Title: Paint particles -- part of a balanced diet?
Review: This machine is built like a Russian tank - what it lacks in finesse it tries to make up for in sheer bulk. But the massive, retro-industrial design is not enough to earn a place on your countertop. My juicer arrived with several dings in the paint. The stainless steel dome that the fruit is crushed on had a black greasy substance on the underside. It took a lot of scouring to get rid of this material of unknown toxicity. The shape of the squeezing surfaces is conical rather than hemispherical. The effect of this is that the discarded rind always includes some unsqueezed pulp. But the worst feature of the unit I received is that two of the painted surfaces of the mechanism rub against each other during use causing a fine powder of paint flecks to fall into the juice. The toxicity of these paint flecks is unknown to me but I sure don't want to ingest them. It's going back.
