I love fresh-squeezed orange juice, but making it is such a beating! Who has time for that? Eager to get healthier, I've wanted a juicer for a while, so I was excited to have the chance to get this one! I've had it for a while now, but I felt intimidated by the machine. Finally, I mustered the courage to try it, and I don't know why I was scared. I haven't experimented much with different fruit combinations yet, but I did try juicing pineapple, and it was super easy and delicious! Next up, I plan to make fresh lemonade. Knowing I won’t have to waste time peeling and chopping the fruit makes it more likely that I’ll use this juicer more often.Cleaning isn’t as daunting as I expected. Although there are a few components to clean, the included brush makes the process easier. I do wish it were a bit quieter. It doesn’t bother me, but my autistic son is quite sensitive to loud noises. I have to have him outside or in his room with the door closed before using it. However, for the average person, the noise isn’t bad. Overall, I think it works well, although I don’t have anything to compare it with since this is my first juicer. It is slightly large for my kitchen; I don't have much counter space, so I keep it on a shelf in my laundry room. So far, it has worked great, much faster than freshly squeezed fruit, and I will use it more often, knowing it is not as complicated as I initially thought.
