Braun"s MP-80 220 volt juicer is a durable, compact counter-top appliance that works like a charm. We have used our same unit almost daily for over three years, and it continues plugging right along.The Braun MP-80 juicer [Braun MP 80 Entsafter Multipress automatic] is a great unit if you seek to get started with juicing, but do not want to spend a lot of money on something new.What do you give up for this lower-priced model? The feeding tube is smaller than others, requiring the pieces to be divided into smaller pieces. Larger than average sized carrots must be halved or quartered. The juicer"s motor is one of the more noisy ones.Otherwise, it makes great juice. The juice pours into a smartly-designed cup with a plastic strainer, so any residue and foam separates from the pure juice when poured.NOTE: This is appliance is 220-240 volts 50 hertz (not intended for use in USA).
