Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this juicer from Wal Mart for about the same price as Amazon and $10 less than ebay (a tip if you still want one after reading this review)and it's a real piece of junk. I wanted to get a more expensive one but my husband reminded me we were on a budget yetfrom just a singe comparative glance I knew it was not going to last. Everyday I juice 5 carrots, 1/4 of a beet root, 1 stick of celery, and an apple for breakfast to make one pint of juice. Not much considering my parents juice a quart of carrot juice for everyone still in their house (4) every night and their juicer has been going strong since forever. After my 4th morning with this juicer it started producing that burning out motor smell that cheap appliances produce after being overworked only I had just started. The 5th morning the blade started up fast but started getting slower with each piece of veggie I added so I had to keep stopping and cleaning it out then restarting. The juice comes out in a slow trickle, the pulp is so wet you can literally squeeze juice out of it, and it chucks large pieces of whatever you are juicing in with the pulp. Also it skids across the countertop from lack of rubber-stoppers. All in all I have decided if you are the least bit serious about juicing then this juicer is not the one for you. It's worth the extra money to own a good juicer, after all you get what you pay for.
