September 2022 Update:My juicer is still working very well and I learned that, yes, it will juice carrots as long as I cut the pieces small or use shredded carrots! Pineapple is wonderful, too. Cut into small chunks and put them in last because it’s a more fibrous fruit. The same with carrots. What I do is - as the machine is so easy to disassemble- take off the extruded spout and the filter, give them a quick scrub with the brush provided and reassemble to do the carrots or pineapple.A cool TIP I got from another person is to put a small garbage bag in the extruder jar to keep it clean and have one less thing to wash! Then all you do is take it out with all the pulp (if you’re not going to use it) and toss it in the garbage. One and done!I’m still loving the benefits of juicing for my health. My skin has cleared up so well. I honestly have more energy during the day, and as I’m purposely juicing for chronic pain from my various disabilities, I’m better able to reduce the inflammation and pain so much better juicing specific recipes aimed for that purpose. Of course, I have my doctors’ guidance and have incorporated exercise and soothing at-home therapies WITH juicing. This juicer is truly worth having. I pray it helps others, also. God Bless all ??~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My JOCUU masticating juicer arrived in its original manufacturer’s box well taped and addressed. No damage to the box, thankfully. Each individual piece was properly wrapped in plastic and secured in a molded cardboard form inside the box. All parts are in clean pristine condition. After washing and properly drying each part, I assembled the machine according to the instructions. Only concern was on the direction for the filter piece. I wasn’t sure if that piece was to be inserted completely INSIDE over the auger, but figured it out. Still not certain if it’s supposed to CLIP IN to the “housing” because there doesn’t seem to be anything to snug it into.I cut up some apples into small chunks because this machine crushes and squeezes the produce via the auger, unlike a centrifugal juicer, so you don’t want to force large pieces into it. Chop up your pieces about the size of your first thumb joint or smaller. {DO NOT FORCE the pieces through or go too fast or the machine WILL jam.} I added a thawed from frozen blend of strawberries, cherries, blueberries and kale (all previously chopped), three different types of grapes. I stopped the machine every minute or so to go between soft and hard setting according to my items. As long as I added the pieces slowly and didn’t rush everything processed very nicely. The juice yield was much higher and so much richer than with my centrifugal juicer, with much less foam. The pulp extruded into the catch cup properly and mostly dry. I like some pulp so I put a little bit back into my drink container.I’m not sure how it’ll work with carrots or harder produce like beetroot so I think I’ll use my centrifugal for those as advised by more experienced and professional folks.In summation, my blend turned out much tastier than I thought it would! Disassembly was simple and wash up easier than with my centrifugal machine. So far I’m very happy with this juicer and can recommend it, especially for SOFTER fruits, vegetables; things easily mashable. As advised by one of my juicing class instructors, use cold press/masticating machines for softer produce, centrifugal for harder more sturdy items.Bright Blessings to you and your health ??Did a great job with all of the veggies and fruit I used, just have to cut things like apples smaller so they don’t get stuck.I honestly really like this juicer. It’s easy to assemble, easy to clean, and juices well! My only complain is that the pulp is still wet. I put it through on soft again and it works better.Very compact, easy to clean And reassembleThis cold press juicer is amazing, small but powerful, very easy to use, easy to clean and assemble. Much better then some of the bigger name brands. The juice comes out perfect. This is a great investment. Health is wealth.it’s a good juicer for the price, i used it 3 times so far but The pulp is not always dry so i gotta run it through the juice once.Got this as a present to a family member and they love the juicer, smaller parts that are easy to clean and assemble. No mess. Juices the fruit better than the previous juicer we had. Treat it well and I’m sure it’ll work for a good while.I am happy with this purchase; I use it everyday for my celery juice. The reason I gave it onlyA four star is because the assembling is difficult, specifically with the last component as you put it together.If you have arthritis in your hands, this will be a problem, as you will need strength to turn it; hence, you will depend on someone to do it for you.I spent ages comparing masticating (slow) juicers and finally decided on this. I have to say that I absolutely love it. My kitchen doesn't have much work surface space so I wanted something small and compact and this fits perfectly. It can make up to 700ml of juice in a session. Handles carrots, parsnips, apples and leafy veg and fish herbs with ease. A great purchase!No me fiaba mucho de estas máquinas porque siempre dudaba en si sacaban bastante zumo o si era bien liquido, sin restos y el tema de la limpieza me preocupaba, no queria que fuera un engorro limpiarlas, pues bien, con esta máquina cambié mi opinión completamente. Se monta fácil, se limpia fácil, muy fácil!!! Saca muchisimo zumo sin nada de restos y la pulpa sale muy seca. Puede con todo, zanahoria, apio, col morada..una compra perfecta! Un 10Pensé que era estupenda,ideal. Con fruta y con verduras como zanahoria apio espinacas todo bien. La probé durante 11 días una vez por día y todo bien,pero, comenzaron los problemas. No podía desmonarlo para fregarlo,era imposible. Es por donde sale la pulpa. Se atascaba tan fuerte que tuve que necesitar ayuda, no teníamos fuerzas en las manos, y por eso mi temor a que se rompiera porque cada vez era peor en pocos días vi de cómo se deteriorada producto.No tuve problemas en la devolución fueron muy profesionales y tengo que decirlo a su favor.
