Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this juicer because it had good reviews and seemed to be really popular. However, after its first use i realized how cumbersome it is to clean. Maybe I'm just lazy but there's no way i would use this juicer everyday just based off of ease of cleaning alone. Apart from that, it's messy to juice small fruits and vegetables. For example, pieces of strawberries were being flung outside of the juicer because it's impossible to get the entry tube covered before the blade starts chopping up the strawberries. The juicer is loud and produces frothy juice that was somewhat warm because there is so much heat generated to process the fruits or vegetables. You're also limited on what you can juice. On top of all this, the base of the wire mesh basket is impossible to clean. The reason being is because the mesh is backed by a metal ring so there is no way to spray or brush food particles through the mesh at the base. This could create a possible food poisoning situation. All that said, people have given this juicer good reviews so there must be something good about it I just don't know what it is. Needless to say i returned this product immediately. I did more detailed research and stumbled upon the Omega 8003 masticating juicer. It cost twice as much but worth every penny. It's quiet, easy to clean, and produces great tasting high quality juice. I would highly recommend this juicer to anybody. Even if this is your first juicer purchase I would go with the Omega and avoid having to waste $100 before you realize that buying a centrifugal juicer was a bad decision. I hope this helps, happy juicing!
