This juicer is a surprisingly easy to use and clean, relatively compact, handsome machine. There is enough power to juice just about any fruit or vegetable. This machine makes pulp free juice. Drinking juice made from ingredients that I choose myself is a wonderful thing - there are no mystery chemicals or additives unless I put them in myself. The only caution, fresh homemade juice shouldn't be kept for days, there is just too much opportunity for food safety issues. Compared to our Jack LaLanne juicer (Jack LaLanne JLPJB Power Juicer Juicing Machine), the Big Boss is so much better. The Big Boss is smaller, lighter, easier to clean, quieter, and doesn't spit all over the kitchen when it runs. For the first running, I suited up with an apron, towel on the floor, cleared off the counter and thought about putting on safety glasses. No need for all that personal protective equipment, the juice goes in the glass, the pulp in the huge bin in back, and nothing all over the place. The machine has four suction cup feet to hold it in place. The Big Boss is just simple to use. No tools required for cleaning / disassembly. The cutting wheel / filter takes a tiny bit of force to remove (grab the spigot and rear black pulp ramp then pull upward). Other than that, this is a piece of cake to clean. All the parts are top rack dishwasher safe - but realistically good soapy water followed by a hot water rinse is about all that is required to clean the parts. The cutter / filter is a little bit difficult to clean, the nature of the beast, pulp is kind of hard to remove. The provided "paint brush" doesn't really work very well. I used a good old dish brush and easily cleaned the filter (something like this - Oxo Steel Dish Brush).I like the fact that the spigot is almost six inches high, that leaves enough space to use a good sized glass. It's a good idea to have several glasses on hand, when the motor is turned off a lot of juice runs out of the spigot (centrifugal force keeps the juice inside the machine, when the blade stops, juice runs out). The pulp bin is black so it is hard to know if the bin is getting full. This isn't necessarily a problem since that bin probably holds the equivalent of a bushel of fruit pulp. The box includes the juicer, care instruction book (sort of a quick start guide), and a well illustrated thirty page recipe book. The recipe book contains some excellent food safety instructions. Do not store juice from melons, berries, cherries, mangoes, papayas, potatoes, onions, garlic, cabbage, lettuce, and green (they are all high pH and can grow bacteria very quickly especially in the refrigerator). Do not juice bananas, avocados, coconuts, eggplants, or leeks (mostly because they are soft fibrous or oily and would quickly plug the machine). Don't store juice longer than one month in a sealed container refrigerated or frozen, (I would suggest not more than a few days either way). Orange juice is different from commercial juice. In the factory they use a juice press and filters to remove or add pulp. The juicer essentially grinds up everything and the filter is fine enough that only juice passes through to the glass. The flavor is different. Although the recipe book suggests juicing the whole thing, including the peel, I don't care for that bitter flavor. Apple juice is a fun food chemistry experiment - the juice comes out of the machine clear and slightly yellow colored. After about five minutes the juice turns dark brown, a perfectly normal process. I like this machine a lot. The construction appears to be solid (the filter / cutter has a very simple clutch mechanism to prevent ruining the motor or tearing up the cutter). I especially like how easy it is to clean. And the pulp makes great compost or additions to baked goods.I've added some pictures of the unit disassembled to show how simple it is to clean....This review is from: Big Boss Juicer, 700W 18,000 RPMCustomer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)

The Big Boss Juicer is a good introductory model if you are just starting juicing and are feeling your way around. Inexpensive, reasonably compact, and at just over 9 lbs, it has good weight which helps stability and makes it less likely to tip over when the motor is working hard. It has a 2- speed, 700-watt motor which is decent, just not heavy duty. (A 1200 -1500 watt unit would handle a heavier burden and would bite harder, and be likely to outlive its limited 1 year warranty). Because of the plastic housing, I must assume the gears are also plastic. The large 3-inch feeder tube reduces prep time as larger pieces can be inserted. There is no pulp regulator so you vary the amount of juiced pulp after pulverizing by adding back liquid and blending to achieve desired consistency.Like other extractors, the Big Boss Juicer uses a fast whirling disk to cut fruit and vegetables into tiny pieces and then spins to separate juice from pulp. Once separated from the pulp, the juice flows from the appliance's side spout into your glass or container. The side spout design creates spillage as you move to fill different juice containers while the spout drips. The pulp fill container is dark plastic and not see-through; not se...
