We have had this juicer at work for 12 years... It's simply unbeatable. It juices quickly, it's sturdy in construction, and it has a powerful motor. The only negatives are that it has a plastic cone and container, which over time create white spots due to the acidity of oranges or any other citrus fruits you want to juice. The base where we place the glass is also plastic. It's natural wear and tear, just be careful with the plastic parts when cleaning... They are not stainless steel... The cord is neither short nor long... Cleaning it is very easy and it has a non-slip base... It is heavy as a device and its cone does not have handles for stirring the pulp of the citrus fruits... Its sieve is neither too fine nor too coarse... It also does not have a drip stop system... As you can see, it's old school... As for its price, it's a bit steep. I would prefer it to be more affordable... It's great, it has never had any issues, and it makes 15 to 20 juices every day for the past 12 years... Perfection doesn't exist anywhere... There will always be things that bother us as long as they are insignificant...
