The Black and Decker Juice Extractor is easy to use. This product makes it simple to juice. There is a locking mechanism on either side to product against any accidents. The two black pieces on the side need to be locked in place before being able to use the juice extractor. The blade on the cutter is very sharp so care is needed when cleaning it after use. I really like that the pulp container is large enough when juicing so it does not have to be continually emptied. The juicing takes place quickly so I think the most work comes with cleaning the unit. The juice is so good, smooth and creamy. YUM [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
