Based on other reviews, I purchased this juicer as a cheap alternative to other masticating juicers. Upon receiving it, I immediately put it to work juicing various items. First in was the carrots. Although I expected that it would break the thing in minutes, the carrots were juiced fairly well. Granted, 4 old carrots gave about an ounce of juice, so you can expect to get a work out if you expect a full glass of the stuff. Next went some herbs (Dill and Basil). Given that it is similar to wheat grass, it's not surprising that the juicer easily handled these items. The last item I tried was 2 tomatoes. I don't think that these were hard enough for the juicer to handle. It seems like it ground the tomato, then tomato pulp came out of the juice spout. The screened juice capture device that I used seemed to catch any residual pulp, which was a lot with the tomato.

I've not had this for very long, but it seems to be a decent solution, especially for the price!

The juicer can get backed up pretty easily, causing juice to build up. But overall, it is a great alternative to an expensive electric juicer.

This is my first foray into juicing and the first juicer I have owned. I've had this juicer for about two months now and so far so good. Fairly easy clean up if you make sure to line the pulp container with a plastic bag--you can even find creative ways to use the pulp (muffins, soups/stews, smoothies) if you're feeling adventerous! It is pretty loud though, but I think that is to be expected. I've made some pretty tasty and healthy stuff and am really happy with this product.

The juicer does a good job of getting juice out of fruits and veggies.  The pulp is fairly dry and the unit is pretty easy to clean.

I bought this to do the 7 Pounds in 7 Days program and I've been very happy with it.  It is easy to use and assemble and is, from what I understand, pretty reasonable to clean (evidently juicers are just hard to clean).  As I've become more familiar with it I'm more efficient in how I load the chute and clean the machine so it takes less time to make juice.  I've used this multiple times a day for almost a month now and it works like a dream.  Of course I don't have experience with the more expensive juicers to compare, but I have to say for the price of this juicer it seems to get the job done and I'm not sure what else you could want from a juicer, except one that is self-cleaning!

I bought this juicer because I was looking for an easy way to make home-made OJ and also squeeze lemons. It works as expected, is relatively easy to clean and very easy to use.
The one downside is that if you are juicing 20-30 lemons at a time, like I do, you do have to lift of the strainer and clean it out a few times. But really, I don't think thats avoidable with any juicer.
Its great that it has 2 sizes..one for smaller lemons and one for larger oranges.
Am very satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it.

After seeing the movie Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead - I really wanted to start eating healthier.  I didn't want to extreme juice like in the movie, but I was interested in incorporating juicing into my diet, so I researched a lot of different brands, including reviews on YouTube.  I decided early on I did not want a big centrifugal juicer - my partner has an Acme which is a good juicer, but it's big, wide, heavy and loud.  It also is a bear to clean.  My list eventually was whittled down to a couple of upright masticating juicers - Omega VRT, SlowStar and Breville.  I was torn between those three and then I saw a review for the Kuvings and decided to go for it.  I'm glad I did - this juicer is easy to assemble, operate and clean.  It is very quiet, pretty fast and mashes the food to a dry pulp, so you do get more juice for fruits and veggies.  I also like the fact that it does not (aside from the juicer and pulp bowl) take up a lot room on the kitchen counter.  The one minor drawback is that it takes a little more extra time and effort to clean the pulp chute if you put in food that is stringy - like celery or beet stems and leaves.  The instructions say you need to alternate the foods as you're putting them in, but it doesn't seem to matter what I put in after the stringy stuff - it packs up the chute and you really need something small like tweezers to pull the stringy pulp out afterwards. I use a pair of small wooden bagel tongs.  If I only use hard stuff like carrots or apples, there's not an issue.  Also, the lid does not make a loud enough click to let you know it's really locked in place, so you need  to make sure it's twisted into place before starting the juicer. The machine will work even if the lid is not correctly locked in place, but you will know it's not cause the bowl lid will kind of look like it wants to come off.  Otherwise this is a really nice juicer and I would buy again or for friend.

An interesting way to juice by its vertical setup.  It works well and is very efficient.  It does have some lateral spray and can get messy with spills if you hold your oranges or lemons too close.  I like it because it saves space and uses the kitchen aid mixer without having to have another separate juicing machine.

