 9 Years and Going StrongJul 20, 2010
I bought this juicer 9 years ago and realistically use it at least 200 times a year. It is a reliable workhorse and my previous juicers, including the Juiceman Juicer lasted 2-3 years tops. During the past 9 years I have replaced the cutting blade twice, about every three years as it starts to dull. The paper filters are a must for easy cleanup and to not clog the filter basket - buying more filters is highly recommended.
I use this mostly for carrot and apple juice. I also own the expensive Citrus Attachment which works very well. The juice is delicious but expensive. Do not think that juicing yourself saves money over store bought juice, it doesn't. The difference is in the quality of the juice - fresh, unfiltered and loaded with potent nutrients. I believe in the virtues of juicing and it is often my recovery drink after workouts. It is one of those lifestyle habits that will pay many dividends over the years.
I suspect my juicer still has many years left in it. When it does break I will replace it with the same type. Also, not sure if there is any difference between this one and the Acme model.

Consistent use, keeps on going....Jul 26, 2008
This is an excellent product! My parents have been using it for several years now. They have been on a vegetable high diet and juicing every day for all of those years. My Mom, a rather uptight person as far as taking care of things (it still looks like new), has just a couple complaints about it. She never puts celery into it because it gets a bit jammed up. And she doesn't enjoy the couple of minutes it takes to clean out the inside. She uses a rubber spatula and scrapes it. After that and a rinse, there seems to be no ugly residue left over to build-up and cause problems over time.
It gets a LOT of juice out of every vegetable. Even single leaves of basil relinquish their essence.
It's got an almost calming hum. The engine sounds solid. It's not overly heavy (my mom's 72 and moves it around with the help of her vegetable diet of course).
I am currently "enjoying" one of her carrot, cauliflower, basil, oregano, spinach mixes!
It's worth the money. Get one, take care of it and it will help you get healthy (depending on what you put into it of course)..

 A few tips for effortless use!Jun 21, 2006
After reading the other reviews, I almost reconsidered my purchase. However, the juicer works great - as long as you follow a few tips.
1) Make sure the lid is thoroughly clipped on TIGHT! Check once, then check again.
2) Don't use the paper filters, particularly if you are juicing in quantity. Once I threw mine in the trash, the balancing issues went away immediately. It makes clean up a little harder, but if you scrape the outside with a hard toothbrush under running water right after use, it's not a big deal.
3) If the item being juiced won't go through, be patient, and pulse-push it in. Don't cram it with the pusher.
My only concern is that when you juice quantities, so much pulp sticks to the side it's hard for all of the juice out to strain out. It's best to rinse the drum off every couple of cups of juice.
Using the above tips - I expect to be giving this juicer some heavy use for a long time.

Great Juicer, but hold on to the lid!Jan 15, 2005
I purchased this juicer about a year ago, and it's been great. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars from me is that when it gets unbalanced, you have to make sure to hold the lid on, because it shakes and vibrates a whole lot. The juice is great, the cleanup is easy, if a bit time-consuming, and the motor is very powerful. I'd definitely recommend this juicer!

This device is the greatest.Jan 04, 2005
Have been drinking vegetables for maybe 15 years. Started with a cheap machine. It broke right away. Spent over $200 on a very good quality masticating machine. That thing will outlast me. But I found it prohibitively difficult to clean. It made the whole process so laborious that I never used it. So finally I decided to find a good machine that was easy to clean. Let me tell you, this is it. All parts that touch vegetables are stainless steel so they do not stain. The machine really impresses with its build quality. The juice is simply delicious. I now consume many more vegetables per day than would be practical to eat and I feel great. And clean up is rediculously fast and easy. If you use the filter papers [maybe 20 come with it--order more immediately and use them], you don't scrub and the whole thing is back in place in maybe a minute and a half. Overall I have the idea this machine will last for many, many years. Bravo, Waring, you definitely got this one right!
Did that help?
