really needed this juicer..looked beautiful and well made...first glass of pineapple juice just completed noticed smoke filled the whole room..to scared to use again. i am so disappointed as i thought this was a lovely presented juicer and will now have to go and return it. i guess i will try again with a new one.

If there was a minus star, that would have been my choice.
I returned the 1st one, it died after its 2nd use, replaced it with the same model, that didn't make it through its 1st juice.
Save your money, and the effort of constantly returning and DON'T buy this model.

Our 3rd juicer. Thrilled to bits with it. Use it every day. Powers through carrots apples as well as oranges etc. It is a little bit loud but VERY fast. Very east to clean up Recommended highly. Discarded pulp very dry as out gets all the juice out. Kills the other juicers we have had.

Literally the second time using it, was juicing an apple and half way through it decided to die and won't turn back on.
It was a work gift so I don't have a receipt.
Really disappointed as I had just got back from the fruit and vegetable shop and was looking forward to having some juice.

Was given to me as a Christmas gift.
It juices well and haven't had any issues with fruit of veggies getting stuck. It is time consuming to clean and put back together but all in all a good unit for the cost. We only use the juicer once every week or so.

Great juicer so happy with my new machine. You get more juice unlike my previous Breville machine.
The machine i find is not too loud.
Cleaning. You cannot get around you are buying a juicer not a bullet. Place a large freezer bag in the pulp container and it is one part less to wash up.
I juice twice a day. Spinach, Carrot & Beets to start the day. Then Citrus fruits separate as too much mixed together is not good for the digestive system.

I received the juicer for Christmas and love it! It extracts maximum juice and is easy to use. I'm looking forward to using one of the recipes for using the pulp as they sound delicious.

This is the most well-designed appliance I have ever used.It was recommended to me as a reasonably priced juicer.I purchased it from Harvey Norman for $109 with a retail value of $159. As whole medium-sized apples and other things can be placed in it whole there's almost nil preparation time. I like kale and parsley with my juices and it works well to sandwich these softer items between two harder items in the feeder. It is so brilliant to use and cleaning is just as brilliant. I hope it lasts as it is one of the best designed pieces of equipment I have ever used. Pulp comes out quite dry which results in more juice.Whoever designed it should win a design award.

I was initially quite happy with this juicer and we were using it nearly every day. Although quite loud, the motor seemed to be very capable of juicing all sorts of fruits and vegetables. But after a bit more then 2 months, it just stopped in the middle of juicing. There was no heavy load on it (I think i was juicing Oranges at the time), it just stopped. So it is back with Sunbeam in Auckland since 2 weeks and I am waiting for it to be fixed. Just called to get an update on the repair and was told nobody looked at it yet :-(.
I am missing my juice ...
Wide chute, strong motor, brushed stainless steel look
Motor unreliable

I purchased this not long ago and have used it daily without any hitches. It juices all manner of fruit and vegetables and it works brilliantly. A bit bulky but that is what you would expect from any juicer I have seen. I also found it is very easy to clean with just a rinse in the sink although you need to scrub the sieve with the brush it comes with but that only takes a minute. Summing up, it is well worth the money. Also comes with recipes which are excellent.
