 was pretty happy with it, but only my first juicer June 18, 2008
shark attack
This is the first juicer I've ever bought. I really liked it and was so happy with how much juice it extracted. However it seemed that shortly after it didn't work as well. It seemed that it didn't extract as much juice as it first did. I still use it, and am very happy with my purchase.
 Just what I wanted! June 16, 2008

An old roommate of mine had a juicer, and it was a nightmare. Huge, noisy, hot, it vibrated across the table when you turned it on, and leaked juice everywhere. It was white and stained and a b*tch to clean, and we hardly ever used it. I've wanted the benefits of juicing for a while, but I thought that's what juicers were like.
But no. This thing is a dream to clean, with the little brush for the wire mesh part. I juice a lot of carrots, and it doesn't seem to be staining the juicer at all. It's not hot and doesn't "travel." It's fast and no noisier than a blender, and *so* easy to take apart and put back together. And I love the energy I get from fresh juice.
Definitely put a plastic bag in the pulp bin before you use it - then you can throw the bag of pulp in the freezer and use it later for stock. :)

I read the reviews on this juicer and wondered why some gave rave reviews and others gave this juicer rotten reviews. Since most of the reviews were positive, I decided to take a chance and buy it. I'm glad I did.
The Decision - Out of all the top reviewed juicers on Amazon, Epinion, Best-Juicer-Reviews, and ConsumerSearch, this had the longest warranty (1 yr), highest horsepower motor (1.1 hp) and lowest price ($69). All of the top rated juicers have wide mouths (3+ in) and are dishwasher safe. This is why I bought it. The juicers I looked at were Breville BJE 200XL, 800 JEXL, BJE 510XL, Jack Lalanne power juicer and Hamilton Beach 67650.
The Good - It juices fast, it is easy to clean (5 min by hand, no dishwasher), and is inexpensive. Most of all, it saves me time. I could eat fast food (no more cooking and cleaning as this is dishwasher safe) without having to eat fattening drive-thru food. It is fast and nutritious.
The Bad - It is not cheap to operate because you waste a lot of food in the pulp, especially if you make juice from soft fruits and vegetables. If you are making juice from hard stuff, it will be very efficient. The pulp will be a fine, moist dust. There is very little waste. However, if you are making juice from soft fruit, it will make a lot of soft, mushy wasted pulp. This juicer is perfect for hard stuff like carrots and broccoli stems. For soft stuff like watermelon and spinach leaves, I'll use my blender instead. Or, you could try re-juicing the pulp to extract more juice out of it. Or you could do what I do to avoid wasting the juicy pulp: I feed my dog the pulp.
The Conclusion - The faults with this juicer are not faults with this particular model, but a fault with all centrifugal juicers (spinning knife blade used to juice). A masticulating juicer would produce less waste but would be much slower to operate. It takes a much longer time to make a cup of juice with a masticulating (grinding gears) juicer. A citrus juicer makes citrus juice only.
A perfectionist or very frugal person would probably opt for less wet pulp waste by buying a masticulating juicer such as an Omega 8005. A person with a busy lifestyle would probably prefer a fast juicer that is easy to clean like this one. A person who drinks citrus juice a lot would probably buy a citrus juicer. If you are making wheat grass juice, then buy a wheat grass juicer.
Depending on what you need, you may get a different juicer. However, for the price, it is impossible to get a better general purpose juicer. I will re-review this juicer in a year to give a report on it's durability.
VERY HAPPY! June 12, 2008

This is our first juicer and we absolutely love it.
It is very easy to use and most times can take whole fruits.apples might need to be cut into half.
Gives awesome throughput,it extacts every drop of juice from the fruit.
cleaning is also very easy.
also it is a very elegant looking piece and does not look like clutter on my kitchen platform.
After getting this juicer we feel addicted to fruit juices :)
I just love it!!
