I had previously bought a juicer, so I was used to juicing, but I was not impressed by the time it took me to 'prepare' the food before juicing.  When it broke down, I did not replace it.  A few months later, on numerous occasions I saw the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer commercial on t.v., and I was impressed with the wide mouth opening. The fact that you did not have to cut everything in pieces before using it appealed to me.  When his latest model came out (the one that makes the soya bean milk, etc), I was very lucky to get the older model on sale.  I was still working then, and I was trying to use it as often as I could. It was faster for me in the morning to prepare a glass of great juice, than to make a breakfast.  So I started juicing again, more regularly this time, because the machine was easy to use and easy to clean.  I have been using it every day for 2 years now.  I love it as much today as when I first bought it.  I use it mostly for vegetable juices (green juice, carrot juice) but once in a while I make an incredible tasting apple/grape juice.  It taste so much better than the juices you buy at the store, and it is a lot cheaper as well.   A few tips: I separate the fruit pulp from the veggies pulp, also I put a plastic bag in the pulp collecting container so when I'm finished I just remove the bag and freeze the pulp in it, and the container is still clean.

 What do I do with the pulp???  I use my vegetables  pulp to thicken spaghetti sauces, add it to my veggies soups, salsas, etc... and I use my fruit pulp in my fruit muffins and cake recipes. All in all, this juicer does what it is supposed to do and does it well, GREAT TASTING JUICES.
