The Juice extractor is a fine additon to my kitchen. Rather then having coffee or soda in the morning, I use this item for carrot juicee, bannana juice and other fruits. This takes me to a well, healthy start in the morning. This is a go gather for me and it perks me up better then coffee. To clean is easy but what you need to keep in mind is to use a plastic bag to collect the pulp and other parts of fruits you are creating. It disassembles easy and it is easy to clean and put back to use. I would not suggest it for children use, but if an adult is present, the child will learn how healthy the fruit or vegetables will be.
