Overall this isn't a bad juicer depending on what you expect from a juicer. With harder fruits and vegetables it can be more like a shredder than a juicer. I love OJ with a lot of pulp. But when I'm using carrots in a juice recipe, I prefer not to have a grainy texture. I found that apples are fairly similar, but a bit more palatable for my taste. I will say that this is EXTREMELY easy to clean which is a huge plus as that's not something that you find with every type of juicer. I'd say that for the price point, I'd probably look for a better option unless you are going to be using foods that are more fleshy and less hard.
