I have had this juicer for five years now and for its juicing class I really like it. I bought this to replace the end of a Juiceman line that was lost in a move. I have used other similar patterns when visiting friends and family. Compared to similarly priced juicers, this Waring model is a lot better in my opinion. It's reliable, fairly low maintenance and as efficient as you would expect from a centrifugal juicer. If you're looking for an entry-level juicer at this price point, you won't be disappointed. Note, however, that it doesn't eliminate the limitations typical of this type of juicer, specifically that they don't do a good job with leafy greens. Other issues: The basket that collects the pulp is small and internal, so more than two satisfying servings of juice require opening the entire device and cleaning out the pulp. Also, even carrots and apples are not pressed as efficiently. You can, of course, skip the mash a second time, but even that would require pausing and reopening the entire machine. Like centrifugal juicers in general, it rotates at a high speed, which is not as desirable for the quality of the juice produced, the noise level, and the amount of foam produced. However, these are typical problems with centrifugal juicers. The cleaning of the juicer is better than average on the arduous scale for a similar type of juicer in my opinion. The parts are mostly made of black plastic or steel, so they don't get very dirty and are relatively easy to clean. I really like the Steel Juicer. Feels much better than plastic and is very durable. The only tricky part of cleaning, as always, is the strainer in the pulp basket, which tends to pick up fine pulp and needs a thorough cleaning with a brush. But even that wasn't as bad as other similar juicers I've tried. Considering the cost savings, you may still have to live with these limitations. When I first bought it I was hesitant about buying this or one of the more expensive models as I knew I really liked it. Juice. In a way, I wish I'd spent more money since I just switched to an Omega 8004 juicer to process the veggies and wheatgrass I craved but couldn't really pump with this one. (I can't say enough about the Omega 8004, by the way. It's amazing.) Still, this energetic little guy was very inspirational. The more I squeezed juice, the more I wanted to squeeze juice. It's still going strong after very constant use and I plan on passing it on to someone just starting their adventure. If you're really unsure, it might be worth the cost, if only to know for sure if you need anything else. If you already know you're going to be juicing veggies on a regular basis, I wouldn't recommend it. But if you're looking for a simple, inexpensive, and reliable juicer that processes carrots, apples, citrus, ginger, and more well, this is definitely for you. To overcome the above limitations, you'll have to shell out a lot more than that. UPDATE NOVEMBER 2016: I've had this juicer for ten years now and it still works. For the money, you'll be hard pressed to find a better all-purpose juicer. I switched to an Omega juicer five years ago because I wanted to juice my veggies more efficiently. However, I left this one as well, since we are away from home for several months of the year and I like to leave the kitchen set up for the servants. It has worked great so far and more than justified the price I paid for it. This is a really good juicer for beginners. Hope that helps!
