I have a small kitchen and wanted a compact juicer I could store easily. The juicer is compact but its a powerhouse. It juiced the apples, kale, and carrots no issue. It's quiet and I did have an issue with cleaning but not so that I would not recommend. It has an opening for the juice and another for the pulp. That opening is small but it is a compact juicer so I understand why.  One button to turn on, it comes with a cleaning brush. Overall I feel this is a win for me and I'm happy with my  juicer.
