I love this juicer. The juice extractor does all the work. I don't have to peel apples, pears, carros,etc. The juicer does it for me as I put the fruit or veggies in they get pushed through a seive that separates pulp, seeds and peels into it's separate cup away from the juice. The juice is so tasty too. The Hamilton Beach juice extractor even comes with a recipe booklet. I use the juice in smoothies and other healthy drinks. I have even used some of the veggie blend juices to liven up some of my soups and other mealtime dishes. Leafy veggies do best if sandwiched in between harder ones. Otherwise...
