Any websearch on this machine will turn up results and reviews. So, skipping what is otherwise easily googled, here's the skinny.
It is inexpensive so far as juicers go, so take that into consideration. It is noisy, almost as bad as a blender. It vibrates, but doesn't walk across the counter. It can be mitigated by checking the extractor basket runout. It's only held in place with ball detents and can be removed and replaced without tools. See which of the three directions it mounts and mark the bottom with paint once you find the least wobble. Next the spout is too stubby and splashes your juice all over the place. As seen in the pic, I have a one quart Gladlock jar under the spout, with a towel quarterfolded under it. Lastly it ejects some pulp in the juice. The fresher your vegetables the more juice and the less pulp you get. In addition, if you load the chute up and push the plunger down, you'll bog the motor down and get less juice and more pulp. Chop things up and run handfuls at a time, just lifting the plunger up and letting it fall.
My review? Good availabilty and price for almost acceptable quality. Very good starter machine for someone wanting to give juicing a try. It's smaller than a lot of premium machines so there's less wasted counter and/or cabinet space. RTFM for best results, and keep an old toothbrush handy.
