I'm new to juicing...just 3weeks down.I got a sense that I needed to try this one ...as it rated great & was most affordable of all. Learned to cut up celery into small pieces to prolong health of the machine...so, I decided to use small processer to do the work for me before juicing. Wow! It says slow, but it's actually quite fast & didn't need to push celery down as auger pulls it in at it's speed. As pulp discarded itself ...it came out in very dry tubes. It does still release some foam (yucky) into juice, but small strainer/sieve will catch it if you use one. Juice taste of very high quality (very strong celery flavor) & is fresher than other juicer made & makes a lot more juice from same amount of celery. Next morning my husband was sleeping & my small processer is loud so, I skipped that step & just chopped celery small & it yielded same results as day before. I noticed that it says you can put pulp back through for dryer pulp & more juice.... I did try it both days & truly the pulp was so dry it really didn't go through as easily & had to use pusher to get it to go down & it really only produced more foam which is dumped out anyway & not needed. Not an advantage to reuse the already very dry pulp. I only have had the one previous juicer to compare to. This machine is far Superior & yields a far Superior juice as well. Cleaning is a breeze as everything rinsed off easily & I have already recommended it to family.
