Advantages: Good build quality, fairly easy to clean, reliable and powerful motor

Disadvantages: Small chute, plastic stains over time, juicer vibrates if basket isnt emptied frequently

High quality juicer - I have been using for over 3 years with no problems. The pieces click together easily so it is very easy to assemble. Cleaning is the biggest chore with any juicer but isnt too stressful with the le Duo as they provide you with a spatula which scrapes out the mesh basket. it still takes 5 minutes to do but if done immediately after juicing it isn't too bad.

The motor handles pretty much whatever you chuck in there and is very robust.

Downsides:

As the product is white plastic it will stain over time.

The chute isn't as big as on many juicers, so with apples for example, I have to cut them into 6 pieces first. I dont mind doing this as the overall juicer quality is very good.

The basket gets full very wuickly and needs emptying, otherwise the juicer starts to vibrate and rock a lot when the pulp waste is unevenly distributed inside. I need to empty it after making every 2 glasses of juice to stop it rocking.
