This is a pretty neat machine!  I decided to start with something simple and just use an apple (the instructions do have some recipes you can try too).  I took it upon myself to cut the apple into smaller pieces just to make sure it all fits. I added a few pieces of the apple and turn the machine on. One thing in the instruction book it does say if you can put a bag in the collection compartment It makes clean up easier, I put a Ziploc and clean up was a breeze even though there wasn't much that didn't get juiced.  
After juicing the whole apple I took it apart to see how easy it was to clean and I was cleaned and put back together within 5 minutes.  Very easy to juice very easy to clean will use it again!!
