Bottom line with this machine is it never gets used anymore. I've never come across a machine that requires so much cleaning!1. it leaks on the counter surface2. it has sooooo many parts that are fiddly to clean3. it has sooo many bulky parts that it either takes up the entire dishwasher or it takes 30 minutes to clean up.bottom line is it takes just WAY too long and too much hassle to juice. never gets used anymore.
