Friends, forget those speedy centrifugal juicers that leave you with foamy, thin juice. The Mighty Masticator is here to revolutionize your mornings with its slow and steady approach to juicing.

Let's be honest, the assembly might remind you of a slightly less complicated Lego set. But hey, think of it as a brain teaser with a delicious reward. Once you crack the code, it's smooth sailing from there.

Feeding this machine is an exercise in mindful eating. Each piece of fruit or vegetable is slowly consumed, giving you a chance to appreciate the beauty of nature's bounty. Who knew watching a carrot disappear could be so zen?

The sound? Imagine a happy cow munching on grass - gentle, rhythmic, and oddly satisfying. It's the perfect soundtrack for a leisurely Sunday morning.

Now, the juice - this is where the magic happens. It's thick, vibrant, and jam-packed with nutrients. No more watery disappointments, this is juice with substance. Forget sipping, you might need a spoon for this flavor explosion.

Cleaning? Sure, it takes a bit more effort than your average blender. Think of it as a bonus workout for your hands "“ you'll get those Popeye forearms in no time.

So, would I recommend the Mighty Masticator? Absolutely, if you:

Value quality over speed.
Enjoy the process of creating something delicious.
Want maximum nutrients and flavor in every glass.
Secretly love the satisfaction of a good scrub.
The Mighty Masticator might not be the fastest kid on the block, but it's the one who gets the job done right. So go on, embrace the slow juice life "“ your tastebuds will thank you.

I've only used the juicer once so far, so these are initial impressions. It appears sturdy, and the noise level is quite acceptable. The containers for the juice and the pulp are quite small. They could easily have been made larger. You can fit larger containers under the outlets, so this is not a major problem. The baffle where you insert the fruit or veggies into the juicer works well and accepts large pieces. I inserted a quite large apple and it got stuck, so for larger fruit you may want to cut it in half or quarters. The squeezing process results in a lot of pulp building up inside the entry chute, which eventually inhibits putting more fruit in. The pulp that comes out below is quite dry, so it appears most of the juice is extracted. However, the juice is not really juice. It is more like the consistency of watery applesauce. Still good and usable, but not really drinkable juice. Most of the machine comes apart for easy cleaning, but the screen on the central core where the juice is strained from the pulp gets clogged with pulp particles and is difficult to clean. It comes with a toothbrush type tool for cleaning, and that is pretty much essential. Re-assembly after cleaning is pretty easy once you figure it out. All in all this is a sturdy product that does a good job of what it does. It is just a little messy, a little difficult to clean, and I wish it made actual juice rather than thin applesauce.

We have been looking for the perfect juicer, that is compact, space saver, easy to clean yet powerful. Most of the juicers we tried were either too bulky and hard to clean or small but too weak of a juicer. At first, we were skeptical to try this one because of the size. But because of the great reviews we decided to give it a chance. And I'm glad we did! Here are some of the reasons why we love this juicer. First it arrived really well packaged, second it comes with easy to follow instructions with illustrations, third it is easy to assemble and very compact. Fourth, it so easy to use, you don't even have to chop your ingredients into small pieces. Fifth, it has so much power it can juice apples, cucumbers and even celery. And Lastly, it is so easy to clean. We highly recommend this juicer!!!

I am a beginner when it comes to juicing, so I wanted something that was easy to assemble, easy to use, and easy to clean. This juicer does not disappoint. It's extremely easy to feed your fruits and veggies through and it's not loud! I've made some great juices so far and I look forward to exploring with more veggies. It's somewhat easy to clean, you do have to work a little harder to get all the pulp out of the parts, but it is very easy to assemble. Overall, great product and if you are looking to explore the world of juicing and don't want to break the bank, this is a great way to start..

This unit is exactly as advertised. It does fit a whole apple and regular oranges. It's quiet, almost too quiet. The unit will separate the orange peel from the orange (it does leave a slight tartness so I peel them for sweeter juice, although the tartness is mild). The unit will rip through a carrot, which may be the best juice from a fruit, no other reviews had that, so I was hesitant, it will rip though any fruit.

The first surprise I had, was taking it apart the first time. It needs a a little force to separate, so just make sure that you know how to disassemble the unit before running it. If it is a little "sticky" to remove, just hit the reverse button for a second and then it becomes easier.

The second surprise is that it grabs almost everything you put in and runs it through. Most juicers require you to push down every time you insert a new item, this is not the case. You "plop" the fruit in, and WHALLAH! juice is made.

The last surprise, is the little recipe book. It is small, but a couple of the ideas are so different, I am tempted to try them. One that intrigued me was the corn juice which include rice.

Easy to setup, very simple to use, and fairly easy to clean (no juicer is easy) and the little tool they provide makes it simple. All the components are small, so the mess left is also small.
