I was impressed with this juicer when I first bought it.It produced a reasonable amount of juice with not too much pulp wastage and seemed to cope well with juicing both hard and soft fruits.It was fairly easy to clean and reassemble afterwards. Several months later the first problem I find with this machine is that the motor doesn't rotate when it is switched on.Taking it apart and reassembling it a few times seems to get it working again.Secondly I find that whilst it still copes with juicing soft fruits fairly well,hard fruit and vegetables are a different matter.The blade often passes the carrots or apples completely untouched into the waste collector so I have to stop the machine take it apart and retrieve the whole pieces of fruit and start the process over again.I haven't as yet used the citrus attachment as I find the standard juicer performs the job adequately and feel it was an unnecessary accessory.The manufacturer could have used their money more wisely and provided a higher rated motor perhaps.I wouldn't recommend buying this machine if you are wanting a juicer with lasting quality and durability.

I was very impressed by this juicer and citrus press. It was very efficent and quickly juiced carrots and other hard vegetables. As a juicing fan I would definitely advise other people to buy this product. It was very easy to assemble and easy to clean.

I was really disappointed with this product. Whilst the idea of a joint juicer and citrus press is an attractive idea the truth is this dual use means the money in this product seems to be in its appearance rather than its power. The juicer can only be used for two minutes at a time before the instuructions advise switching it off to rest in case the motor overheats! Since it seemed to struggle with hard items such as carrots and ginger, not a lot was achieved was in two minutes. If you are serious about juicing I'd recommend putting your money towards a single use product with a bigger motor and juicing capacity.

Very disappointing! This juicer amazed me with its inefficiency! I got it for my birthday and tried it out adding grapes and strawberries and it half juiced them poorly and then chucked the other half of each fruit into the rejection tub un-chopped, let alone juiced! When I removed the working parts to get to the fruit to put it through again (and it takes ages to take it apart) it then promptly chucked them straight out again into the rejection tub which was full of wet fruit and liquid. It did a little better with apples but failed with melon. Juicing oranges was quite efficient but changing all the working parts over to do this was messy and time consuming. Then when it came to washing the juicer there was about 15 different parts to wash. Another silly part to it was the tray for putting chopped fruit on before putting it in the juicer. The juice ran off this around the edge of the chopping opening and down the sides of the juicer. Maybe it would be better with hard vegetables but I have not been able to face trying these yet! I am surprised that this product was endorsed by the "You Are What You Eat brand".
