I bought this juicer in January and have been using it regular. It can be a little loud, but boy is it fast. Clean up is a snap too. You just have to remember to clean it within a few minutes of use. I just use a regular dish washing brush and some dish soap and I'm done cleaning in 2 minutes.I have a masticating juicer as well (Omega) and that's great too for leafy greens, but this one powers through everything. I do get a bit more juice from spinach and kale with the Omega, but not much more than Breville. It powers through hard vegetables like beets as well. Just remember to push down slowly when juicing and you get much more juice.It looks great too!
