This machine exceeded my expectations! It is unbelievably quiet, the juice is yummy & healthy, the pulp is good for smoothies & soups, and cleanup is a piece of cake -- nothing is greasy, so you just scrape the pulp into your storage container, rinse the parts, brush the screen with the included veggie brush, & put it in the dish drainer. Why bother with the dishwasher? One tip: buy the cheap bags of the little apples. Another tip: if multiple people want different kind of juices, do the simple sweet ones first, followed by anything savory or exotic -- then clean just once. My goal is to use it at least once a day ... I think I'll go buy some tomatoes right now!
