The open close lid on the juicer wiggles a bit and that causes the auger and rest of the attachment to slow-wobble. Is that normal? Please let me know

No it should not wiggle, everything should fit tightly together and turn smoothly.
2079420
yes, natural for the acrylic parts to flex a bit. better that than to break from the pressure. So far the most struggle with it has been strawberrys which must have the perfect seed size to clog the strainer. No problem with anything else.

If you are talking about the open/close ring that holds the auger in place, I do not think this is normal. In fact, I cannot move the ring to closed unless the auger is pushed into the unit as far as possible. My only suggestion is to make certain that the auger is indeed pushed in completely before closing and adding attachments. If it still happens, I think there's an issue with the unit.

hi, can you be a little more specific? I'm not sure what you mean by open close lid. I should be able to help you as I have this, and use it almost daily. Also, is your machine brand new? or did this start happening after some time? are you fully able to lock the unit in place. Once a week, I usually have to clean the locking mechanism, behind it, by removing all 4 screws. This is because juice gets behind there and starts making it sticky and difficult to lock and unlock.

It shouldn't rest on the auger. If there is nothing going through the machine it will rattle some. This is normal. The end where the pressed pulp comes out should be tight and never rattle unless you have it on a setting of one or zero. At zero the end comes off

* Slower spin speeds is a definite plus.* As of, "easier/more convenient to use"? This one flies by all of the others, in my opinion. Other people I know have a vertical juicer and one person said to me, when we were juicing apples & had to clean up, that this one is a lot faster clean-up time. * My next point is that I only have one well working hand, b/c of a T.B.I. that happened in 2003. Live on my own now & this juicer takes me minimal time to clean-up, I'd say about 5 minutes or less; as long as you clean it right away, so all the juice pulp & the juice itself doesn't dry on to the juicer parts. * * Slower spin speeds is a definite plus.* As of, "easier/more convenient to use"?

Yes, mine is the same way but its not a problem for me. I just turn it around gently and presto.....problem solved. Its works great so such a small problem is not worth time and energy.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours also not make that sound in one direction?

You need to push and twist with more pressure than you would think. I was afraid I would break it at first but it works just fine. Good luck. I love this juicer!

Sounds like you have a defective one. We had to send one back too. They replaced it. It shouldn't wobble and those pegs should fit snug in the holes. If you've never returned anything to Amazon before, just click under your account and then orders. It's easy.

I have a similar problem with mine. The lid does vibrate under certain conditions. My lid tends to vibrate more with a headwind. However, the box always remains firmly attached. I've learned to live with it.

If you check the champion website it says that this problem is due to cutter hole needing to be cleaned or lack of lubrication. This shouldn't happen, I would make sure the cutter is clean and the shaft is clean, makes sure I'm not juicing to slowly to heat up the juicer or using vegetables like grass that are causing too much heat and then if your still having problems get a new cutter.

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.

I have had mine for 2 years and use it daily I never have had a problem I have heard others say that thy break. the only fix is to buy a new one and do not apply a lot of pressure unnecessarily. You can buy a commercial grade one but costs a lot more worth it . if you do a lot of juicing.

Sometimes the bowl can feel stuck and you have to use a little strength and just push it out and up. It is kind of like a suction so you need de-sunction it. I juice a a lot of beets and that happens to me quite a bit so I usually have to wiggle it out with a little force. I've done it many times and it does not ruin or hurt the machine. It happened with the omega juicer I use to use as well.

Run the juicer a bit longer...there will always be a bit of moisture in the pulp. Unless you want to go with the $1500 models on the market you can't avoid it.

Hi Amanda, I bought this product for my grandson & we haven't had any problems. We just give it a good hard shake & it goes. the harder & longer the shake the faster it goes. Maybe you should send it back & exchange it? Good luck. Danalee

not at all ! I was amazed how it extracted the juice at no effort at all. No waste and the juice tasted really good. Very different from my old juicer. The only con I have is that the cover keeps falling off the juicer because I always put it up on the shelf. It will be ideal if you just leave it on the counter. Hope your arm feels better.

I have not had any issues with my machine. The screen is made of metal in this model; I'm not familiar with the previous model, but this really is a great juicer!

I have an OLD Juiceman II which still works great. Last year invested in a Vitamix. The best solution I've found is putting the Apples, celery, greens, lemon juice (helps keep things fresh!) in the Vitamix and blend it then poor it through the juicer after the root vegetables are done. It gives out a decent (not great, still leaves it wet) amount of juice that way. The spinners don't work well with the leafy greens. My next purchase will be an Amish juice press to press out the rest.

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.
