This is my first juicer, so I don't have any basis for comparison, but I can't imagine wanting anything more powerful than this one.The first time I used it was for a 3-day juice fast, so I used it 5 times a day and I have to say that it is everything I could possibly need. It's fast, it's easy, and for the most part easy to clean. The mesh is a bit hard to clean, but I would imagine that is the case for any juicer.For the price, (and even if it were more expensive) I just don't think you can beat it. I'm extremely pleased.One note: The description says "compact" and again, I'm not sure compared to what, but this is bigger than my 11-cup food processor, so that gives you an idea about the size.
