After a few weeks of use, I'm still happy with this juicer. There certainly has a few flaws: the puck around the fireplace (totally unnecessary except perhaps for aesthetics) was peeled off from the first use; the fireplace has a removable cover, which serves no purpose except to fill with water when cleaning. Apart from these details, the device perfectly serves its purpose, and I am able to prepare vegetables and fruit juice without any problems. Very easy to use, 2-speed, wide fireplace, easy cleaning (dishwasher). Excellent value for money, I recommend
