I’ve put just about every fruit I could think of in this thing. I’ve tried, bananas, apples, grapes, oranges, blueberries & it’s juice them all without a problem. The cleaning was actually fairly easy. It comes apart easy into about 4 washable plastic pieces. The only thing that took more than a quick wash was the filter, but wasn’t too bad as long as you wash as soon as you done. The rest just rinsed off really easy. From some experimenting I figure some fruits may be easier to clean than others. As far as the juicer juicing, it’s amazing. No complaints whatsoever. My kids love experimenting with fruit combos, so it’s a winner in my book.
