How is this different from a juicer??

Don't know never had a juicer but I was looking for a juicer when I found this hand crank nothing to break

It keeps the pulp just gets rid of the skins and seeds, as in partially cooked apples for applesauce and tomatoes for pasta sauce. A juicer literally keeps the juice and gets rid of all the fibres skin and seeds!

You also get pulp from it. So if you want to make a sauce you can strain the and separate the juice and get two products for the effort of one.

The juicer only has 3 parts that get dirty during juicing - and the pulp comes right out once dismantled - it is super easy to wash. Like the previous answer, I never even use the dishwasher and do it by hand

It's not a juicer - juicers will separate pulp/skins/seeds from the juice (with varying levels of efficiency, depending on the machine). This will pulverize and liquify everything you drop into it. Some people like their juice that way. But it's not a juicer per se.

It is not a masticating juicer if that is what you mean, as for wheatgrass juicing. It has various speeds and does do green vegetables, though probably not as efficient as the slow juicers. Hope that helps. Still recommend this juicer, very much so.

Basically you are able to juice nearly anything besides banana. I would definitely google for a list of what not to juice. I personally have since upgraded to a different juicer because this one broke on me and the feed tube was too small and inconvenient.

I don't have another juicer with which to compare it. It did juice the greens I put in but not a lot of juice came out. However, I don't know how much juice they have.

it's not super difficult but there are a few different parts. it is semi-self cleaning in that while the juicer is running you can pour water through it to get it partially cleaned. you can then just quickly scrub with a dish brush to get anything else remaining. because it doesn't have a centrifugal screen the pulp is generally easy to clean out.

It's not vague.....it's plastic. It's heavy enough to do the job. It's not rocket science. Oster is a good name and this is a good little juicer for the money. The whole thing comes apart and can go into the dishwasher if needed, except for the base. I know there are different grades of plastic, but this is not something that you store the liquid in, so it's not that important.

Yes, it is faster and the juice is quite a bit thicker. I personally prefer the one with smaller holes for green drinks, I'm not fond of green smoothies. :-)

I'm glad you asked! I've been using the juicer for five months now. It's a very nice juicer But it's more for an occasional juicing. And you do have to slice up the fruits and vegetables. Especially carrots and beets.

Reading some of the recent posts its important to keep in mind that you have to take the time to Cut All veg and fruit into smaller pieces than what you may be accustomed to. The shoot is smaller than normal and I rarely use the device to push down the veg as its not necessary, this can also aid to the juicer getting jammed. On the whole im very happy with my first masticating juicer.

It juices greens just fine, this is where it excels. It works much better than centrifugal juicers where your greens will get caught up in the blade instead of getting juiced. So far I've tried wheatgrass, spinach, beet, celery, and carrot greens and all did great. Only a cold press juicer can do a decent job with greens.

It does a good job but since it is a slow juicer, if you want the pulp drier you can just dump it back into the chute. You do not need to have the pusher in the chute unless something needs dislodged. Fruits tend not to be as dry so I often put them back thru'. The biggest difference from other juicers is that the slow juicers do not make a "strained" juice. It's more like a smoothie in my opinion. I love it.

This juicer is not noisy. Quite quiet compared to the blender-type devices. It has a slow rotation speed and produces clear juice rather than the slushy type product from blenders.

Haven't tried to juice with it...Can't see it actually reducing hard veggies and fruits to juice. More than likely you'd get mush. However if you need advice for a juicer I own an Angel juicer and it woks wonders.

I'm sorry, do not know the answer to that. I don't use it that way, only for my smoothies, fruits and spinach or kale and whatever I toss in. But I do not use it as a juicer.

Hi Adam S. The Breville 800JEXL Elite is not a masticating juicer. I have owned this model of centrifugal juicer for over 2 years. While I am more than satisfied with the quality of juice it produces and with its performance, I have recently decided to change to a masticating juicer. The Breville, and most centrifugal juicers, juice your veggies and fruits at very high RPMs (1500), which I have read destroys many of the valuable enzymes in fruits and veggies. The masticating juicers, on the other hand, juices your fruits and veggies at 80 RPMs. This lower RPM supposedly avoids "oxidizing" the juice of your fruits and veggies, unlike the centrifugal type of juicer, thus preserving the integrity of those valuable enzymes/nutrients. I don't know if this is true, as there is so much hype out there on the Internet. But it sounds good to me, and right now I can afford to buy another juicer. After spending a lot of time researching masticating juicers, I am leaning toward the Omega J8006. It has a dual auger, which I have read is the best method to juice with a masticating juicer. Reviews for the Omega J8006 are great, and I can live with the cons. (Cons mostly consist of having to cut down in size your veggies before juicing. I don't have a problem spending a little extra time with cutting up the veggies before putting them down the shute. It doesn't seem like much of con to me.) Good luck with your research in selecting a juicer. If this will be your first, you're in for a positive change in your health, regardless of your selection (centrifugal vs. masticating). Juicing is great!
