So far so good. Good: Quiet, powerful, good-looking, several speeds, large opening. You will be silently whizzing through whole apples with this slick little beauty. Bad: It has more parts to be cleaned than some. The foam-control pitcher works well, but it has an extra part, and there's another ring inside the machine that comes out that I think is for either foam or pulp control. So, you will be washing like 8 parts in exchange for that functionality. I didn't think it was that hard to just spoon off the froth, personally. It might have been easier. They could have taken that stainless steel and used it on parts that were likely to break rather than on a cosmetic facade. I hate to judge something that hasn't broken yet, but it sure looks like the hinge that secures the top section will be the first thing to break, and I wish they had used the stainless for that. It's sneaky to use stainless to make something appear more sturdy than it is. I love the handle catch/release mechanism, but again it's made of plastic, with a stainless facade. I wouldn't bet on it surviving a few years. The hold button on the speed selector is cool, and a pretty blue flashing light ring indicates that it is on hold. Maybe I am jaded, but again I feel like there's a chip in there that will just die at some point and leave me with an unusable machine. I like cars with hand window cranks for the same reason though. It could depend on how high a priority the bells and whistles are for you. Note to Cuisinart: We're all sick of Chinese junk. Use the stainless where it counts. The pusher-downer thing has a cool domed shape on the top to fit your palm, but when you're juicing, you really want to stand it upside down on the counter while you put in more veggies, which I have tried many times only to have it of course fall right over because it is round on top. Note to Cuisinart: Make it flat in the next generation. All in all, so far this has been a real pleasure to operate. If it lasts, it will be just an amazing machine; however, just from looking at the philosophy of it, I don't feel confident that it was built to last. It was built to be beautiful and slick and work well, but it has a bit of a Cadillac feel about it. I'm more of a '80s Volvo guy. If you want to save a lot of money, you can get that Hamilton Beech 800-watt one that has the same size opening and similar power, with fewer parts to clean. It is louder and has no flashing light, but I had one of those for about three years before it died on me. Will the Cuisinart be less durable, the same, or more durable? Time will tell.Read full review
I bought this product to see if I would like juicing. A better price in case I didn't like to juice. I haven't used others but have seen the better juicers in action at the local wellness center. This works good for your basic getting to know what you are doing experience. It's does leave pulp quite wet so it's not the best. I will puchase a better one down the road a little. It does do a really decent job and is fairly easy to clean and operate. It will be passed to someone like my daughter in the future so not a total waste of money.
It works great! However the food pusher is wrong part, I manage to find them, So I order the parts I need. Cost me 15.00. There are no booklet instruction. I found it so I manage to find those I printed all 11 sheet printing done. I like the machine I am keeping it. 5 stars. It amazed me how much liquid came out Best kind I ever used.

I purchased this juicer as a gift for my son and daughter-in-law. They absolutely love it. They said it's easy to use, easy to clean and does a great job of juicing. This is not the first Cuisinart product I have purchased so I had no problem buying this. The Cuisinart products have always been reliable & dependable.
