Device is working properly. If residue still too wet, simply pour into the device again. We have been juiced predominantly soft fruit. It was then rinsed with water. Perhaps it would have been cheaper to make the angle of the screen steeper in the design. Then the length of stay had been longer during spinning and the juice yield when first gear is greater and the residue dry. The cleaning of the device is very simple by the fine workmanship of the parts and the smooth surface. Anyway, we are very satisfied.
