Great overall juicer
By kimnmeplus3boys
I requested this juicer as a present because I hated to borrow my neighbors all canning season long and wanted to stay in the budget of the purchaser. I used this to process peaches, grapes and plums. I love this juicer.

Pros:
Unit nests together for compact storage.
Large top basket allows me to fill it up and forget it for a while.
Super easy to use.

Cons:
Since this unit is aluminum, you get a lightweight metal that can be dented or warped with some abuse.
The clamp is slightly troublesome. It didn't always shut completely and it dropped some juice. I just made sure to check it before walking away.
Plastic handles feel a little cheap, but you get what you pay for.

If I need to get another juicer, I will probably get a stainless steel one, but don't regret getting this one at all. Make sure that you put a marble or two in the bottom of the unit with the water. They will start to bounce around when the water gets low to warn you so you don't boil it dry.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!
By cforbush
I made apricot juice with this and plum juice. the whole house smelledf wonderful while doing it, plus it saves a lot of time from the old "boil and strain" method. IT did take a little longer than the instructions said, but that may be because I used a lot of fruit, or because of difference in altitides. This is a MUST for canning juice.

Outstanding Performance
By Pale 2 Porter
I made this purchase off from a suggestion from a colleague that has been using one for years. My initial need was to make hard cider and I did not have access to a cider press and the stuff you buy in the store is loaded with preservative. In less than an hour I was able to turn 2 pecks of apples into juice and I ran the pulp through a food mill to make apple sauce for my self and my 7 month old baby. Very little prep is needed, just wash your produce and if it is large cut it in half or quarters and toss it in the basket. The juice from the unit rivaled that of freshly pressed and it is already pasturized. I can't wait to try it out on other seasonal produce. I plan on purchasing 2 more for my mother and brother that make wine. I brew beer and will use it for adjunts to my seasonal ales.
