I searched for months before buying a juicer. I wanted to get the most bang for my buck and I wanted a peice if equipment that did not waste majority of the item that I was juicing. Time and cleanup are also very important and I will report that I am pleasantly surprised buy this item. Its definitely cheaper than other options out there but works as if its one of the higher priced competitors. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Its easy to set up, use and clean. It provides a good amount of juice from the items you run through it and its not to loud while running. Im overall happy equity my purchase
