Don't buy this-- here's why:
1. The juicer doesn't stay in place. This often results in getting juice everywhere but the small container you need to use to hold the juice.
2. Motor is too weak. This will result in having to wait in between fruit to finish juicing.
3. Cup is too small and gets clogged after squeezing two oranges or one grapefruit. This result in having to rinse the top several times before continue juicing.
4. Pass through is too small and gets clogged easily. Juice either doesn't go through or stay in queue, overflowing the container you're using.
5. The top (where the citrus goes) isn't pointy enough, therefore it doesn't pierce the fruit you're juicing. This will result in a lot of waste because not all the pulp gets squeezed out.
6. You'll need to strain the juice or eat it with a spoon. Because of all the overflowing, you'll get a lot of pulp inside the juice. I mean a lot.
7. This product is so bad that even their marketing can't make up for it. You need to rinse before putting in the dishwasher to remove all the pulp and seeds (otherwise you'll majorly clogged your dishwasher and you don't want that to happen). Cuisinart only selling point is "dishwasher safe". After you rinse the pulp and seeds out, it's clean. Why put in the dishwasher? Why advertising it's dishwasher safe? What you do need to do is clean (and is not dishwasher safe) are your counters and the body of the juicer. Juice will run on the sides and get into the motor part and make a mess out of it. Cuisinart forgot to mention that in the box.
It's too much of a mess to make this juicer worth purchasing. I honestly don't understand this getting bad reviews. I dislike this piece so much I've gone as far as making my first (and probably last) product review video.
