Pam, i have a Juiceman. I usually make around 12 ounces at one go. I notice that fruits clog the juicer faster than veggies. If you're making veggie juice and the fiber piles up inside, try to hit the back of the juicer with your hand, so the fiber falls off into the basket. But for fruits you'll have to open it and remove the fiber manually, since it's not that dry it doesn't go out to easy on it's own.
