I have had the opportunity to use the Black and Decker 400W Rapid Juice Extractor for several weeks prior to this review. It’s been awhile since I’ve prepared my own juice, and I must say, I don’t know why I stopped! I’ve tried quite a few different fruit and veggie combinations now, and they’re all so refreshing! This juicer is easy to use. I felt it did a fairly good job of extracting the liquid from the fruit as the leftover pulp was quite dry. Cleanup was not too difficult either. I found the noise made by the machine to not be too loud or obnoxious as to disturb my family. I have been trying all sorts of methods to eat healthier and incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables into my diet, and this handy machine has done the job!
