Summary: In my opinion, this juicer seems over priced. I am also concerned about the quality/safety. The first time I ran the juicer (before putting anything through) I smelt burning. This juicer is loud, messy, and scary at times. There have been numerous times where it seems like the motor goes out of control, the juicer starts frantically moving on the counter and the off button doesn't work. In these instances I unplug it, clean it and restart it-note I rarely use the food pusher so overloading it is not the cause. In hindsight, i'd spend the extra 40$ and get a Breville. I am debating on returning it if I still can Noise: This juicer is louder than a vacuum, it's obnoxious and unbelievable. It gets even louder when juicing harder vegetables. Even when I try to yell over it to talk, the juicer is much louder than my voice. If that is an issue for you, do not get this juicer. Mess: I read many reviews saying that it's messy. I thought the customers were being dramatic, but they were not lying. There is an air vent (a large hole) near where the pulp gets shot out. While the pulp is getting shot into the container, it also gets shot all over you and your kitchen. It's absolutely ridiculous and there is no way around it except to cover it with a bag. Such a disgraceful design. You also have to be careful that the cover is perfectly aligned or pulp will also shoot out from the crevices between the cover and machine...joy. Yield: The yield is pretty good actually. Only issue is with certain fruits (oranges, strawberries, etc.) and spinach. In my experience there is an insanely poor yield for these. Otherwise I find that it extracts a fair amount of juice. Most will say that fruit shouldn't be juiced anyway for this reason, so this point may be irrelevant. Waste: This largely depends on what you are juicing, but I do find that the majority of my pulp is damp. When I juice fruit, the waste is incredibly wet. I also do see the occasional large chunk of produce. For the most part, the produce is ground into very small pieces. Size/aesthetics: This juicer is fairly large/tall and takes up a lot of counter space. The stainless steel cover looks nice and modern though. Clean up: I have had juicers that are more difficult to clean, but due to the fact that this one shoots pulp all over, the clean up is fairly extensive. There are only 5 parts that need to be cleansed and all are easily dis/assembled and rinsed. The supplied brush also makes cleaning the screen fairly easy and fast. Speed: Two speeds are nice, but there is very little difference in them. Without pushing the produce, this juicer speed is fair. The produce also gets caught in the chamber frequently or gets spit out. Safety/manufacturer claims: As I mentioned above, I have smelt burning from this juicer a couple times for no apparent reason. Every time I have shut it off and restarted it and have not smelt it again. A few times, randomly the juicer has panic attacks. The motor will suddenly get very fast, the juicer will move on the counter, and none of the speed/off switches will work. The first time it happened it was really scary. I had to unplug it and it took the motor about a minute to shut off. This has happened both when there is nothing in the chamber and also whilst juicing. Also, the "big mouth" hasn't been large enough for any apple that i've bought thus far however small. I tend to cut all of my produce anyway to prevent juicer panic attacks. All in all I wouldn't recommend this juicer. If you plan on only using it occasionally, and do not have children that will be put at risk by the safety concerns then maybe. If juicers are cars, this would probably be a Suzuki.
