Shine Kitchen Co. Vertical Slow Juicer, SJV-107-A Cold Press, Masticating Juice Extractor, Silver and Black

I bought this specifically to juice celery. It seems I get more juice out of a slow masticating juicer vs the centrifugal type. It depends on the quality of the celery though. If celery look dry and old not as much juice and more fiber stuck in machine. That said celery is very fibrous. I like that it is so much quieter than my centrifugal. I do wake up the whole house when I juice in the morning since you are supposed to drink celery juice on an empty stomach in the morning. Old juicer sounded like a jet engine taking off! Overall happy with purchase. Vertical doesn’t take much counter space and relatively easy to clean. Again celery leaves the most pulp and fiber behind.

Got it today and used it - to juice 3 pounds of marionberries (like boysenberries only 10x better). That's the only reason I bought this juicer, and I had sent back another brand just last week. This one did a good job, and juicing blackberries and raspberries isn't the easiest thing for a juicer to do, for some reason, and I spent a very long time looking, asking the question repeatedly, "Does this juice blackberries and raspberries?" and got almost no definitive answers, just "I don't know, it's good for celery." Which seems to be everybody's favorite juice. I do know that my old Omega centrifugal juicer can't do this job at all - it prefers carrots.So anyway, I got 6 cups of juice from those 3 pounds of marionberries, including a quarter-cup from running the seeds-pulp through again. It went very quickly, much faster than putting them thru a blender to get puree, and then hand-straining the puree thru a fine sieve to get the seeds out - which wastes a lot of juice and is a pain in the butt, literally - usually takes me a good 30-45 minutes that seems much longer. This went in about 15 minutes, no straining (again, literally), and I got about 25% more juice than doing it by blender and hand.I can see though that using a juicer for this has its downside - disassembling everything, washing it, trying to dry it, re-assembling. (Though I didn't have problems cleaning the metal strainer - just used the faucet sprayer, but then it was only blackberry seeds, not fibers of whatever.) The instructions were very minimal, couldn't even find out if the parts could go in the dishwasher, which would make things much easier. Just says wash with warm water and soap. Doesn't say NOT to use the dishwasher...odd thing to leave out of the instructions, though I think the box might say the dishwasher is OK. The clear plastic parts in particular look like the kind that could get etched badly.The disassembly, washing and reassembly almost seems more trouble than it's worth, especially with marionberry juice getting all over the counter and sink and everything I touch in the process. Cleanup from the blender-strainer routine is much faster and simpler and cleaner - though our kitchen does have marionberry stains in the most unexpected places, this juice stains like crazy. Very rich dark purple.Also (why are my reviews always so long? sorry for that...) I'm very aware that about 15% of the reviews of this are 1-star, which gives me pause, especially when people say things like "it worked for a day/week/month and then stopped" or it cracked and blew apart, or leaked all over everything. I chose Tribest because from what I've read it's one of the better juice manufacturers, but this is their cheapest model, entry-level I guess. I can't justify spending huge amounts of money just to juice marionberries, which aren't even available for at least half the year anyway. I just hope this thing lasts and keeps working - it seems to be very well made, solid, heavy, tight, so I hope that's actually true.I'll update in a few weeks or if it breaks down, whichever comes first.

Seems well built and sturdy, has good reviews from serious juicers. I bought used; it was labeled “Like New” on Amazon but it didn’t even turn on when I set it up. So I basically had to ask for a refund within minutes of opening the box (which by the way, didn’t look Like New). The pamphlet/instruction booklet also had a hole in it, probably from repacking or positioning in box; but all these “not like new” details could have been added to the description. Also one star off because there is a place on this juicer I can totally see liquid collecting in. I had to blow dry over it to dry the interior part of the handle. Otherwise, I’m sure this is a good juicer; I’m just OCD about places in appliances I can’t reach to clean.

I got this for juice and although it will juice I would only recommend for small amounts of juice. And stay away from celery it will clog up

The juicer works great but I struggle about half the time getting it apart. The problem is with the pulp getting in the way I think and that makes it difficult to unlock the parts. It also is time consuming to clean the grates. The enclosed brush isn’t adequate so I bought a metal brush.
