 Works as Advertised March 12, 2010
Liberty G (Providence, RI)
Although I haven't had the juice extractor very long, so far it has worked fine to produce veggie juice from carrots, celery and beets.
I bought this one because I wanted the stainless steel components instead of plastic - which can leach toxic chemicals into food.
Cleaning the extractor is not especially difficult, once you figure out that you need to turn the parts to take them out.
 Yeesh. Why did I buy this junk? March 6, 2010

Sometimes you have to learn the hard way.
First - this thing doesn't juice all that efficiently. Wanna find that out for real? Go buy a GOOD juicer, and use it. This thing starts looking like a massive waste of time and money the moment you try a better juicer.
Next - think this is a good price? Think again. The lid on the pulp container is stupidly designed with an easily broken protrusion on the bottom right which acts as a safety - the juicer will not turn on unless the lid is on. Of course, when that protrusion breaks, it won't turn on then either. Replacements are $12 or so, plus shipping. Note that I got mine from an Amazon Store called "Small Appliance". Don't get me started. They suck beyond all human comprehension, but at least they called me a week after I'd already bought a better product. Hey: They may not be good, but they sure are slow!
The replacements do not fit. So you get an RMA and ship the replacement back (your dime) and get another replacement...
That does not fit. How the heck did this happen? Waring only has one part like this anywhere, ever, and it doesn't fit? So I get a lot of shipping charges to return the ill-fitting cover, and by now I have spent enough to buy a better product in the first place.
TL;DR: Don't. Spend a little more. You'll be happier, it'll waste less, and it'll last longer.
 great juicer February 28, 2010

this is the second juicer I have owned. The prior juicer was white plastic and stained orange from the carrots. This juicer is stainless steel, so I won't have that problem. I love this juicer so far. I've only had it a short time but it easily juices carrots, celery and apples. And clean-up is relatively easy. The only part that takes any time is the mesh basket. You have to make sure you get all the pulp out of the tiny holes. I have found no problem using the little brush that was included with the juicer, but I have a larger, sturdier backup vegetable brush I can also use.
Assembling and disassembling the juicer is easy too. The recipe list that comes with the juicer isn't that great, but I kept the recipe book from my prior juicer, which has good recipes. Or you can always pick up a book for juicing.
The only thing that may be a deterrent for some people is the size of the pulp container, which is a lot smaller than my prior juicer. For me, it's not a problem since I am the only person in my family who uses the juicer. But if someone has a big family and makes lots of juice, you may have to empty the pulp more often. Also, since the pulp is contained within the juicer instead of in a separate, outer container, you can't put a plastic bag in it to catch the pulp and make it easier to clean. But that doesn't bother me either. It's easy enough to wipe the pulp from the container and add it to my compost pile. Or, if you're so inclined, you can use the pulp in recipes, though I haven't tried it yet.
It's been a few years since I've had a juicer and I couldn't be happier with this one. I had forgotten how good fresh juice can be. The price is great too.
 GREAT VALUE - But not a great juicer February 28, 2010
Mark Michener (LaCrosse, WI)
LOTS to like - but not love - about this juicer.
- VERY durable... good build quality.
- EASY to clean...
- Doesn't take up a lot of real estate because it's self-contained (no external pulp bin.)
All of this is trumped by one relatively serious flaw: IT DOES NOT DO A "100%" JOB OF EXTRACTING THE JUICE. The best juicers on the market produce a comparatively "dry" pulp. In other words, the juice is more juicy! But those juicers cost two-to-five times as much money.
From a PRICE or VALUE standpoint, you CANNOT find a better juicer!
Best gift ever February 6, 2010

Bought This for our kids for Christmas. They are so overjoyed with it, it has been the talk on facebook for a month. Our son has juiced everything in the house (so it must stand up to everything) They claim they are now on a liquid diet LOL. Looks as nice as my $300 juicer.
