I've never had a juicer before, but I have to say, this is easy to use, easy to clean, and fun to make juice with! Right out of the box, it looks really nice. Anywhere you put it on your counter, it looks like it's meant to be there. It's small enough that it'll fit underneath most kitchen cabinets. It's about as tall as a standard Keurig, for reference, maybe a tad taller, but not much. Build quality is good! I put some apples, oranges, kiwis, and pears through it, and it didn't stutter once. You can hear the motor start to slow down, so you do need to be careful, and keep in mind that you can't just push whatever you want through this thing as hard as you want to. It comes with a sort of press to help you gently push on the fruits and veggies you press into the juicer itself, just don't push too hard, or you'll short out the motor! Slow, gentle pushes are the way to go. As soon as you hear the motor start to slow, ease off, and then gently press down again, and repeat the process until whatever you have inside the juicer is totally gone. Following that, you'll find that cleaning is nice and easy, and and that the juicer disassembles easy enough. Overall, this is a great addition to any kitchen. Excellent juicer, and I personally love the pulpiness it creates. I know that won't be for everyone, but it's hard to beat this price for what you're getting. Just follow the directions, don't push it too hard, and keep it clean!
