4.0 out of 5 stars
got what i paid for, August 21, 2009
i too bought this on the lightning deal, and yes the chute is small, and if your not quick w the pusher, you will have juice and even whole pieces of fruit fly out.
what i like about it is it cleans up fast, and the juice is good. other juicers i have used were way more expensive and took way to long to clean,
if you read the directions, it clearly states fruit and veggies must be cut(you do not have to peel citrus as one person said) to size, this is a personal juicer, not really good for serving 2 or more people, i have used it every day, i drink the juice, then clean all parts, and for the money, i am satified.
and in truth, it is worth 109$, just understand, juicing is a messy, multistep process, so be prepared to spend 10-20 minutes to make your juice and clean your mess.
this machine works really well with
beet, carrots, lemons, limes, apples and pears, i have found it to work better with more firm fruits, and the booklet tells you it does not work well with leafy items.
as always do you research, and if you find a faster, easier to clean, cheaper juicer w stainless steal blades, by all means, let us know.

Worked well for 2 weeks, August 10, 2009
I bought this as a lightning deal product and initially was excited about it. I successfully juiced both fruits and vegetables and was planning on finally getting my recommended number of servings each day. Clean up was pretty easy and operation was simple. Yes, you have to cut up most large items and need to remove skin from things like citrus fruit and pineapples, but that didn't bother me.
Once during the operation (as the last juice was coming out of the chute), I could hear the motor slowing down. Since I was done juicing, I turned it off and didn't think much of it. A few days later, it died completely while juicing seedless grapes. There is almost nothing that would put less of a load on the juicer, which makes me believe this is a poorly made unit. There is a button on the bottom to reset the unit, but pushing that didn't help at all. It is going back to Amazon now rather than having to test the warranty from the manufacturer. I may try the Jack Lalanne version, but there are some quality issues reported about that one too, so maybe juicing isn't meant for me.

I like the stainless steel; but, read on:, August 3, 2009
The stainless steel touches the juice instead of plastic (plastic can be toxic) I like the stainless steel. But, the truth is that this juicer has a very small feed chute that measures only a little over an inch at its smallest diameter. So you have to chop every fruit and vegetable up into very small pieces.
After you put it in if the juicer is spinning, the particles will jump out of the feed chute and hit you in the face; so, you have to put the food in; then start the juicer and turn it off every time.
It rapidly spits almost the entire contents of the food into the pulp container and leaves you with a very small amount of juice.
