The only problem I see and the killer of this seemingly nice juice extractor is the fact that the motor (don’t know actual wattage) is sooooo weak. Granted, the juice is quiet, but that’s because it’s not spinning nearly as fast as it should :). I literally had to force a carrot thru the thing. The product is useless and a waste of money. Pretty though. So maybe not useless. Could be a giant paperweight. Also, could be placed in kitchen
