to use up tired veggies - you know the ones you buy to make you feel all virtuous but don't really get round to using? Just zap them and drink them down! Plus almost no preparation, just a little chopping so that they fit, and remove any big stones from things like peaches. The recipes provided range from the delicious to the bizarre, esp the names of some of the drinks - Lung Tonic, anyone? - and it's also fun to experiment, I've found that adding an apple or orange can rescue pretty much everything. Only downside here is you can't do bananas as they'd clog up the machine - I guess I'll need a blender too.

It's also easy to take apart, but a bit of a palaver to clean with four separate parts. Follow their advice and line the pulp collector with a plastic bag, that will save you a lot of time.

This is my first juicer, and so far I've been quite happy with it. I've juiced many different things from apples to lemons to pears, kiwi, and strawberries. The juice is quickly, and efficiently separated from the fruit. There is no fear of pulp in your beverage with this baby! At least half of your time using the juicer will be spent cleaning the unit, which isn't that difficult. Most of the parts are dishwasher safe, but I find that spraying them down in the sink to rinse them off works well for the most part. The accompanying book contains many juice "recipes", which can be quite useful, but I've found that experimentation has been the most fun. Overall, I don't think you can find a more comprehensive and convenient juicer for the price.

We were pleansantly surprised by this little juice extractor. Seems to have excellent power; considerably quieter than some other juicers and quite easy to clean and for us....the price was right! We love it and hope to use it most every day.

Juicers are cool, untill you have to clean them. but I didn't know that before I wasted 80 bucks. that's why I'm telling you this right now. Like you, I was all excited about getting a juicer. I ran home and started making juice. And everything was good...until I had to clean it. Now, I don't have a dish washer, so I do things by hand. And cleaning this by hand is a pain!

Also, an other good thing to know about juicers and the juice they make, is that in order for the juice that you made to be healty, you MUST drink it right when you make it. Also, you have to drink VERY slowly. This is because the saliva in your mouth help break down the food before it gets into your stomach. And in order for you to get all the vitamins you juiced, you have to drink slowly.

All this stuff makes my juicer more of a pain then a salvation. If you want to drink healthy, I recommend you go to your local store, spend 2 bucks and buy a bottle of V-8
