It's exactly what I was looking for at a price I was willing to spend.
For the price of this juicer, it's fantastic. I personally got it for like 50 dollars, and used gift cards so I lucked out big time. I mostly bought this juicer because I have a bad habit of buying too much produce and letting it go to waste. (I also wanted to make my own v8 juice, but tomatoes aren't in season and I'm holding out for good tomatoes.) Since I've gotten it I've juiced clementines (a lot of clementines--i have an unhealthy clementine addiction), oranges, Carrots, Lemons, spinach, Kale, apples, Cucumbers, celery, ginger and random other things. I haven't had any problems yet. Once when I first got it I over stuffed it with kale and spinach before I turned it on and it took a second, but it got juicing alright. You have to be quick with the juice plunger thing, because I've threw in a clementine and I got splattered. My fault, I know, I didn't follow instructions.
Clean up is a slight pain (as is with all juicers) but I find the metal mesh part is best to...
cheap, cracked!
i'm embarrassed on how little i paid for this juicer....i thought what the heck,.....it lasted a month and the whole top cracked. i managed to use it for a few more weeks and then another crack caused the whole top to break. you get what you pay for! i'm opting for another juicer that is more more heavy duty, perhaps an omega. sam's club took it back no problem. i think it would do ok for light speed soft fruits/veggies. did terrible with oranges and carrots.
Love this little powerhouse!
I bought this as a demo at Sam's for $30 and couldn't wait to use it. It didn't have any paperwork with it, though, and I had never juiced before, so I just make up my own juice "recipes". I had not been eating the veggies I should eat, so I figured this would be the way to get my veggie nutrition. I just throw in whatever I like - usually 3 Romaine lettuce leaves, a carrot, a celery rib, a handful of baby spinach/mixed greens, and a piece of fruit (apple, pear, etc.). I change it up every day so that I won't get bored. Sometimes I add 1/2 a freshly cut beet, 1/2 a peeled lemon, and/or 1/2 a tomato. The only adjustment I have made is to put in the apple or pear last, because they kind of make "applesauce" (or "pearsauce") on the screen and I felt that the other juices couldn't get through. I have kept a little "juicing diary" every day of what I juice, and haven't found one that I didn't like. I've even added a freshly peeled chunk of ginger or a radish or even a small whole zucchini...
