I had been using my blender to make my juices and I was tired of having to strain it to get the pulp out so I wanted a juicer. I saw reviews and thought this would be the best affordable juicer but nope I ended up having to strain the juice still. You can’t make celery, pineapple or carrots just because it gets caught around the bottom of the press. And you have to cut up everything into small pieces.
