(NEW) Nutribullet NBJ50300 24oz Slow Juicer

I’ve been wanting a juicer for awhile now and did a lot of research. I landed on this one for several reasons - Nutribullet is a pretty reputable brand, it had a lot of positive reviews (which I now notice are all from people who’ve used it once and got for free), and it was in the mid-price range at $200. Like the other positive reviews, the first time I used it was great. It’s quiet and gave me a lot of juice, though not as easy to clean as advertised. I figured it would be a minor inconvenience. After having this for about two weeks now and used it literally a handful of times, I regret it so much. I’m not doing anything out of the ordinary - apples, cucumbers, celery, kale, etc and cut in small chunks per instructions. I noticed that the fibers of the fruits/vegetables were getting stuck, creating a “clog” and a bunch of the pulp accumilating on the top part of the juicer. I’d have to stop it, open it up (to find it full of pulp and some whole chunks still in there), clean it out, then try and reassemble the entire thing again, only for it to still get stuck, take it apart again, fidget with it, then try and finish juicing. Afterwards, you then have to disassemble the entire thing again, clean it out, and even with the brush it doesn’t clean up the gunk stuck in the mesh. After about ten minutes of scrubbing, I give up and have it sit in the sink so I can go back to it later when I’m not as frustrated. Needless to say, I do not recommend this one. There are way too many other options to go through this much frustration for juice. Btw, if you’re not a big pulp in your juice person, definitely skip this one. While most of the pulp gets stuck inside, it still manages to somehow dispense a good amount in your juice. If I can return this, I would…$200 down the drain smh
