 More trouble than what its worth Aug 21, 2008
If you want juice, don't bother. This juicer does the job but the cleaning up and problems I had just isn't worth it.
First, the pulp attachment that sits in the back did not fit snugly. The attachment during operation on a smooth granite counter top detaches itself and the pulp falls in the crevice between the unit and the attachment creating a horrible mess. 5 minutes of cleanup.
Second, as the juice comes out of the spout, it spits out and splashes. Do not operate with the spout facing you wearing your good clothes!
Third, what a horrible mess to clean up. You have to clean the plunger, the pulp attachment, detach the base and clean it, then clean the sifter filter (must clean good because pulp gets stuck in the filter). It took me about 10 minutes to clean up and a half a roll of paper towel.
Fourth, the electrical cord is in a bad spot - right behind the attachment spout. So when the pulp falls out, it gets all over the cord. The cord should be moved more to the side of the unit.
Frankly, this is not what I thought it would be and too much trouble for what its worth. With the amount of vegetables I put in to make 1/2 gallon of juice I must have spent $10 bucks alone. Thats one helluva expensive 1/2 gallon of juice.
 Great juicer, but SO many parts! Aug 15, 2008
I've had one of these for a couple of years.
I like it and love the juice it makes, but I don't like all the parts. Don't lose any of them or you're screwed, especially that blade unlock tool. And clean all the parts (10-15 of them) before enjoying your juice or there will be lots of dried on messes. Then WAIT don't enjoy the juice yet. First re-assemble all the parts of the juicer NOW while you remember where everything goes otherwise you might not be able to get the thing back together later. It's almost not worth all the clean up trouble unless you are making a lot of juice. For one glass? No.
But yeah you can throw whole fruits and veggies down that big opening and it grinds 'em right up. I line the pulp bucket poop-chute thing with a plastic bag so it can be tossed out without washing the chute. That HELPS with the clean up.
 Do not buy Jun 27, 2008
I received this product when I order 0n 5-19-08 from Amazon and about 13 days afterward I received the juicer. It quit working 6-26-08. I called the distributor Triad and they informed me that my only recourse was to write this bad review, or give Triad another $ 49.99 for a new motor. Heck, all I paid for was a juicer and you would expect that could be use for 30 days. Let me see, $ 113.00 cost of juicer, pretty expensive juice!!!!!!!! You see Amazon says you can ship it back 30 days from purchase. Well if the shipping eats up most of the thirty days, Well, you figure!

Not a great juicer Jun 06, 2008
This juicer isn't nearly as good as it's claim. I've been using mine for a couple days now and not once has any decent amount of the pulp ever made to the pulp garbage bucket thing... it all stays clumped and wet all over the insides of the machine. It doesn't extract as much juice as it's claim, otherwise there wouldn't be so much wet, mushy pulp everywhere. When I remove the top piece, I have to be very careful because lots of mushy icky pulp starts plopping out all over the counter.
It doesn't do apples very good. Not only do the apples stop up the machine easily, but it barely gets any juice from them. If I were to put 5 medium apples through the machine, I wouldn't have a glass of juice.
Be ready for LOTS of cleanup. The pulp and the stains on the plastic. I'm very displeased. Yes, this one is only 99.99, but here's yet another example of false advertising. How can that man go on TV and claim a product does something it does not do?! I know it isn't only my machine, and I should have read the rest of the reviews here before purchasing.
Other reviews also mention the same issues but gave the machine 3-4 stars because of the price????? That makes no sense to me at all. Whatever the cost, a product should live up to all the claims in their ads.
