This is the fourth juicer I have used. All have been the same type of centrifugal juicer. I have had this only two days. I have tried to juice carrots four times. The residue comes out just like mashed potatoes, with very little juice produced. The centrifugal strainer/grater holes fill with fiber and prevent it working properly. I have twice cleaned the strainer and put the pulp back through again. I still get substandard amount of juice. I just borrowed a Juiceman for two weeks and was fairly well pleased but worried about the number of people who said the top cover had broken. I am returning this juicer and going to get the Jack Lalanne to try from Costco.
