good juice, big mess

I live very close to an open air farmers' market where they practically give away the vegetables. Since the government is telling us to eat fruit and vegetables "in abundance", I bought a this Hamilton Beach juice extractor.

The first thing I juiced was a bag of oranges. I was shocked that the juice came out so foamy, but it cleared up after a couple of hours in the fridge.

Then I decided to make a vegetable blend. Lots of carrots, radishes, fresh parsley, spinach and chili peppers. Very good juice.

Clean up was close to a nightmare. There was juice and pulp all over the counter. The pulp bin does not fit snuggly to the extractor, so there are lots of leaks. Also, the feed hole is too small and I had to spend lots of time cutting the vegetables down to size. I wasn't impressed with the amount of juice extracted. I've seen other machines that did a better job.
