Leaks and does not break down veggies

I was very excited about this juicer but the first time I used it, it leaked everywhere on my counter and into the juicer itself. It made it hard to clean since the juice did not stay in the removable parts. Also there were small long fibers of something black in the pulp and it freaked me out a little. There were large chunks still left after running the same cucumbers through twice. I was very disappointed because the other reviews were so good. It's not worth the money and when I saw it was made in China (which I did not see on the description page) it made much more sense why it wasn't as good as I had hoped.
