I had a juicer before but unfortunately I can not recall the name brand. After many years 10+ of using it, it gave up on me and so I was forced into getting another one. After reading many reviews and doing searches I went for this one. I do not like it all. It does not extract all the juice like the previous one that I had. The left over of the fruit or vegetable stays inside occupying more space and therefore you have to constantly be cleaning it out. Definitely not worth it wouldnt recommend either.
