This is my first juicer so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. It was very easy to get started and cleanup was a snap. It has a very sturdy build (love the metal clips) and assembles/disassembles quickly. The removal of the blade basket takes a little getting used to but nothing too difficult. My one complaint - maybe this is just a characteristic of all juicers? - is that it is extremely loud! It does indeed make more juice than I expected from 2 apples and a carrot but it scared the wits out of the cat while doing so.
