I have to say I was anticipating this juicer to be quiet since that’s what’s written all over the box, however I was disappointed to learn that this juicer is definitely not quiet. It’s not any louder than any other juicer I’ve used, but it’s not quieter either. It was pretty easy to clean if you clean is right after use. I don’t recommend the leave it to soak method. It comes with a brush and thank god because that strainer part was impossible to clean without it. It juices just like any other. It’s not that bulky and ticks away nice. I wish the cord was a little longer though.
