we have a L'Equip and it's very easy to clean up. It's the mini l'equip and doesn't leave wasted chunks of unjuiced stuff in the pulp basket like seemed with the LaLanne juicer. The pulp seems drier, meaning you are getting more juice from your food. You can do a compare and learn more on http://www.bestjuicers.com/juicertypes.html
This is a great website that tells all about the different kinds of juicers. i.e. you cannot juice some things in a traditional centrifugal juicer, like wheatgrass. that takes a masticating juicer that will "chew" up the blades, etc. I would recommend the Breville Juice Fountain or the L'Equip for a starting juicer. My husband juices almost daily. We get the most out of the juicer, our dehydrator and our Magic Bullet, plus the food processor for slicing and making the things we can't buy a masticating juicer for right now, like the kale that goes in his smoothies. If I could afford it, I'd add a vitamix blender and a better dehydrator to our raw/juice/whole food eating.
