I have this citrus press for about 2 months in daily use, press every morning my full glass of orange juice and so far I'm thoroughly pleased with the press. I think they are not very loud and it fascinates me again and again, like jerk twitch my glass is full. In addition, the press extremely easy to clean (important to me, since I have no dishwasher), it catches nothing in joints or grooves and is Ratz Fatz reassembled. Even that you can fold up the "serving" until you have selected the proper vessel to make topsy I find very convenient. Yesterday I noticed that the tip "worn" on the press cone a klitzekleinwenig looks, so that's the cone on a black about pinhead size scuffed ... but appears to be only skin deep. Would reassuring when you know that you could buy more if necessary, the bowling ... but so far I can not complain and would recommend to everyone this juicer fervently :)
