This machine is jr in name only
I live in citrus country so when we moved here I wanted to make fresh juice for the family and certainly wanted to impress the family and friends from snow country when they came to visit. I must admit the juice is great but my hubby said each gallon I make it like liquid gold as far as what it cost to make a gallon of juice. Pulp Setting Effectiveness I do not like pulp in my juice, however my husband does and so I do strain my juice one more time. Time consuming, messy but it takes that extra straining as far as I am concerned. Stability While in Use Doesn't bounce around and doesn't sound like the motor is straining and I have used it for long periods of time. Ease of Cleaning The unit comes apart for cleaning which is a good thing as juicing is a sticky mess and the sticky seems to multiply like a wildfire. Durability The juicer works great and the end result taste great, however it's a good thing that the machine is strong enough to run for a long period of time. This is a time consuming, sticky mess and clean up is a challenge. It seems sticky transfers quickly. I sure don't save money juicing and according to my hubby, his labor is worth a lot. We put the juice in quart size zip lock bags and freeze them flat. Makes it easy to store, and you just open a bag and pour into a pitcher when ready for some OJ. Versatility/Number of Features Has everything you need for juicing, good size for easy storing and I store more than I juice. Design Good looking machine, works great and Yes, I recommend if you want to juice for whatever reason.
