It's a little bit expensive BUT Love it! I was tired of watching my wheatgrass fly through my juicer, with little juice produced. After reading the reviews on this site, I decided to give it a try. This thing is amazing! It's heavy, with solid construction. I am sure it will last forever. The best part is that it squeezes every bit of juice out of those blades of grass. Sometimes, if I don't pack the chute tight enough, the blade doesn't really crush the grass so well. My solution; rotate the handle in the opposite direction to push grass back toward loading chute, then crank forward again. This seems to compact the grass more, and then the juice starts to flow. Some reviewers complain about the effort this machine requires, but I enjoy the workout that the manual crank provides. Assembly, disassembly and clean up are all very easy. I am so happy with this purchase and really feel like I am finally getting all the juice out of my wheatgrass. Awesome!
