SKG Slow Masticating Juicer Wide Chute Cold Press Juicer Machine BPA Free (200W AC Motor, 45 RPM), Red

I am going to make this real short.I originally had an hamilton beach juicer. I have an online juice store so I produce juices daily.Likes:MORE JUICE OUTPUTEasy to clean-4 piecesIt beats me from hand pushing vegetables downDRYER PULPNO FOAM ON TOP OF MY JUICEScomes with a container to collect the juice might be 32 ouncesDislikes:Only if it could juice faster.Kind of loud at pointsanything stringy-celery will get caught; oranges and apples would get stuck-had to use the handle to resumeoh yeah-the handle; didn't seem like it fitted correctlyYou must cut up to small pieces-chute could be biggerIt is big-but it will duethe cleaning brush could be biggerEXTREMELY SLOW

I don't know how many stars I should give to this product. Actually I was very satisfied this machine it works very well very quiet,easy to use and clean, vegetable pulps came out very dry. I was proud of myself to bought this slow juicer. BUT BUT after used the 1st machine a couple times I found 3 cracks at the motor. It was hard to notice because the surface was black but I found it. So I asked Amazon for replacement the staff was very helpful and sent the 2nd machine to me. When it arrived first thing I checked was crack. Sadly I still found the same damage at motor of 2nd machine.I don't pay 300 dollars for damaged stuff. It is unacceptable. I think this is issue from factory because package itself was in good condition.This time I just inbox and called Amazon for refund...

I initially had some confusion about assembly but an email from the manufacturer cleared it up.I have used the juicer for 5 days and it does everything it said would. I am juicing celery daily for my wife who has Alzheimer's and a book "Medical Medium Celery Juice" suggests that the collection of heavy metals in the brain is the culprit that causes Alzheimer's.The regimen requires 16 ounces of celery juice daily.As you know, celery is a tough vegetable to juice because of the toughness of the fibers in the stalks.The SKG juicer extracted 16 ounces out of one bunch and had no problem with grinding the stalks and depositing the the pulp in the pulp container.The visual on the juice receptacle allows you to see the 16 ounce level so you know when to stop grinding.Cleaning is done by running water through the components which easily assembled and disassembled. The pulp may require you to extract some pulp while cleaning.Overall, I am very pleased at its performance.

I have no previous experience so take this review with a grain of salt. I was expecting a complicated, messy, and loud machine. It is none of these.There are 4 parts that can go together only one way so assembly is easy.The machine is very quiet and really crushes everything quickly.The pulp that comes out is damp but not wet. I pressed it and no extra fluid came out of it.I juiced 1 gallon of random recipes including celery, carrots, cucumbers, lemons, limes, garlic, tomatoes, arugula, kale, apples, basil, mint, cilantro, watercress, and chard.I learned through reviews and videos of other juicers that celery strings are problematic, so I cut my stalks into 2" lengths and juiced one bunch. Even with cutting them, strings did get stuck. If you plan to juice a lot of different fruits and vegetables, juice the celery last so it doesn't get clogged.Clean up was so easy. Everything rinsed quickly. The brush helped clean the main crusher/grater thingy.My take away? The juice I made was so delicious and fresh! I made a simple one with 2 carrots and 1 cucumber that was so sweet and refreshing. Fruit is great and I juiced with some, but it doesn't need to be in every juice like those you buy at the stores. I enjoyed having some savory and some sweet.My house smells amazing and fresh after juicing.Assembly was super easy.Clean up was super easy.The machine worked quickly.I just don't have anything negative to share. Oh! There's one. That little strainer that clips to the juice receiving bowl got full fast. I will buy a strainer to make things easier.

It was my first slow masticator type machine to make juice. Worked well until it broke.... 3 months in. It’s plastic so I can see how the ring is susceptible to this but I imagine better machines are made of metal.When it worked it was a PITA to clean. Have to take the whole thing apart and shoot the faucet up every direction making a huge spray mess.... or “super fun” as my kids would say.Going back to Vitamix!

Updated. See below.Broke on the first time I used it to do some simple juicing and non-existent customer service. Then contacted customer support with email and through warrant site with zero response after 4 weeks. Crazy. My wife and I really like the design and the way it worked.Update - Be careful who you reach out to. After posting this review SKG reached out to me and sent a replacement, reach out to this address; service@skg.com. We still like the design and it is a great juicer. Hopefully this one doesn't break.

I sent this back. There was a lot of “unjuiced” food left in the chamber

My wife ordered this. I was skeptical about this machine at the beginning. It’s pretty heavy and comes with many parts. Took my wife some time to put them together. After trying with 2 apples, I have to say this machine does a great job. It squeezes 3/4 cup juice from a single apple.My only concern is there are too many parts to clean.
