Living in Germany for one year I wanted something that's not too big, not too loud and easy to clean. It's a very good looking device (shiny red looks good in the kitchen), it's no way near as loud as my juicer back home and Although I had to jiggle the razor part for a while to get it to come off to clean it - it what all fine! Washed under hot water and ready to go again! I Took The lid off the juice container though, the juice which not landing in fact little hole too well. Recommend using a kitchen brush lightly to get rid of any residue on the razor part (or whatever it's called). Short in German: Super easy to make clean (at the beginning did not want to get rid of a body, but it was); looks great (very nice color), relatively quiet (from my old machine) and run under hot water everything is clean and ready for the next juice! Take cover from the juice holder away, it can spit something. A kitchen brush (if you so called in German?) Is to get super to the residue away.
