I have enjoyed my juicer. There was a little leakage when I first started using it, but it has actually decreased over time. I make sure everything is on nice and tight. The pulp comes out pretty dry and if need be I run the pulp through a second time. My daughter likes the zucchini, strawberry, lemon juice the best, so that has been main recipe. Arrived prompted over Christmas break so I had a good bit of time to play with it before heading back to work and school.
