I bought a juicer years ago... That one was cheap  and works well but truth is that I am too lazy to clean all the grates and had no idea what to do with the pulp. The DASH juicer solves my problems! Its small and compact but still works rather well and a lot less fruit waste!! I am a single person and this small size is much easier for me to store and use. Plus the aqua color is sort of my thing! Love it!
