I got this unit for my parents who do a lot of traveling in a trailer. They wanted a smaller unit to take with them on the road, and this guy is less than half the size of their juicer at home. When trying this juicer out we immediately noticed that the efficiency of this juicer is definitely less than the more expensive models. This is the main reason for giving it 4 stars because despite this unit being an exceptional value, you will eventually start to lose money as you need to feed it more produce to get the same amount of juice. Especially with rising food prices. However, if you are just getting into juicing and not sure it's something you want to take on long term, then this model is great way to start as it's an exceptional value.
