I am obliged to admit for all of my life my idea of a smoothie

For the purposes of full disclosure, I am obliged to admit for all of my life my idea of a smoothie has been a Pepsi float. Only recently I have tired of listening to my wife's rants about my diet and decided to give her this juicer as a peace offering, so this is my first foray into any appliance with healthier living being the primary benefit, this thing doesn't even have a grease trap. What I didn't realize was how much it appeals to the juvenile side of my personality. This thing is more fun than a wood-chipper and my non-certified nutritionist/overseer approves to boot. I have stuffed every variety of fruit and vegetable I get my hands on down the chute, not because I have any interest in nutritional values but solely to get the thrill of grinding up stuff. In comparison to our blenders, it is surprisingly quiet and gets the job done in seconds. One caveat though, be sure to use the plunger or you may find your kitchen walls decoupaged with carrot, broccoli and apple pulp, resulting in a rather pleasant fragrance for the first day or so but thereafter becomes a bear to clean off and who needs to give the overseer any motivation for another kitchen renovation. In that vein, it's probably a good idea to clean the component parts immediately after using as the filter screen is no fun once the fibers congeal and running it through the dishwasher instigates another spousal discussion about wasting depleted resources since in my opinion a full dishwasher load represents anything I need to clean at a momentary notice. As I noted, I'm not conversant on the relative benefits of this model over costlier versions, and how it differs in form or function from a macerating juicer but for someone taking tentative steps into this brave new world, I think this one has more than adequate power, is simple to use, clean and equally as important, will not drive you into depression over wasted expenditures when the thrill of the evisceration inevitably wears off. Now, if it works with M&M's...I purchased this product at the end of January and initially loved it. Would have rated it 5 stars. It worked great - I happily made my juice every morning. And faithfully cleaned all parts immediately after juicing as recommended. Then I began to notice that juice was somehow pooling into a tiny crevice around the bottom edge of the pulp collector in an area which is impossible to clean with a sponge, brush or any other cleaning implement. I also tried soaking it and nothing helped. Obviously there could be health/food poisoning issues if the juice can't be cleaned from the crevice. I contacted Breville and they did send a replacement for the pulp collector. It looks like the seal is in place on this one - so far so good anyway. Will have to wait and see. Would change the rating to 3 stars if I could but Amazon will not let you edit the rating.
