Does anyone else besides myself have trouble with this juicer sometimes going so fast it bounces around the counter and tries to take off?

yes. the problem you are experiencing is what i experienced. the trouble shooting recommended getting new blade for the machine. I did that and that did not help at all. I think it is defected. I ended up throwing mine out because i was pass warranty and i could not deal with the loud noise and intense vibrations. If yours is still under warranty, then use it.

Yes. I set it on a little riser now, a trivet. Solved that issue altogether, and made it easier to get a small pitcher under the nozzle.

check the locking system. Disassemble it and check for pieces of food which may have dried on the edges and interfere with the juicer to be locked tight together also check for the rubber pieces under the legs.

I have the same problem. Every time I turned it on, it started moving around and the pulp container came off. I had to turn it off, reassemble and clean the mess. I might have got a deceptive one.

I have trouble with taking it apart also. The best way is to switch the orange sliding switch all the way to left to release the clear top. Take that off and grab a hold of the white section with they blade and lift and wiggle/ shake til it releases. It's a pain but for a cheaper small juicer not to bad. Hope that helps:-)

Mine does the same, as did my previous model. It's annoying but not a big problem to me.

Yes! I have the same thing. It moves just a bit side-to-side when grinding.

not at all ! I was amazed how it extracted the juice at no effort at all. No waste and the juice tasted really good. Very different from my old juicer. The only con I have is that the cover keeps falling off the juicer because I always put it up on the shelf. It will be ideal if you just leave it on the counter. Hope your arm feels better.

I can only compare it to my old Champion juicer, which was such a pain to operate with leafy greens.(the hole was too small and the leaves would make the plunger stick). So by comparison the Breville is AWESOME, I juiced some kale a few days ago and got a decent amount, the pulp was very dry. Have not tried other greens, but imagine it would be efficient.

* Slower spin speeds is a definite plus.* As of, "easier/more convenient to use"? This one flies by all of the others, in my opinion. Other people I know have a vertical juicer and one person said to me, when we were juicing apples & had to clean up, that this one is a lot faster clean-up time. * My next point is that I only have one well working hand, b/c of a T.B.I. that happened in 2003. Live on my own now & this juicer takes me minimal time to clean-up, I'd say about 5 minutes or less; as long as you clean it right away, so all the juice pulp & the juice itself doesn't dry on to the juicer parts. * * Slower spin speeds is a definite plus.* As of, "easier/more convenient to use"?

Hi Amanda, I bought this product for my grandson & we haven't had any problems. We just give it a good hard shake & it goes. the harder & longer the shake the faster it goes. Maybe you should send it back & exchange it? Good luck. Danalee

I have not had that issue with multiple batches of crab-apples this fall. You may be waiting too long to collect the juice. If it gets full, it probably would spill over. Also, check it when you wash it to make sure you do not have a faulty pan.

My juicer is not even a year old and it is making awful noise and sounds like the plastic gears are going out. It worked just great at first. Now it stops if you try to juice a lemon. Expensive machine, does not hold up. We are always careful to limit how much we juice in a day (have grapefruit and orange trees) so it has never been overheated. Problems started after a total of about 8 gallons of juice.

I want to add to my previous comment by saying my juicer with the red feet is the original model- I have had it for decades; it still works great. Sounds like the switch in manufacturers has altered the new model for the worse. Too bad.

Yes, mine does the same thing. See my video of it wobbling if you can find my review in the 600 and some reviews. I find it on the fourth page of the three star reviews. Looking for the video makes it easier. I call it a wobble-dribble cup.

Good to know. Thank you. My concern was pulling down too hard, and possibly pulling the fruit basket down & breaking whatever container you where draining the juice into. Thanks again.

Mine leaks juice around the cup no matter how tight I screw it on and it runs down into the machine when it's blending. Anyone have a solution for that?

I bought a Chefs Star Juicer, only three times, the last run only three minutes to stop moving, and now it has not been able to use, I suspect it is not good quality, perhaps my bad luck?

Yes, mine is the same way but its not a problem for me. I just turn it around gently and presto.....problem solved. Its works great so such a small problem is not worth time and energy.

Are you trying to push the fruit through? I find it's best to let the machine do the work. If you push them through, it tends to go too fast and not process correctly.
