So far so good!: Centrifugal Juicer

Received this today and started juicing right away. I've juiced kale, celery, spinach, red oranges, navel oranges, strawberries, celery, cucumbers, grapefruit, and apples. I try to consume mostly green juices to get more veggies in my diet and I hope to drink juice every day for breakfast or lunch. However, I'm lazy so this should be quick and easy. I drank juice while making dinner in an Instant Pot, ate, and then drank some more juice. I started juicing around 7am, took a lunch break of about 45 minutes and finished by 10pm including cleaning and toddler, teen and teen breaks. Just being a mom and having everything takes twice as long lol. Anyway, I got the recommended glass bottles from Revain, filled all 6 and used up a lot of ingredients. A lot of pulp is left over. I used a grocery bag as others have recommended for easier cleaning. The only reason I removed the star is because it doesn't have its own filler neck. I had to use a Tupperware that was short enough to fit under the spout but allowed for drips, and then I had to transfer it to the only thing I had with a spout, which was a kettle, so I could put it in my glass bottles could pour. . So it was a bit annoying and added to cleanup. I hope to do 6 bottles in one session each week. On the mast, it's fun to watch the vegetables and fruit being destroyed! Oh, and my favorite green juice so far is kale, cucumber, and apple. Not a fan of celery or spinach in bulk. I look forward to trying other combinations. Oh, and strawberries don't seem to juice very well, but it certainly adds a nice color to the juice! Edit 2/3/19: My husband and I made 6 bottles today and with his help it was a lot quicker to cut everything. I upped it to 5 stars because this time I used my brain and pulled out one of my measuring cups with a spout and it fit perfectly under the spout and I was able to pour into glass bottles without mess. He also wants to start drinking juice with me, so we should use this machine more often. This is probably the third time I've used it since I bought it. Green juices are very easy to make, and if you add a few apples or an orange, they will turn out sweet. I usually do 1 1/2 cucumbers, a couple handfuls of spinach, a handful of kale, and then either 3 apples and an orange, or just 4 apples. I know it's probably sweeter than most, but that makes them enjoyable to eat. I've also made similar proportions and added things like ginger and lemon that give it a nice tangy feel when I'm in the mood.
