Our Review

Pros:
This is neatly contained into one unit. Vegans and Vegetarians who primarily eat lots of vegetables may prefer their masticating units because these juicers can hold up to root and leafy vegetables without stalling or the motor burning out. This is especially important for people who juice once or twice each day. It also cleans easily, which again is essential if you are using it often. Although pricier than many, it is worth it for the longevity. If you need a simpler juicer perfect for fruits, the two centrifugal ones will fit the bill.

Cons:
Outside does not look as sturdy as other brands and is made of all plastic. Machines can be squeaky and wobbly during operation. Fruits and vegetables have to be cut-up so that adds to prep time. The feed tube is unusually small considering the overall size of the juicers. Customer service of the company is sub par. It makes better juice from vegetables than it does for fruits. For some reason the fruit juice collects in the chute more than it should and thus fruit is wasted unnecessarily.
