I like that this juicer takes up less storage room than my other. I also like that all the pieces (except the stand with the cord) can go in my dishwasher. We have used it with cucumbers, apples, pears, and carrots so far. The pulp is effectively separated and the juice is strained well. As noted in the instruction booklet, it does have a very short cord (apparently it's safer this way), so I am limited on where I can use it without an extension cord. The opening for produce is smaller, so a little more prep work is needed to cut smaller pieces. I wish it had a way to suction it to the countertop because I get nervous that it'll move and tip over the glass under the spout where the juice comes out, even though I do use two hands). Since we only have 2 in our family who like to juice, this juicer works well because it's smaller and easier to clean.
