Can this blend veggies like carrots, celery, beets apples to make into almost juice consistancy?

I agree with the previous poster, that it will blend to a mush-like consistency, but not a juice. And for others who need it to chop and dice it does this well and we often use it for that purpose instead of using the food processor.

Haven't tried to juice with it...Can't see it actually reducing hard veggies and fruits to juice. More than likely you'd get mush. However if you need advice for a juicer I own an Angel juicer and it woks wonders.

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.

No, I don't think so. Are you speaking of sealing jars, like canning, or steaming actual veggies? You could do a quart of carrots to purée easily, or beets, but it is really better for a couple steaming vegetables for dinner.

Yes. I juiced broccoli, cauliflower, beets, kale, jicama, apples, berries, swiss chard, romaine, lemon, grapefruit, mint, parsley and more. The only thing that would not juice was artichoke, but I was probably doing it wrong. As long as you cut the veggies small enough to fir in the feeder, this juicer can do pretty much anything. I was shocked by how well it worked! Good luck.

It does a good job. I usually juice the apples and then blend it in the blender with kale and other greens. I've had no problems with it

I tried coarsely chopped raw carrots in a couple of smoothies and it blended them nicely. Kale is fine, too. Haven't tried beets or seeds, but they are probably OK.I am not a fan of this blender, but it is doing the job right now, which for me is making smoothies.

yes. I blend raw oranges, apples, grapefruit all the time to make fresh fruit drinks. Elite does a great job. It's quick and easy. Enjoy.

It's better than a juicer, it blends everything. I put vegetables and fruit and it blends them with ease...

Yes I have done that but usually what I do is blend it together with some fruit and fruit juice maybe some yogurt or kefir.

I haven't tried blending coconut, but I have put in apples (with skin on) and used the whole juice button. Comes out perfectly blended, no chunks at all.

absolutely! I've made apple sauce and apple butter, tomato sauce. it even does peaches. it will get all of the juice out and a lot of the pulp. My only recommendation is to flash boil them first, put them in ice water. cut them in quarters and throw them in the mill. you will be amazed.

Hi Barry. This juicer has worked amazing for me. I do peal citrus bc it would make the juice bitter so I don't have experience with that. I also peal watermelon and cantaloupe. I do not have to peal apples, carrots, kiwi, beets, and other fruits and vegetables. It even takes out all the seeds from strawberries which is great. Hope that helps.

You can use all Leafy vegetables, hard vegetables (Carrot, beetroot, cucumber, bottle gourd etc), hard fruits (like apples -- but the yield is not that good). I gifted this juicer to my father. I actually use an other juicer (MJ445 Stainless Steel Manual Wheatgrass Juicer) and i feel this is more reliable in the long run.

My experience with kale and other greens is that they blend very well. Sometimes I add whole baby carrots, chunks of beet, and whole strawberries, for example, in addition to the greens. There is a "smoothie" button on the panel that gets everything blended. As soon as that is finished, I hit the #5 button, and any small pieces of vegetables are instantly blended.

Absolutely. I use mine every day to juice greens. It will be a thicker mixture because it is breaking down whole foods and not extracting the juice. It is much more beneficial and works like a wiz. I add about 1 cup spring water to mine when blending. I love this blender.

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.
