First off I have to say, the juicer is nice, but the customer service is exceptional...more on that later.
I've always wanted to try juicing for a number of reasons. Health, taste, curiosity. Store bought juice is overpriced, over sweetened and boring.
I chose this juicer because of 2 reasons. 1. Power of the motor compared to the expensive name brands and 2. price. Amazon was offering$20 off so it came out to $40...I figured why not?
So the first time unboxing, I was impressed that it didn't feel cheap or lightweight. It felt like a more expensive brand. I washed the unit and then gathered a bunch of different fruits and veggies to test it.
I found that carrots, celery, pineapple, mangos and strawberries (surprisingly good) juice best. (I juiced yams... It worked but odd tasting juice lol)
Softer fruit like kiwi and grapes not so much. The pulp bin had some larger, not juiced chunks. So I found myself running the pulp through just to see how much more juice would come out and there was some, especially with the softer fruit. But not much, which means the machine is efficient.
I found it makes the most sense to juice the firmer produce (carrots, pineapple) and then just add any extras (banana, kiwi) into a blender and combine for a yummy smoothie. Also, while juicing I turn off the unit in between loading more veggies. I think this will prevent the unit from possibly overheating and burning out the motor.
Cleaning is pretty simple, hot soapy water does the job. The blade comes with a brush to scrub the pulp and seeds, works perfectly. I like my juicer.
As far as customer service goes...
Once I received the juicer I was having buyers remorse...I hadn't even opened the box but it seemed larger than I expected in my small apartment. I contacted Amazon which told me it was a 3rd party seller and I'd have to wait for the company to respond to the return request. That was slightly annoying but less than 24 hrs later I received a response from the seller offering many options one of which was to keep it and be refunded half the purchase price. I agreed and couldn't be happier that I kept it!
