 works good, but breaks easy April 15, 2008

been using this one for a couple years on wheatgrass only. Handle just cracked from cranking too hard. I'm going to look for metal version. Otherwise, works petty good and grass is not heated too much, thereby keeping the valuable enzimes in tact, unlike electric machines.

This juicer is good, i wouldn't go as far to say great. The pulp is soggy and the unit leaks a bit. The turning handle hits the C-Clamp as you are cranking and the juice spout is in an akward spot. On the other hand it is very affordable and does do it's job at juicing the wheatgrass. PLUS GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Mine came with a cracked juice cup and they just shipped me a new one, no questions asked!!

Got this juicer yesterday. I've only used it once, but I tried apples, carrots, celery, spinach, and tomatoes. I didn't have any trouble turning the handle for any of these things (I did cut the carrots in half though). Everything else juiced easily. It didn't get all of the juice out of the tomatoes, but I just scooped up the pulp and ran it through again. I also had to crank the handle back and forth a few times to get the juice from the spinach (no biggie). In all it only took a couple minutes for a glass of juice. I didn't have any leaks.
I used the suction cup, which worked really well (I was surprised by this actually, wasn't expecting it to work). I do agree that the handle is a bit to close to the base. If I had to use the clamp there would be much extra room. I know a lot of people were complaining about the clamp being to big and having to open their dishwasher to have a place to clamp it. Unfortunately, I don't think there's really another option, so I don't consider that a valid complaint.
It was a snap to put together (took a couple minutes). Now I can take it apart, clean it, and reassemble it in about two minutes. It's really a simple machine.
In all, I really can imagine a better juicer. I was looking at those expensive $400 dollar electric juicers, but as I couldn't spend that much I opted for this one. I don't really know why you would need an electric now. This one is so light weight and portable. It makes no noise at all. I control the speed and direction of things. And I get a little exercise while juicing (is the point of juicing to get healthier? May as well get a little physical activity with it). So, while there may be a couple design issues that could be better, it's really the best juicer I could imagine (at least short of something with a hydraulic press and grinder that would probably cost a couple grand).
So buy this thing already.
I love this little juicer October 2, 2007

I wanted a juicer that I could use occasionally to juice celery, carrots, and other fruits and vegetables.
I've owned the juicer for 2 weeks and couldn't be happier. It's a sturdy little thing and not really difficult to put together, use, or clean. In fact cleaning it is so much simpler than the big electric juicer I owned years ago.
It is a manual juicer, but I've never had any problem turning the crank - I load 1 stalk of celery or 1 carrot at a time and push it in as I'm turning the crank.
Highly recommended for occasional juicers like me.
Excellent Product but overpriced. September 19, 2007

The reason for the four star is the price.Its a little high. However, its an excellent product, easy to assemble and clean and performs just like the manufacturer says it would.
