I purchased this juicer on clearance at Sams club a couple years ago for less than $25. For the price I paid you can not go wrong with this unit. I am not sure if I would pay $100 for it, so I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5.I do not use the juicer as often as I'd like, but I have had no problems with it. The case & all is very sturdy. I was surprised when I lifted the box at just how heavy the unit is. It is built to last. It also has a 7 year warranty which can't be beat.The juicer is also easy to clean. Yes, it is more difficult than throwing out an empty coke can, but very easy for a juicer.
