Convenient
This is a nice juicer with a quality feel to it. Here is what I like about it, and where I see room for minor improvement:
The Good:
- Very easy to assemble, and more importantly very easy to clean. I just briefly rinse after use and then put the parts in the top dishwasher rack (minus the part housing the motor, of course).
- Operation is clean, i.e. no juice hits the counter top, everything goes inside the pitcher.
- I especially like the two cone sizes: The smaller one is for lemons and limes, the larger which goes on top of the smaller cone when needed, for grapefruits and oranges.
- The smaller cone (which is always in) also features two plastic "blades" (called stirrers in the manual) at the bottom edge which rotate with the cone and help that juice and, if so desired, pulp actually make it into the pitcher through the strainer openings. One of the pet peeves I always had about manual juicers was the fact that the strainer got clogged with pulp and...

No value
Plastic parts/gears wore out in less than two bags of oranges juiced. Maybe okay if only used once or twice a year. Better off getting something else.
Edit: My son and I took it apart since it was on the way to the dump. It turns out the gears were okay and it was just a poor design for turning the unit on. Pressure down the stem pushes on a switch turning on the small electric motor. There is too much play in the stem which requires increasing force to activate the motor. We came up with a simple fix...a small round head phillips screw (about #10) in the hole at the base of the stem takes up the slack and it seems to work consistently again. To open the unit remove 6 small phillips screws and 1 torx screw (you'll need a special small torx screwdriver). We'll see how long it lasts now.
Does the Job
I was in the market for a juicer, but didn't want to take up more space in our cabinets or counter. I didn't anticipate using the juicer a lot, maybe every few weeks. Now that I have access to Grandma's oranges on her orange tree, I will be using this every few days until there are no more oranges or I get tired of drinking fresh orange juice. Here are some pros and cons:
PROS:
*Compact size, doesn't take up too much space.
*Good price point.
*It does the job!
*Easy to dis/assemble and wash.
*Little "nubs" on the bottom that help hold the power cord wound around during storage.
CONS:
*Even on the "max pulp" setting, a lot of pulp from our oranges starts to accumulate after about 5 oranges.
*The plastic lid that goes on top of the juicer body does not stay in place. I think the lip inside the juicer container is too small. Any small touches on the lid makes it fall into the juice. (Totally annoying, IMO)
