Is it easy to clean? I just bought Black and Decker juice and it pain in the neck each time I clean it.

It's not bad at all. It is so modular, all of the pieces can be cleaned seperately. The only tricky part is the screen/blade section, but I would guess that it is similar to other juicers.

Yes, as long as it is cleaned right after use. The operative words are 'right after'. :)

I love my juicer. What a machine! I just brought in some key limes to try before answering your inquiry. I was able to juice them by pressing my palm over the limes. Not perfect like the oranges but works.

Things I hate the juices tend not to drain into pan they drip on the edge which in turn ends up on your counter. The none sticking part is a lie things do stick. You have to clean the part you cook on then the pan that is suppose to and I suppose to catch the juices and then you have to clean the part that holds everything. All in all it is a pain and I wish I had not spent my money on it. They need to fix the drip issue.

it is very good for water and juice, but it is not easy to clean, maybe you can choose the cleaning tool.

I have trouble with taking it apart also. The best way is to switch the orange sliding switch all the way to left to release the clear top. Take that off and grab a hold of the white section with they blade and lift and wiggle/ shake til it releases. It's a pain but for a cheaper small juicer not to bad. Hope that helps:-)

I have had mine for 2 years and use it daily I never have had a problem I have heard others say that thy break. the only fix is to buy a new one and do not apply a lot of pressure unnecessarily. You can buy a commercial grade one but costs a lot more worth it . if you do a lot of juicing.

There are about 5 or 6 parts to clean. Everything is easy but the pulp basket and pulp chute. The basket has a special 'basket tool' to make it pretty easy to clean. You'll need a long dental tool or similar thing to pull out the pulp that remains in its little chute. All in all, it's not too bad. I just rinse everything well right after juicing. And I don't use soap often at all. Let it all drip dry.

I think it is easy to clean. The most important thing is to clean the metal "blade" soon after juicing while everything is still moist. Although, when I'm in a hurry, I have left for later cleaning and I just put the blade/basket in water and soak it until I can finish the job. A brush is provided and I do use it.

My juicer has not clogged up. I like the pulp so I do not try to restrict it. I believe that you can adjust the fittings to reduce pulp in the juice. In have not tried it. Overall, I really like the juicer.

It is a fact that the battery does suck up the juice. I remove the battery when I am not using the collar, usually overnight.

It really is not too bad. Much, Much easier than a Jack Lalanne power juicer. The big differences is: everything rinces AND you don't have to worry about getting cut.

I've owned a twin gear juicer and now this one. The Kuvings juicer is BY FAR must easier and quicker to clean. Once you do it a couple of times, it becomes an easy routine.

Mary Lou, we purchased one of these units. Appears to be more powerful than most. Top section that is actually does the juicing comes aprt and can go into the dishwasher if needed, only two or three pieces. The base with the spout, I think is attached to the power unit and I would not recommend putting the electrical power unit in a dishwasher, it would probably ruin the electrical components. I will look at it closer tonight to see if the spout base comes off the unit

I can only compare it to my old Champion juicer, which was such a pain to operate with leafy greens.(the hole was too small and the leaves would make the plunger stick). So by comparison the Breville is AWESOME, I juiced some kale a few days ago and got a decent amount, the pulp was very dry. Have not tried other greens, but imagine it would be efficient.

My juice was never warm . I think it depends how on how you juice. When you keep going with filling the juicer with the outworked stuff, it might worm it up a bit in the process, but it is not warm in the glass.

* Slower spin speeds is a definite plus.* As of, "easier/more convenient to use"? This one flies by all of the others, in my opinion. Other people I know have a vertical juicer and one person said to me, when we were juicing apples & had to clean up, that this one is a lot faster clean-up time. * My next point is that I only have one well working hand, b/c of a T.B.I. that happened in 2003. Live on my own now & this juicer takes me minimal time to clean-up, I'd say about 5 minutes or less; as long as you clean it right away, so all the juice pulp & the juice itself doesn't dry on to the juicer parts. * * Slower spin speeds is a definite plus.* As of, "easier/more convenient to use"?

Leafy greens are tough. I do it almost every time I juice, but the yield is disappointing. If you roll the wheat grass into a tight ball you will get some juice, but not nearly as much as with a slow juicer.
