Not what I expected. Very disappointed.
So disappointed with this juicer. I did so much research on juicers, as I didnt have enough to buy an Omega,Champion or Hurom. I really liked this ones write up and wanted it to be true so when it came up on amazon lightening deal I took the chance. WORST DECISION EVER.<br /><br />This juicer at first un boxing seems very sturdy. However, while the auger housing where you feed the fruit locks in tightly but the auger doesn't. The screen also nice quality, fits tightly and the end locks on well. Ok, cool. It looks nice.<br /><br />The chute is small in diameter so you have to cut up things pretty small. So prep takes a while.<br />The write up says you can juice a cup in a minute. So I turn the machine on and it isn't very loud until you start feeding it. It chomps up everything but shakes the whole feeding/pour out piece and makes this squeeking noise while shaking. It takes about 8 minutes to make a cup of juice not 1 as stated in the write up for the juicer.<br />It is pretty mediocre with any leafy stuff...<br />You can do the roll up with kale or spinach and try to follow up with something more juicy like an apple but it usually ends up clogging or getting wrapped around the auger. Kale you def have to remove that big stem in the middle.<br />Ironically, it comes with a little recipe book and gives a recipe for celery juice.<br />I truly can't even imagine how long or if this machine could even make a cup of celery juice. Ive added some all 3 times Ive juiced and cut it into little 1/4 inch squares. Teeny tiny. And it still clogs the screen after a few minutes.<br />Juicing beets I found that I coukd very easily re-juice the pulp it comes out so wet.<br /><br />Ok. So overall, today was my 3rd time making a batch of juice and my yield was less than last time and the significantly less than the first.<br />I've used the exact same number and kinds of fruit/veg.<br />So, inconclusion, it's inexpensive for a reason. I really hoped this would be a better juicer.<br />Perhaps I got a dud.<br />Returning this unit asap and will continue to research or continue to save to buy an Omega or Champion.
