Does this juicer juice beets well? I hear that some of this type of juicer will jam with hard veggies. On the other hand will it turn peaches to mush

Yes this juicer juices beets well and greens etc., if your peaches and apples are soft they will be mushy, they recommend you use hard fruit ,no jams it chews it very smoothly ,also I juice wheatgrass, as well, also make sorbet , they have a great demonstration on YouTube.com.Best juicer, I highly recommend it. Good luck.

I haven't juiced beets yet but I've done it with carrots. It was totally fine. I don't know if juicing peaches or bananas would be a good idea though.

Yes, it will juice beets fine, but, as the booklet states, it's best to soak hard veggies and some greens in water for about 30 minutes prior to juicing.

Awesome on beets, which I juice alot and when I do, I cut them in half. Any hard fruit juices well; so if you peaches are firm then no worry of mush. Still soft fruits will be mushy. I juiced a banaba once and was disappointed. Now I use bananas with the blank strainer and FROZEN fruits for a wonderful ice cream like treat.

Yea, you can juice just soft fruits/veggies just fine. I made a Wheatgrass and pineapple juice this morning, both softness. I've on many occasions used solely Wheatgrass /other greens. The rrecommendation of using a hard item in conjunction is to make sure there is no clogging. However, it isn't necessary. And if it does clog, not take a less than a minute to rinse out the clog and reattach.

Totally with both thumbs up, the Kuvings...I have the red one...or B6000 I don't remember the series. ..but that's the newest version I think. Its slower than others which is a PLUS because it provides more nutrients than any other slow juicer of theirs. I made a research till 4am before I got my Kuvings juicer and I never regret it for a second. Many people say it takes awhile to clean it up but come on, nothing in life comes for free. I adore my juicer and I enjoy it to its fullest! Good luck :) and stay nutritious.

After researching a lot online, the Omega was the winner to me in what I discovered in reviews & videos concerning juicing greens and wheatgrass. That's what I was looking for in a juicer. I have juiced leafy greens with hard vegetables & hard fruits and it does very well, very, very minimal foam. I have not juiced wheatgrass yet.

Definitely! I actually put the ginger through first while the basket is clean. I actually obtain a nice amount of ginger juice from an inch cube or so of fresh ginger root. I also juice beets & turnips. I get ALOT of juice from both. Go easy on the beets. They have a very strong flavor that will overpower the taste of your other veggies. Happy Juicing! Hope this helps.

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!

Yes it does, although it has never jam on me. I threw almost everything at it. Celery must be chop up do to its long string fiber. The parts look identical to more expensive slow juicer. AAA recommend. Soft Fruit such as pear is ok, but juices the hell out of greens. Like all slow juicers, it has some pulp, but you can always strain it, until you get used to it. After a month, I like the pulp and extra fiber. Take a look at the manual and compare to more expensive juicers and you see for yourself. My auguar is black and durable as the famous brands. Fabor is an european brand thats all. good luck

This juicer works great on wheat grass. It produces very dry pulp. We find wheat grass is just too strong for us to drink. We juice kale at the end of juicing a Tablespoon of flax seed, a knuckle of ginger root, followed by apples, celery, beets tops and roots, and carrots. We separate the bitter and very dry kale pulp from all the rest of the fiber to compost. The apple and other fiber we add pomegranate juice to, along with Ceylon (real) cinnamon,a pinch of cloves and some chopped nuts. We mush this into a dough then roll into balls to make raw vegetable "cookies" which are awesome and supply the fiber which gut microbes need to create satisfaction for us in fullness. We drink and eat these raw vegitable cookies each morning and love it ,really love it. Sometime we put a fresh raspberry on top of each one, really better than tollhouse, we follow with about half cup of cooked little red bead with garlic, red onion, and a fewcooked mushrooms since the health benefits of these cooked plantfoods are tremendous for satiation, fighting cancer and longevity. A good site to visit for latest research is NutricianFacts.org(not dot com) Mr Greger at NutricianFacts provides all the lastest research in hundreds of 5 minute videos. We are attempting to grow baby broccoli greens to juice since the research shows they are at least 20 time higher in nutrients than bigger broccoli leaves for juicing,why eat only the flower and waste the leaves. Dr Joel Furhman,of Eat To Live, has also been very helpful in our quest for optimum wellbeing. The best to your health Rachel

No experience with Green Star juicer but compared to other masticating juicers the yield is better especially with leafy greens. We have used the juicer daily for two years without any problems and to reiterate what others have said the motor may be overbuilt for juicing and the other components are top quality.

It works great for what I use it for. I use it to mash and separate the skin from the insides of my rejuvelaced (wheat berries I have soaked for about 3 days)wheat berries. It will do any soft food (ie fruit, avocado, corn). Handle turns very easy. With fruit I find the first run through does not get all the juice out. So just run it through a second time. I bout this one about 3 months ago. This is the only hand juicer I have ever owned so I have nothing to compare it with. However, it suits me so far so I'll probably not buy another one.

I would not recommend this for any green juices. I had a Green Power Twin Gear Juicer that was lost in our move and it was much better. It is ok for fruit juicing only - even with the Greens attatchment it is not as good as the Green Power.

Hi Eleanor D. I love my Waring juicer. The pulp stays inside, and it's really dry!!! No pulp in the juice though. :)

The unit works well with beets and cabbage. What I found was that any fibrous veggie I'm using, I cut across the fiber length, leaving shorter fibers. Short fibers tend to not clog the pulp chute as easily. Ginger root, definitely needs to be cut small and across the fiber!.Bottom line though, unless you're looking for a pulp machine instead of a juice machine, this unit is best on the market. It takes more juice out the veggies than any other machine I've used or seen used.

It juices all of those items excellently. I juiced pineapple, greens, carrots and beet the other day. One of the videos about juicing I watched on YouTube recommended this juicer as the best for fruit. I have found that for best results, the trick is to alternate items when juicing.

It is not very good with leafy stuff. Celery also leaves a lot of fiber stuck on the blade and eventually starts to heat the juice (not a good thing). That being said I am very satisfied with the product. Been using it twice a day ever since I bought it. Easy to clean and very effective in juice making. Also used it for almond butter. Excellent results. That's my 2 cents.

No juicer will juice bananas great because bananas aren't mean to be juiced. Throw those in a blender and make a smoothie. Read a book man.
