I really love the size and the fact that it is a mastication juicer. I bought this for the compactness.      I dont like that I have to chop stringier items, like celery, very small. If its not chopped very small, the strings wrap around the auger and it gets clogged. The exit hole for the pulp is so tiny, it gets backed up easily. I have used a set of mini pliers to pull the stringy pulp out when it gets jammed.     Sometimes the lid is hard to twist off because of the matter in the auger chamber is reducing the ability for it to slide. And I think as it heats up it sticks with expansion.    Being that it is so compact, it has a small chute, and things have to be chopped small. I wish I had a funnel to go around the mouth of it to make putting things, like sprouts, easier to put in.    Overall, Id probably invest in a bigger juicer for the larger batches i want to make, and use this as a quick juice option.