After reading many reviews, I decided on this juicer.  I'm glad I did.  It's powerful and juices things quickly and efficiently.  I didn't find it as loud as other reviewers said it was.  It's a juicer, it's going to make noise.  I put a bag in the pulp dispenser so that part of the cleaning was a cinch.  I filled a wash bucket with warm soapy water and put each of the washable pieces in to soak briefly.  The parts come apart easily.  I don't drink the juice until the clean up is done.  I hate doing dishes, but the clean up wasn't as bad as many other reviewers said.  Prepare a bucket of soapy water, put a bag in the dispenser, wash pieces immediately, and then enjoy your yummy, healthy juice.

This juicer is simple and easy to use, and great for someone getting into juicing. Seems to handle all foods fine, except for leafy greens. Had to run the pulp through twice to get it even somewhat dry.

I am quite happy with my juicer. The only two complaints I have would be that it takes some time to make any amount of juice as it has a small opening in which to insert the fruits and vegetables. The second being juicing apples seems to be problematic 90% of the time.

I have not owned a juicer in quite a few years. So it was quite a treat to try out this one.

While it is plastic and lightweight, it appears to be quite durable. It juiced anything I "threw" at it, though as someone mentioned it occasionally gets to the point where the pulp builds up in the strainer, and it has to be cleaned out, especially with larger citrus. That's PROBABLY typical ... I remember my old one doing the same thing.

Best part of this one is that the container doubles as a pitcher.

Overall I like it very much.

I am a first time juicer with no experience with other juicers.  This one has worked well for my own need.  It is super easy to clean, but don't drop the spinner.  It bent very easily, but still works.  The extra pulp seems to be very wet (not completely juicing it all out).  I would recommend this juicer for people who don't want to spend more money.

In my search for a juicer, I borrowed this model from a friend.  It is a centrifugal juicer with two speeds, high and low.  It has a feed chute wide enough for three carrots or a small apple.  The motor is powerful and quiet.  It made juice with carrots, celery, cucumber, parsley, ginger, and lemon with no difficulty.  I also frequently made pomegranate juice by dropping the seeds down the chute with the motor running on low for fabulous fresh pomegranate juice (takes a while to remove the jewel seeds from the pith, but the juice was great).  The pulp bin contained only the seeds by doing it this way.  I found that when I put the seeds in the chute before I turned on the machine, I got a lot of juicy pulp, but by dropping them in after the motor was running I got a lot of juice and the pulp bin full of dry seeds.

Like all juicers it has a large footprint on counter space.  It comes with a covered pitcher that prevents the juice from splattering the kitchen.  The pitcher also has a foam-skimmer top.  The pulp bin snuggles up to the motor base (line the bin with a produce bag to avoid having to wash it).

The two things that I didn't care for were the plastic juice catcher part and the difficulty in taking it apart to clean.  The part that catches the juice inside the machine is made of white plastic that stains easily from brightly pigmented fruits and vegetables.  I would have preferred it to be made of stainless steel.  That is only a cosmetic issue, but it was very hard to take the juice strainer out of the housing to clean the pieces.  I had to lift up the spout and back of the catch basin to wiggle it out.  This is why I removed one star from an otherwise excellent machine.  I would avoid making juice because I didn't want to take it apart and clean it.

For the price it is an excellent juicer, but it might be worth paying extra money to get one that comes apart easily to clean if you are going to be using it everyday.

PROS:
Very quiet
Powerful motor
Extracts a lot of juice

CONS:
Hard to take apart to clean

UPDATE 2/24/12
I ended up purchasing a Breville reconditioned Ikon for about $100 here on Amazon.  It is really easy to take apart and clean, BUT it doesn't juice as well as the BellaCucina.  Even on the lowest speed it can't do pomegranates.  When I feed it leafy greens I just end up with a bin full of vegetable slaw.  Hmmmm.  Also, Breville is reluctant to stand by warranty.  I dropped the juice collector (the part the shredder basket sits in) and it broke the first day I had the machine.  Breville did replace the part, but let me know they were doing me a big favor, since parts aren't covered.

I purchased this juicer for juicing lemons during my 10 day Master Cleanse. This juicer is so easy to use and it gets the job done! I love it!

So far I have only juiced with it. Results: just right. It does the job. Much better results than a centrifugal juicer. The pulp is very dry with maximum juice extracted. Easy to use, just some assembly required. Get to know the parts and pieces before assembling...and read the instruction manual before getting started. This model has a narrow chute, so be sure to cut the vegetables or fruit in small pieces.

Ordered through Amazon. No problems. Delivered on-time. The item is a large item, so they placed it in an even larger box, so it is bulky. Other than that, no worries.
