This is the first juicer I've ever owned so I wasn't sure what to expect. We used some common household fruits and veggies like apples, bananas, kale, etc. It seems to work well and get as much juice as possible from the produce. It's pretty loud but I guess it would have to be on a motor this strong. Cleaning up is about what I imagined. It's as easy as it could be but still messy since it is fruit pulp. I'll be making more healthy drinks with this for a long time
