I am a first time juice extractor user and frankly, if I had bought this, I would consider returning it.  There are 5 different compartments that need cleaning every time. 4 of the 5 are an easy clean up, the cutter/strainer not so much. I should say that I do not have a dishwasher, so I’m cleaning by hand. As you can see in the pics, I used 2 lg apples and a small carrot and got back approximately 10oz of juice. Seemed to me like a lot of work for a small amount of juice. Also, there are no easy recipes included like a lot of product manuals will have. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
