As mentioned in comments from other customers, it is true that this wringer takes a little space in the closet. But once you find a place, no problem. The freewheel system takes a little space too, so we do not put it as a salad, and it is true that it is not running as fast as with a manual extractor. Anyway, it works and if necessary, evacuated and turned over again. It was a gift for my mother and she enjoyed.
