Juicers

Comment:

I use this juicer mainly for hard vegetables, like carrots, beets, and hard fruits like apples. It works very well for those things.<br /><br />It is not too difficult to clean, yet it is not a very quick clean situation. It's good enough that way and not a problem.<br /><br />The precision of the blade/disc and the centrifuge wall is good but as good as I would like it to be. What this means is that the pieces being pushed into the blade through the chute can sometimes skip into the juice/pulp area in chunks. It might be that I simply need a new blade, because it was not this way at first.<br /><br />I have had it for about 6 years, and I use it only occasionally. I might have 2 years of normal use on it so far. I have a feeling it will last a long time.<br /><br />I had to replace one of the arms/levers that secure the bowl to the base. They seem to be made of some type of high impact plastic. The arm cracked but did not break completely. I replaced it by buying a set of two arms for about $15. I have not had a problem with the arms since then.<br /><br />It does not do citrus well, but then I would not expect that. I tried doing green leafy vegetables once just to see if it would work, and it did, but it did a poor job, of course, because it it not designed for that purpose. <br /><br />So, for hard vegetables, its a fast way to get some good juice that is not heated or foamy.
