Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

*UPDATE* I bought this juicer, read and followed the directions to a T. I have been juicing for over twenty years and this is my third juicer. I made vegetable juice once or twice a day for two weeks, slicing all the vegetables to the recommended size. Yesterday as I finished my glass of juice, I found BLACK PLASTIC SHAVINGS at the bottom of my cup! When I cleaned the parts, I could see that the ridges at the end of the auger were flattened and sharp on the edges where they had been rounded and shiny. I could see that the metal filter is shaving the plastic off of the auger!! Y’all do NOT buy this juicer, unless you’re okay with drinking plastic shavings! I filed a report with Amazon on this being a safety hazard. I am nursing an infant and am horrified that I have been investing plastic shavings! I’m disgusted and appalled. They offered to replace this product, but I am not comfortable risking this same situation again. I am meticulous at following directions and this juicer was not physically damaged in any way. Normal use caused this. I was thrilled to find a masticating juicer at this price point and now I find out in my quest to care for my health that it’s been putting PLASTIC into my body! I’m livid and disgusted. Please protect yourself and find a different juicer. I should have believed the other reviewers who reported this. It was dumb of me to think they must have been using it improperly. What a fantastic juicer! I have been juicing for years (mostly vegetable juices) and have used a number of juicers. This is the best I have used for flavor, clean-up (which is HUGE - so fast and easy to clean). I cannot believe this juicer is available at such a fantastic price. So happy I read the reviews and decided to order it. I have never had a juicer that was this quick and easy to clean. It is SO quiet. It easily juices kale leaves, fennel, citrus and ginger. Love, love love!
