Hi, I am the grinch and did purchase this product. I recommend this product to anybody that needs to juice fruits or anything worth juicing. I unpacked the box and read the directions. They are straight forward plus the machine is almost together already. I plugged the machine in and as the direction stated I cut the fruits into nothing larger than 2 inches. The machine pulled the fruit down and I saw the juices come right out of the fruit. It was wonderful to see it work. I wish I could of taken pictures to share. The pulp comes right out into one cup and the juice in another cup very fast and easy. One bag of pairs made three cups of juice that was very tasty and wonderful to drink.I then tried it with strawberries, I cut the berries up so that nothing was larger than 2 inches. I did a carton of berries in about one minute. The machine is not loud at all but it does hum.Then I took Oranges with the peel on them and did half a bag. I did cut then in half and half again then put them in juicer. The juicer took them down and I could see the juice coming out, I could see the whole process happening each time and It was very cool to see. I did five Oranges and that gave me two cups to drink with pulp. It tasted wonderful.I did clean the machine between each fruit, the machine was easy to take apart and rinsed everything off very easy with my hose outside. Now the machine is ready for the next challenge.I do highly recommend this machine. This machine would be great for a family to juice their favorite drinks. You can use the pulp and the juice, so nothing is wasted.The Grinch
