KuvingsNJE-3580U Masticating Slow Juicer, Silver

This thing is a workhorse. I’m going on a juice fast, so I’ve been using it multiple times a day for the past 27 days and it just keeps chugging along. It’s super easy to disassemble, clean and reassemble. It makes excellent juice and the pulp is very dry. It’s small size makes it perfect for using in tiny kitchens, like the one in my apartment. If I have any complaint, it’s just that the feeding tube is so small that it takes extra time to prep everything. But in the grand scheme of things, that's pretty minor.

This is my 3rd juicer. Do not buy this if it's going to be your first. This is my first masticating juicer. It comes with a ton of attachments that I will probably never use. I will not use the pasta maker. I probably won't be grinding anything. Lots of parts to clean up. I juice almost daily.Pros: Juice yield is more than my previous Le Quip juicer. That juicer was easier to use and easier to clean. Fewer moving parts. The yield is the most positive I can say about it. I would have been turned off from juicing if this had been my first.Cons: Feed chute is really narrow. More cutting. It doesn't do leafy vegetables like kale easily. One reviewer suggested to do it last. I do it in the beginning and alternate celery with it otherwise it will clog. This juicer takes longer so I now do a double batch because juicing is more cumbersome.The motor seems strong enough but I've only had it a month. I have resigned myself to use it until I burn it out. I burned out the Le Quip in about 9 months.That seems too soon. I only do green juice so it isn't as though I'm constantly putting it under strain. Upgraded to masticating when it died and I haven't been impressed. Decided to give it a try rather than return it. I am still just tolerating it. Don't love it.

I am very pleased with this juicer. It lets me throw most anything in it and never hesitates. The juice that you get is very good. It does have some pulp, generally creating a drink a little thinner than that of an Orange Julius. I like this has it means I still get some of the fruit/vegetable fiber that is so good for me while creating a delicious on-the-go drink.In addition the nozzle heads that come with this juicer are a God send for so many other activities. It makes great pesto, mincing and grinding what I don't have the patience to chop into tiny pieces. The pasta function is great!! I am gluten free and can't seem to find GF egg noddles anywhere. They were easy to make with this machine. The key is consistent, smooth feeding of the dough into the machine.In general I would recommend this juicer to anyone. Will your juice be like juice out of a can (ie. zero pulp)? No, but I think that is kind of the point.Follow-Up (3-6-13): We've had the juicer for several months now and it still works like the day it came out of the package. We are still very happy with it.

I was excited about my purchase until I used it. It seemed like it would do quite a bit of things, but I immediately learned otherwise. I tried juicing fruits, but it barely got any juice from them. My sister let me use her much cheaper juicer and the amount of juice I got from hers, using the same type of fruit, was incredible. This product is pretty pricey considering it barely juices and other much cheaper products out perform it by far. A juicer that was less than 1/3 the price of this one out performed this juicer. I am happy to be getting rid of this and have already bought a different juicer that actually gets MUCH more juice out of the same fruits, than this one did (at least 3 times more juice). Plus this thing takes up too much space on the counter and is super heavy. I tried giving it to my sister, but she hated it too and refused it because she saw how terrible it performed for herself when I was juicing those fruits (bananas and strawberries). So I am returning it. Unfortunately I am also stuck paying the almost $20 to return this item that does not work as advertized; you expect to get juice when using a juicer. If I were to keep this I would be throwing away so much money from all the food wasted by this thing. Extremely disappointing not only in performance but also having to pay the return shipping.
