i've had simple juicers that were tedious and a pain to clean. life is so much better with a power juicer. i was torn between this and the breville, but i am glad that i got this one. i noticed some people complain that it requires cutting of the fruit and that cleaning is a hassle. i do cut apples in half, but big deal? and maybe it's because i usually juice oranges, apples and carrots, but i haven't run in to any issues. it takes a little longer than blending smoothies, but it's worth it!5 out of 5 found this review helpful.

The stainless model is easy to clean up, just in the sink under the sprayer. Tlhe only issue that I have had is the drain hole for the juice is small and some soft apples tend to clog it with foam. Overall I have been pleased with the product.3 out of 5 found this review helpful.

use this juicer a couple of days its sturdy, easy to disassemble and assemble back. easy to clean when its fresh. but only problem is there is too much pulp left over and sometimes big chunks of it too, its not getting the full juice out.5 out of 6 found this review helpful.

Want Juice? Buy a blender instead.3

Makes good juice. The shoot can accommodate most sizes of fruit, however you will find yourself cutting some in half so that it can fit. Mine also is making a funny noise after after about 6 months of use. This product is also messy, you may find yourself picking up little pieces of fruit off of the kitchen floor.
The major drawl back is that this product takes 10-15 minutes to clean and MUST be cleaned after every single use. You will need the extra energy gained from juicing to clean this product, because you have to disassemble the product before cleaning it ( the lower half of the juicer is not water proof) .
You may also find yourself not wanting to juice because of the ridiculous clean up process. You pretty much have to be Jack Lalanne to be motivated enough to use this juicer.
My brother bought a blender that is more versatile (can make smoothies) and takes WAY less time to clean. The blender was also 100$ cheaper than my juicer. My brother also owns a juicer, and says he has same results with his cheap blender. Don't waste your time, get a nice blender instead.10 out of 14 found this review helpful.

The juicer works great but I think they should remove the word smoothy from the description because you can't make one with this juicer. You have to use a blender. I love how easy it is to clean up and it fits perfect on the countertop.3 out of 3 found this review helpful.

I'm so excited I finally got this power juicer. I've been wanting one forever! This product does exactly what it says...and the juice is wonderful tasting. It does make a lot of pulp when you juice, which I just throw away since I don't cook. But if you do cook, it would be excellent for muffins, bread, etc-depending on what veggies or fruits you juice with. I love this thing. Cleaning up is kind of a pain, but worth it. Just don't expect to make some juice and be out the door in less than 20 minutes. Upside to cleaning--it comes apart easily and washes out with minimal scrubbing.3 out of 4 found this review helpful.

Got this at Costco over a year ago and discovered upon opening that the key to remove the basket for cleaning was not included. Company was very snippy and ugly about this face. Then I ordered the part and they sent me a totally useless set of add-ons, which was also expensive. Then finally they sent the key which is easy to lose. Very disappointed in everything in connection with this juicer and I've had several other juicers over a period of 50 years. This was horrible.6 out of 19 found this review helpful.
