It is very well made and durable. It is made of strong plastic and is better than what I was expecting. It was easy to take apart and put together. After struggling to juice because it kept moving, I realized is did suction on the bottom and made juicing much easier. The machine was easy to clean and we enjoyed homemade apple lemonade with our first try! I was also impressed by the suction at the bottom. I have tried other products in the past with a suction base but they always came loose within a minute or so. This suction base REALLY holds tight in the entire time I was testing it. One thing that can be improved upon is better instructions on how to use it.
