I wanted a way to juice fresh fruits. It is not too large and doesn't take up a lot of space. This juicer works so well and is quick to juice. If the pulp fills up while juicing you just need to remove most of it before continuing. It is really simple to clean. It took me less than 5 minutes to fully clean after making juice. Cleaning immediately definitely helps so the pulp doesn't have time to dry and harden in it. There are only a few separate parts and they come apart easily. This makes a great, fresh glass of juice quickly with little to no pulp. I am so impressed with this juicer.
