Here's a tip for using the worthy Ito May 24, 2008
Reviewer: Rachel from New York

I have not tried the Ito juicer on soft fruits, but I can see it would work well for that. For hard, cut-up vegetables it was a flop, but for extracting more juice from vegetable pulp from my juicer, it is worth its weight in gold. GREAT TIP: put the unit on the FLOOR, wear thick-soled shoes, and press the lever with your FOOT while holding down the unit with your other foot. This greatly increases the pressure you can apply, it is easy, and you will get more juice. You feel good knowing that you are not throwing out pulp with juice in it. Another tip: save your pulp and use it! Put it in soups, mix with rice, pasta, cereal, etc. We need the fiber.
