FACTORY RECERTIFIED Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel Big Mouth Juice Extractor 67608

Bought this one to replace its predecessor who succumbed to "plastic fatigue" after 5 yrs of heavy use. You can feel the extra power in this model which has 800 watts. With a family of 5, we juice 1-2 times daily. It's a fast and effective way to encourage us to consume lots of fruits and vegetables, especially for the teens who don't seem to like anything;) Although the manual says you can put the pieces in the dishwasher, I hand rince with hot water immediately after juicing and put them on a towel to dry. Juicing helps us reduce waste; a handful of unattractive strawberries may not work for pancakes, but throw them in the juicer with some apples, kaki, and an orange, and it doesn't go to waste. The pulp goes into our composter which makes excellent compost as it is so fine with no chunks. My wife says her skin is improved, I just need a fast way to consume minerals without sitting down to chew large quantities of fruit/veg. Excellent investment. PS: Block that funny little air vent with scotch tape to prevent decorating the kitchen backsplash!
