UPDATE 7/15/2020: (Yes... one day later after my original review) I've been juicing larger batches in one sitting (6-10 cups worth of juice) so that I can transfer the juice to a large pitcher and save them for later, and thus avoid having to juice every day. While it still works well and the pulp comes out dry, a recurring issue is that the chamber (where the auger is crushing the produce against the metal strainer) gets clogged with pulp easily. This seems to worsen with cucumbers with skin on, even after chopping them up into small cubes before feeding into the juicer. The only practical solution is to turn off the juicer, disassemble, rinse out the parts (there is a LOT of pulp that falls off during this process), then reassemble and continue juicing. It's a little annoying having to do this two or three times, as a previous and cheaper juicer that my friend owned did not do this, BUT considering how dry the pulp comes out, I'd say that this is a minor setback that I can deal with.7/14/2020: After doing some research, I decided to go with a masticating slow juicer for larger volume yield, better nutritional value, better taste, and longer shelf life in the fridge (as I hate having to juice every day and prefer to juice in big quantities and store them in the fridge for later).I'm not some juicing guru who's been juicing for 20 years and has gone through dozens of brands and models; I'm just a novice who got tired of buying expensive juices from stores. Having said that, I think this does the job very well so far. I've used it about 4-5 times now for celery, apples, cucumber, ginger, and lemon with no hiccups. The pulp comes out very dry, so I know I'm getting my money's worth! It produces a little bit of foam and spits out the occasional cucumber seed into the juice, but not as much as the old no-name brand juicer my friend owns.I'm not sure if the auger is metal or very heavy duty plastic, but it seems sturdy. The product comes with a cleaning brush, which comes in handy when removing the pulp from the metal strainer. It's very easy to (dis)assemble. Hopefully this holds up for at least a few years with heavy daily use! Will update if anything comes up.
