I got this juicer as a gift, the first time I used it I thought I had did something wrong. But as I continue to use it to see if I get better juice results it's still the same. It does not give a lot of juice as advertised, it does not blend all of the fruits, still have big chunks of fruits left in the gratter. Although I appreciate the gesture of my gift I wish they would have put the money to a better juicer.
