The press is massive and heavy, easy to clean but a little shaky in the joint. After 4 months (use on weekends for cocktails) of the pin has gone holds broken in the joint of the two parts. It is not a solid pin, but a tube. It looks as if a rivet chipped at one end. The juicer is now patched up temporarily with a machine screw, but that this pin is subjected to high loads, is by design to predict the execution with a riveted tube that after a short time breaks down, therefore a design defect.
