Does this juicer process leafy greens?

Yes it does process leafy greens, just don't overload the mixer or it will malfunction.
708717
Yes it does. Lettuce, cabbage etc. You jus got to increase the amount of greens to gain a proper glass full. But it does. I even tried water crest.
708718
Yes, it is recommended that you first roll the leaves together to get the most from your green leafy vegetables and follow them with an apple or fruit of your choice.

It will juice them, but they don't have much juice in them. It is better to use a blender for those.

Yes it does. I have used it for recipes that call for romaine or iceberg lettuce as well. All have been juiced successfully. This is a fantastic device! I am discovering it's just a matter of finding what I like juiced as far as taste goes but all my juicing attempts have gone well.

I made spinach juice with mine. I would think it would work just as well for any green leafy veggie.

With greens I'm using extractor to drink all... I'm using this juicer for my miracle juice everyday... And I love it..

Most definitely! I have juiced about everything in this juicer. It does a particularly great job on greens compared to centrifugal juicers, but it will pulverize the juice out of just about everything.

It does any fruits and vegetables. Wheatgrass is a whole different thing. You need special extractor as far as I know. I have a small hand crank on for wheatgrass. But honestly if you are using kale and other leafy greens you won't need wheatgrass. The other alternative is to just add dried wheatgrass powder after you make your juice. That's what I do now. Much easier than dealing with fresh wheatgrass.

I have never tried. When I have juiced greens though, it does leave a little more juice in the pulp. I just ran the pulp right through again...a few more times. The centrifugal juicers leave a much drier pulp, but then you have to stop and open the juicer to empty it when it gets full. But, I still like the convenience of the Champion much better. Even if you have to put the pulp through again, it still takes less time in the long run.

It does eject little pulp for leafy greens. but it comes with a filter dish which filters out any pulp that comes into juice. There are some techniques to avoid pulp into juice, check youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/rawfoods?feature=watch for more information on choice of juicer. I used the same.

Yes, there is pulp. If you wish to have less pulp, there is a strainer included with the machine that you can use after juicing. Since the machine does not "chop" the things you juice, the waste pulp can be rather dry and stringy (especially leafy greens), so if you want to add it back in, you may need to mince it up a bit.

I think this is mainly a greens and wheat grass juicer. I've used it for mostly wheat grass that I've grown. It works grat for that. I've also used it to juice kale, spinach and other greens. Love it for that. I juice carrots, apples,beets,etc. In a masticating juicer.

It juices all sorts of greens...even lettuce. I also juiced parsley but I wrapped it into a tight ball inside of the leaves of something else. Hope this helps you!

Yes, just make sure you mix the ingredients while you juice it. For example leafy greens - piece of cucumber - leafy greens and so on. This works great

In my experience, no. You would need to add fluid to the blender to get the greens chopped. Otherwise, the blades would just spin on the bottom and your greens just hover above them. When I make pesto, the blender struggles with the basil until I add enough olive oil to get a slurry going. I use my blender once or twice a day, and it's wonderful, but it is no juicer in my eyes. If you plan on juicing frequently, get a juicer. I have an Omega, and it's awesome.

just about everything I've tried works, celery, green peppers, tomatoes........I don't think it will replace a juicer if that's what your looking for.It works great for less heavy jobs, quick, easy and most of all easy to clean.

It blends greens very well. I got this blender to make good green smoothies, and it does the job perfectly! It will devour spinach, kale, frozen fruits, and regular fruits. it always has a smooth consistency, so you are sure to drink your smoothie- not eat it. I personally love it for my green smoothies. As far as leafy greens go, you will never have to eat your smoothie. it even has a pre-set smoothie function. I'll pour in coconut milk, add spinach, a banana, some frozen pineapple, and ground chia seeds then hit the smoothie button. it does a wonderful job!

Sorry I can't help you there. My daughter and I both have one and we love it for smoothies and slushy drinks. It makes those as smooth as you want. We never tried greens in it.

It is not a juicer such as the Green Star but does very well with this approach: strain it thru a super fine strainer after you puree the veggies and if you are as cheap as I am, you can then squeeze the rest of the juice out in cheesecloth (which you can then wash out). I am really pleased with this machine
