We just got this based on many good reviews. We loved how affordable it was. Our only reason for purchasing it was to make celery juice. It worked great for two days, but then days 3 and 4, it struggled more and more to the point that it took two of us to twist off the lid. We did nothing differently to cause this level of problems. It also took a really long time to get all the parts fully cleaned. We'll be returning it. It may work well for other varieties of produce, and it was relatively quiet, and very easy to clean those first two days.
