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.

This more of a strictly juicing product. It would probably be better to use a blender because it allows the entire fruit to be used in the drink. This product just extracts the juice and leaves lots of pulp.

I threw mine out because it started leaking and sprung for a Vitamix (reburbished--5 year warranty). This blender blended fine while it worked but it does not puree hard vegetables like you describe. Vitamix is the the one you want to smoothies, using whole apples, etc. Whiz kid!

If you are looking for a "juicer" that removes the pulp - this is definitely not it. However, it puree's better than any blender on the market. The ninja does great with making great "snow" style ice, but it leaves unappealing chunks on basic juices. The Blendtec also does an excellent job - but you have less control over the speed. We use our vitamix for tons of things - even wheatgrass added to our fruit/veg juice! It is the best for making hummus. My knowledge on the other 2 blenders is experience from friends & family that use it for the same purposes I do. They are all going to get the vitamix too. Hope that helps If you are looking for a "juicer" that removes the pulp - this is definitely not it. However, it puree's better than any blender on the market.

My sister made several veggie and fruit smoothies while visiting us - she used leafy vegetables - baby spinach, romaine,etc. It worked well for that. But I don't think you'd get beet juice or carrot juice! (I used frozen mango chunks in it; it made a God-awful racket, even after I added some juice but it did finally make a puree for a smoothie with vanilla frozen yogurt. YUM!

I don't think so, this is for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables, you might want a mini-blender or regular blender for that.

Yes, the blender is also good for vegetable/fruit smoothies. It does pulverize and makes creamy smoothies. I like this blender very much. It has worked wonderfully.

my $20 generic magic bullet from walmart works the best and it is little ... for making smoothies. it does not juice either. i doubt the nutri bullet will if mine doesn't and this ninja blender doesn't. i am taking the plunge and purchasing a $300 juicer ... guaranteed to juice!

Yes! That's primarily what we use it for - making health drinks with frozen fruit. It's better than a traditional blender in my experience.

Not sure sent it back.it did well for some fruits but it clog with carrots and pinappleI really wanted it because it was a slow juicer to not over heat juice.Just didnt work out.

No, it only juices the fruits and veggies. You need a blender for that, some fruits like berries you can just throw in blender with the ice and whatever else.

It won't make juice like apple juice. It makes smoothies and it can also chop stuff up like veggies for salsa. You won't be able to make traditional juice from it though. Hope that helps.

It'll juice anything. It's a fantastic juicer for the price. It does leave a lot of leftover vegetable particles, unlike my Bullet, but what is left is just juice and not a lot of pulp, unlike my Bullet. I have juiced a lot of spinach with it, but no kale. I also juice carrots, celery, ginger, turnip, cucumber, apple, pineapple, and many other things with it. All things considered, I think you'll be satisfied. - Brian

The Blendtec is very good, it will blend out all the ingredients and doesnt leave any lumps,chunks or pulp. If you are looking for a juice like consistency then smoothies wouldn't be for you, the smoothie will be very thick and all the fibre strands from the fruits and vegetables are still in your drink. With the blendtec you wouldnt be able to see the fibre strands as it does an amazing job blending everything.

I would say yes and noThis is really a juice extractor more than anything We put frozen bananas through an it comes out like icecreamAnd you can make pasta with this as wellBut it's the best for juicing vegetablesIt's a Masticating Juicer

Yes, the Dual Disc Juice Processor is a smoothie maker too. It has one disc for juicing, and then it has another disc and an attachment to make smoothies with. Works very well for juicing and smoothies. I have had mine for a month now. I love it!

In my opinion, yes, it is way better than the bullet brand, and it will not make juice like a juicer can, it blends everything so well that it is a smooth pulpy juice type juice. It did not work good for dates, or wheat grass, but it is great for mincing,chopping, blending, and even aa sort of dough consistency type foods. It is a one speed blender, so it is fairly versatile. I use it everyday for protein shakes, it is the best basic blender that i have had so far.
