Over the years I have had all types of juicers. Everything from cheapie centrifugal juicers to the masticating juicers that are pretty pricey. I decided to get this particular juicer because it fit my needs at this point in my life. Let me explain.
Masticating juicers will always be the best, in my opinion. They take the produce and slowly chew it up and extract just about every particle of juice that could be extracted. I did not choose one this time because, even though they are cheaper than they used to be, there are still a few drawbacks. One, they take forever to make juice. In addition, they are more difficult to clean, and you absolutely must cut up your produce to fit them into the small feed chutes. If the quality of the juice is worth it for you, then I can highly recommend them.
Centrifugal juicers are louder, generally cheaper, and get your juice to you in a hurry. You don't have to wait, they're easy to take apart, and pretty easy to clean compared to the masticating juicers. That being said, with a centrifugal juicer your pulp will be somewhat wetter, and you will always have some unjuiced items such as apple peels that may not get thoroughly ground up into juice.
I chose this particular machine because it fits in my kitchen. Even though I'm retired, I'm very busy, and I really don't have time to play with a fiddly juicer. This is easy to clean, quieter than I expected it to be, and, as I said, it fits on my small countertop. Plus it's a Cuisinart. It matches my food processor! And while I have found the occasional errant apple peel, the pulp is drier than I expected. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this machine and so far I would buy it again.
