When I took the juicer out the box 2/18/19, I immediately disassembled it to clean and use. Taking the juicer apart was a little difficult because it was tight. I did not know what way to turn it. Going to the manual I still didn’t read it thoroughly, only because it should be simple , which is why I purchased it. When I took it a part I tried to assemble it the way I took it apart. Well, there are 2 filters. Shit I got confused and tried to put both on the same time. I had to look in the manual and it did not help. It just said filter and did not say how many. Once I got a clue, (this did not take as long as I am writing this) I put it together to use it. What I used: chard, red bell pepper, dandelion, parsley, cilantro, and celery. In that order. This was purposefully to see if it can do leaves, Herbs, and hard stuff without getting stuck, tangled or breaks. The shoot that spit out leftovers did back up a tiny bit. Why a tiny bit. Because it was still pushing through but not all of it was coming out. The wet veggies: bell pepper and celery was a slush on the inside most of it pushed out. What backed it up was the parsley and cilantro stems. once I took it apart it was wrapped around the bottom. It was dry so I know that I got the juice from it. Also I can smell it in my drink. So over all it did what I wanted it todo. Take down and clean up was a breeze. Fast easy. Learn the machine and it is easy to use. It took me about an hour or less for all of this.This is my 1st juicer and one my concerns was how loud the juicer would be as well as what was the quality of the juicer. This juicer is Soooooooooo Quiet! Soft sound even when juicing hard vegetables. It was a bit confusing to put the main canaister back on to get the lid to lock in place the first time after cleaning bust I eventually got it! I had to inner and outer filters for in the bowl correctly.Tip: the Auger head has to be pulled upward to take out. Not tuned!Overall this a good product. When juicing the celery, because of all the fibers, I'd suggested cutting to smaller pieces because it was very challenging with celery strings getting caught in the juicer and clogging the pull ejection spout. I am VERY PLEASED so far with my juicer. Please lord let it continue to work, stay quiet and survive my juicing journey. Who's got got good book for juicing recipes? I recommend!First juicer but resembles my SIMAK automatic pasta maker so I knew there would be stuff caught. Easy clean up. The only thing I would suggest to buyers/users is I ended up running the pull through to get more juice out of it since it was wet first time through. I just stuffed it into where the pusher goes...this I did about 3 to 4 times still getting juice out of the pulp. (Carrots, celery, kale, & apple) Then when running water to clean out more juice mixed with water came through so I drank it. Since I went out on a limb financially for this item I wonder if a more expensive brand would do any better or not, but my desires in a juicer we're: slow masticating, easy to load, and easy to clean.Follow up: Second day after total of 3 times usage I would like to return this item due to insufficient juicing ability. It is more trouble than it is worth by leaving so much wet pulp behind. It might be better using a vice! Think long and hard before pushing that button to buy because when it comes to returning the juicer the cost is on you to ship it to California. I unfortunately cannot afford to pay that enormous postal fee. The original shipping box was a label place on the juicer box which was damaged in transport. It would have been better to place the juicer box within a padded box for safe shipping. Apparently Amazon doesn't back this product up either.El producto podría ser muy bueno, pero me ocurrió como en otros comentarios que ya leí y es que es bonito y los primeros días funciona de maravilla, aunque a mí al principio no quería arrancar y después de un par de días dejo de funcional de la nada, es una lastima por que cuando funciona lo hace muy bien. El vendedor me respondió sin problemas y me permitió devolver el producto y me reembolso mi dinero dentro de lo estipulado.
