After four months of daily use, I am completely sold on this machine. During the first couple of days, it seemed to have too many parts and to be too complicated to put together, take apart, and wash -- but that was just at the very beginning. Now, it completely makes sense, works like a dream, and I can juice a meal from start to finish and have the Kuvings back on the shelf -- all in fifteen minutes. I've never had to stop mid-juice to clear an obstruction or even needed to use the reverse switch. I do chop fruits and vegetables into large chunks and do soak carrots and celery for half an hour before juicing them, as the instructions recommend. The advantage of the large feed tube, for me, is not that I can throw in whole fruits and vegetables, but that I can toss in large, cut up chunks rather than having to feed them into a small opening. That is a big advantage.

I had bought a cheaper, centrifugal juicer first and used it for almost a year to see if juicing was something I would stick with. Then I stepped up to the Kuvings, which is a vast, vast improvement over my old centrifugal juicer. It is much more efficient, easier to use, and easier to clean. Rather than having a bin full of wet pulp at the end of the process, I have a much smaller amount of almost dry pulp to dispose of. This is not "one more kitchen gadget," it is the only thing in my kitchen (apart from the coffee maker) that I use every day, and I enjoy using it every day.

In my first review; I credulous spoke without proper I stall. After properly placing mesh bowl into its allotted slot the machine turned on perfectly 🥰 and it mashes everything into juice. THIS IS MY FAVORITE KITCHEN APPLIANCE THUS FAR!

I am a first-time juicer, and after seeing this recommended I decided to give it a try. I absolutely love it! Everything I have tried tastes so intense and flavorful that I look forward to a glass of juice over coffee and even wine!! There's such a big deal made about cleaning these things ... it's nothing! Assembling couldn't be easier! Operation is quiet, the thing looks nice. Why this particular model? The two things that sold me on it were the oversized chute and ease of use. In fact, the chute may be big at the top but it has a prong thing obstructing the lower half (haven't worked out what it's for) so in reality I can't put anything big down there. I do put in unpeeled lemons and limes cut in half and that seems to work. I am amazed at how well stringy veggies, like celery, fennel, parsley, are digested without clogging. I have consumed more vegetables in the last 3 days than in the last 3 months! I was / am worried about losing out on all that fiber but I could add it to stir fries if I wanted to, but I have a feeling that enough still gets into the juice (especially soluble fiber) that I am still ahead of where I was, pre-juicing.

Update: After two weeks, I still love this juicer and have learned a few things. Cleaning is OK, but things don't just rinse off. If you put a lot of veggies through, the pulp builds up and makes it messier to deal with (to be fair, the instructions warn you about this). Also, the mesh needs more and more cleaning as you go (I suspect lemon peel is the culprit) unless you are really meticulous every time. And I am surprised how much water you can waste rinsing it off if you'e not careful. If you do use unpeeled citrus, it's best to put it through between two batches of something juicy so that the oily skin doesn't just go round and round for ever. Definitely don't put the lemon in last.

I am pleasantly surprised at how good cucumber tastes in juice - definitely my least favorite veggie in its whole form!

Its really good juicer only its about cleaning the stainer it take time to clean , and some always left in stainer that part I don't like it other wise its really good juicer. Dry pulp.

4/11/2018-update: I did find my groove as it takes me about 30 minutes and that includes my prep time with cleaning and cutting up any of my veggies. That's me doing 4 glasses of juice. It doesn't take long at all when you do a couple. Clean up is super quick bout 10min. I love that it comes with the cleaning tools.

Fantastic juicer! I must say though it does seem to take me a bit longer. It would take 30 minutes using my Fusion Juicer to prepare all of my juices plus clean up and this one takes a tad longer for what i do every morning but i think i'll eventually find my groove and find what works so im not taking more than a half hour. I don't like that you have to soak carrots and other veggies in water 30min prior but i still love this juicer. It does so much more than the Fusion Juicer. I highly recommend it.
