(More customer reviews)My old reliable juicer crapped out on me one afternoon in the middle of juicing...had the poor dear for nearly 15 years and it cost only $50, back in the day!
Anyway...I popped into the local Wal-mart and found this one. Thought it would be okay (great price $30) but have cursed the day since.
My pulp to juice ratio is very high. My old juicer would squeeze every ounce of fluid from 4 small apples...with this one I had to juice 10 large red delicious just to get CLOSE to the output from my old machine.
And the pulp, OY, the pulp! I use a glass, half gallon container and, I kid you not, the pulp takes up well over HALF of the container.
I have reached the point of having to clean out the strainer after each fruit/veggie I juice, to make sure the fluid flows properly. AND I've taken to squeezing the pulp in the basket and other parts through cheese cloth just to get the right amount of juice I should be getting.
SO...it takes a long time to extract what used to take 20 minutes (including clean-up). To get 2 full quarts of juice is now taking me a full hour (including cleanup)! Not just from having to clean and squeeze but also from having to cut the fruits and veggies down to a size the machine feeder can handle. So I cut apples (small red delicious) into quarters...then the quarters into eighths...just to fit into the blasted feeder!
Lastly, the power button is a switch. Which means to turn it on you have to push the switch up, by applying force to the bottom of a small lip. I have to place my left hand on top of the juicer to keep it on the counter and apply force onto the switch with my right hand to turn the rummy thing on! Why not make it a button Hamilton Beach, why?
I am now in the market for a new machine...after only three weeks.
Stay away from this contraption!
