"my husband & i saw this the night they previewed it. we were excited to order it. we got it, had fun for about an hour, then time to clean it. it is difficult to keep clean. the piece that is like a grater is so much work to keep particles out. we are keeping it only because i asked him to. he doesn't like the juicer. prefers a blender."

Somewhat messy

"Yes it is somewhat messy, even with a plastic bag because the back compartment doesn't seal tight to the juicer. You have to kind of pull the bag up and forward. It is an improvement over his previous model that had a very short spout and stood a bottom base. That model made a true mess. That said, it produces a lot of juice. The wide mouth makes juicing much faster than juicers with a narrow mouth. The health benefits of fresh juice are tremendous and Lalanne's juicers are very reasonably priced."

"I have had this juicer for over a year and it is great and so healthy I have a toddler and she lover apple carrot juice and she likes grapefruit/lime juice icepops. Great product if you are looking for a natural juice and need to get your veggies. My daughter will not eat veggies but she will drink them. There are a lot of parts but the health benefits are worth it. If you are hand washing you need a stiff brush to clean the grinder or i use an old tooth brush. Also clean it right after using don't let it sit, like anything the longer you wait the harder it is to clean."

We Use It Daily

"I juice vegetables twice daily in this machine, which I have had for about seven months. If you have never juiced, it might take some getting used to as far as cleaning, but we find it routine and not a "big deal."
Everything disassembles easily. The pulp goes right into the container and then we put it into our composter. So, if you are new to juicing you might have two hurdles here: One, getting to know the machine, as in how to assemble it and Two, making the cleanup seem a routine procedure. Juicing in general is more effort than I think most Americans are used to, but the payoff in nutrition is invaluable. Again, once you juice regularly, the cleanup becomes a routine task, well worth the benefit to your health.
We rarely use the dishwasher to clean it, as we are afraid the high heat might age the plastic parts prematurely. Just a plastic brush on the blade, and soap and sponge on the rest. The Lalanne machine has held up well and does not heat the juice at all during the processing."

"Really extracted a lot of juice but it was very messy. I could not figure out how to put the pulp collector on the back so there were no gaps. Stuff flew all over the counter in the process. Returned due to the mess."

"This juicer may be dishwasher safe but it's sure not hand wash friendly. It has 5 parts - yes, 5 - to wash and they aren't easy to clean. There was little pulp in the waste container because it was elsewhere in the juicer. The juice does taste better than I ever expected juice to taste."

"I have had oher juicers before and this one is the best. It is easy to use and easy to clean. It doesn't take a lot of space up so it sits on my kitchen counter. Once you start using this you will look forward to having fresh juice."
