Why doesn't it remove more juice, it seems to leave the pulp much wetter than before.

well, to start with, my Acme isn't your Acme!! My mother's machine was purchased in 1965 by the company called "Acme", your's is now owned by Waring, I believe; I don't sell juicers, but that's what I've heard!! If the pulp is wet then your blade needs to be sharpened OR you basket isn't spinning as fast as it needs to (it uses centrifugal force to take the shred and move the juice from the shred). This could be the nut not fully twisting down, or your holes in your basket could be clogging the juice from going out into the pour spout holder under the basket and not allow it to come out. I personally now own an auger Juicer by Samson (but i would suggest their competition Champion or another brand, as this one after 3 years is starting to have 'issues"), which is NOT a spinning juicer, but a cork screw type that grinds the fruit/veggies/meat/grain and releases the juice away from the fiber which is then dumped out.

This only happened with mine when the blade got dull and needed to be replaced.

I can't answer that. I have been less than satisfied with my new juicer that is not actually an Acme but Waring bought them out. I have an original Acme to compare and believe me the construction is not as high quality at all. I've had problem with shimmying over the counter if I try to juice more than 3/4 of a full glass of juice at one time. I would not purchase again.

The blades are dull! The best way to handle this problem is 1. get the blades sharpened at a knife shop, 2. squeeze the pulp through a sleeve for jam/jelly making or cheese cloth, then dump. You can reuse the cheese cloth or sleeve (which is washing machine safe).

I was very unhappy with the purchase . . . I now have a Jack LaLane! A way better price and a way better product! And I can't answer the above question however as I was dissatisfied on so many different levels with it's performance :( I could never recommend this juicer!

I can't say it's positively 100% pulp-free, but very little pulp ends up in my glass. I don't mind... personally, I like a little pulp in my OJ.

It's easy to clean right after use. Once it sits the pulp and residual juice dries and becomes sticky. I recommend placing a plastic grocery bag in part that catches the pulp. It makes clean up much easier.

I've done that and so far, I doesn't have that taste. I even left juice in for a day and after rinsed it out with hot water, it didn't have the taste of juice when I refilled it with water

I think it depends on whats used on how much foam there is because it varies. I happen to like the foam but thats just a personal preference. No theres no pitcher to separate. Also its still spraying from the crease between the machine and the catch container where as it didnt in the beginning. I cant figure out why so the bag i put in the catch container im now folding up over that crease to minimize the spray mess. and... the pulp is wetter than it was in the beginning. I just run it back through another time or two, i still get good juice but disappointed its only been a month and im already having issues. After the money spent, Im already thinking about my next juicer... :(

Yes there is some pulp that gets into the juice. It does not strain it completely.

Hi, masticating means that the machine does not destroy de fruit for taking the juice out of it, it has an auger in the middle that really squeezes the fruit parts against a grid chamber that filters the juice and separates it from the pulp. And this "squeezing" is made slowly (80 rpm) in order to let the juice flow once it is extracted and not pulverized in a centrifugal way as other machines do. If you do this too quickly and to energic, the juice gets oxidize, making it less tasty and less durable in time. It is really a remarkable machine in my opinion and you will tell the juices taste way better than others.

We love it. The pulp is very dry. It gets as much juice out of the produce as possible. We are quite pleased with it

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.

Good to know. Thank you. My concern was pulling down too hard, and possibly pulling the fruit basket down & breaking whatever container you where draining the juice into. Thanks again.

When I make juice, I drop the blade into a sinkful of hot soapy water and go drink my juice. In 15 minutes or so, I used a dishwashing brush to clean the blade. It's not too hard after soaking a few minutes. The rest can be easily wanted by hand with the same soapy water. The pulp should be sealed in a plastic baggie if it's going to be in the trashcan for more than a day because it will begin smelling quickly.

It is a great extractor and it strains the juice but there is some pulp as the slots are made to allow some pulp.

It's not easy to answer this in definite terms like what is a lot or how wet it is, I hope my own opinion on the subject is helpful. I feel the waste is relatively dry, which to me means it is extracting as much liquid juice as it is capable from squeezing from the fruit/vegetable. I find the drier waste easier to clean up. As far as how much that depends so much on what is being "juiced" but when I look at what's left it seems to be about what I would expect considering the process it uses to extract the juice, in other words what is left is truly waste and not unprocessed juice, so I would call that relatively low waste.

Mine seems to leak at the seam if I put too much in at once. Also, I do run the pulp through again once or twice. The veggies/fruits are too expensive not to try to get more juice out of it.

It comes with a strainer that you use after juicing. It gets rid of all the pulp so the juice is smooth.

Well it does juice it but not well enough. Not like other juicers I've heard about, like the omega and others.

Yes I've just checked and it's possible to remove the strainer. I've never juiced without the strainer so don't really know how it'll actually behave. You'll end up with a lot of seeds in the juice along with the pulp, I think. But removing the seeds shouldn't be too difficult, I suppose.
