is this spill proof? If theres juice in there that needs to be mixed after the pulp settles, can I just shake the jug without the juice spilling?

Sorry, nope - it will leak if you shake it and it's full enough to collide with the lid area

No, it's not spill proof. There's a little opening in the lid to allow fluid to pour through. And btw, using that opening for pouring drinks tends to be a little sloppy. So it ended up not having much purpose, and I finally through the lid out. Aside from that it serves well for cold drinks in the frig.

I've done carrots and it's not a problem at all. As Little Lolo already mentioned, it won't be a juice. It'll be more like a smoothie since you'll have small little pulp remnants. You could use a cheese cloth to strain the juice from the pulp, if you so desire. Although, nutritionally, it's best to retain the pulp for any fruit/veggie you blend in the Blendtec.

The juicer only has 3 parts that get dirty during juicing - and the pulp comes right out once dismantled - it is super easy to wash. Like the previous answer, I never even use the dishwasher and do it by hand

I wouldn't recommend adding powder through the juicer. Use a jar for your juice and add the powder then twist on the lid and shake. The purpose of the juicer is to squeeze out the juice of fruits and vegetables while eliminating the fibrous material. I love my juicer, Happy juicing ���

All I can tell you is that I put one table spoon in about 8 oz of high pulp orange juice and it's very easy to drink. I take one dose each day (when I remember). Not much flavor and like all these powder substances, it doesn't mix that well. It mixes best with orange juice due to the pulp and stickiness. Just shake it up real good in a container with a lid.

I do not believe it is THAT spill proof. I wouldn't put any liquids in it unless the liquid was in a container of its own

I have four of these jugs and have not had any problems with the handle. The only "issue" I have had with them is when using them with EXTREMELY pulpy vegetable/fruit juices the airhole in the knob at the top of the spout can get clogged with pulp and create a vaccum, slowing the pour. P.S. If you have TJ Maxx/Marshall's in your area you can sometimes get these jugs there for around $5.

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.

No need for that actually; there is no polarity on the spines of the cone that pushes up into the orange (or whatever). I've been using it virtually every day for about 2 months now, and what I do is to use the handle to get most of the juice out, then lift the handle, put the switch on the manual setting, and then push the orange half down onto the spines manually (with my hand) to get the last 10% or so of the juice out. This works great, and extracts every last drop.

all juicers will have some type of foam, but in my experience it depends of the veg you use. I use a strainer if to much, but I use it mostly for pulp. I would just remove it. There are some special plastic cups that has a lid on it to keep the foam in the jug while you pour the juice into a glass. good luck

Probably. The weave is fine enough to keep pulp in and allow the juice through. It seems big enough to hold a lot of pulp while leaving openings for the juice to flow out. I'd recommend you get it and see; it's inexpensive enough that your risk is pretty low.

since the blender tend to crush things into very small piece, the final result liquid is pretty rich, a bit too rich to be called "juice". it's not suitable for making juice because it doesnt have a filter to extract the juice from the fruit pulp. You might want to do it yourself but the juice will still be a bit grainy.

to be honest i haven't blended just liquids. most of the stuff i blend is fruits and ice. but i have noticed that while i shake the blender with water in it while cleaning it, that it does leak thru the lil sliding lever on the lid. but while blending i haven't had any liquids leak out thru the lid.

I have not tried to add any powder into the juicer while I am juicing, I believe it would jam up the juicer. I mix mine in a shaker cup with the metal ball in it.

Yes, the juice is collected in the cup through a strainer lid. The pulp, skin, etc., is pushed out the front of the juicer. Although the strainer lid does a decent job, I still use a wire mesh strainer before I consume or store the juice.

I've had the most luck juicing carrots with this juicer. The pulp that comes out is very fine and isn't wet when you squeeze it. It is kind of shocking how many you have to put in to get a decent amount of juice though. I don't juice often just because it is so expensive for all that produce but I love garden fresh juicing when I don't feel like going through all the steps to preserve large quantities. Hope this helps :)

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.
