Nutribullet is a good brand and we’ve used the blender for a couple years now with no problem. Their products work and they last. This juicer is a nice addition and it really does everything it promises on being quiet! Cleaning it is a hassle though. I just don’t know how else you could make this step any better. Bottom line is that you would have a hard time cleaning any juicer, so it’s just part of life. Happy with this one :)
