this juicer works similarly to other cheaper brands but i loved the large chute to put the fruit in...you really can put whole apples, pears and oranges in it which saves lots of time with cutting
it is easy to clean up you dont have to chop things in tiny sizes to juce them, i juiced an entire pineapple ,minus the rind of course, and only chopped it into four sections.
it really can be filled up with quite a bit, and nothing has to be chopped too small.
have to be really careful putting things into the chute- it starts shredding/juicing the moment it drops down to the cutting disk- we've had a few cases of splatter from juicy tomatoes flying back up
for people who've never bought a juicer before, it's also worth noting that this is a literally a "juicer" and not a "blender." so, it doesn't chop or crush ice, and it isn't really the best product
my previous juicer was similar in style to the breville in that it had an integrated pulp container that surrounded the cutting/juicing filter basket.
years ago i used to have an old juicer - i would have to cut carrots length-wise into 4 pieces, it took a long time and it was sooo painful.
it takes up considerable amount of space on counter, but i like the large chute for whole fruits/vegetables.
my only complaint is sometimes smaller things slip over the chopping bowl (looks like metal coffee filter) such as grapes, small pieces of ginger, and some smaller pieces of fruit once it has been

fruit juices are easy & delicious (try a lime w/ tropical fruit, yummy), the product states you can juice small apples whole, they do have to be very small but cutting them in half or quarters isn't
it juices whole apples without cutting them with incredible yield an no waste.
the second setting it sounds like a sports car or jet engine, not loud, but you definitely know its going to chop up some serious roughage.
it has a very large hopper (about the size of a medium sized apple) so it cuts down on the cutting of everything.
this juicer is well made, handles the pre-bagged apples i buy at my supercenter without any cutting, runs quieter than i expected, and is easier to clean up than i really expected.
with it - the only thing is that i find i have to run the wheatgrass pulp through about two more times before the juice is completely extracted - and for veggies you have to cut them up pretty small.
what has not juiced well are pomegranites (because i sent a bunch of rind through and it's too much hassle to separate out the seeds; i also got juice all over cutting up the fruit), bananas and figs

only change i'd make is a slightly larger mouth in which to put produce, so that less cutting would be required.
then i cut up and juice the cucumber, apple, and beet, and then the celery.
you don't have to cut your veggies up into tiny chunks...it handles big pieces like it was nothing.
you have to cut a small one in half and a large one in quarters, but it is still a very good little juicer.
i have used mine about 10 times now, i haven't been able to find apples small enough to fit into the shoot whole but it does accommodate large pieces of fruits and vegs so pre cutting is minimized.
my first juicer was very small and i had to cut up everything because of the small feeding tube.
it has a large opening that allows you to just place whole fruits in and it is very easy to clean.
here is a breakdown on the results i had with the juicer so far:1 pinapple cut ups = 2.5 cups of juice (very tasty)1 cantalope peeled = 2 cups of juice4 apples de-cored= 2 cups of juice1 whole peeled
i love the fact that i don't have to cut everything up into small pieces before putting it in the juicer!the only disappointment i have is that there is way more pulp than it showed on tv.
this juicer is easy to use...no peeling or chopping fruit and vegetables prior to juicing.
i love how it juices whole fruits.

i don't have to do as much cutting ahead of time as i did with other juicers with a narrower shoot.
the information stated i wouldn't have to cut my fruits and vegetables up to small.
looking at the juicer, the feed/chute part, the cutting cone and the screen are made of high-grade nylon as opposed to the cheaper and easier molded plastic on today's juicers.
after chopping through a nice little braun in a year or so i spent hard-earned college earnings on a champion; they only came in white then.
just be careful with the cutting part.
i have been using it for a few months now and the whole family enjoys using it.i love that it has a wide mouth so i don’t even have to cut up the fruits and veggies, just rinse and toss them right in.
my last juicer had a very small spout and you had to cut up everything before you put it into the juicer; and it was extremely noisy.
in a place where they have those huuuuge carrots...i chop off the tops, and put 'em in whole....fabulous!i can't say enough about it, except to say i'm ordering this for a friend of mine as a gift.
you still have to cut large apples in half, but whole carrots and beets are fine.

the food chute is fairly small so you have to cut everything up to fit down the chute.
i had it clamped to cutting board that pulls out from under my kitchen counter.
