This juicer is so different it's hard to me to put it in the same category as other juicers. It's basically the combo of two powerful tools: a grinder and a press. The juice that it's able to produce is in par with the highly priced juices you can find a whole foods. I'm not giving it 5 stars because of: 1) a juicer that costs more than most laptops not accessible to everyone, 2) it is HEAVY, it took me and my wife to put it on the counter, 3) the process is very involved. There's some set up you need to do before you start juicing, during operation you need to keep eye on things and the cleanup is not trivial. It works best if you are making a big batch. I definitely recommend this to anyone interested in having the best juicer on the market, is able to afford it and put in the time to love it.
