I bought this juicer because it seemed like it had a lot of really good features at a good price, but it turns out that this is nothing like it is promised to be. They promise it will be whisper quiet, but it actually makes quite a bit of noise. It's actually NOT dishwasher safe, a fact I learned after taking it out of the dishwasher and discovering that it was now stained and had rough, peeling edges. The chute is only big enough to feed a whole apple into if that apple is the smallest one ever grown, and the juice spout is so low that you have to use shallow bowls to collect the juice. The kicker is that the plastic screw is extremely flimsy and broke within about a dozen uses. I'm in the market for another juicer, but I won't be getting another Jack LaLanne. This time I'll invest in something like a Breville that will actually WORK and KEEP WORKING.
