I've only had the opportunity to use it twice, for juicing carrots. It starts out seeming great...easy to assemble and juicing well. But before the juice container even gets one glass of carrot juice in it, the pulp reservoir fills and juice and pulp comes out of the top of the machine, dripping down the sides and counter top. I've never had a juicer before that couldn't handle one glass of carrot juice before it needs to be cleaned. The pulp didn't seem to be at a very high level in the machine when I took the lid off, but that's the only explanation I can think of for the problem I'm experiencing.
