here is my little review about the Crego slow juicer received week ago based on 1st time usage juicer 4 big and long stick Celery & Parsley.
Juicy efficiency
+ produce near half juice on juice collector
+ pulp is really dried
+ produce really dark green color juice (celery/parsley)
+ juicer comes with 2 assembly fliters/nets (tiny hole & bigger hole) i used the tiny for this round
- i encounter fibre stuck at the gear of assembly, not sure if i put too much of vege leaf at once
General
+ operating sound is quiet than centifugal type juicer; but still have sound la
+ the name call for slow juicer but i think it is not really slow haha
Juicer Installation
* first time installation I felt confuse but still manage to setup it
Cleaning Difficulty
- i will said pulp will remain inside from the pulp tube to the augar itself (pulp on augar i did not snap photo- pulp at augar is dried)
- so flush water while operating juicer is NOT sufficient to washing it (based on celery+pasrley)
- so i dismantle the whole assemblies and clean it piece by piece (they provided 2 brushes, 1 type likes tooth brush and 360 brush) tooth brush back side is useful to pull out the remaining pulp from pulp tube. 360 brush is good to brish tiny metal filter holes.
- because i juicy celery and parsley, their fibre is really stuck at those tiny holes and need to brush sometime to clean every holes, manual mentioned that it is not clean after use it will become stubborn stain. theoretically if tiny get block, i think juice will come out slowly...
- cleaning pulp from augar is simple once you dismantle it, flush water pulp will go away
- i think the most cleaning time is on the filter/net,
over cleaning time 10-15min- there are 2 silicon rubber from the assembly unit, red and grey. red rubber is easy to remove clean and put back. the grey rubber is very hard to put back, i spend 10min (time not included in cleaning time) to put back, and i realized actually no pulp sip into this rubber. i will not remove grey rubber in future. 1st time cleaning is too noob lol... i open everything!
I will said always dismantle and clean it, you will get familiar on the hardware installation and not fear/forget the steps.
What u see on the images are:
1. I already finished juicy, i flush water to clean it, not success; so those juice on collector is not real juice. at the same time u can see the pulp remain in the tube up to augar. you wont see pulp at augar unless you dismantle it. you also can see the quality of juice in the bottle.
2. on second image, you can see the red silicon rubber and grey silicon rubber as what i mentioned before in cleaning step.
