Advantages: Makes fresh healthy Juice

Disadvantages: Takes forever to prepare the fruit and to clean the machine after use.

This was the first juicer I bought as I was new to juicing and after many different fads I didn't want to spend a fortune on equipment that I would never use, I have been using this Juicer for about six months now and up until recently I was happy with the quality of the juices and enjoying the feeling the juices were giving me. I wasn't enjoying the amount of time involved in preparing the fruit ready for juicing even small things like carrots or celery need to be chopped up prior to putting them in the machine otherwise they get stuck in the chute.
The motor seemed to be working well and as I was new to juicing and unsure of how much fruit was needed to make a glass of juice. I thought it was all fine. Now the worst bit of all was the cleaning, and regardless of following all the tips about using carrier bags to collect the pulp etc. It took ages to take it all apart the pulp ends up everywhere and I needed to use a toothpick to get all the bits out, not to mention a nail brush to scrub the mesh. But I thought it was normal and got on with it. It wasn't until I was around my friends house one day and she made me a juice in her juicer that I noticed just how rubbish my one was. She was putting whole apples in, all the pulp went into a jug so it was just emptied not a toothpick in sight and the amount of juice she got out of the fruit was so much more than I had been getting. I would say it is better to buy a better machine to start off with as you will save the money by not buying as much fruit and vegetables.

Summary: Would be better off paying a litter bit more money for a much better machine.
