I really had doubts about juicing. So i figured why not give it a try. One because out granddaughter does NOT like vegetables. So we decided this would be a great way to hide them. She loves her special drinks. The juicer is easy to use. One great thing is that in the user manual they give you some recipes to try out. Thank you for that. It is compact and on a hot day you may only want a drink instead of something heavy. So why not a healthy homemade juice!
