If you have an 11-cup KA processor, BUY THIS!
I should qualify my 5 stars, because there's not a juice extractor on this planet that is perfect -- they all have pros and cons. But the price, quality and convenience of this one makes it a winner.
This juicer is similar to, and just as good as, the original Acme/Omega juicers. Sure, the yield on leafy greens isn't the best, but it does carrots, beets & celery as well an any other juicer -- and quickly, too. The yield is far better than the extractors that spit out the pulp right away.
I've been juicing on-and-off for the last decade, and I like that the parts for this juicer store easily while the food processor stays on my counter.
BTW, if the juicer starts to rattle or spin, adding another carrot firmly will usually solve the problem.

For those with 9 cup food processors...
The juice extractor does FIT the 9 cup fp, as Kitchenaid says, however, it doesn't actually WORK with it. The attachment sits in the bowl just as it should, it spins around, but the food pusher does not reach down far enough to actually make juice out of your veggies. Whatever you drop in will simply go straight through without scraping the bottom, as Kitchenaid says it should, and then spin around like mad without making juice. I spoke with Kitchenaid a couple of times and I am sending it back. I even tried putting in larger chunks but it just won't hold them in place because the pusher and tube extender are not long enough. I also tried a wooden spoon for a pusher but it didn't help due to the shortness of the tube. Bottom line, no matter how bad you want this extractor, like I did, don't get it for a 9 cup processor.

It works.
It is very easy to use and works surprisingly well. I made apple juice today (with skin on) and it tastes among the best I had. Now let me hope it is easier to digest than bottled juice.
