For a 100 bucks, this is a okay juicer/food processor combo. Still its not a great juicer, you have a good juicer when what is left over is dry, maybe a little wet, but all the remaining pulp is soaking wet. The Food processor is pretty good, but make sure you cut small pieces and only hit the "perfect prep" button two to three times, otherwise you will get liquid onions, that was weird. Would I recommend this product to my friends or family, no, but since I'm stuck with it, I'm not that unsatisfied. It makes enough juice for one person, and serves the needs of just one person decently.
The only real downside is the juicer blade "thingy" is impossible to really clean, I've scrubbed it, put it through the dishwasher, soaked it, then scrubbed it, then put it through the dishwasher, and its still not totally clean. I mean the blade is sterile and clean, put I'm just amazed that I can't get that orange carrot stain out. Cleanup isn't too terrible otherwise, everything is fairly easy to rinse and wipe down in less then 10mins, and I ran it through the dishwasher and it appears to be safe. A good tip I read is to use a plastic bag to line the inside of the pulp catcher, and that way you can throw away the pulp without cleaning. I use grocery bags to do it, they work just fine. Also make sure you read the manual, there are a lot of little things you need to know to safely operate the Juiceman.
So not bad for $100, but if you want a good juicer or a good food processor, you might have to spend a little bit more money. But if you are just one person, and you don't have a juicer or food processor, this might be something to consider.

I alway wanted a juicer and I decided on this one because you can also use it a a food processor.
It makes juices but the slope is still pretty moist. It also has a recipe for wheat grass and I have the feeling it does not extract the wheat grass properly.
After a couple of times using it it made a loud crack and since then I have the juice a little bit running out on the side.
Bottom line: it does the job. It does it the way it is worth. If you really drink a lot of fresh made juice you should spent more money and get everything out of the fruit.

Please consider that I've never used a juicer before, so this is NOT a comparison between this product and others. It's probably more useful to those who are new to juicing.
First point: The juicer does a good job. It makes juice and is relatively problem free. As someone new to juicing, the cost and level of work involved was a bit of a surprise to me. Having said that:
PROS
*Seems solidly constructed
*Works as advertised
*Doubles as a food processor, but we didn't try that functionality
CONS
*Juice spout is diagonal instead of directed downward, so some juice "spray" can miss your receptacle
*It's a lot of effort and requires a lot of cleaning
If you grow your own fruits and vegetables and enjoy juice, then a juicer like this may well be a good investment. But be prepared to put some effort into the process!

I have both a full size juicer and a full size food processer, stored away in a cupboard in their original boxes. Not that I've never used them, I have. But they are so big I can't keep them on the counter.
The very cool thing about this item, is that it doesn't take up any more room than a normal sized blender, so you can actually leave it out on the counter, and you know, use it.
The juicer is the perfect size.
The food processer is bigger than those mini ones you see, so from that perspective it's great, and probably good for daily type use. It might be a tinge too small for the kinds of things I use a processer for, but having it right there, I will probably find new ways to use my processer.
Overall, very handy!

I was pleased to get the opportunity to test out the device, however, a bit intimidated by the amount of parts, and the instructions, which required me to peel the lemons and seed them before making lemon juice. It seems far easier simply to juice them the old fashioned way, rather than to go to such lengths, and then also to have to clean the device after. Cutting 6 lemons and using a hand juicer takes about ¼ of the time of using a device such as this to do the same thing.
In general, I'm not a big fan of devices that multi-function. When I use a food processor, I want to use a food processor, when I use a juicer; I want it to be just a juicer. Also, since my kitchen is fairly tiny, a device such as this one, which has lots of extra attachments is not something I would seek out, because smaller parts tend to get lost or not stay together, and this device is fairly large, and keeping parts together outside of the box is a challenge. If you are space conscious you might want to think about this before ordering this model, especially if you already own food processor.
My test was making apple juice. I peeled, cored the apples, set up the machine (I like its handy suckered feet), and ran the apples through the machine. It produced a mug of apple juice with apple foam on top. Everyone stated the apple juice tasted good. It was fast and efficient once the food was prepared. It performed as advertised.
Was it worth the effort of the cleaning of multiple parts? If you are a fresh juice fan, perhaps. Personally, I don't see myself wanting to use the device for anything but times when I want to do a lot of bulk items, such as making apple cider, or processing large amount of fruits. For one or two smoothies? I Would use a blender. Fewer parts, and less time involved.
This devices worked well as advertised, but it was too bulky and unweildy for my kitchen and day to day use it wasn't practical.
