The most important difference between this and a horizontal juicer is that this has a much larger filter screen which (a) keeps solids inside and not in your juice, and (b) lets juice pass into the collection container. Accordingly, this is FAR less susceptible to having the filter clog up and stop your juicing.Assembly and clean up take a little time, but really just a few minutes on each end.The build is very nice. Customer service was terrific (we asked about a filter screen that would allow more pulp through) and the warranty period is impressive.Immensely more pleased with this than we were with a horizontal juicer that we tried before.I love this item! The juice is pulp free and comes out delicious! It also lasts for 3 days in the fridge without any issues. Great Product! It works great if you chop up all the items and you never have to use the reverse feature if you do that!Love this juicer. I have been juicing celery for 5 years to help with my immune system. My old juicer broke so I researched. My sister has this juicer so I tried it and immediately wanted to buy it. It is worth the money.This is my 5th juicer.It like it better than all of the ones before it.- breville juice fountain, which works great for hard fruits and veggies but sucks to clean and is lousy for leafy greens- omega auger style juicer, but with only a 1.5" feed hole... I liked it because it did everything well, but was such a pain to feed things into- champion juicer. I though this would work better but it really was a step backwards. First it sucks for celery and much much worse the auger/grinder/shredder kept destroying itself, so it was, I even bought a replacement for it and it did the same thing. I definitely don't see how anyone uses one of them- a new omega auger style juicer with an oval feel hole that they said was like 2" except only in one dimension. I had this for awhile but got fed up with the size of the chute whole. Otherwise though it was the best so far.Last is this juicer. I love the much larger ROUND feed hole which really is a big over 3". It's so much easier to feed leafy greens into it especially. Another thing is that it is much more friendly to feeding the juiced pulp back in to get more juice out.The only real draw back is you have to cut up celery into 1-2" pieces before feeding it in. But that takes maybe 30 seconds of cutting so is really a non-issue.Nice quiet slow juicer, easy to use, glad I bought it.I have to admit, I was unease with investing in $400 Juicer. But after few Tick Tock and Facebook videos. I realized this is the one to get. First, Clean up is a breeze, set up is even quicker. I did 32oz of juice in half hour, it’s just a matter of pick what veggies combination you want to make.This is a great investment in your health!This is by far the easiest juicer I've ever owned. I use spinach, cilantro, cucumber, and celery in the juice I make and this Kuvings juicer handles all of it like it's nothing. I do cut the celery into 4 to 5 inch pieces but other than that, I have almost no prep.The spinach fits easily into the chute and it's almost effortless to push it through.I don't have to even try to get the other veggies to go down, they are grabbed and pulled through without me having to do a thing.I cannot even express how much I love this juicer or how much easier it's going to make my life now. It makes juice in half the time my old juicer did plus I get more juice out of the vegetables.I do have a small amount of trouble taking it apart to clean it but I imagine I'll get used to it. Cleanup itself is a breeze.VERY happy with my purchase.This juicer is the best on the market - very well built - solid and very easy to operate. It is also very easy to take it apart and clean. Do not beleive the 0ne star evaluation by debshoppingaround, who could not take it apart. You can assemble it and take it apart in a few seconds with no effort. The machine is almost silent and there is no residues in the juice.I bought a $150 horizontal juicer and though it made juice as expected it took a long time and the screen was thin plastic so if I pressed harder it would most likely break, so I returned it and invested in this one as it had great reviews on speed, performance, withstand long juicing times and easy clean up , so it was very disappointing when it couldn't go through a carrot without stopping 4 times. I then cut it in 4 and still stopped several times and then it just overheated after 20 min of juicing and stopped all together.... so speed, performance, long continuous juicing thumbs down. I give it a big thumbs up on easy clean up, as that was really a breeze but I doubt anyone will want a machine that doesn't serve its primary purpose. I'm returning and my search continues.De loin le meilleur extracteur que j'ai eu.C'est mon 2nd.Avant j'en aivait un qui se bloquait tout le temps à cause des fibres.Celui-ci, il faut que je force un peu avec des feuilles entières de laitue romaine pour le bloquer.Donc très bien, il se nettoie super bien, ( avec les ustensiles fournis).Il est très silencieux aussi, mon mari adore, car l'ancien, il était très bruyant, il ne le supportait plus.Je peux faire des jus pendant que mon bébé dort, sans réveiller toute la maison!!Je ne regrette pas mon achat, je me fais 5 jus par semaine environ, et il est toujours aussi performant.C'est cher, mais c'est de la bonne qualité.Économisez, et vous verrez la différence. Moi je recommande partout autour de moi.It's a bit expensive but I got advised that kuvings was a safe investment. It doesn't break easily.The base, where the motor is, is quite heavy so it's not for everybody but if you put it somewhere and don't have to move it all the time, you're OK.I tried it twice so far for a green juice and carrot juice. The fibers are rather dry.I just have to fine tune my recipes!We bought this about a 1 year ago and its still going strong. This juicer is amazing and the clean up is so easy and clean. Has a wide chute and no need to cut up in little pieces. When juicing celery you need to cut up in small pieces as its very stringy fibers will make it harder to juice. Everything else is easy to juice.Totally recommend this product. A bit expensive but it comes with a 10 year warranty, so that is a piece of mind.
