Have the juicer Now, one month as well as every day in operation: Device is working properly, Device "swallows" really effortless whole apples, and raw beets. What you should pay attention, however: The one-minute cleaning remains a legend. Have the juice container in the dishwasher washed once (the other parts never) since the lid does not fit .. Smoothies can be done with the juicer no, it all remain healthy fiber in the collecting vessel. By the way, I also bought the Citrus Tower, but was only once used, too big, too clunky, too costly.
