EWare EW-8K129 700-watt Black Juice Extractor

Almost worth it...
Admittedly, I had high hopes for this product. It appeared to possess every feature I was looking for. The description basically sounded like the answer to the 'want ad' I would have written. After receiving this product as a gift, I looked forward to giving it a try. Wasting no time, I opted to start with a carrot-apple juice. I was pleased with the power and efficiency. Everything seemed to meet my expectations and I was content. When I began the clean-up process (it's a messy business juicing your own veggies and fruits) everything changed. The removable pieces clean up nicely. However, the internal screen basket that collects the pulp and allows the juice to pass through, as well as the containing housing are *extremely* difficult to clean. I elected to unscrew the basket and blade assembly to wash them. Even after thoroughly but gently scrubbing them, the basket held onto several carrot scraps. I would not recommend this product for anyone who intends to use it...

Juicer
Purchased the juicer went online and looked up recipes and began to juice. No leaks not hard to clean up and its still going strong. Cleaning tip there will be bits and pieces of veggies in the extractor use a small brush and bush against the cutter teeth while running it under water easy peasy. everything else just wash off. Doesnt take a rocket scientist to clean it as some other reviews might suggest.....

I've had this EWare Ew-8k129 700-watt Black Juicer Extractor for a little over a month and in that time during normal use the lid has cracked and the motor has etched unsightly grooves into the bottom of the juice collector!

I read the instructions thoroughly before using and leaves and leaf stalks were approved for use. However, this juicer has issues with kale, a very popular food for juicing. Whenever I use kale the machine goes haywire (shuddering out of control, smoking, purging pieces of kale out of the machine all over the counter) even when the kale is chopped up into smaller sections. The damage above was caused when I used kale. The instructions warn against using hard or fibrous fruits /veggies like sugar cane, but kale is not hard like sugar cane. In fact, it's softer than carrots and ginger!

As a first time juicer used occasionally with anything but kale, this is a handy little tool. Assembly is easy and clean up is a breeze. But if, like me,...
