From the few juicers with stainless steel parts, there are only 2 or 3 on the market, hence my choice. Very sturdy construction, it squeezes as fast as it should (one glass in 1 minute), relatively heavy in the hand but the quality is top-notch. The design is exceptional, a gem for the kitchen. The power of the motor may not convince and may be considered low by some, but the violent extraction of juice with a stronger motor (apart from the increased noise and mess it creates), destroys the valuable vitamins of the orange and lemon.
