I bought this product last year and only now have used it frequently enough to conclude its a disappointment. 1. It doesn't juice enough, I have to juice the pulp 2/3 times to get enough juice 2. The top is brittle and gets grated 3. The unit overheates and smel like smoke 4. It cannot handle  hard items like coconuts and carrots It basically dry chops them and make a whole lot of noise. Very disappointed.
