I've had other types of juicers which use high speed and high noise to get juice out of things. I also know how hard those are to clean. Trust me, this was a pleasure to use in comparison. The initial clean by hand was very simple and then I threw some apples and carrots in so that I could test both soft and hard items. I ran them separately so that I could see how it sounded and functioned. I was quite pleased with how it performed. I actually think I might run the carrots like that because the carrot fiber that was left over struck me as really good soup making additive. The leftover apple chunks had oxygenated and were less enticing. The juice itself was good with pulp sizes that were smaller than what I get in store bought orange juice if I don't strain it or buy pulp free (I'm not a fan of juice pulp). The instructions do say not to run the machine more than 10min so that it doesn't overheat. The cleanup was actually really simple because I didn't let anything dry. So, running it under the hot water sprayer on my sink cleared everything out. The area the pulp exits has a rubber seal that slides in and out to ease cleaning. They also included a spare piece if you happen to lose it. I didn't look to see if this could be washed in a dishwasher because there are a lot of places that water would pool - so I tend to prefer handling those types of items by hand. While the dial looks like it has multiple forward and reverse speeds, there's only one forward and one reverse. The forward will stay on. The reverse is just to back off so it's only a pulse function. The unit won't turn on at all unless the upper assembly is locked in. Really nice juicer. Read more
• It is quick and easy to assemble or disassemble, using the provided excellent written instructions with pictures. • Juice yield appears to be high as pulp is dry, although I am not an extraction expert. • The reverse function works well to prevent clogging. • I don’t like the fact that none of the parts are dishwasher safe, so everything, excluding the base, of course, needs to be hand-washed with soap and warm water. • The online listing states: “Simply drop in whole fruits and veggies for a quick, efficient juicing process”. The instructions state that whole fruits and vegetables must be cut before insertion, which conflicts with the information provided. • It cannot be used with hard fruits like coconut or ice, per the instructions. • Overall, a good product at a good value.

This juicer has been really easy to work with and does a solid job overall. Setup is simple, and the one-switch operation keeps things straightforward—no learning curve. I’ve used it with carrots and pineapple so far, and both came out well. The juice is smooth, and I like that the leftover pulp isn’t completely useless—you can repurpose it in soups, sauces, or other recipes, which is a nice bonus. Cleaning is also pretty manageable thanks to the simple design, though it’s worth noting that it’s not dishwasher safe. That’s probably the biggest downside, especially if you’re hoping for a fully hands-off cleanup. Also, despite the description, it doesn’t really handle whole fruits—you’ll still need to cut things down before feeding them in. Not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of. I also don't think I'd consider this "cold pressed" juicing (as it's masticating not pressing), but it does the job. Overall, a reliable and versatile juicer that’s easy to use and gets the job done well. Read more
Nice addition to the kitchen counter for anyone trying to get more greens in. This juicer feels solid and doesn't take up an massive amount of space despite having a wide enough chute to handle larger pieces of fruit without constant chopping. I unboxed it and gave it a test run and so far it seems like a quality piece of gear that gets a good amount of liquid out of whatever you put through it. It’s quiet enough that I could see my parents using it in the morning without waking up the whole house, and the cleanup isn't nearly as much of a chore as some of the older models I've seen. My brother would probably get a kick out of making fresh blends for his kids since the slow masticating process really keeps the flavor intact. It’s a simple setup that does exactly what it's supposed to do and looks pretty sleek in the black finish. Would you like me to look into some easy recipes to try out for your next batch? Read more
My family has had an excellent experience with this juicer so far. The initial test was with oranges that were peeled, because the directions suggested peeling them first. The results were wonderful, and the juice was good with a nice consistency. The juicer is easy to assemble and disassemble, and the overall quality seems solid. A potential downside to this juicer is the size of the reservoir. It’s large enough for modest juicing, but It’s not as large as the reservoir on my old one. The current price of $88.88 seems to be a good value in comparison to what I’ve seen with other similar juicers available. Read more
The Forlim Juicer machine is a very nice addition for our kitchen. The juicer seems to be made with good quality materials and well built. The motor has the power to actually produce juice quickly without slowing down. Only downside is this machine does not have a pulp feature, but otherwise it works very well and does a good job overall. Not bad, good value Read more
