Intro..
Made in Europe,Spain. My main reason for buying. Also it said can be used commercially and in hotels so I assumed it would be very good. It also said rrp is £767, and it was reduced to around £208. So, I had very great expectations from this commercial machine.

Reality
It says maximum continuous run time is 30minutes( ie, Like most juicers, whatever the price ); how does this keep up for commercial purposes. I fojnd the base got warm after about 20minutes.
There is a kind of blade that is lodged in the feeder shute , presumably to cut the food in half as you push down with the plunger, eg put in a whlle apple, push down and it will be cut in half on the way down. What a gimmick, as the apple did no such thing and got wedged on the top of the blade, which appeared to be blunt, and using force risked breaking the blade as well. So although it was technically a wide feed tube, you had to cut the fruit/ veg as the blade was in the way and stuck out half way across the diameter of the tube.
There is a bend shape at the bottom of the feed tube in which the food often got left or 'regurgitated' during juicing, sometimes inaccessible even when using the plunger.
The sticking out blade in the feed tube is also a safety hazzard so care when washing . What happens if bits break off or if it gets rusty or mouldy in bits you cant get at? H
It was straightforward to put together, there were instructions, as to alignment of dots and arrows.
Cleaning was ok, as mentioned, care with the blade. The seive required scrubbing but was not cumbersome. If hsd a silicon basket that the seive sits in, as almost every vertical juicer does these days, supposedly to sweep pulp from the screen.( The Andrew James slow juicer does not have this basket yet seems perfectly fine).
The manufacture leaflet says the juice does not separate, but it does, as others do from standing.
Knitially, for the first couple of times, i was impressed with the juice, it was rich with little pulp, but then it became
