Thanks for getting back. I'm also hoping to hear more feedback on the Elite- as I'm sure you know there are 4 reviews on amazon.co.uk, and one person thinks it's not different from the original Power Juicer. Btw - my other sister has a Champion - the sister with the Power Juicer put the Champion away (sister not at home so doesn't use it), and as I said, she is happy with the Power Juicer. I have used it ocassionally when I'm home and found it to be fine.
I'm quite desparate without a juicer at the moment, so I'm going to have to make up my mind sometime soon!
