I purchased this juicer because I have to watch my sugar intake and fresh squeezed OJ is healthier than store bought. On the plus side, it doesn't take up too much counter space, its simple to use and you can regulate the amount of pulp you want in the juice. On the negative side, you have to squeeze a LOT of oranges to get a 4 oz. glass of juice and it is a pain to get the pulp out of the strainer. So, I usually squeeze a whole bag of oranges at one time and store it in the fridge instead of juicing every morning...saves on cleanup time and my OJ is always nice and cold.
