I've had the Pure for a week. I purchased a refurbished one. I'm writing this review for anyone looking to purchase a higher end juicer to give my perspective/experience. *PROS: The Pure makes great juice, it's clean, crisp, and with nearly no pulp. The separation of grinding and pressing stages can be beneficial for certain non-juice things like butters. I love love love that it is all stainless steel, minus the press clothes (which your food/juice does touch and come into direct contact with, so semi-con there). Also seems like "the" juicer for Gerson therapy folks. ~ That being said, for me, that's about where it ends. *CONS: The Pure is messy. My number one biggest issue is the grid plates. When making juice with anything that has a fibrous makeup (kale, celery, ginger etc) I have to CONSTANTLY pull the plate out, and waste time cleaning it and unclogging all the fiber, plus use a skinny chopstick to get all the particulate that stick back behind the plate. While putting things into the feed tube, there is juicing slowing oozing out the front of where the grid plate slides in, plus kick/fly back out the feed tube from high water items (cucumber). Another annoyance is if I am wanting to do a semi-high volume (I'm talking 1L of green juice to last 36-48 hours here, not huge), I'm not able to grind and press all of the ingredients together. For instance, because the fibrous stuff causes so much grief and time consumption, I save it for last. So I begin with cucumber, apple, lemons etc. That gets pressed and I have juice, but without kale and celery or ginger yet. So the batch I make is not fully incorporated until I'm entirely done with all juicing at the very end. Even then, I've got to swap/mix different juice batches together so all veggies are mixed. When I made 1L, I had to to stop and remove the grid holder and plate 4 times, this was quite honestly annoying and gross. Meanwhile, my juice is sitting, oxidizing, waiting to be put into press clothes etc. If you don't operate the pressure properly, juice will spray out, or if there's a press cloth that isn't positioned just right (or super watery) it will slide off to one side and cause juice to leak out over the plate... messy. Then there's the massive amount of cleanup when you're finally done... brushing out each cloth, the plate, the feed tube, the grid plate and holder and yes, you need to pull the cutter blade off each time, clean it and clean all the gunk buildup behind it and pull of the O-ring and clean under it. I was displeased with how easily food particles get into the moving components of the juicer. To me over time this means potential problems. Hence, I'm now in the process of requesting to return the Pure (it's been 7 days since I bought it and had to do some digging on there website to find that you can return it within 10 days (that was not easy to find). I'm just hoping it is a painless process. I honestly feel that this is best for those who have to do/choose to do Gerson therapy. But if you aren't please go with something else, or at lease fully do your research and understand what your needs are. I plan to go with a Nama for the ease, simplicity, power, less counter space, warranty is 3 yrs longer, and cleanup. Good Luck, be well, and be sure to always search for discount codes before purchasing these things
