This juicer is the essence of what a good compact juicer should be. It does not take up too much space. The juicer worked straight out of the box. I love the fact that this juicer is compact . If you choose to buy this product I would advise the buyer to acknowledge that they will have to prepare their fruits and vegetables but chopping them up into smaller
 pieces before being able to feed them through this particular juicer. Overall great product at a amazing price
