does it pulverize as good as it says? like the skin and seeds of veggies and fruits/.

Definitely not. The machine falls apart and should be taken off the market. Customer service is a nasty joke.

This is a great machine! It works just like it is advertized. It's a very powerful machine. Great investment.

NO, I was not pleased with the unit at all, as a matter of fact, I tried it one time and sold it at a garage sale. I would not think that Montel would want his name associated with a "cheap" plastic appliance.

If you want actual juice extract...where the pulp is separated from the juice and you are left with only juice..no, it doesn't do that, as all fruits and vegetables are chopped in the same container. However, it is blends very finely, so that you can drink it without noticing any pulp; ,but it's not the pure juice that a juicer makes. However, if you just want to make sure it can turn veggies into something drinkable...yes, it does that. I have a Vitamix and I am very impressed how well this compares to the Vitamix. Had I bought this first, I wouldn't have bought the Vitamix. I bought this as something I could travel with.

It does REALLY well with vegetables; I've only had problems with super wet vegetables (e.g. the seeded portion of summer squash), but that just required some extra cleaning, nothing too intense.

It will blend and pulverize those items. However, I replaced it twice because it stopped working. Once after a week and once after two days. Stay away a from this and go buy the cuisinart. It is great.

Its not slimy. There could be a slight hint of bitter but if you pick it young you will not get that. Wash and throw on salad or whatever. I use it on calabacitas in my Mexican restaurant. The flavor of this particular purslane is lemony with a little bit of earthiness. Yummy and very good for you.

Absolutely! This machine will pulverize anything! I was attempting to chop almonds and they turned to powder. :). I use mine for juicing veggies, it gets the pulp minuscule. Oh won't regret this purchase. Betty/New Braunfels, Texas

Hi, yes I have, it was fine. The slicer works well with most vegetables, softest I have found to be cucumber.

I'm pretty sure it does. It's a natural product. I've been using it for 47 years. I use it to wash fruits and vegetables and don't worry about eating any, floors, walls, counters, etc. I trust it. A little bit goes a long way, so just use drops instead of a big squirt.

I have no direct knowledge about whether it will grind flax seeds or not... I only use it to chop veg and it does a wonderful job. But, that being said, I have never tried to pulverize any veg items and am assuming that pulverizing is what you may be looking for. If I had some, I would try for you - but I don't! Update: just ground some of my daughter's croutons (on high, PUREE) and it did pretty well... more or less a coarse grind. So, if you are looking to accomplish that plus chop some veg, it's a dandy little device.

I honestly do not see how any blender could pulverize the small seeds you find inside of strawberries or other berries. No blenders on the market have sharp blades, as the blades would dull too quickly. Breaking down very small seeds would require a grinder type action. Now as for larger seeds such as those found in watermelon, this blender does break them down. The benefit of the Waring over the Vitamix will be the carafe, it is well designed and does not need the pusher that comes with the Vitamix.

I have personally never seen any seeds in my juice through this juicer, but the only things I have juiced with seeds are pears, cucumber, apples, lemons, grapes, and oranges. Maybe another reviewer has more to add?

Not very well. I made raspberry jam with it last month and found a lot of seeds got through the finest disc. I had to put the puree through a wire mesh sieve after the food mill. But - I did not heat them first and realize now I should have; it may have helped. The smallest screen though, has holes that the seeds can fit through.

I can't attest to its durability since I don't use it commercially. But do note that it is slow (by design) to extract the most out of leafy greens. So if you are using this for production purposes, you may find it to be too slow.

I think it does a good job except with small raspberries.... But I also recommend using the pulp in cooking meat dishes like meat loaf or stuffed chicken breast etc. that way there is no waste period. I also recommend adding great flavored like freshineple to all my juices...I blend carrots and kale and pineapple and apples together frequently. The most powerful juicer I think is the ninja....but it I not quiet like the fusion....the fusion is also easy and quick to clean. :)

I typically blend peaches, blueberries, and strawberries. It does a good job overall, although I sometimes need to let it run on high for a bit. I do notice some small pieces of the blueberry skin. The pieces are about the size of ground pepper. I don't notice it when drinking the smoothie. I'm not sure how it does with leafy greens...

No, it takes most of the skin and seed from tomatoes, that's all I have used it for.

This fiber is a seed-grain type of food. It probably pulverizes completely in a very strong blender, but my blender doesn't break it down as much. Easily drinkable after mixing. You will crunch on a seed or two, after using a blender, however it's a minor issue.
