I like the juicer and is good if you are making large quantities but the cleaning is so time consuming, There is the heavy lid when removed that is not easy to clean as it is heavy with lots of nooks and crannies to be cleaned, the strainer has to be removed with a wrench and is not easy to reinstall as it has to be positioned just right or it will make noise when restarting the machine, (Don't loose the wrench or the attachment screw as you may have a problem.) The 3rd section below the filter unit is a pan and is generally easy to clean. I purchased it for my home but I think it is better for commercial use for making large quantities and cleaning time is then justified
